Grace Note

A moderator stepping in is meant to get us to that war of reason. To get us actually communicating, engaging in a dialogue with each other, to see everyone's perspective. And this doesn't differ in the scenario of a reopening - with the only stipulation that they can't really lock it open because locks defeat the purpose of why they decided to go with "Leave open for now" instead of "Stay closed for now".

Why take a particular action? There's two general reasons for this action. One is because they may believe this is the state the community is likely to end on - it saves there needing to be any action taken after the discussion because the community decision lined up. Two is because they believe that this is the state the question stands best to give it the most appropriate level of discourse [...]

A question may need to stay closed to prevent extra damage accruing during the discussion, or it may need to stay open in order to allow for additional data to be provided on its validity or invalidity.

Grace Note

The main thing to take in, is that the moderator doesn't take action because "The people before me were wrong." It's because "Let's put it in this state while we get a discussion going."

Okay.

Frank

@GraceNote Thing is, though, that's exactly what happened.

11 hours ago, by badp

Yeah, the community making wrong calls is thankfully exceptional

11 hours ago, by StrixVaria

I'm going to chalk this "community decision" up to not quite remembering the "Good Subjective" guidelines. That's why it's re-linked in the comments.

If it was to generate discussion, I'd be all for it.

This, though, was not that.

James

I hate to step in with this but is this topic of interest to anyone else or might it be moved to a different room where it may not have an impact on potential topics in here?

badp

00:10

We begged you for discussion. You weren't interested.

James

@badp Question Retracted

Frank

@badp You weren't even attempting to address my points.

Any particular reason a discussion has to be had on your terms?

Grace Note

Can we cycle back to the part where "Neither side was addressing either side's points" and again note that there was a stalemate in discussion because neither side was aware what the other was going for?

We just got past this point. And yes I'd be comfortable moving this to another room if others are fine with this.

James

@GraceNote Nah Nah, there are lurkers who are paying attention. I was unsure.

And now I am going to go take lunch and just not come back to work

Cya quiet chat room :)

And sorry if me asking brought all this up again

Frank

Sorry, afterhours support. Distracted.

Grace Note

00:17

Putting aside verbiage that is indeed real and that real words were said, I s'pose additionally if we look at things in a certain sense, option 1 wherein a moderator acts under their interpretation of the community's will does imply that the other side can be seen as "wrong".

agent86

Frank

@GraceNote Which is what has colored this entire discussion.

Grace Note

From that perspective, though, any sort of action on the site is a challenge of being either wrong or right. This is a system built upon dualities and oppositions. To that end, then, let's then look at divorcing the negativity of being wrong.

Both in the sense of it being a bad thing and in the sense of it being a bad thing.

Frank

@GraceNote For the most part, I have absolutely no problems with being wrong; never have.

The point at issue here is the coloring of the discussion from that point forward. It's no longer a discussion among peers.

Grace Note

That is by your own judgment call to assume that.

Frank

It's me having to argue me with someone who has the capability to ignore my points entirely, and me having no recourse.

@GraceNote At no point, anywhere in the discussion, was my argument given any merit of validity whatsoever.

Grace Note

No, they don't have the capability to ignore your points, and no, you actually have quite the recourse to address this.

Frank

Even with us talking past each other, the positioning of my points as wrong colored the argument in a certain manner.

Grace Note

During the original discussion, I'm going to repeat as I've repeated twice now, that points were missed because people weren't seeing eye to eye. This not only isn't a matter of moderators ignoring you, it's also completely independent of them being moderators at all because three normal users took the same perspective.

Frank

@GraceNote Which can be argued rather easily of the mods coloring the discussion.

Grace Note

00:28

Or you can assume the users... agreed?

Frank

I don't think I'm going to agree with the actions taken here, nor your viewpoint of how it went down.

Grace Note

Or you can simply assume that they independently came to see the same perspective of addressing one thing instead of the other thing

Q: FreeOrion ship production variables

I'm playing FreeOrion (a free 4x game based on Master of Orion), and when I put a ship in the production queue, there are two drop-downs at the top-left which both affect the total number of ships that get built. But, I don't understand the difference between the two options: You can see that...

freeorion

Frank

To me, what happened was incredibly disappointing, and completely one-sided.

There needs to be more transparency in the actions mods take.

Grace Note

My ultimate objective here is to assert that what happened here is not because of some kind of moderator abuse but because of moderators acting in their station as representatives of the community. It may have been one-sided, but only in so far as leading a one-man charge against the every of the one.

Frank

00:33

@GraceNote I submit there was an inherent bias in the actions taken here, and I do not agree with what was done, nor the actions taken thereafter.

Grace Note

Because the point where we consider a moderator acting in their accordance of their station as abuse, is a fundamental breakdown in the expectations of what a moderator is to do.

At this point, I'm rather disillusioned about the whole thing.

I don't say I'm completely in the right; I'm not.

I must determine dinner and you yourself have expressed tiring of this discussion. I will understand whether you'd like to revisit this discussion at a later point, or if we shall agree to disagree for now. Though even in the latter case, I don't say that we actually disagree anyway.

And regular users have no voice to submit that disagreement to, as mod actions are always assumed to be done in good faith.

@Alex There is nothing I enjoy more than my mouth being on fire from spicy sauces. (Lungs on fire from spicy sauces when things go wrong and I inhale... That I'm not fond of.)

