Current Events > What could've been done to make 261 not toxic enough to get nuked?

Topic List	Page List: 1, 2
KingDavid 06/01/23 3:56:02 PM #1:	I always noticed that 261 had 6 or more topics made by Humble Novice on the front page, with many more on the following pages afterwards, and he was just one poster that would routinely spam topics on a daily basis, and would also spam said topics on a daily basis. A solution to this is to limit the amount of topics someone can post on 261 to a certain amount, so that topics made by Humble along with many others could be posted less frequently allowing topics that weren't made by those spam posters. I think 1 or 2 topics per day or 24 hours would suffice. Another problem with 261 was the fact that most of mods were far, far left wing. While I understand and advocate for the banning, suspending, and removal of posters that advocated for election lies, Qanon level conspiracy theories(or even just conspiracy theories in general), and blatant racism, I got absolutely ridiculous when someone would get modded for for simply advocating for a moderate or right point of view along with being called a racist, or fascist, or a transpobe. I've seen posters on other boards say that they've been modded for simply asking a simple question, or for simply disagreeing with them. <cite>KingDavid posted [p:973861965] in What could...

CoyoteTheGreat 06/01/23 4:00:19 PM #5:	I mean, we know it wasn't nuked for that reason precisely because they've nuked other boards that weren't toxic at all, and ignored other boards that are, so nothing. The only thing that could have stopped it from being nuked would have been it going into some different corporation's hands. We are always at the mercy of some awful CEO or another.

The way y'all define both "far left" and "woke" can be summed up as merely anti-racist and/or anti-bigotry.

Initially, DToast officially announced that political discussion boards, "specifically ones that violate our terms of use by promoting abusive language", were closed. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/6-gamefaqs-announcements/80445446 But that justification looked ridiculous when the GameFaqsModerations subreddit boasted that they were responsible. Someone on CE posted their step-by-step guide for a mass email campaign that specifically targeted DToast less than two weeks before 261's closure Then SBAllen "clarified" that 261 was closed just for being a political discussion board. But he made that clarification on CE, not as an official announcement, and DToast's original announcement about abusive language wasn't corrected or deleted. This just created more controversy on CE. It completely contradicted DToast's reason and didn't fit the timing, considering that 261 was closed abruptly despite this supposedly being in the works for many months. But it had to become the new policy going forward, which explains why the rollout has been and will continue to be disorganized. --- "I am a man of somewhat retiring, and I might even say refined, tastes, and there is nothing more unaesthetic than a policeman." <cite>Strand posted [p:973863736] in What could...

Damn_Underscore 06/01/23 5:11:49 PM #38:	How about actually ban the toxic users. This board has definitely gotten more toxic over the last few weeks (or there are just more toxic users). I really hope that won't be the death of CE --- Why should we wait for some better time? There may not even be a tomorrow. <cite>Damn_Underscore posted [p:973863776] in What could...

videospirit 06/01/23 5:13:46 PM #39:	There is no level of civility that would have kept 261 from getting nuked. Fandom has it out for political discourse. It's "We passed a law that everyone must be happy, why isn't everyone happy" logic on their part. They feel acting like fascists and censuring their brands thoughtspaces to only contain their approved contents will improve their brand somehow. --- Is there any other time in a modern democracy where large numbers of citizens complained that their government wasn't enough like a tyrannical dictatorship? <cite>videospirit posted [p:973863819] in What could...

WTGHookshot 06/01/23 5:17:51 PM #41:	I think the bigger question is, how long until CE gets nuked? The 261 posters will just migrate elsewhere, even without 261 (like realpolitick).

I've seen so many people who "lowkey" want to start a revolution and enact a Marxist society. There's so many freaks out there, most death threats I've seen come from them rather than the bigots they constantly reeeee about. --- :) <cite>xlr_big-coop posted [p:973863976] in What could...
