How about we do some reality cultivation. Make the modbot alter forum posts so that if Ganelon reads a post it says lynched, but if I read the same post it reads yeeted.
This post bothered me so much I'm logging on at my workstation to complain about it.
If you are a member of the staff team, your public image very much does indeed matter. As a staff member, and especially a member of the FM team, you are a pillar of the community, whether you like that or not.
It's my personal belief that authority comes hand in hand with responsibility and accountability, if you have authority then you should be more of a role-model to everyone in your community, that's the price of authority. You shouldn't actively be "kind of a cunt" and you should actively be trying to correct that. Because I don't want this community to be represented by people that are kinda cunts, it doesn't exactly incentive people to join and stay.
This goes hand in hand with what I said. You are a member of the FM staff team, and you represent FM on this site as a whole because of that. Suggesting that any group of people should piss off is a hazardous statement to make. And quite frankly, if you were under my management, you would be reprimanded and potentially kicked off the team for that.
How do you know with absolute certainty you're right in any context? you are not all knowing, nor are you infallible, just like the rest of us. The whole point of discourse is to generate intelligent ideas and potentially change opinions regarding matters so that they're mutually beneficial to both parties involved.
Automatically assuming you're right in an argument takes away from the point of it, which isn't to "win" but to convince the other of a more beneficial stance to take.
the group of people who want to change lynch are EXACTLY the same group of people who are toxic and manipulative in FM games. thats why I want them gone.
i dont know that I am right. however, being honest is extremely important. if you’re honest you cannot be slandered; you cannot be treated unjustly, and you can defend your views because you know that you believe is true (for you, at least)
i'd personally not want to do the inventory of going through our emotes and being the judge of what is racial and what is not.
also, those emotes are different because they're not auto generated, and i don't think they're used very much.
i actually don't know how to use the emotes, but you can just call me a boomer.

I don't see this topic moving anywhere constructive or being inline with this subforum's rules by the way.
This is more of a staff topic in regards to what changes are made.

Other sites are very lenient on toxicity (compared to them, we really aren’t; were only lenient on personal insults, which are related but separate). You know what? Those sites that are very inclusive and shit and make an effort for inclusivity (typically by banning words such as retarded etc), are also typically the ones that DONT police toxicity.

Words are hard
well frinckles, feel free to gather up a list of flavor/emojis you want changed, and the community can talk about what they want removed.
i'm very vested in this particular issue because i have personal experience with this very word and the inclusivity gains/costs it has.

you’re right I should try to be less offensive, deathworlds. my mistake. but it bothers me when people do things I find completely despicable.
also, speaking over the being a cunt comment, I am offensive, yes, but you know what? being offensive is fine as long as you don’t take it to personal levels (which I haven’t) and as long as you’re upfront about it. people want a staff member who is reliable, not one who is nice.

My point is where it stops and why people are suddenly now having revelations to change things; And most importantly what changes say about ourselves and our intentions.

Not ONCE on this entire thread did I personally attack someone - and yet I’m the one being called offensive. I’ve been attacked multiple times however and you don’t see me yelling about it. I DO mind, make no mistake, but not enough to mention it. I’m only mentioning it now because I’m getting called out for saying I’m kind of a cunt, whereas others who’ve personally belittled me and insulted me aren’t. This is what’s known as a double standard.
Have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Jar Jar the wise?
we're having a discussion about it, here in this thread. that's what's causing this revelation to change things. and for me personally, having the chance to reflect on these things in this thread has made me think about the issue. if mag hadn't made this post, i wouldn't have had that chance to reflect on it.
i don't know that i'd be so keen to keep going down this path, only because this is exhaustive. like if we were really going through the graphics of the arcade mafia, mothership seems comical, but gassing seems particularly gruesome. even blizzard stepped in when "jew" was a word that triggered the gas execution.
