After three shots with no discernible health benefit, how can people keep getting more? I'm baffled when I see people make posts like this. These are the goons who will say "my body my choice" but seem to have no insight whatsoever into their own personal health decisions.
This is more chilling to me than all the left wing extremism. A decent mod would just say "Sure, bye." This reminds me of East Germany.
They could have gotten away with asking if the poster was sure, that at least is normalish mod behaviour. Responding to someone else's post fishing for why they came to feel that way with "don't ask questions in these threads unless you're an authority figure" as you say is 100% the behaviour of the sort of governance that has every poster's social credit score noted.
If you want a mod to insta-ban you then you need to invoke one of the Power Words.
Staff can and will edit/wipe your posts to prevent wrongthink.
Go easy on them, mods! They learned it from watching Moviebob!
I think they have thought about it and they've chosen wrong every time. If you time traveled back to 2006-era rpg.net it wouldn't be too different from the games subforum here on the farms-angry liberals ranting about Bush warcrimes excepted. Banter and joking was still allowed and mentioning slavery or orc genocide would generate discussion instead of a round of bans.
To be fair they've at least sort of recognized that they have a problem and that sitting around gloating about demographic shifts and disdaining less densely populated areas isn't a safe strategy. They've also sort of recognized that having some carrots to offer would be a good idea if they want to get more people on their side. That's more insight than some people would have.
