BIR actually bothers to mod here, much like peaking. I’d rather keep them, thanks.

Besides, loads of actions are given second chances here, like when you told me I’m morally wrong and barely human for not helping a rapist I injured as he raped me.

Man is not a dehumanising term except to you. Why do you think the community should have its languages policed according to your idiosyncratic definitions of words?

It’s literally in the rules. Mods should enforce and not flaunt the rules. It’s pretty simple.

The word you mean is flout, not flaunt.

And she broke the rule once. She doesn’t need to be removed. I’m sure by now she’s well aware of the issue You have.

She’s not getting removed, so how else can this be rectified for you?

So we should get rid of one of two active mods and have less moderation overall, because you’re the grand arbiter of what is and is not dehumanising?

Why is what is or isn’t dehumanising up to you?

This has nothing to do with dehumanization and everything to do with rules.

Clearly the issue of language exists for users here and ignoring our questions isn’t helping this call for removing BIR look any less petulant.

Like, the rape apologia rule had to be made specifically in response to you and yet you’re doing this over the word man and BIR (and everyone else’s) refusal to think man means ‘big smelly ugly violent cave monster’

The rules explicitly state no sexism or misogyny but you regularly post yours.

Should we also instate a rule saying users are not allowed to use the community members as a tool to emotionally self harm? You’ve done a lot of shitty things here to be riding a high horse masks.

I’m not a moderator.

So you’re above the rules? You can say whatever sexist, dehumanising, offensive shit you like without consequence but BIR has to go for using a sexed term you choose to define as an insult?

If I violate the rules, you can go to the the mods. When a mod does that process doesn’t work.

The mods who have been extremely lenient to you? The mods who let you back after dehumanising me because I won’t help a rapist I’ve injured?

Really stop and think about your own shitty actions in this sub

[–]circlingmyownvoid2[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

The mods can do what they want to me. But they haven’t acted on the actions of BIR as evidenced by the fact that the admittedly rule breaking posts by her haven’t been deleted. But no one cares so what’s the point?

[–]loveSloaneDebate King 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

If the consensus is that everybody can break the rules what exactly is it that you want?

She broke a rule. Once. What do want to happen? because it’s clear nobody else wants her gone, so what will appease you?

[–]circlingmyownvoid2[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Not calling me a man anymore for one. But apparently the rules don’t matter who so I’m probably just gonna dip.

[–]HouseplantWomen who disagree with QT are a different sex 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Will you stop saying shit like men are monsters, men are hideous, men are disgusting, etc etc?

And what I’m saying is she did it once. You act like she does it all the time. My point is not that she didn’t break a rule- she did. My point is she’s human, and otherwise she’s done a good job and if all you need is for her to not do it again then there’s no point in leaving unless overall that’s what you need for personal reasons.

The rules have never mattered and we all know that. Almost all the rules get broken if you look over like any random two or three posts with a decent number of comments. We’ve all called each other things that upset each other, we’ve all been rude from time to time, like- if you need to go then we all get it, but I think it’s a reach to act like the 1,035,644th time a rule was broken this year it needs to be turned into a witch-hunt.

I get you hold her to a different standard because she’s a Mod. Mods deserve second chances as well.

Again, if the sub is too much for you in general please do what you need to do for yourself
