Whatever dude, don't post slurs and the big scary chat filter won't get you.
I'm judging you because of what you say, and what you're saying tells me you're full of shit. "Trolling". Yeah, keep telling yourself that...
You're literally in a several-day argument about the viability of chat filters, dude. If you didn't have a problem with them, you wouldn't be here. Stop blaming others for your shitty attitude and act like a decent human being online and you won't have the problems you're having.
Then selectively choose to not be an asshole with moderators and you might find them less pissed off with you when you interact them. Instead of, you know, blaming your shit on the automod and pretending it's everyone else with the problem.
Have you tried not being an asshole? Tend to work.
If it didn't affect you because you don't choose those types of usernames you wouldn't be so hellbent on removing a basic filter designed to prevent people from choosing those types of usernames. The fact that you're so opposed to them isn't necessarily PROOF that you're full of shit, but it's a pretty good indicator.
Like, Jesus Christ dude; take your head out of your ass, grow up, and stop acting like you're the only person on the internet who matters.
I'm being a "shithead" because I'm pissed off as assholes like you who try to justify breaking or getting rid of rules because you can't be assed enough to be a decent person online. Have you ever considered the remote possibility that if every mod you meet acts like a "shithead" to you, YOU might be the problem?
If their comments repeatedly get flagged it indicates they're trying to troll, genius. We ban them based off the deleted comments and people don't have to suffer their toxicity beforehand. Christ man, automated moderation is a necessity in a large-enough community, we're not omniscient and we're not paying attention to everything all the time. I don't understand why you're hellbent on making everything manual just for some hypothetical scenario that we can easily whitelist anyway.
Let me guess, you got banned for being a bigoted douchenozzle and decided to blame the chat filter rather than acknowledge that no one wants to tolerate your crap?
I repeat: that's NOT how things work, that's NEVER been how they've worked, and it never WILL be how it works. There are literal scientific studies on this: banning hate speech reduces hate in a community, it doesn't make it "fester" or "become hidden". The filter's job is to set a baseline level of discussion, if you can't act mature enough to reach that level, that's your problem.
Yes, I have a problem, and the solution is chat filters. Fuck off back to your toxic hellhole, we don't want you in our community.
Fuck toxicity, filters exist for a reason.
You're forcing massive amounts of effort onto mods like me for very little payoff with a massive risk in the form of toxic users who can't be moderated easily, or at all in some cases. You understand why that might piss people off, right?
You literally said people should be able to put whatever they want in their usernames because if they don't they'll "bottle it up" and it'll "be worse". I'm telling you straight up as a moderator of multiple communities who's been on the internet for years, it doesn't work that way, it never has worked that way, and it never will work that way.
No, wait, scratch that, I re-read your comment and it suggests to me that you've never been in a community AT ALL. Christ, man, that's not how anything works; toxicity doesn't just "leave people's systems" or however the fuck you think, it's not a fluid and people aren't containers. A community that's open to toxicity makes people MORE toxic, not less. Quit jumping through hoops to justify assholes and start acting like a decent human being.
...you've never actually had to moderate a group of more than 5 people, have you?
Seriously, we're not here to coddle bigots and assholes just because you can't find a way to talk on the internet without screaming obscenities.
No, it's a problem: having people with slurs in their name—or worse, spamming slurs and toxicity because there's no filter—when you're trying to moderate a community is a problem and I'm sick of people (mostly the people looking for excuses to post slurs) trying to insist "it's just a wittle bigotry uwu 🥺". Almost community has rules regarding what you can post and the ones that don't are typically uninviting cesspools (see: 4chan). Unless you WANT your communities to resemble 4chan?
That's a...nice...thought. That is, until your community is flooded with a thousand people calling themselves "gayassf*g" either because they're legit homophobic or they're 12 and think it's funny. Filters are typically in place for a reason and we know exactly what happens when they're removed or unimplemented. It's...not pleasant, in fact it's downright toxic and horrible for everyone in the community in question.
139.4 ft (42.5 m) tall, 1,856.9 ft (566 m) long, with a top speed of 62.2 mph (100.1 km/h) and a max descent angle of 87°. It's about a 1 minute 40 second runtime.
Rumble strips are designed to alert tired or unalert drivers that they're too close to the edge of the road by making a noise when you drive over them, thus reducing accidents. The ones you're thinking of are called tactile tiles and are intended to assist pedestrians who are vision-impaired, which is why they're often in place near crosswalks in a lot of cities around the world, using various designs.
I have nightmares of this exact situation.
I don't know what movie you were watching but I don't think it was Moana.
I got it from this, which describes a general seizure: https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/seizures-and-epilepsy-in-cats but either way I'd seriously doubt the cat is having a seizure.
(This cat isn't having a seizure, in case anyone was curious. Seizures in cats appear as jerking movements, rigid limbs, loss of urinary and bowel control, and usually the head bent back along the spine. In other words, it looks like a seizure.)
Seriously, people in the comments always insist an animal making a weird face or noise is dying or abused, even when it's something clearly benign. Sometimes I half-wonder if anyone on this website has ever actually owned a pet or if everyone is just pretending for some reason.
Vertically, for starters. Definitely not clockwise with a bunch of criss-crossing references that are difficult to track because they constantly overlap. I also shared this with some friends who were huge Discworld fans and even they agreed that, on top of the chart being crap, the best way to read Discworld is probably publishing order, so you're not stuck wondering why random characters appear like you would if you read the Industrial Revolution stories before the Watch stories, for example.
That is honestly the most garbage way of organizing a reading chart I've ever seen.
