Most people here who go into discussions aren't interested in learning anything or asking genuine questions. They're usually interested in telling the world they're right.

I don't even know when we started basing restrooms on gender and not sex. We have a unisex restroom, restrooms say men/women/handicapped/family such a thing as female urinal exist a big one not a portable one just not often in the states. I haven't seen a restroom based on gender, I'm told and read they exist though but I find it odd since people identify by a lot of genders I just assume they have one all genders?

Although "Use google" is good advice, that advice also gets modded on many Western yet highly censored forums. Thus, if someone asks a question, it would actually make sense that non-rhetorical questions go unmodded. Even questions that might or might not be rhetorical should probably be let alone, so as to presume innocence rather than guilt. Anyway, I'll certainly never be applying for the moderator job so it's difficult for me to put in much judgement on their choices. A general hands-off approach should be encouraged, though. A good way to enforce a hands-off approach is to allow moderators to war with each other by undeleting each other's deletions. They will feel like their moderations aren't worth as much and won't do it as often. In such a circumstance you could actually allow more people to be mods and not have to worry about quality, much like wikipedia's method.

Just look at this topic. I dont recall a single offensive post. Yet a bunch of deletions. One of my posts was deleted because I said most Americans dont encounter someone who has underwent transgender procedure (I hope this is fine?). Thats literally why. Im thankful the mod actually gave a fucking explanation. Thats new. But this reasoning is insane. Because again, for the Just use Wikipedia lel, if you do not know you do not know something, and youre in the middle of a conversation where you yourself are being asked questions, one does not think to research in the middle of it Im sure Id be blamed if I read misinformation btw.

And also, just to elaborate on why I think this suggestion is unrealistic.Personally the first place I go when introduced to new math concepts is some place like Wikipedia if I'm not shit posting. I simply don't consider posting online to be conversational. You have as much time as you want to consider a response. It is different than talking with somebody right in front of you where pulling up something might be strange or rude. cuttin_in_farm posted... If you believe this, then I totally disagree with you 100%. This is why misinformation is so rampant already.

Yes and yes, No you didnt. Theres no way you read anything with any level of seriousness if you saw that as trolling. Theres a specific reason I backed out of the conversation when I learned social transitioning is a concept. I have bad news for yall if this is the reaction yall have for people with my questions. I dont live in those big cities or in a progressive state. But there are A LOT of people not knowledgeable about any of this, who may think they have a solid understanding on it. If yall are serious about wanting equality for everyone, yall need to show much more understanding about what people know. And what they dont. Getting loloffended and trying to censor discussion is NOT the right approach. Because all it does is make people angry. And angry people are not prone to reason. I was infuriated when I saw the moderation because I felt like I genuinely tried to learn, and instead I was told my questions are offensive. Fortunately Im not thin skinned, but seriously. We need to re-evaluate how discussions around people who are transgender is had. Because I dont see NEARLY the same egg shell walking when it comes to the black community. Which also pisses me off. Black people have been dealing with more shit for much longer, yet I feel like were still treated worse. I just wont fucking ask anything anymore if mere questions have people clutching their pearls. Dunno how yall handle real life, cause there sure as hell isnt a block button. --- A show of kindness may not do much help, but a show of cruelty may do much harm. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It kinda does make it less offensive.Offensive doesn't mean malicious. It means just that: offensive. Let's use a more extreme example: Let's say I used the n word with a black friend IRL about what it meant because I legitimately did not know it was offensive. Would it be unreasonable to for him/her to be offended and ask for an apology? I don't think so. It was still offensive, even if the intent wasn't to be offensive. The same goes for legit hard-core Christians who preach against homosexuality. In many cases, the goal is not to be offensive at all but literally save people's eternal souls (i don't believe in souls in you're wondering). However, their rhetoric is 100% offensive to gay people. Does their intent not make their statements offensive? --- <insert sig here> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Would it be unreasonable to for him/her to be offended and ask for an apology? I don't think so. It was still offensive, even if the intent wasn't to be offensive. This is where you and I differ. I dont like banning words across the board, so intent has to be a factor when it comes to censoring. A post being removed on a public forum would have to be purposefully offensive for me to agree removing it. Because if the person doesnt know, there WILL be others who dont either. Removing the question or mistake is akin to banning books that use the N word. Youre stifling discussion and understanding between people with different life experiences. People can be offensive about anything. Intent has to be present. Anteaterking posted... Why are you this concerned about being moderated though?

No, that doesnt make it a bad comparison. It only reinforces my point. If people dont know things, they can have many reactions. Im more open-minded, so Im willing to change what I thought I knew. Now imagine people like those stubborn parents or someone stuck in their ways. Removing their voice when they didnt know pretty much ensures they will never learn out of spite. This is not the right approach. Anteaterking posted... Flipping someone off in western culture is offensive. If you do it without knowing what it meant, it's still offensive. The ignorance of the person doing it might impact how you approach the situation in terms of possible learning and such, but it doesn't mean it's not offensive. Consequences should vary. Someone who is counting and so happens to drop to his middle finger shouldnt be seens as someone trying to flip someone off in a humorous fashion. Or more realistically, I use my middle finger to rub my eyes or straighten my eye brows a lot. One person once asked why I flipped them off to my confusion. When talking about it, I discovered my habit, and they came to understand flipping him off wasnt my intention. But we talked about it. No harm no foul. On Gamefaq, you cannot.

A post being removed on a public forum would have to be purposefully offensive for me to agree removing it.Sure, but tbh I'm as concerned about the moderation itself. Moreso the underlying question of can something be offensive if effective that wasn't the intent. cuttin_in_farm posted... People can be offensive about anything. Intent has to be present.And in this respect we seem to have some agreement. But we do disagree; I don't think it's unreasonable to remove content considered offensive even if that was the intent in a forum moderation context. The purpose of moderation is primarily to avoid updating visitors. I can agree it stifles certain conversations, and it might not be how I would run the website, but I don't think it is an unreasonable stance to take.
