Alright good folk, what’s your take here.
It’s not “appeal to authority” when what I’m speaking from is the TOS (which, if you think is clowny, you can leave this domain right now). The TOS is made by those who are rightfully in charge, having formed (or inherited) the instance with their own two hands. Calling it “appeal to authority” is like calling it appeal to authority to say you own a bike and that you prefer it to not be stolen because you are its owner, even if the TOS happens to have the same things in mind as the law, whose own enforcers have the power, good or bad, to shut the domain down. Murdering people is what we would refer to here as lawbreaking behavior (which I am surprised I have to specify as it has been against the rules in every place that ever existed, except for, ironically, Germany under the Axis Powers, so take that as you will), and by extension this casts a shadow over anything that invokes/tempts it. It’s not rocket science.
You attempting to portray ocean’s comment as a crime, which it is not.
At best, it is ToS violation which is fine but clearly public is not pleased with this modding behaivor and hence why we are documenting the bias on this topic here.
You have the right to mod as you please and general public has the right to know the weak underpinnings you are relying on to censor public sentiment
Cheers;)
Wow, maybe, just maybe I’m not the one in the wrong here. Neither ethics or law care about public opinion, right and wrong are still right and wrong. Your underpinnings are freedom (without regard for the laws that go with freedoms, or the freedoms of Brian Thompson, which are wrongly called “murder”), populism, and inaccuracies about what went down that day… basically a recipe for “it’s acceptable because I want it to be”. If it was about “public sentiment”, there’s a lot more you wouldn’t see that you do, and there wouldn’t be harassment sprees in places like the DM’s to try to cope.
Showing your colors, mate, thank you.
Sensibility is not a color.
