Ban evasion is a pretty standard reason for getting banned across just about all social networks/forums. What makes that "ban evasion" though? Specifically I mean. Who is evading what in the case of separate subreddits bein

So, then posts like yours should be made illegal? Seems you are hating on America pretty hard. We can't have that now, can we?

The motivation for deleting r/fatpeoplehate was because the admins asserted there were clear and identifiable patterns and instances of person-to-person harassment. Honestly, I think that's just the excuse they used to pull the

How you prevent the situation where wealthy/powerful men begin to monopolize the pool of available women? What happens to the men that now have a harder time finding long term relationships? To me, it seems it would accelerate the weal

Opposition to polygamy can have some logical reasoning behind it though. Unlike something like gay marriage.

But censorship isn't limited to governments.

Reddit's userbase seems to feel especially threatened by Ellen Pao, and it's hard for me to believe that the difference is anything rational. Well, she has basically said that she wants to start cleaning up the "objectionab

Yeah, as bad as /r/all has been (though, I have to admit, I've been amused by the drama), my frontpage looks the same as any other day.

by Goronmon 11y ago
Isn't it both? I don't see how moderation (in the form of removing/editing content) isn't censorship.

(And if anyone has any doubts that this is ultimately about harassment, count how many of the posts on the front page (and their comments) are made up of personal attacks and/or obscenities targeted at CEO Ellen Pao.) I think people

Ask anyone about their favorite games who are passionate about them and i can bet they will list games that didn't had 3D graphics... Probably because they grew up in games before 3D and our first forays into gaming are generally mor

Like I said, I don't want to play politics. It's more like you are trading short term gains (I just want my games to work) for long term losses (Putting Nvidia in a position to continue it's anti-competitive practice, poten

You may not agree with the principle (I certainly don't), but calling it theft is no different from a libertarian doing the same with taxation. I would say that calling civil forfeiture as theft makes more sense then comparing civil

And it may well be the case that you don't have the luxury to make this choice. Which, unfortunately, is usually the case when it comes to game development.

I feel like if a trucking company can afford an autonomous truck, it can afford a handful of half decent cameras to record as it drives.

At the risk of sounding trite, so? Is any of what you just said a problem we should be worried about or a sign of something bad?

Did they invent something no one else can do? Why would insurance companies not just scrap the middle man and build their own thing? I once worked for a company that built smaller products for insurance companies. No really big ones, but

In Win7 I start all programs by clicks Start, typing a few letters, and clicking Enter. That sometimes works in Win8, but often you type the name of a program and the auto-complete suggestions are just complete utter Rubbish?! I lot of th

Being able to keep your keys in your pocket/purse/etc when entering and driving a car I find to be a pretty big upside. Especially in areas where it can be cold enough to freeze the key mechanism on your car door.

I agree, but that leads me as a backer to try to validate the ability of creators to finish. Hasn't this been pretty clear from day one? Kickstarter may not be perfect, but I feel like the one thing they've been pretty consisten

Anti-trust law is about market realities. Such as the fact that you can easily use something other than Chrome and Google search on any of devices? I mean, the position is starting to sound like "anti-trust" really means "T
