Please unban socks. I hate socks, but I hate censorship more.

Please don’t be Reddit. Unban socks. This isn’t Reddit.

If M7 allows repeated overt advocation of violence against specific individuals, this site will eventually get shut down.

I don’t believe that.

If you let socks say what he did about Tucker, then to be rule consistent, you would have to allow other users to advocate for violence. If this site had right-wing calls to violence against specific liberal TV hosts, it would get shut down.

Imagine u/waffen1488 going around saying what socks said sbout anderson cooper or don lemon.

So do a week ban.

Same difference. Magnora7 is attempting to have a fair standard here. Just because every other platform allows leftist calls to violence doesn't mean this one should. Maybe when musk fully takes over twitter we can have a site that truly allow non legally actionable calls to violence on both sides but that day is not yet here.

So why not address the behavior?

Week long ban. Remove the comment. We’re not a large group yet. It’s completely manageable at this time.

No need to ban.

I understand, no violence. I won’t break the rule.

But a ban seems extreme.

Magnora7 most likely based the ban on the repeat infractions.

He's already had past temporary bans for this exact behavior. We already tried with him over and over and he keeps doing it.

Thank you for addressing me. I’m really upset about this. I personally hate socks, but this is how it started on Reddit.

Best of luck. I’m sorry socks continued calling for violence. But I do think socks saw his violent calls as more of art or release. Not a commitment to an action or planning an action.

"Art or release" doesn't matter. If it looks real enough that I have to wonder, I'm going to treat it as real. I don't really have an option if I want this site not to get in trouble federally. This is exactly how we've done things for 3 years now.

Sure or 60 days, or 30 days, whatever deemed appopriate. I'm not opposed to a temporary ban as a warning. I'm not sure if this was done in the past with socks.

Reddit's not the only site that bans threats of violence. Literally every US based site does that because US law requires they do that.
