It would be kind of funny if, in protest, mods set automod to remove every post for inciting violence
lol what happened?
Link to thread?
moderation like this is pretty stupid. why not just let people go nuts in a thread? it’s contained to a fucking thread. That’s the whole point of The construct of a thread.
If it gets racist or vile you still need to shut it down. This is a topic poised to become racial stereotypes told by majorities about minorities. You usually don’t verify the origin of the claimants.
E.g. those Turks and their bazaars trying to scam each other of the last penny, or something antisemitic.
I might have erred on the side of caution as well.
i moved from the united states to a country which has a pretty intense haggle culture. without being able to talk about it, you might come here and think you’re just being scammed by everyone.
Not my point. I just presented an argument for closing the thread. There is a valid conversation to be had, but having it is difficult.
it sounds like from op’s drawing here that it was a discussion which was working. if the threaded Reddit style paradigm isn’t the right format for this type of discussion, I don’t know what is
