Why did Generic-Giant-Spider get nuked from orbit?

The problem is that he did that every single time Atlet was in sb for weeks.
It's funny how the usual mod response to these kind of cases is "just put him on ignore". Except when they don't like the user doing the shitposting, curious.
problem is that spider often had people that referred his post when put in ignore. But in the end nothing of value was lost. I feel a bit bad tho because spider used to be a good poster before going full retard.
What does that mean?

Other people tried to circumvent the ignore by telling what he wrote to people that had him on ignore? How is he responsible for that?

Pretty much they did that with me. But i simply ignored him and his gang for a whole day. Had terrible day at work so i wanted some peace. To then unignore them a day after.

The number one rule of the internet has always been to never talk about personal stuff on the internet until social media faggotry became the norm, whatever is on the internet is public so go fuck yourself. You tranny enablers are worst than the trannies.

Yesterday was a bad day for loligang. First Meb cajoled Joggerino into leaving it, then they lost their #1 enforcer.

I don't really have a problem at all with the enforcement of a "no harrasment"/"don't get personal" rule.

It rarely adds anything to a conversation, and the only real con is that some people would try to game it to try to get people banned. Which is a con for any rule, really.

The extremely lax enforcement of the rule pretty much prevents that though.

I think it is just common decency to avoid getting personal and mostly stick to the ideas discussed while keeping insults to generally light banter, although everyone gets heated from time to time.

I have also noticed that the people who get personal with insults consistently strongly tend be people that mostly just want to cause drama and try to deliberately make the codex experience unpleasant for people they want to drive away. Which is anti-speech behavior.

What the fuck? Free speech is anti-speech behavior?

Trying to silence someone else is anti-speech behavior. Whether you feel people should be free to do whatever they want and that is what makes free speech free or whether free speech is about enabling individuals to be able to speak up and debate and engage in the free exchange of ideas is a philosophical position, I guess.

I'll tell you something, it starts with that. That's how it always starts. With good intentions. Oh, we'll just shut down excessive shouting so everyone has a fair shot.

But then it grows. It always grows. I've seen it in every community. First come the rules. Then, the moderators. Then, the moderation over time grows stricter.

You must fight this tooth and nail because you'll lose freedom. You think it's worth it to shut down a few troublemakers but I'm telling you from experience it never ever stops there. And once you open that door you can't ever close it and it'll open ever wider.

There's a difference between shouting loudly (which didn't affect the other person's freedom to shout themselves or wait until the shouting dies down) and silencing the one who shouts. Now tell me again which one of those is silencing speech?
