You may have observed typical culprits as being privileged males, but that doesn't mean it is so in other contexts.
I do agree that moderation here is often out-of-line and I have perhaps seen (here and elsewhere) what could be termed "tone policing", which I agree is completely incompatible with the "principle of charity".
One problem I just discovered here is that you apparently cannot upmod 'flagged'/'dead' comments. So, an especially violent, and quick group can brigade posts completely out of the community discussion, with basically no hope of return except through an out-of-band appeal.
- tptacek 10y agoAlso false. Search the site for posts about the "vouch" button.
- jsprogrammer 10y agoAlso? I have no idea what you are referring to. I had never seen a vouch button before. Does it only appear when you have invoked "showdead"? I'd guess most have never invoked it. -- It appears I am still correct. Vouch will only appear after being censored and can only be reinstated by others invoking an obscure option. I also cannot upmod a dead post (at least, not from /newest).