Released by Kadokawa Herald Pictures, the film is a loose sequel to the 1967 novel of the same name by Yasutaka Tsutsui and shares the basic premise of a young girl who gains the power of time travel, but with a different story and characters than the novel. Riisa Naka voices Makoto Konno, a teenager who inadvertently gains a mysterious power.

@fredley I'm apparently lucky I got any at all because I guess they've been tweeting the wrong time. They said they went on sale at 9am GMT, but they got mixed up between GMT and BST I guess, so they were already on sale for an hour before I woke.

Kevin van der Velden

@3ventic .com

FAE

@KevinvanderVelden weird

Kevin van der Velden

Via chrome searchbar

3ventic

Kevin van der Velden

Probably a tiny hickup in the servers I'm pointed at

Also can it just start raining already so I can find out if it's actually hay fever or if it's something else?

MY NOSE WON'T STOP ITCHING, and various other things but mostly OH GOD STOP THE ITCHING NOSE

@KevinvanderVelden 26 and sunny here :|

Barely noon. My apartment's going to get so hot today.

Kevin van der Velden

@FAE About the same here, it's expected to rain in the afternoon

FAE

@KevinvanderVelden Oh yay, here too. Problem is it'll be so warm in my apartment from the sun the whole day that it's almost impossible to get it to cool down again even when it rains. Ends up hotter in here than outside.

Kevin van der Velden

That's the default for my room, it's the corner of the house so I can see the sun from the moment it clears the trees to the moment it disappears on the other side ><

badp

@Kevin are you sure you know how to noise right? Noses don't usually cry

FAE

09:48

@KevinvanderVelden Oooh, that's rough. Our living room faces southish, so we get it for the hottest brunt of the day. And our living room is where both our PCs are, and all our consoles and stuff. When I game in the summer, I kind of set Jochem's legs on fire.

fredley

@FAE I missed it completely, at least an hour late

Luckily they're doing 2 dates in London

First had sold out, but got second

FAE

Oh wow. I saw people on twitter saying they were sold out in like 5 minutes, yeah.

Kevin van der Velden

@badp wat?

fredley

@FAE For London?

FAE

@fredley Yeah

fredley

09:50

@FAE It's weird, they're not advertising the 21st on commonplacebooks.com, but all the ticket vendors have it

maybe that's why they're still availble

badp

@fae sounds like you need to start hammock gaming!!

Just turn the TV to face the window

fredley

Looks like the new date was only added an hour ago

I must have got in soon!

FAE

@fredley Huh, odd.

@badp Oh man, I wish I could have a hammock.

Kevin van der Velden

Hammocks are awesome

I'll need to find a way to put my hammock in my new home

FAE

Also uuuuuuugh I just read that SCOTUS has already expanded the Hobby Lobby ruling. This is awful.

Kevin van der Velden

09:54

I could possibly just build a frame I suppose

Arperum

@FAE That's bad.

FAE

@Arperum SCOTUS has ordered appeals courts to consider broader claims

I feel sick

Kevin van der Velden

Welp: Time to go start a privately held company in america and start sacrificing people to summon Cthulhu, that's legal now right?

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Make sure the sacrifices are involved in this whole horrible thing.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum of course! Such piousness such as hobby lobby's owners would wake dread Cthulhu even faster

@KevinvanderVelden ... and rulings like these are the reason why you don't get your non-workplace related insurance (health or otherwise) through your company. WTF is wrong with you, USA?

Kevin van der Velden

@MartinSojka and rulings like these are why you don't give people damn near ultimate power over how laws are interpreted and them not give yourself a way to fire them

Q: Trying to remember a game from late 90s

I think the game came out in the late 90s. It was for Windows and was set in a futuristic time. You could drive around a city and fulfill missions. I think there one would set bombs and have ti fight "terrorists". It was a little like Command and Conquer, but without the building and production a...

@KevinvanderVelden The US ones can be impeached by the Senate. In general it's a rather good idea to have some kind of high court which can set the lawmakers straight when they are breaking the constitution though.

Those need to be hard to fire.

Kevin van der Velden

@MartinSojka that has not once in the existence of the US happened

It's also only for certain things:

The President, Vice President, and all civil Officers of the United States shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors."

Martin Sojka

Well, you wouldn't want the parliament members to be able to fire them for stuff like speeding ...

Or, hell, even drug possession. It's easy enough to frame someone for that if you're determined enough.

Kevin van der Velden

Hmm true, my main problem is that it doesn't happen, there was evidence for congress people being bribed a while back, and nothing happened

So it shouldn't be a case of If impeached => If evidence => removal, it should be If evidence => Investigation => removal

FAE

See: that whole the US is an oligarchy thing. :|

Kevin van der Velden

Yes

Honestly I think the single greatest amendment any constitution could have is one stating that every proposed law needs a description of intent, and then a review at a later date to see if the law is probably helping in fulfulling that intent

Half those damn christian bills would either be thrown out immediately because they can't state their intent in a secular way, or later when they would be shown to not actually work

FAE

@KevinvanderVelden Like this guy, the DuPont family heir who sexually assaulted his 3 year old daughter and won't get jailtime because the judge said "he wouldn't fare well" in prison. Or this guy, the SC Johnson family heir who only gets 4 months for sexually assaulting his 12 year old stepdaughter because he "leads a productive life".

Martin Sojka

You have money and/or fame, you can get away with murder. Literally.

@FAE uuugh, that's somehow worse than then the football team thing a while ago. That's rampant rapeculture, this is rampant rapeculture+oligarchy
