Do you prefer a polite request with an implicit punishment-threat or an outright demand with an explicit punishment-threat? Also, why?

Jump

  • No, it's "please give me your candy" (with the implied threat). Vs "give me your candy or I'll smash".

    (Also, I reworded the post because you people are so literal and easily distracted.)

  • Replace death with any heavy executive-issued penalty. The point here is the polite-implicit vs the impolite-explicit. (Ok i reworded it)

    • How can I help get my friend clean from DRUGS?

  • Just say no to rugs.

    • What TV shows are you watching and would recommend?

    • Are the owners of platforms responsible for intellectual property violations if user-created content distribution is decentralized?

    Jump

  • You should say, "please reword to be an open ended question or I'm destroying your post". Don't make merely implicit threats. It's spineless and our respect for you diminishes.

    Lose the "please" too. It's meaningless.

    Most of us don't know that you are the moderator or that your polite requests are actually demands backed by executive threat. Best to make it clear.

    • what unbiased media sources do you use?

  • Firsthand experience is beyond words and super deep.

    Convert to words. Consume words. Map words to your own experience.

    It's basically anime at that point.

    • people woho regularly go to fast food chains like Burger king - why?

    Jump

  • Every time I eat a mcD cheeseburger I get a tummy ache. That shit is concrete.

    • Moderators banning/censoring people arent oppressors violating your rights; they are customer service representatives curating a space for their intended customers. All this to say, I see you Karen.

  • Do you think it's a conscious plan to mindcontrol everybody or is it just a basement dweller treating his mod powers like the ultimate downvote?

  • But you uttered an opinion about moderation. So address my point.

  • Most? Well not my conversations.

    Maybe it's a smalltalk vs "largetalk" thing. Maybe most conversations are smalltalk. Talk that's just friendly noise or whatever.

    That is a territory with which I am pretty unfamiliar.

    But ya, 2 totally different kinds of talk.

    Maybe trolling constitutes a 3rd variety.

  • Well there is no clean connection between the rule and reality (short of forbidden word lists anyway). It's always a matter of somebody's interpretation.

    Some communities have rules like "don't be a dick", which seems implied.

    Maybe rules are inappropriate here. At best a justification.

  • What if they got off topic. What would happen?

    Also, do you think that you understand their conversation better than they do? All of them?

  • But it's a very good guideline for people who, like moderators, have power and imperfect understanding. It's saying, "when in doubt, err on the side of least possible harm". So that's a good guide. Right?

  • So you want to shape us.

    How about just letting us talk?

    What do you do when that happens? What guides do you look to?

  • If you trust this person to tell you, and everybody else here, how to speak, then either your speech is worthless to you or this conversation is worthless to you.
