there are no rules in kintsugi

fuck waiting to feel better, not like anyone else did or like that will ever happen regardless

@seebs

etc

tl;dr call it a rule and state that plainly or stop trying to enforce it like one, god damn

you wonder why people think you put off those untrustworthy authority figure vibes, this is why

 

This does, in fact, fit under the one rule that's in the login agreement, IMO.

 

is this a fact or is it YO? pick one

IMO it does not, "don't treat other users like trash" does not in any way shape or form easily translate to "content warnings are mandatory", and if you expect people to arrive at that conclusion themselves i'm sorry but at the very least one person has failed that check and it sure as fuck wasnt my fault

we need more specific guidelines if this is how we're going to treat people who step over the mirage we have currently

 

I feel like OP is being asked to do, or allow, a thing as an accommodation for other users. On the face of it, that doesn't seem unreasonable. To say that it is an outgrowth of the One Rule pings me as legit, but I can see how there could be reasonable argumentation on that topic.

But putting that aside,

1. A request has been made for the accommodation of other users to avoid triggering them,
and a willingness was expressed to do the thing without OP's involvement

2. An explanation was offered as to why this request was being made/why action is being taken, because respecting other users is explicitly part of the One Rule

3. OP thinks they shouldn't have to do the thing bc it hasn't been called out as a specific example of the One Rule in practice?

Sorry, but I gotta disagree. I'd be interested in hearing where my reasoning fails, which is why I numbered the above.

 

"hey could you maybe do this one thing that would help a bunch of people feel better?"

"STOP OPPRESSING ME YOU FASCIST"

 

my god @Xitaqa did you even check out the original thread this happened in

 

i know youre upset about other shit so i'll let this slide but for real this is a complete strawman and helps absolutely no one

 

this thread is going to turn into a garbage fire within a page, why even start with the pretext of a rational discussion?

 

well, if people keep commenting things like that out of the blue it might

i'm just going to keep on saying thats not really appreciated

 

i thought you were gonna give me a fight. bored now.

 

i'm not here to fight

i'm here to be suicidal and to point out this massive error in the current system that i stumbled upon completely by accident

 

question for you, @seebs

would there ever be any case in which someone could post heavily triggering subject matter in a public thread and be allowed to refuse to cw it and to refuse ~help (or whatever else word you wont nitpick at) from mods?

 

So. I'll "argue" with you ("You" being seebs).

The claim there are "no rules" is not true in a couple of senses.

First, there is a "no spam" rule. If you believe an account is a spam bot, you will not approve the registration. This is such a basic thing that you don't even think of it as a "rule". It is just something you do.

Second, you have a specific definition of "rule" that is not shared by everybody. Your definition appears to be something like a causation atom: "If user does X, then Staff does Y to the user" with no discretion or recourse. But I don't think everyone shares that definition. Some people view social norms as rules. Some people view any restrictions whether imposed by the software or not as rules. Some people will find that any sort of principle for exercising discretion is a rule. So your claim there are "no rules" is true only to the extent other people share your definition of what a rule is.

 

as you kindly offered me some perspective earlier, I'd like to do the same now

I'm sure you're aware of the spoons metaphor, my refusal to spoiler anything had nothing to do with wanting to swing at anyone or be stubborn for stubbornness' sake (at that point in time), I just wanted to get my feelings out and move on because I had about half a spoon left

honestly I hadn't even considered content warning for anything when I posted because I never had a reason to think I should

if I had known content warning in general purpose vent threads was necessary, I wouldn't have posted at all because the extra steps wouldn't have been worth it

it was when my things were touched without permission that I dug my heels in because not only was it shit timing for me to have to deal with but this expectation was entirely new information and I am not a mind reader and I am terrified of all the other things I must have missed that seem so obvious to everyone else that will land me in post moderation hell over a mistake so I will sit here and debate with you until there are clearer guidelines because again

why yes I'm reaching very dangerously deep in my pockets for bits of silver still left in them to continue this but I don't really care about my health at this point and the ride never ends. yeehaw

this may not be an accurate read but it seems like you're dodging what I'm asking you pretty hard

you're offering situations I never asked about to answer a question about an entirely different one so you can .... avoid agreeing with an absolute because that's your nature? whatever is happening here, I don't like it

rules can be flexible, you know. they can depend on context

you're telling me you have a general expectation that people cw their posts when appropriate and will moderate to reflect that expectation regardless of any OP's feelings on the matter

just fucking write it down somewhere in plainspeak for us autists so we dont get trapped by things that are mostly unspoken

 

allow me to correct you on what actually happened

>i make the post
>you come along with a "please" and my own feelings as an afterthought
>i say no, because i'm under the impression it's optional and i want to be left alone
>seebs edits my post without a word
>kirbysfuckingpissed.jpg
>you should be able to follow along on your own now i think
