Actually that post was banned, as was the user. Some mod re-added the post, so it's been removed again.

hail one of the largest mass killers in history

Not allowed on any sub. The same rules apply to everyone. If you don't like the rules we have in place since day 1 then leave. Simple as that.

You literally want this site to be reddit but worse in every way, I wish you good luck in attracting more users. There's no reason to use this site over Reddit now.

It was said several times that the post was a joke, but I guess that you need an "/s" on every post to understand basic satire.

Because we won't let people praise mass murderers? "It's JuSt A JoKe"

Definitely a shitpost that shows GTA V gameplay with clips of ER dancing in his car is praising a mass murderer. It just screams worship to me. You also claimed that you didn't saw the video so that's very nice of you.

Why do you want to watch a mass murderer dance? What part of that is entertaining?

[–]FatBoySlim 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (9 children)

Why not? It's a shitpost after all and made me chuckle (mostly due to it's editing).

And even if someone posted only the clips of him dancing in his car, it doesn't glorify his actions, or him in any way unless you're the type of person that likes to get triggered over everything you see on the internet. Also, that video was fine for youtube, but somehow not fine for this site?

Yeah it's a gray area, but the title was pretty unambiguously praising a mass murderer in a way that was very easy to take out of context. I had multiple users PMing me about that specific post because of how fucked up it appeared.

ER is a huge meme in the community and with any posts about him comes a lot of criticism about his actions, which I think is totally fair. We currently live in times where we make fun of mass shooters and I think that's perfectly fine.

Those multiple users are coming from Reddit, mostly from r/IncelTears and they don't understand satire or anything, obviously, they'll overexaggerate anything and say the most generic stuff like "That's really fucked up!" or smth like that, while it didn't show anything bad. The former subreddit on Reddit r/braincels was flooded with mass reports and mass false flags made by r/IncelTears, from posting CP to doxxing users of various incel sites. The same people who reported that post were responsible for DDOS attacks on your site (that's pretty obvious since DDOS occured when the incels' saidit sub was gaining traffic). These guys are bullies obsessed with inceldom and most of them (ironically) are incels themselves.

Also, were all of these accounts (that PM'ed you) with 0 posts and comments? If yes then it totally proves my point.

We currently live in times where we make fun of mass shooters and I think that's perfectly fine.

I disagree with this normalization. That isn't the "times we live in" that's just some messed up stuff certain people choose to engage in. Stuff we don't need here tbh.

I get it's a meme, but to a passer-by when they see "Elliot Roger Tribute" or "high score list" it is painting the actions of a murderer in a humorous and positive light. It's not funny, it's damaging. Damaging to your own mind, damaging to the community, damaging to the website.

I understand the false report problem, but the bigger problem is that it's breaking site rules.

And you need to understand that sometimes people post violent content with the INTENT of making this site look bad. People like yourself are supporting potential content that could be used as a weapon to shut this site down. Do you see this angle of it as well?

[–]FatBoySlim 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

How did that post break the rules? How did it glorify violence? Is a guy dancing in his car (with GTA V clips of just driving a car) glorifying violence or advocating for violence? I checked the rules and it broke none, but I guess mass reports are way more important than actual reports with value.

You are, by way of administrative choices, in complete agreement with the usage of terms such as nigger, faggot etc., on this website, and the subsequent normalization of the usage of these terms.

Perhaps you would like to normalize usage of these terms yourself, but I'm guessing it's out of a desire to pursue 'free speech'. But then, these terms are they not also similarly damaging?

Either you police it all, or you police it as you like. But don't pretend the 'rules' are applied evenly.

'A monument to Stalin!'.

'A monument to Stalin!'.

'A monument to Stalin!'.

Point out which of these titles I've created that displays shock, and which displays reverence and appreciation. Which is the one which is sarcastic?

This is unambiguous, to you, after all.

Which one is permitted on saidit? All three?

Social justice warrior. He was obviously joking.. And even if he wasn't he has full rights to freedom of speech and can praise whoever he wants.. Who are we people to judge what's good or what's bad.. This is Internet.. Dont like it? Ignore it

[–]magnora7 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (8 children)

Well that's all fine and dandy until saidit gets shut down by the feds because people were advocating violence on here.

Then we all have NOWHERE

As long as you/we don't commit crimes we are good Praising hitler and making memes should be ok. Brate sta ti je

[–]magnora7 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (6 children)

Yes until there's a mass shooter that posted here, like happened to gab.ai. It's a known attack vector to shut down sites like this. We're just covering our ass so this place can exist for more than a few years

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

Yeah i see. Well.. Do whatever then i guess.. My [redacted] brother

[–]magnora7 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

Have to draw the line somewhere... I'm acting in the long-term best interest of the site in my opinion. Basically anything that won't get us shut down is allowed tbh

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

Magnora7, you're doing a great job mate.. .and if we troll you sometimes just ignore it.. ♥ it's ur own site so do whatever to preserve it

[–]curryvirgin 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

To be clear then, joking of any kind about any murderer is not permitted on saidit. Humour and fun, are then, not an intended usage of this website, unless they meet the criteria of the admin's sensibilities.
