SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The Infractions forum would be a goldmine for a psychology student looking to do a PhD thesis on the exercise of authority in social media. I expect it would be easy for anyone trained in the field to identify the various pathologies of  the moderators.
Even more interesting would be to compare the "Infractions" of today with was considered an "infraction" ten years ago (that forum goes back to 2012). Mapping a descent into insanity could be, very ironically, quite Lovecraftian...

That could make for an interesting modern day COC scenario.

People being ritually 'canceled' for past social media discretions in order to summon some GOO, because some people slowly descended into madness...maybe 'overworked' forum mods as the cultists...

I may have to think about that one for a bit

Thanks

Too realistic for my tastes.  I like my games more fantastically hopeful.

You could start the game with the discovery that a current moderator was banned for something he posted, as a user, ten years ago...

So TBP is handing out fake permabans for 'bein' too awesome' today (April Fool's).

I guess it would be more amusing if they didn't have the hair trigger habit of tossing bans for stupid reasons.

EDIT: I wandered over to Trouble Tickets and saw this:
https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/welcome-your-new-moderator.879444/

For fuck's sake... do they ever get tired of licking prog ass?

They should have went with "After careful consideration backstage, we've decided to shutdown Tangency" for 4/1. Most of them would have fallen for it.

I thought the "Bein' too awesome" bans were for newbie moderators to practice handing out infractions.

Don't forget that they handed out a ban for "disrespecting Chicken McNuggets" - an April's Fool literally everywhere else but a serious thing there.

What it all boils down to is that those are too lazy to refute things, so they just censor it. They don't have anything with freedom. Instead of debunking another opinion which might be incorrect, they rather rubber stamp it as unsavory. Enabling racism, normalizing hatred etc. I rather be the judge of that myself. It's not freedom of speech, but freedom of listening
May I say that? Yes, I may say that!

They'd need trigger warnings, and they'd have to put all the furries on suicide watch.

I agitated long and hard for that back in the day whenI was a member.  I still think it might have saved the site.
