I think its called scientific process or something like that, and its quite healthy for the brain. Allow yourself to make mistakes, take hunches and formulate hypothesis, dont be afraid.
me and achro there got a perfect communication of our ideas, we both went our ways understanding each other. is that hard to apply everywhere? or do we just wanna go the easy route to have some good laugh at the expense of others? I dont know, dont care

I agree, that’s why I said it’s giga-brain.
Wait no, I meant to say it’s “probably” giga-brain, my bad ☺️

mainly the quoted "probably" and the emoji at the end

I agree wholeheartedly with the non-absolutes statement. My initial intent behind saying “poly in a nutshell” and claiming you “come to conclusions” was just a lighthearted friendly jab.
Then you responded in a serious manner.
So I responded with an observational statement for fun that had no intent of riling you up, but it ended up doing so because you could not read the meaning and intent behind my words.
Also, the quotations around “probably” was to emphasize that it was a joke. No ill-intent behind it.
Generally speaking, the more emojis I use, the less serious I’m being. But just because I’m unserious, does not mean that I’m being fake or untruthful.
Just being silly.
/end serious
TLDR: relax bro it’s just a joke 😎

No it doesn't, double post is possible in OT but it's barely tolerated when exceptional. You triple posted multiple times in the last few days.Polyspora wrote:

...sadly, consequence and relationships are not solely dependent on intent, but
in the interest of intent, having a generally reliable sense of how different people are likely to reasonably respond
in this case, a friendly jab is understandable given the culture of off-topic, but delivery and context (lack of setup to signal friendliness and lightheartedness,lack of a history of personal closeness and trust, reasonably presumable opposition in opinion even when any currently-expressible opposition is benign/mild) can make the nature of this more ambiguous, where responding seriously/sincerely could be a reasonably believable response to expect :0
further, upon noticing sincerity in your respondent's questions/guesses/answers, it is a bit harder for underlying Observational Statements to be expected to be received with fun in mind, which makes "[it] Ended Up [riling you up] Because You Could Not Read the meaning and intent Behind the words" a curious assessment of things (title case for selective emphasis)... "ended up" can be taken as a passive absolution of responsibility, "because /you/ could not" would seem to be an active absolution of responsibility which could be neglecting to note that interpretation is often dependent on what first exists for others to respond [lightheartedly in return] to and the conditions that prime our understanding of what is said

Hi, I think my thread titled “retardmaxxing” was unfairly wastelanded. The OT userbase has always been and is still fine with using the word “retard”, especially when it’s not being used derogatorily or directed at anyone specifically.
The contents of that thread was an inspirational thread where I encouraged the people of Off-Topic to let the stresses of their minds go and post without fear of overthinking.
There was no hate intended by use of that word, nor was there any intent of the usage of that word in my thread to be derogatory.

anyways, appeal was rejected by the gmt, in fact it was vetoed for a parliament vote, it happened while I was asleep so I asked for the original convirmation, but yeah, I think it's just because the word retard is a slur. Like, it's just a slur want it or not, non cant do nwordmaxxing where everyone lets their inner hood out, you can't do that. There is no good use for the word.Penguin wrote:

even if you're well-intended, you're still handing over plausible deniability to those who do want to mock people. if it's really about "letting go of stress" and letting thoughts flow freely and stuff, you can easily find other words to use. call it stonermaxxing or whatever

Jokes aside, As I have also done moderation work else where, like above 1k reports and 500 or so appeals.
The word retard is personally a warning level offense for me, similar to profanity like Dickhead, dumbass, pussy, twat, asshole. Though there were some in our team who wanted this to be a ban-able offense but that never got approved.
Penguin also didn't directed it to someone and that does play a big role because saying 'Fuck' or saying 'Fuck you' make a difference.
Personally waste landing the thread was too much. Though a DM warning is more valid as this word been used sooooo many times in OT. But words do have values believe it or not and normalizing slurs is bad no matter how you look at it.

I mean, times change and online rules are inconsistent ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, personally I don't think that slurs should be allowed regardless of what the context is, that includes retard, fag, etc

You’re doing the thing where you overthink and try to predict your opponent’s next move so that you have an upper hand in the conflict and will come out victorious with the “dub”, rather than actually having an intellectual and mature discussion about the topic at hand. ✌️synthwavesquid wrote:
