i'd prefer if you just let the iron left have their sub, let them be users like everyone else and dialed back on the control. because it isn't working

edit: removed reply to fred_red_beans response below, by iron left, which i found by browsing to their username https://saidit.net/user/__Oldsmobile_88__

links to m7 truncated

Anti-Censorship Repost Counter: 7 They have a sub.

Except we don't, retard.

Yes, /s/ironleft exists. But we don't have it.

We are not allowed to interact with SaidIt regularly, including our own sub, at all. ANYTHING we post ANYWHERE, regardless of what it is, gets removed.

magnora7 posts a classic Sesame Street clip. We do, too. Ours gets removed as "obvious spam."

And the reason why we "had to be taken off of /all" was provably made-up BULLSHIT.

GTFO you bleeding TOOL. lol I don't even...

p.s.: lol Made you edit your comment to "reply" to my comment you keep removing. If you weren't such a pathetic coward, you could just reply to my comment like a normal person. 😅

And no: you're confusing cause and effect. The "drama" and Astroturfing® are a DIRECT RESULT (not the cause) of magnora7's mishandling of the Iron LEFT -- as others have also pointed out by now. Do your homework, dumdum. If you're that easily mislead to confuse cause and effect, putting you into ANY position of authority is a tragedy.

They have a sub. It's not on s/all. So what?

They don't like it, go to some other site, or they can make their own. This site's code is open source and freely available.

edit: This 88 user keeps making alt accounts and replying.

Keep in mind these are the people that keep voting spam to the top of the page and keep trying to cause drama and division on saidit. That in of itself is good enough reason to ban them and ask that they leave saidit.

oh wow. you [removed] every single post of oldmobile_88 when he was engaged in a conversation in this submission, explaining what happened. Something i'm sure many of us are keen to read

[–]fred_red_beans 7 insightful - 5 fun7 insightful - 4 fun8 insightful - 5 fun -  (21 children)

No, I'm not interested in seeing his drama bullshit on this site.

It's divisive and disruptive.

You want to have a conversation with the user, go do it somewhaere else.

[–]JasonCarswell 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun -  (8 children)

Remove the user, don't remove the content. People will obviously see it's lame but at least there won't be the mystery of potential abuses.

[–]fred_red_beans 6 insightful - 4 fun6 insightful - 3 fun7 insightful - 4 fun -  (7 children)

If it's not removed, then the site will be filled with spam divisive content

[–]JasonCarswell 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (6 children)

Ban the user, stop them posting. Don't remove the content.

Build an admin-only universal [-] collapse function or something.

Add a new "spam vote" so people could label the crap. Make all the "spam votes" 100% public so you can see who your accusers are in case of abuse. A rule of no "spam vote" abuse should keep it down or get the abusers banned too.

There's no limit to ideas, alternatives, and solutions, but M7 won't even discuss it.

Then they make a new user account.

They've made literally hundreds.

Why are you advocating for people who are intentionally destroying this website?

[–]JasonCarswell 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

They're gonna do it anyway. Grow up, grow a pair, and work around them. ASK the community for ideas. I just came up with more today that I shared with Fred.

Why are you advocating for people who are intentionally destroying this website?

MORE bullshit spin.

I am NOT advocating for them at all. BAN THE FUCKERS.

I AM advocating for not censoring content. THEN we can see if you are making any mistakes. You are not flawless.

[–]magnora7 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

Okay so I should ban you too for breaking the rules, right? Just like I do with everyone else. Why shouldn't I? Why do you think you are special and the rules don't apply to you?

[–]bobbobbybob[S] 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (10 children)

It's divisive and disruptive.

many would say that the admin actions are far more divisive and disruptive.

that's the problem with power. it corrupts, and suddenly you are not moderating a site for other people, but to suit yourself

Same general physiological processes. Anyone might be envious of my soul crippling ADHD though.

[–]magnora7 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

They've broken hundreds of rules, and suddenly we're supposed to give them a free pass? NO

What's the point of having rules if we just let people ignore them whenever they like?

[–]bobbobbybob[S] 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

they didn't break the rules until you banned them for no good reason. We've seen their side of the argument now, at it seems clear that a simple misunderstanding blew up into ridiculous overreach. You claim they put their site back on s/all repeatedly after you told them not to. they say the did it before you spoke to them about it, as an innocent act of confusion.

I'm betting other people were involved in this, talking to you and feeding you bad information. If i'm wrong, tell me.

maybe you could try getting off your high horse and backing down. Do you want to be the authoritarian dictator, crushing the site in your grip, or do you want your creation to run free?

What's the point of having rules if we just let people ignore them whenever they like?

I agree, rules are good. but when you go full fascist on people when there was confusion, maybe there was a miscarriage of justice. I know Chipit is feeding nonsense about coordinated state attacks, but its daft as anything. I don't know why they are fighting so hard, but my experience is that saidit was the last best place left on the internet. Maybe they had a dream, too.

the silence is deafening

Bob3 can't read this because he's blocked me, an unfinished feature.

I agree, the censorship is MUCH more disruptive.

i blocked you because you kept sending me sexual content
