Why is the "Imgs of chats on ee/forums" topic exempt from the rules?

N1KF · 2016-04-11 02:17:15

This topic has plenty of rule-breaking, including swearing, questionable references, and animated explicit content (not joking here). When Processor reminded people that even stuff in spoilers are against the rules, Different55, for some reason, decided to allow exceptions for that one topic. Why is it that rule-breaking is allowed in spoilers in that topic, but not other topics? The rules exist for a reason, and those reasons are not lessened any because they are in that single topic. I cannot think of any good reason why that topic allows rule-breaking.

mod fight go

my opinion is that we drop the spoiler thing from zoey's modedit and make people censor or just not post their images

also it was warning x people & editing y images vs mostly allowing it with certain restrictions so
you could also argue that since people chose to have the word filter off and that since this is the everybody edits official forum that it should be allowed as it is specifically because it is content from ee -- spoilers allow users who don't want to see it to avoid it, much like the word censors in ee itself.
so basically, it was specifically for that topic and only that topic.

tl;dr: so people would contribute and so i didn't have to do a ton of work

Since rules on swearing in EE are pretty lax, a lot of chatlogs that come from EE are generally inappropriate, so we'd either kill the topic and forums by banning everybody for posting swears or kill the topic by forcing everybody to censor every log they put there.

We're pretty anti-fun here on these forums, so it doesn't hurt to have just one topic that's a bit of a free-for-all. At least in my opinion.

Also we're lazy

So, you are willing to put moderation aside so an unofficial topic can be contributed to? Where are your priorities? Also, if people really do want to contribute to the topic, they will censor their images. Even though I am not sure why that should even be considered an issue.

you could also argue that since people chose to have the word filter off and that since this is the everybody edits official forum that it should be allowed as it is specifically because it is content from ee -- spoilers allow users who don't want to see it to avoid it, much like the word censors in ee itself.

While that is better than the first argument, it is still flawed. It breaks this forum rule:

Forum rules wrote:

If something violates the Everybody Edits Terms of Service, it also violates forum rules.

Not everything belongs on the forum. Some things might just be better suited off-site, like that short-lived "EE confessions" thing. The fact that there is such a large gap in what is and what is not allowed (especially when the rules state to "keep it PG-13", made even weirder when there is animated explicit content there) hints that something is not quite right in the moderation here.
