Telling people "KYS" - not a ban?

Chicagoover 8 years ago

Since when is telling people to kill themselves not an instant ban. I remember when i was a mod, if somebody told someone else to kill themselves and it wasn't a joke (not that it's a good thing to even joke about) it was an instant ban. Pretty sure Lucid made that clear to us when we were mods. Now when i reported somebody for it, they just get a warning? When did this change?

If it did change, it needs to be changed back to an instant ban. 1st: 24hrs 2nd: month. 3rd: site

the original concern of this thread has been addressed by nathan:

Kys is not an auto vio. Imo definitely not a nice thing to say casual or not but out of frustration sometimes things slip out. I've always instructed my mods to take into account context and vio it under harassment if asked to stop or excessive to a point where we'd consider it bullying and will remind them of this.
and this thread has been derailed so hard that there's really no purpose in it anymore. feel free to go talk in morgan's very intriguing thread!

on a scale of 1-10 how bothered are you that several mods have come into this thread and mocked you
not at all. Again, I don't know why you keep screaming OMG MODS OMG MODS like we're on a different level from regular users.

People are just people. The opinions of other mods matter to me just as much as the rest of the playerbase.

Yeah I'm not gonna bother saying anything else cuz it seems like the snowflake mob's come in to root me out for the deviant tyrant i am.

At the end of the day, people won't care about the main focus of your message I guess. They'll just hone in on what you could've phrased better and jerk themselves off while screaming "OMG HOW COULD U SAY THAT UR SUCH A TERRIBLE PERSON" to feel better about their sad lives.
lmao i cant believe youre a mod

Homicide is for the most part, committed by strong, underprivileged, supergeniuses

I didn't say your problems don't matter. I said at least you can cure your depression if you just identified the root of the problem and looked for ways to fix it. Just by living in Canada, you will never be locked into a disfavourable position for the rest of your life, as long as you're constantly working to get yourself out.

A frame of reference is important when considering why you might be depressed. To quote one of my favourite songs, it's a fundamental mistake to search for happiness; Happiness is something you are, and it comes from within.
it turns out that all you need to cure mental illness is to "identify the root of the problem"

=O

Mental illness should not be viewed any differently than physical illness

You wouldn't tell someone suffering from ALS that they're weak for being in pain so you shouldn't tell someone who is depressed they're weak for wanting to die

You’re essentially blaming victims of mental illness. You believe that because these people give in to their demons, they’re “idiots”. You’re fuçking gross if you truly believe that Reggiez. You are the privileged one in this situation if you think you can condemn and put down people whose lives are destroyed and ruined through no fault of their own but rather an illness that ate away at them.

Suicide is a horrible act and should be viewed as horrible and wrong but I don't think there's anything to be said about the person in trouble
