Grow up. “It still stands” means that despite it being rude you stand by it. That’s how words work.

Grow up

Hah. Ironic.

"It still stands" means despite the fact i was rude with my delivery, the underlying point still stands. That point being you have issues interacting with people without being toxic. The conversation is over, you got your warning, push the envelope and see what happens. Sorry you can't get away with whatever you want anymore.

That is not true. I've warned off Houseplant and even deleted her comments before. You could easily verify this by looking at the mod log. In fact, I remember that, as soon as I made you a mod, I had to warm both of you so you stoped arguing.

Sadly, no one can, because the geniuses behind this website make the log clear beyond 2 months. But regardless, there are plenty of reported and unmoderated clearly rulebreaking comments from her in the reports you ignored. I can link them if you want.

Then go through my posting history and see by yourself I was never the awful and biased mod that you and QT user think I was. Really, go through the mod mail and you can see that even Porcelain_Quetzal was forced to admit I've been fair after a QT user wrote us to complain about me.

Okay, I get you slapped people on the wrist. But unless you can explain literally ignoring reports about house where she is undeniably breaking rules I don't know what to tell you. Like, you can talk about these things all day, it doesn't change the evidence. House clearly needed more than a slap on the wrist more than half a year ago. You didn't do it. She's been reported so much it's baffling, and it's clear a lot of the lack of qt users you guys have is directly related to her.

Edit

Just looked, Even porcelain herself said she didn't think you were biased in your moderating, but was concerned about the posts being left up.

Second edit, it isn't just you, peaking and porcelain clearly didnt do anything about it either. God only knows why.

Any comment I ignored was because I didn't think it was worth of moderation. You evidently disagree with my criteria, that is all. There are very few spaces where you can question transgederism and I wasn't going to police every wording from GC users just so we have a few more QT users. I stand by my opinion that the lack of QT users is because they are not interested in debating.

Also they are too used to be in a bubble where any question or doubt about transgenderism is treated as heresy and where everyone is forced to use "inclusive" language. Of course they won't like this sub unless we apply the same criteria than elsewhere.

And i mean that's fine, you're allowed to believe whatever you want. I'm not going to try and change your mind because you clearly had access to all this information and didn't think differently then. But the fact of the matter is house abused your lack of policing to an extreme. I stand by my opinion that primarily she created a toxic environment that the qt posters who WOULD have been interested in posting here didn't want to deal with her being given free reign.

No group is a monolith, people are unique. You're right that the majority of trans people live in that bubble, but clearly not all of them do because plenty have come and left.

Speaking as a QT the only posters who were so hostile that they would have discouraged my participation are gone now (flippyking and adungitit). And biologyisreal did delete many of flippykings comments when i reported them. I also talked to houseplant, lovesloane, and marktwainiac and it was fine. Not the nicest people but it feels patronizing to suggest QT needs people to be nice to us to participate. I stopped participating because I was told this is strictly a debate sub and not a place to ask questions about GC views, so I started lurking instead. My advice would be to broaden the scope of the sub as most QT are probably not used to debating and its super overwhelming coming in and having 7 different people responding to your posts/comments expecting answers, and everytime you respond you get 7 more answers, etc. There are no places on the internet where we can even just talk to each other openly. That might be a good start for QT.

I'm not a mod anymore, so you really don't have to hold back because of what I told you months ago.

I don't really think any of the GC posters here are "nice" traditionally save maybe worried. But that's not the issue. The issue is house breaks rules because she's never once been punished for it beyond biology saying stop. It's an issue exclusive to her. Flippy left because biology didn't ban a qt user (who honestly i would have banned had I been a mod then) and I wasn't really here to even see adungitit so I can't really comment on them. Your personal experience with house notwithstanding, it doesn't change the fact that she unashamedly and openly breaks rules, and after I was made mod I said specifically I wouldn't tolerate it. And I didn't. Simple as.

You're welcome to wait the generous 3 days, which at the rate this place moves is pretty much nothing, and tell her that yourself though. Not that I don't doubt she's still lurking and writing a very long essay about how i'm on a power trip for doing what should have been done 6 months before I showed up.
