i disagree. it was a bad move down a slippery slope. censorship is censorship.

you have had a justice boner for aged for months. last time you did this shit, putt said it was allowed even if he didn't like it. then you had a nervous breakdown. now it seems that it just takes is putt agreeing that he doesn't like content to get a user banned from a system sub. i think that's a huge step backwards. definitely not in line with the spirit of the site. not unless we are no longer about free speech.

honestly, this whole thing was badly handled.

There's a massive difference between banning someone who spams legally grey sexual content in a subverse where it doesn't really belong, and taking the /r/games approach of auto-removing any comment that contains a long list of key words like "trump", "obama", "spunkgargleweewee", "liberal", "rape", etc, or which automatically removes any comment that is shorter than an arbitrary word length.

the reddit approach... fuck off.

The reddit approach is what I've described /r/games doing, and believe it or not they're far from the most heavily moderated subreddit.

i don't care. a list of naughty words is a stupid idea.

And that's exactly what I don't want /v/gaming to become.

it is actively being pushed here right now. suddenly, there's some extra rule that if i annoy putt in some fashion that also annoys some of the more vocal user base, i get banned for being a 'noid'. at least that's what it looks like here.

And you know what, Putt is still acting better than most Reddit power mods, who will just lock the thread and mute you for 72 hours with no reply.
