I’m not sure the situation is improved by a faux authority figure coming in and shouting “we don’t allow slap fighting here!” They’re assumedly adults, so like… let them slap fight and just deal with the eye rolls from onlookers?
I guess I just don’t understand what benefit this kind of moderation is offering and I believe it’s a holdover from the corporate sanitized social media we’re used to that we can and should eschew.
I can’t speak for others, but I’d rather scroll past and ignore bickering adults than a flood of “removed by moderator.”
Not necessarily objecting or complaining, just expressing a viewpoint. Cheers.
edit: For clarity, I have not checked the modlogs so i don’t know the discourse that happened here. Obviously if somebody is only posting in continual bad faith then that’s a detriment to the community and they and their posts should be removed. Things have nuance and context matters, so I’m not trying to make any blanket statements here and acknowledge my potential specific ignorance in this scenario.

We aren’t going to allow threads full of “I’m not touching you! I’m not touching you! I’m not touching you!”
It reaches a point where it boils over to full on trolling, which is more serious and results in longer and longer bans.
Y’all act like children? We treat you like children and send you to your rooms.
Once they cool off, they’re welcome back, but if they keep at it the 24 hour ban turns into 3 days, 7 days, or more.
