And what's your point? You'd prefer the site take the more active role required to moderate based on content – which ostensibly includes opinions, and not just objective facts – rather than enforcing general civility?
- whiteopinions 7y ago>You'd prefer the site take the more active role required to moderate based on content No, the point was that bad content continually and consistently gets through moderation and community enforcement BECAUSE of the value of tone over content and sometimes this content is extremely hostile. It absolutely has nothing to do with civility. Civility and "tone" are not intertwined. You can be completely uncivil without an aggressive or strident tone. Moderation sets precedent. Moderator action typically only comes about when the community is offended in some way. Flagged posts never get corrected or vouched for despite the effort put into them if they go against a particular tone in the conversation or ideological perspective. Some of these were even presented in the article as examples. >rather than enforcing general civility? This forum isn't civil. It's distilled.
