I've been saying for years that if you aren't allowed to express one side of a discussion then discussion is not actually allowed. I see GameFAQs has finally clarified that they don't allow you to express your political beliefs. Now about all the the other subjects I've been suspended for having an opinion on. Will GameFAQs prevent discussion of those by both sides as well?

I've been saying for years that if you aren't allowed to express one side of a discussion then discussion is not actually allowed. Generally speaking, the discussions in which one "side" isn't permitted are discussions no decent person should ever want to have. Nine times out of ten, "I'm being persecuted for having an unpopular opinion" means something along the lines of "people didn't like me suggesting that the world would be improved if all the gay people died," which just isn't an opinion that has enough value to justify how clearly inflammatory it is. I've seen the line tossed around that "calling bigotry an opinion is like calling arsenic a flavour," and putting aside the technicality that arsenic is flavourless, I think it makes a good point: It is, technically, an opinion/flavour, but it does significantly more harm than good and there's therefore no reason to think that way or bring it up unless you're trying to hurt people. --- This is my signature.

Ex post facto enforcement of rules is unjustifiable and kind of Orwellian if you think about it.I mean, it isn't like you are going to get a judge or jury for any of these moderations anyways, it is more like a dictator's whim. Granted, now a days the mods are more lenient, but I have had some absolutely stupid ones in the past, like get a mod for using the word "frack". They called it a censor bypass, but it is mostly a Battleship Galactica reference if anything.

Well... Even as a BSG reference, it would still be a 4 letter word. Frack(ing) refers to a form of shale gas mining. Although under the current rules, it might be too much of a political issue. --- Official Teetotaller of PotD Dovie'andi se tovya sagain! ... Copied to Clipboard!

None of those changes were good. I mean, if you preferred the old method of "copy text, paste text on to a separate new post page, italicize text (using manual html tags) because that's just the accepted convention for quoting, hope you don't need to quote more than one post because everything you've written might disappear if you try to go back to the topic," I guess you might have a problem with the quote button, but given that you're using the quote button instead of the manual approach (which is still available), I kind of doubt you actually preferred it. Revelation34 posted... There was the one where I got modded for linking to the dodo Because you're you, I'm going to guess that your entire response consisted of the link to the Dodo's page, which leaves quite a bit of ambiguity as to whether you're doing that to share information on the page or just to call others "dodos." That ambiguity could have been removed if you gave some context for your link instead of expecting people to read your minds, so I'll say fair, next. --- This is my signature.

Basically, something like context matters? Precisely. Leave it open to interpretation, and people are going to interpret it as insulting and mark it accordingly. Notably, even if they weren't personally insulted, if they want to mess with you they can mark it as flaming and have it deleted accordingly, since the only excuse the mod staff need to remove the post is "somebody was insulted by this." By making an effort to communicate more clearly, you take away that option. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. ... Copied to Clipboard!

What about Sundowner longing for the "good ol' days after 9/11" because he misses how aggressively militaristic the US was during that period? That is a character from Metal Gear Rising and thus, not real life, but he is providing commentary on real-life events and the political climate that followed them.
