But I fear the information I reveal in it, and its tone, might cause me to get banned from this sub were I to post it here.

As long as it is reasonable, you will not be banned.

That's good to know. Thank you. I am always nervous posting here, in part coz in the sidebar under "Moderation" it says

Rules are interpreted subjectively...

Permanent bans are instated upon mod discretion.

As a result, a lot of posts I've composed for this sub end up getting shunted off to a computer folder called "BNCI" (better not chance it), LOL.

From what I’ve seen nobody gets banned. There was the whole rape apologist scenario and he’s not banned. You cannot be more offensive that that was.

That person was banned, although I have stopped short from making it permanent at the moment. They lost their ability to participate for 30 days.

Not what I was told when I brought it up on a different account (different mod told me I was free to take a break but no rules were broken) but glad to hear he was actually finally held accountable for the rampant misogyny he posts.

May I ask which 30 days? I’ll be leaving again once they are up and he is allowed back.

I didn't know this until I started using my laptop... Saidit has public moderation logs: https://saidit.net/s/GCdebatesQT/about/log

The ban took place immediately after the incident, so there 6 days remaining. They may or may not actually participate again, but if they do and make any similar statements or violate our rules, I will ban them permanently.

Really appreciate you temp banning and giving a rats about the whole situation. Moderation is a shit of a job, so thank you.

I trust your decision.

In general, we take a light touch. If something violates a stated rule, I’ll usually ask for the user to edit. Most commonly it’s because they used a disallowed term or directly misgender a user. The only person whose actually been banned was masks.

Was that from the old sub or the new sub?

I feel bad for Masks. She seems very unhappy.

Well, i'm the founder of this sub, and i do not intend for it to be censored as long as people stay on topic. Which is why i'd like you to be a mod. Are you interested?

I'm not sure I would be suitable to be a mod for a couple of reasons. But I'm honored to be asked, and I'm interested in discussing further. I've long wanted to find out what modding entails - I am clueless - and how people become mods. I'm also curious about how sub rules are established on matters such as the terminology considered acceptable - and what the procedures are for questioning/challenging them and suggesting other alternatives.

I think these issues might be of interest to others as well. How about we start a thread on the topic and discuss both the generalities and my specifics in coming days?

A thread in private mail or on this sub?
