My dude, rep doesn't affect the decisions the moderators make. That's just not how it works. Rep is 100% pure vanity.

Or, you could not do things that break the rules, and thus not get warning points applied to your forums account.

Upvotes mean literally nothing, much like existence.

I am absolutely terrified of your Dark Horse anime AMV. Utterly terrified.

I got you boo.

Unless you have actionable proof that we're attempting to ~~kill off the forum population~~, please cease casting baseless aspersions on the GOONS community, thanks and dogbless.

Yes, they do. That's why they are rules, not guidelines.

Nation Link: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=40925 Ruler Name: Hui Nature of Violation: The baseball team is named "gooks", which is a racial slur directed toward persons from Asia, specifically Koreans, Vietnamese, or Filipino. The country also has some vaguely Nazi themes, such as calling itself "1st Reich of Hothf" and having Fascist social policies. It's pretty clearly a thin mask of propriety. Also, the nation slogan seems to be derivative of the "Fourteen Words" slogan, which is a rallying cry for white supremacists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteen_Words Screencaps:

This is some TimeCube-level shitposting. Reputation points have absolutely no bearing on the number of warnings you get, silly goose. You get downvoted because you post like poop. You didn't get any warnings before we showed up because nobody reported your insane, overtly hostile, and/or inappropriate posts.

Please stop embarrassing yourself.

Are you high right now?

The actions of one staff member reflects upon all of the members of P&W staff, regardless of their specific area of responsibility.

I make no distinction between forum and Discord moderation staff. The actions of one reflect on the other.

Baseball is fine.

Also, 4 goons got 2 day suspensions for Tuco insulting us all directly, but Akuryo currently can insult mods and nothing happens. I would be happy to prove this but as there is no public log of moderation actions, can't really do that now can I? There are also entire ingame communities that simply don't engage on the forum or official Discord due to the toxic and hateful poltroons who dominate those spaces, unpunished, and then get upset when someone is finally brave enough to call them out and make them face some sort of consequence. So yeah, stop rewarding bad behavior. Stop letting facists, bigots, and other blatantly hateful people have a platform. Stop letting members of the moderation staff defend or protect them. Put some sunlight on the outcome of infractions.

I'm not *implying* anything. I'm straight up stating that some members of the moderation staff misuse their power to shut down people who complain about their behavior.

"The answer to hate speech is more speech." And thus we discover how alliances full of wannabe fascist children and creepy anime not-quite-pedophiles totally get to slip under the radar. The moderation staff consistently and continually err on the side of decorum at all costs instead of removing persons who are demonstrably acting in bad faith - breaking the spirit of the rules while adhering to the letter. The moderation staff has also repeatedly used their power to shut down complaints when they misbehave. Regardless of what one might think, goons don't have an organized reporting campaign going. We all operate individually on that aspect.

Whereas you, an intellectual,

I would like to introduce you to the concept of a joke. But you wouldn't get it. Did you know that not everything someone says on the Internet is true?

There's always a chance they've come up for air.

Nice field of straw humanoids you have there, friend. Are you normally this far up your own rear, or is today a special day where you put extra effort into smelling Ayn Rand's farts?

This is the best thread on the esteemed Politics and War forums, unsullied as it is by ancap lolbertarians, vaguely inappropriate uncles, and wannabe fascist children.

This is by far the worst thread on the Politics and War forums, an esteemed locale frequented by ancap lolbertarians with overwrought "Latin" usernames, wannabe fascist children, and everyone's vaguely inappropriate uncle.
