Sorry, let me clarify: "it's a guide" implies that there are other unstated considerations which influence content removal and bans besides the pyramid itself as written. The only other considerations besides the pyramid of debate are vending of illegal materials, pornography, self-upvoting with alt accounts, and doxxing? "Guide" implies there's some other true target the guide just helps you reach, that enforcement is ultimately based on that true target.

[–]u432[S] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

several instances of admin abuse in the case of /u/Voldesad's ban and ban appeal:

  • failure to mention some motivations for IP2 bans (DMCA takedown notices were mentioned later only after prodding and followup from the complaining user, not mentioned at first mention of the problem as they should have been if the admins were being honest about their reasoning.) (comment)

  • misrepresentation of the reason the user was banned, considering how much similar content is allowed from other users on IP2 (comment)

  • suppression of user complaints: "I've let a lot of things slide, which you should be thankful for." "I've cut you all a LOT of slack, so how about you do the same for me once in a while?" (comment)

  • using reasons not stated in ToS to ban people: "this user was slinging a lot of shit and causing a lot of problems, and also dragging down discussion on the pyramid of debate. All combined, this is worthy of a ban." (comment)

  • abuse of power for personal convenience: "I could communicate this more, but every time I do you get upset like you are now, so it's a lot easier to just remove problem users." (comment)

  • trying to suppress user complaining about legitimate problems, banning for things not in the ToS: "I'm not going to spend all day arguing about petty drama when I see clear rule violations, and users causing us lots of trouble." ("causing us lots of trouble") (comment)

  • special treatment for specific subs: "On the main site users get 3 warnings, but on IP2 they don't" (IP2) (comment)

  • suppression of personally troublesome opinions by falsely implying obligation to self-police troublesome opinions: "Some DMCAs are valid, some aren't. It's a pretty big burden on me to have to sort through which is which. And I do this all for free. For you all." (comment)

some accounts that have posted content which drags discussion down on the pyramid of debate or which advocates violence have not been banned.

The ToS do not state that advocating violence is not acceptable content, only that repeatedly dragging discussion in a downward direction on the pyramid of debate is not acceptable content.

It is objectively pyramid-lowering, whatever else is going on there.

being halfway called a caveman

Is this "halfway called a caveman?"

Are you a caveman? I get a strong "I just learned how to walk on two legs" vibe from you.

It is difficult and tedius to educate someone who just arrived in 2020 from prehistorical times

How can one person believe so many wrong things at once?

Rethink your life.

Mind, there was no ad-hom or namecalling in the parent comment.

... actually, this is arguably ad-hom:

You want to be a woman cuz their lives are easier but it just will never happen. It grosses us out.

I had misread parent comment as "they want to be women because," not "you want to be women because".

I have revised my assessment:

parent comment: contradition + ad-hom + name-calling

reply comment: contradiction + ad-hom + name-calling

assessment: not pyramid-lowering

I'm very careful not to call it a free speech site, the pyramid means it's not. Magnora doesn't call it a free speech site either as far as I'm aware.
