Hail to the king baby

Thread-banned. He got thread-banned.
If that’s all it takes to get a thread ban then the site really doesn’t have much appeal to me. It’s a gross overstep and it’s killing fun. One of my biggest issues with SB is that you’d get points for making jokes. You couldn’t be funny for fear of getting booted, for not taking a topic seriously, for being offensive, and if that’s all it takes to get thread booted then screw that.

Ironically, we made that rule to protect people from being falsely accused of being Nazis by leftists, but as a matter of principle, we apply all rules equally to all people. We hit Sane for referring unironically to LI as a Nazi. That's why it warranted a thread ban.
Is it so hard to expect people to actually follow the bloody rules? Is that too big of an ask? Is it too much for grown adults to respect the fact that this space has had civility rules from day one? Really? Is that too much for you?
Viennese coffee house! Not Venetian. Vienna is the happening place that has fostered the viewpoints of everyone back in the day.

A century ago, a single square mile in the capital of the then Austro-Hungarian Empire was home to some of the most remarkable men of the 20th Century.

Yep. Because your idea of what civility is is a Venetian coffee shop where you can’t make a basic and simple joke poking fun at someone harmlessly.
If it ain’t America it doesn’t matter. Venetia, Viennese, it’s all the same. Trash.Viennese coffee house! Not Venetian. Vienna is the happening place that has fostered the viewpoints of everyone back in the day.

You may notice that you haven't been hit, which tends to imply that your sense of humour, even if crude, is actually perfectly within the rules (because it in fact is).
EVERYONE CALM DOWN!!!
I leave for work one day and I return to this?!!! Everyone stop fear mongering you are acting like God himself has paid us a visit!

You may feel that's the case, but from my perspective, it's not. We have huge numbers of complaints about Sane, and very few if any about you. Complaints are initiated by users, not the staff.
No, it's because you haven't violated the rules. That's it, full stop. Keep on not violating the rules and guess what, you won't be hit for violating the rules. See how this works?

So the classic "shoot the current audience in the foot to try to pander to a potential new audience" strategy that's killed countless properties over the past few years? When did "Bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" stop becoming common sense?
Okay my turn to explain my feeling's on the issue but while I write it up I ask everyone this question "If you disagree with the staff how should this be handled?" debate that while I write rather than act like their some elaborate plot for five minute's...

And just like that it begins.
The center cannot hold, the falcon cannot hear the falconeer.
This thread may have been meant to "be clear and smooth thongs over" but it has done the exact opposite and instead shown a slide into the same problems killing the other websites. I leave here my simple opinion on the matter of this sort of idea from ST:TNG which was delivered to us by Piccard (whose actor apparently did not fully grasp it's meaning fully as we can see today)
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured...the first thought forbidden...the first freedom denied – chains us all, irrevocably."
The first link is now here, and we all know it will never go away.

The admin staff is free to have their own reasons to agree with things. Spartan was explaining his own personal reason for supporting this course of action. As for myself, I do not mind how badly outnumbered I am--Aristasians don't live, as a matter of principle, for numbers, and don't make compromises with the Pit and bongos for the sake of recruiting--but rather because I felt I had genuinely sinned by not promoting a more harmonious environment on this board. I actually want us all to be friends... As silly as that may sound to you. We are very much alone in a hostile world, and we need to stay together--including the leftists who remain brave enough to support free speech in an era when even free speech is under assault. To me, that includes being civil to each other.

"BEEP!"
I seriously think what needs to happen is that, much like how the right needs to define itself. Sietch needs to define itself. Why is it here and what is it's purpose. We can keep spouting civility all we want but the fact is everybody has bones to pick with different people.
