Thanks
the ok sign is a "hate" symbol so make sure all ok signs are OUT
naw but fr you can probably just use (somewhat politcally correct) "common sense" on what you remove
is there an "absolute freeforum"? I forget what the status of that idea was

The problem is that the name of the community here is: FreeForum. You can post about anything so you can't keep people on topic because any topic goes. I say let 'em rip because we are racist no matter what we post. Freedom is Antiemetic so as long as we have freedom, we are anti-Semites.
But we are here because we value freedom.
Maybe just put a racist flair on it or something. Trying to avoid the inevitable ban hammer is futile. If they can't find racist content, they will lie and invent it for us.

The fact that having a free forum is now inherently incompatible with this platform without reduced visiblity by self censoring or forced by an admin says a lot about wolfballs.

Sorry for the ban, we've been under attack heavily lately. dos attacks, fake account ect.
Look man, I have no interest in hosting a site that is dedicated to being antisemitic. I want people to be able to have hard conversations. But I can't host a site where every post or comment is like this one https://wolfballs.com/post/20865/comment/16805
Either we get diversity of opinion or though or I can't keep doing this.
I enjoyed ruqqus while it lasted and want that experience again.

Seeing as we have maybe 5 really active users and it is a young platform, I don't think it says anything about Wolfballs only that they are trying to figure out how to handle certain things. Answers are a little harder to come up with when your ass is literally attached to something.

imo, I think this should generally be the case. However; If enough post become Jew Nose memes or black person lip memes then I have to mark !freeforum@wolfballs.com as offensive and people new to the site won't be able to see it until they subscribe to it.
I think having the attitude that most things are acceptable most of the time and if there is any question always lean on the side of freedom.
But if someone comes here with a bunch of low quality post like we need less N***** and then spam post it, it drastically reduces the value of freeforum.
Having a freeforum extreme is like having two layers of freeforum. Free forum is still free because freeforum extreme is part of freeforum. It's just been split into two parts.
That doesn't mean we should ban people for saying a slur. But if someone is posting the same rascist post over and over we need to say, do that one layer deeper in freeforum extreme.
In this way, we keep the edgy nature of it without it devolving into consumeproduct. Almost everyone feels like they need a shower after going there.

I have a compromise, no spamming of racist posts or antisemetic posts,

Yes, you are right. Freeforum is now the face of Wolfballs, so it would turn off newcomers fast

We could also mark it as nsfw. Make a site wide policy that racist content can only be in nsfw communities. That might be a more consistent way to handle it. Nsfw communities are hidden from front page when not signed in.

@masterofballs@wolfballs.com Read scruffs reply, kind of makes a decent point
