![]() ![]() ![]() Someone saying "I fucking hate Munchkin and you're a bitch for liking it" conveys a very different message than "I personally dislike Munchkin, I think you should play x, y, and z games instead, but I respect you for your tastes nonetheless." Sure, the latter may put OP more at ease and provide useful suggestions, but it doesn't reflect how much the poster truly dislikes the game. So long as people aren't throwing around personal information, it's useful to see how people truly feel about games. boardgames/ is doing just fine.Īnd as I said elsewhere in this thread, there is value in angry, disrespectful, insulting speech. And second, it's not a serious enough problem for us to start marching around carrying signs. First, that's not going to change anything. It bothers me that people are blowing certain "incidents" out of proportion, posting cautionary threads about how we need to be nice to one another. Sure you have assholes-and every subreddit naturaly does-but the average /boardgames/-goer is decent and respectful. But I also accept that some don't and some won't.Īnd at the moment, the subreddit is still thriving. I actually agree with you and I think people should say nice things, be considerate, etc. I don't think we have that kind of problem here on Reddit, but it's the only thing I imagine is worth censoring. For instance, someone who floods a thread with hundreds of posts to the point in which it makes it difficult to read the rest of the comments. That being said, there are a few exceptions. We should not tolerate that kind of censorship. I am just against the notion of moderators editing or deleting angry, obnoxious, mean-spirited posts. ![]() And people are free to tell you to screw off. You are free to berate people for using harsh language and argue that we be polite. Granted, I have no problem with people self-moderating. But asking someone to mask their true feelings with politeness is dishonest and hampers self-expression. If someone feels so strongly about a game that it makes them want to cuss or personally insult others for holding a different opinion, then I damn well want to hear it! Politeness is good if genuine. Stating your true opinion, however incendiary, always contributes to the thread.
