ahaha you did think that

personally?

Wow you operate in such a way where you reply to people who reply to you?

It isn’t my semantics it’s the part of the language we are speaking. It’s uhm not really up for interpretation either. I think it would help if you understood that just because it is an excuse, doesn’t inherently make it wrong. What makes it an excuse it is an explanation or justification which moves responsibility from one thing to something else. That should help you.

Whether or not I think they are (((trolls))) or not doesn’t change the fact

FTFY

You didn’t apologize before I hurled descriptors at you. I mean it wouldn’t make a difference now I had to tell you that it was the right thing to do. That fact that you never thought of doing the right thing is what matters here. Actually you keep trying to double down and dismiss it rather than just bite the bullet. Hung up? Judging you based on your actions buddy.

Are you under the impression I engaged with you first? You saw this thread, saw my comment, felt challenged then decided to try justify your actions and you want to have a cry about being replied to? If you feel I am berating you stop replying to me and I’ll stop responding take some fucking responsibility jackass. You have been all over the place with denying your own words, making up poor excuses then not understanding what an excuse is, constantly changing goal posts to justify your poor actions it’s just non fucking stop with you isn’t it. You have no integrity you could at the very least apologize for very weirdly attempting to deny your own words. I mean that was just weird yea hindsight 20/20 you are just a dumb person but you could still apologized for it. You know the difference between right and wrong, right?

If that was true why did you come to this thread in the first place. No dude, you came in hard trying to justify banning random people based on your feeling. Yes downvote accounts should be banned but they aren’t really relevant to the discussion other than you trying to frame normal people as them.

Why is it wrong?

You tell me I am not the one making broad leaps of judgement to justify my actions to myself.

I don’t think about these users full stop. I just see that an account is mass-downvoting all content in a community I moderate and ban. When it happens. It’s pretty rare.

Yes but the people you banned didn’t mass downvote all content in the community you run. We covered this already, you need to make leaps of judgement in order to justify this to yourself because you know what you are doing is wrong. No it isn’t deep.

When explaining your actions and you justify it by blaming something else… Wait because you didn’t intend for it to be an excuse you think it isn’t an excuse?

Ah yes, you miss a lot. Yes yes I know you have painted pictures in your head of people based on meta data you dislike, that is what I am saying is part of the problem.

They’re not excuses, they’re perfectly valid and justifiable reasons.

Your own words… You described an excuse. It’s kinda interesting to watch you deny things you said 2 posts ago like when you said multiple times you never called anyone a troll but it’s like right there for all to read…

So now it is EVERY post and you know how they feel about a community? Has anyone you banned in the past met these latest requirements?

It shifts blame it is an excuse that is extremely basic. You should have absolutely no authority you are stupid as fuck

Intent does matter intent doesn’t matter you really are confusing me dude I can’t imagine this is easy for you, either.

It would be wrong to think only a developer could fix something especially when it isn’t broken technically.

Your actions?

Thanks lol

I’ve given you my logic plainly.

Perfection. Thanks:

The intent doesn’t matter.

If it seems they fundamentally dislike the entire community itself (<- you are inferring intent here)

I refer you to my [email protected] example.

Your example is my example for how you keep changing the goalposts and trying to frame the people we are talking about as acting with malicious intent.

In what ways should the system change here?

How could I do that?

Yea no I would not have imagined more than that from you.

so I work within the confines

Great excuse 10/10 moral high ground statement

For you maybe

Unless they are part of a network with malicious intent they are just a power user in my eyes.

What things about me would this be?

Your hard on for control and mental gymnastics to justify it.

The goal posts are changing now it is people to come into the community with malicious intent this whole time? No we are talking about people curating their own feeds with the upvote and downvote feature always have been.

Okay mass downvoting is bad - is mass downvoting something an individual expressing their opinions can do inadvertently or is it a malicious action by a malicious individual? Again you are trying to paint someone with a different opinion than you as deserving of mod actions.

Given the context of the thread and explicit clarity it is obvious what you are doing. You keep trying to paint individuals using provided means express themselves in ways which you happen to dislike as evil doers who need banning.

Be real, if you truly feel the way you do, without malice, isn’t the righteous thing to try to change the system instead of banning those participating in it? Have you made an attempt to change how downvotes affect smaller communities?

Very simply factually wrong. A downvote is a contribution in itself so there is that, pretty basic. Yes I am aware of the picture you are trying to paint against individuals you disagree with. It’s a trump style move. Things about you are starting to make sense…

I am not misunderstanding you, you are misunderstanding me. What I am saying is that “only ban users who mass downvote and never contribute” is wrong, both factually wrong and morally wrong. An individual can’t mass vote, a vote is a contribution. You are not a reasonable person, you know this by now right?

People who downvote posts in your community… I am not sure what you are trying to do by denying it? It is right there you can go reread what you wrote…

“Different opinion” is not equal to “abuse or harass others”. If you were right would you need to make such leaps in logic?

Oh I was confused by the way you called people trolls so I thought you called people trolls my bad obviously /s

Well heres progress. They are “repeat downvoters” and not (((trolls))) now?
