Saying something along the lines of "I criticized Fox News' coverage of insert politically-charged event here" should be fair game, assuming that's somewhere in the ballpark of what you said. It also might not be, because the rules are extremely open-ended due to how vague the term "politics" is and nobody's been willing/able to provide any clarification. It's kind of up in the air. If you want to play it safe, even without knowing what you had modded, I can tell you that you can probably conclude that you were modded not because the mods were defending Fox News, but because whatever you posted fell under the umbrella of "political posting."

You don't.

adjl 04/17/24 10:15:55 PM #27:	slacker03150 posted... I think this is the closest thing we have to clarification And even that doesn't do much, because GameFAQs doesn't have any communities whose "main purpose" is any of those things. There are communities where such subjects come up from time to time and where there's moderate consensus on which position to back, but not communities specifically created to take such sides, so the policy has no basis for being applied in the first place and the fact that they're applying it at all means they've made up some other interpretation. That Timmy's saying "it's not possible to come up with an all-encompassing definition" while justifying a policy that needs an all-encompassing definition to be applied with any sort of consistency doesn't exactly inspire confidence that they have any idea what they want to do with this. For that matter, that last bit saying "the intent is to use a stringent definition of politics that covers clear trolling and flame wars" means absolutely nothing has actually changed. Clear trolling and flame wars have always been moddable on every board, without any need to say "no politics allowed outside of a board that we've now quarantined." So... I really don't know what to believe, except my expectation that this will largely blow over in a couple weeks and it'll be business as usual because mods won't care enough to actively police social boards to slap down "political" topics. SKARDAVNELNATE posted... A new policy that you admit was announced 2 days ago and was not in effect 9 months ago when the moderation occurred. Ah, I misunderstood. I thought you were talking about a moderation you got since you returned from your vacation, not the moderation that earned you said vacation. In that case, I still feel pretty comfortable assuming that you've misinterpreted what happened. The most likely issue was that one or more of the examples you gave entailed crossed one of the lines that are not tolerated, such as Covid denialism, Jan 6th denialism, or advocating for the abolition of human rights for some disenfranchised group or other. You probably won't be able to share the details without getting modded again, so I'm afraid you'll have to content yourself with that explanation and take this as an opportunity to reflect on what you did wrong and try to improve (though given that you've sat on "the mods were defending Fox News!" for nine months, I can't say I'm overly hopeful in that regard). --- This is my signature.

That specific subject, no. Discussions in which your overall mindset will get you into trouble if you don't adjust it? That's more likely. SKARDAVNELNATE posted... I wouldn't do that over GameFAQs' PM service. I vaguely recall a notion that someone got modded for sharing a moderation over PM. You can get modded for sharing moddable content of any sort over a PM, but the only way for that to happen is if the recipient marks you. It'd be a pretty massive dick move of me to invite you to PM me something then mark you for it, such that you could easily get me penalized pretty heavily for trolling if I did such a thing. Pinky swear promise, I won't mark it. I do genuinely believe you're trying to understand and you're just having trouble connecting the dots, not that you're actually trying to be malicious, so if I can help you connect the dots, that's a win in my books. SKARDAVNELNATE posted... Well that's just it, isn't it? I have no way of knowing how unassailable it is if I can't discuss it. That line of thinking is exactly why I say you shouldn't be proud of your consistency: If you can't refine your own opinions by trying to assail them yourself, you aren't thinking critically about the subject. You're deciding on a position, then waiting for somebody else to put in the legwork to prove you wrong. Getting other people's input through debate is very helpful for refining positions, yes, but you are far from being without options if you can't debate them. You can gather information yourself and conduct your own tests of your hypotheses to see if they hold up. That just requires you to actually be open-minded enough to accept that your first belief might be wrong, which is something you seem to struggle with (and, to be fair, a lot of people struggle with that to some extent or another). --- This is my signature.
