I'm gonna be so pissed if half of those signatures turn out to be fake.

I used to frequent Communities.win everyday, but I got real tired of their Identity Politics. They're "exactly" l. They insist everything is because of a conspiracy of the "white" man, and heavily downvote, abuse, sea-lion, and get generally mad when people point it out. Not to mention inveigling themselves into power positions and punishing/banning .

the internet was a lot better when there was a slight barrier to entry, in that you had to be somewhat technologically skilled to even use and access it. Now any retard with a smartphone can access it and post whatever dumb shit for the other retards to lap up. One thing I appreciate about this site is that it seems like everyone is fairly intelligent.

@ Lost-Zeneration-99:
I know it sounds like gate keeping but I agree but most of them are on the same what 4 sites anyway. I just wish people would learn how to stop knee jerking as a reaction to everything and learn how to have basic critical thinking skills.

@ Houseman:
Gate keeping is not an inherently bad thing :)

@ Lost-Zeneration-99:
I do find it funny people get offended about harmless shit now that everyone laughed at a few years ago. It very strange how people are and sort sucks when you still think it the 2000s but it not. lol

@ Dale Gribble:
Well it’s like anything if you just let anyone in you lose what makes it special and cool

@ Vendor-Lazarus:
I've seen this happen in reddit gaming subs. Gate-keeping is seen as bad, but the entire definition of a sub-genre is keeping out things that don't apply. Yet it seems every game is in every genre now and you can post whatever game. Making it difficult to find games of a similar nature.

It does have a certain temptation to make this place an invite-only cool kids club, but nah. We have to be open to all. As long as they follow the rules.

@ Vendor-Lazarus:
Except that the rules will allow the same previously mentioned bad actors (identity politics) from the aforementioned bad places to come in en mass and ruin the place.. Not that I'm advocating for invite-only.

What would you advocate for then?

@ Lost-Zeneration-99:
I cannot really see that happening to us, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some nut jobs did.

possibly, but they’d be ripped to shreds in an instant. Like how any conservative opinion on Reddit would be downvoted into oblivion

Yeah, see, that's where I'm stumped too.. Not "hate" speech, obviously. Just brainstorming here, but perhaps something extending the Troll rules(s); Blatantly derailing (bringing up their jews and white people and satanists and whatevs constantly and where it's not relevant), Completely nonsensical posts or threads, and perhaps some sort of fallacy conduct?

We already have rules against derailing, and completely nonsensical posts. Logical fallacies are allowed though. You are allowed to be dumb on Sanctuary and we are allowed to make fun of you. :)

@ Vendor-Lazarus:
That only works when the "smart" people are in a majority. If "dumb" people come here in droves and starts attacking the "smart" people, that goes completely out the window.

@ Vendor-Lazarus:
And then the "smart" people leave because of harassment and their points being drowned out.

Congratulations. You're now Reddit, imgur, 4chan, scored, stormfront.

The way we're set up, it's a LOT harder for even a large group to commandeer conversations. And if there's too many of one kind of topic, I make a new sub-forum and shove all the threads of that topic in there until activity in that topic dies down.

We have major strengths that those other sites do not.

This is why "the left" don't post here anyway. It's a filtering mechanism. The threat of being called a retard and not being able to cry to the mods keeps a lot of people away, because they can't survive without that.

@ Arnox:
Alright. FINALLY back home. I can respond to Houseman now. lol
