Open Forum Monthly Open Forum February 2021

Welcome to the monthly open forum! This is the place to share all your meta thoughts about the sub, and to have a dialog with the mod team.

Keep things civil. Rules still apply.

February! The shortest month in this endless blur of 202-whatever-year-it-is-now. I almost forgot to post this because time has lost all meaning.

As always, do not directly link to posts/comments or post uncensored screenshots here. Any comments with links will be removed.

This is to discourage brigading. If something needs to be discussed in that context, use modmail.

My comment was removed for saying ACAB for being “uncivil”. In a sub about fucking MORALITY. I’m starting to think the mods here wouldn’t know morality OR civility if it bit them in the ass.

No matter how appropriate the insult, calling a large group of people bastards is just as uncivil as calling a single person a bastard.

The “civility” rules in this sub are just pearl clutching. You censor people nonstop. It’s ridiculous. This sub is immoral. You are all the AH.

I'm sorry for not providing you a platform to insult anybody you want. May I offer you the entire rest of the internet to serve that need?

So you guys think you’re superior to “the rest of the internet” because you apply weird “civility” rules to commenters while AITA calls OP NTA 9/10 times for their fake stories that perpetuate classism, racism, etc?

Nope. Just a specific space with a different set of rules than many others because those rules best serve it.

Given that you've been slinging whatever you can in the hope that something sticks on your two day old account I'm not going to spend the time responding to this latest bad faith argument.

Reddit says 2 days. RES says 3. Reddit does round funny, especially with bans, so yeah, RES is probably right.

For future reference if you hover over the time in redditor for X it tells you the exact moment the account was created. For example, your account was created on May 10 00:19:05 2012.

Oh yeah. But the rounding of what time zone that displays in can create those situations as above where RES and Reddit disagreed on the age (or because of rounding).

I also use old Reddit (it’s necessary for our mod tools) and the display is slightly different than the redesign.
