The peasants are slowly coming to a realization in the constructive thread:
How the C-Word rule is handled is a disaster, it's still not part of the general guidelines and hasn't been announced side wide, just in here and it is absurd to enforce it under those circumstances.
How hard is it to copy and paste the announcement that was made here into the guidelines and slap a banner visible to everyone at the top of the board? Or just block access to the board with a message that has to be acknowledged before access is restored, that way everyone who posts anything would know about the rule and would have no excuse.
It's a problem I used to have with GAF and it's a problem I have here: it almost feels like specific rules are created but then obfuscated. It is grossly unfair to punish people for breaking new rules that the site staff haven't made the minimal effort to properly announce and/or document.
yeah, I don't get it. It's like there's a reluctance to update the main forum rules without the new rules being formally crafted and integrated into the body of the text, but that's more work that people don't have time for, so we're left with a bunch of new rules and policies buried in the middle of threads. Just fucking write addendums to the community guidelines! It would take like a minute. you already have the rule and rationale written out. I'm sorry for the cursing but it's kind of exasperating. I genuinely do not understand why it's like this and I've run forums before.
Not that I use the word so far as I can remember, but yeah, the com on this is bad. I checked this thread just in a whim since I don't really routinely check it and just happened to see the staff post, which replaced the actual word due to the filter and it took me a minute to figure out what the hell it was talking about.
Combine that with this just getting announced in this thread and in no generally posted guidance, with very specific corrective actions to be taken dependent on a number of variables, and this really need to live in the TOS (or whatever we call them).
Yeah I feel likes its just to catch people out. I use the word frequently IRL as its just part of general language here(Australia) doesnt really carry the same shock factor as the US and is often used as a positive, but I'd be annoyed if I got banned for using it cause the rules were hidden away.
Y’all about to get hookup knife'd if you’re not careful

Some amusing things the modship have broken or ignored time after time again, since I'm there:
We do not allow behavior or rhetoric that attacks or discriminates against users based on race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion or disability.
Unless they are white, asian, hispanic, cis, male, female, Christian, or Muslim, of course. You know, context matters.
Low effort, inflammatory, or insensitive drive by posting is always unacceptable.
Lamenting or mocking the sensitivity or “outrage" of others in reference to legitimate concerns, or claiming that members are pretending to be offended.
See, they remove the legimate from action so any questioning is considered lamenting or mocking, regardless of whether its a good faith questioning.
Condescendingly talking down to people who are affected by sensitive issues.
Attempting to shut down the discussion altogether.
Hell, the mods themselves do this.
Defending heinous behaviors (especially those related to bigotry) or supporting individual public figures who are guilty of the same can constitute inflammatory posting, even if the tone of your post is otherwise mild. Note that members found trying to abuse this policy to bait others into bans will instead be moderated themselves. This policy is intended to guard against provocation, not encourage interrogation.
Yet somehow, the bolded is never enforced. ... Ever.
Prohibited Games
As a general measuring stick, if a game is not appropriate for broadcast on Twitch it is unlikely to be appropriate here.
Yet, two of the biggest ones...
Other games will only be considered for this list if the staff receives a direct complaint about their contents.
Ah, so their 'don't demand a game be banned' actually flies right in the face of the their own ToS. Great.
We do not allow advocacy of violence, explicit or otherwise.
We have zero tolerance for doxxing, which refers to publishing private information about individuals (address, place of work, private phone, etc) as a means of retribution or to encourage harassment. Doing this will likely result in a permanent ban. Encouraging others to do this will also result in a ban.
Again, mods have even broken that rule themselves.
