Good Morning,

You know I have been watching this unfold and I still do not not have all the boxes ticked but I do see that holding people accountable for their actions to be a good thing.

My mind struggles to understand how this can be done without creating a safe space. If say I block users that are annoying and aggressive then in effect I am living in bubble world. ( Not where I want to be)

Keeping sub related content though to their actual subs is rather important but shitposters constantly toe-the-line on this, under the banner of muh-free-speech!

I think you are trying to bring order to chaos by instilling an attitude of; keep your crap in your own room, I am tired of it spilling over into mine.

I can appreciate this as this is common decency and would be expected IRL.

I may be wrong on my thoughts here but it sounds sensible enough.

The fear is the powermod syndrome that will kick in and we will have gods running around abusing their power. If you run a subverse, then banning or deleting someone for comments, associations or posts elsewhere is clearly in my mind, overstepping the line.

SBBH as a shitposting sub does do this on the regular for the lulz and perhaps this too should be clearly understood in their subverse overview guidelines.

Anyhow, for some reason I felt like speaking to you about this and sharing some thoughts. I guess I am trying to understand your motive as I have always seen you as rather sensible, level headed type person.

Thank you! So do I. I think it's important for a healthy society to have certain behaviours that are acceptable, and penalties for taking part in unacceptable behaviour.

It is a difficult conundrum.

I believe that is a combination of an organizational issue (not a speech one) and a Freedom of Association issue.

You are very right. That is one huge facet of what I'm doing here.

An armed society is a polite society.

Why, thank you. I, too, may be wrong; I do not think I am, though.

And that is what kept me in my absurd reverie of PV for so long. Those that do not deserve power always seek it.

If you run a subverse, then banning or deleting someone for comments, associations or posts elsewhere is clearly in my mind, overstepping the line.

I wonder if such things can be held as leverage to encourage good behaviour of those within subverses like SBBH. If many mods of many subverses demanded they keep their lies and inconsistencies in their own subverse, but carried a consistent character outside of that, I do believe a lot of our problems would not happen.

Part of the issue right now is the seeming license of any shitposter to say or do whatever without consequence anywhere on this website. Maybe useful, maybe not. Usernames with lots of time and effort put into them are going to feel pain when they cannot participate.

Food for thought.

It would be nice.

I appreciate that. Did I answer your questions to your satisfaction?

I am smiling and thinking more about your satisfactory reply there... lol. :)

There is definitely food for thought as many who seek freedom do not realize that self restraint, discipline and accountability are often the path to enjoying such things.

No one appreciates nigger culture crapping up the place and a good sense of tidy mindedness goes a long way.

Can you remember the good ol’ fashioned word Prudence? I do not think many even recognize this virtue these days, shocking times we live in.

I will speak to you again so far it has been pleasant and appreciated. Have a good evening!

I'll say that I have seen the word in books, and never used either in meatspace or digitally by anyone not using it as a proper noun for someone.

The pleasure was all mine. I look forward to our next correspondence.
