The fact you can't tell anyone to go f themselves online anymore without getting banned is absurd and sad

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

What? Yes you can. Observe:
Go fuck yourself, OP.
It's also not like getting banned for petty reasons is anything new. Forum ops, chat admins, moderators, etc all create and control the communities regardless of any corporate entities who own the website as a whole wanting to keep things PG for advertisers. Many of them do so because they themselves got kicked out of somewhere else. If you go into Big Jim's forum and post a bunch of hate about Big Jim, expect Big Jim to ban your ass.
What you are saying is that we are all children and we are governed best with children's rules.
I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with your initial premise there.
I said nothing of the sort. The first part is accurate; the petty mods who ban people just for disagreeing with them are children and play by children's rules. How you came to the conclusion that I am suggesting that is the best way to do things, though, is beyond me. I simply stated the reality.
ah, my mistake.
