Given that it is not possible to edit a post while you are on a forums mute, I don't think it would be fair to expect people who are on a mute to edit their offending posts to keep from getting warned again for the same post. On this note, it's also difficult in the extreme for a muted user to seek clarification or clemency while muted, since they cannot send private messages to the moderation team on the forums, and there is no non-forums method of contacting an individual moderator due to their strict anonymity. It also is unfair, in my opinion, to levy more than one warning for a given post, since the clear intent of being warned for a post is for the forum moderation team to communicate that the post broke the rules. Then again, some members of the moderation team have made clarifications on how they personally process reported posts, where said clarifications strongly imply that they assume that a reported post is always a post which breaks the rules and issue warning points based on a process of elimination, rather than observing the context of the post and determining themselves if the post breaks the forum rules.

It's not about logic. It's about sending a message.

This thread went downhill as soon as you started posting in it.

What even the heckle are you talking about?

We aren't fabricating a damn thing. We report ableism, slurs, and other general Bad Things Which Are Against The Rules when we see them. Also, as a note - "pre-censored" images doesn't make the image okay if it's baldly associated with Bad Things. The solution to bigotry, dog-whistling, and other forms of hate isn't to politely ignore it and hope it will go away. The solution is to tell the people doing it to stop, then (figuratively) beat them with a clue-by-four until they get the picture. The only problem with moderation is how little of it is done proactively. The thing you don't like is how unimpressed we are with your pseudo-intellectual BS, and just how much foully poisonous crap we've dredged up to report to Alex without even trying. The solution to not being allowed to risk cutting yourself on your own edge is posting on Stormfro- oh, wait, they got shut down. Never mind.

Quoting for posterity. This is a Good Post.

Then it would behoove you to link to this previous report. A warning was issued for No Discussion Forum.

Oh my god, someone call the frigging FBI! Someone spied on an unfriendly nation in a game about politics and war, which have never once in the history of man involved espionage! Call the CIA! Call the FSB! Trumpet loud and clear that mans are bad for spying on other mans for the sake of a browser game!

Can I have your stuff?

Who knew you could use so many words to say so little?

This thread is a new low for the esteemed Politics and War forums.

What the hell did I just read?

No we just can't help ourselves when someone presents an easy lay-up. Nobody is being coerced into anything, champ.

Please refrain from making spurious accusations of real-life crimes on these esteemed browser game forums.

Nobody who has done the mercyboard has been forced to choose the weird food options. They're always presented two options that involve drawing something silly, writing something silly, singing something silly, and so on.

Are you mad, though?

Agreed.

It's funny how you think we have any control over what Alex decides to do. We just report shit when we see it, usually when we are scrolling down through someone's nation details to see how much military power they have. I can count one hand the number of people in "Coalition B" that goons have reported for breaking the rules and have 5 fingers left over. This person gets it.
