"Rule #7 Added. In an effort to curb the amount of toxicity present in Casual Discussion, as well as to hopefully reduce the likelihood of rule violations enabled by such threads, controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. When in doubt, please contact a forum moderator."

This is my favourite rule, CD is officially a safe space now, don't fear anxiety driven mal denizens, your views will not be challenged here, instead, we will ask you what food you like, so you can have a DISCUSSION about it - but remember, no chatting in the forums.

The moderators have been trying to kill off this board for years now since the noh noh noh sexual talk rule, just fucking do it, delete it already

Rule 7 was only active around 2018... I forgot the time/date when it was. My fav forum rule is the rule that everyone virtually hates, which is the 30 char rule.

Rule 7 is only "recent" and since the site went down for retarded reasons we aren't really seeing it's effects ... Yet.


But overall it's just so the mods can be lazy even though they volunteered and most of those gays are from forum games so they're Anal.


To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to become a forum mod. The snipe banning is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical forum modding most of the thread locks will go over a typical op's head. There's also the mod's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into their modding- their personal patrolling draws heavily from NeoGAF, for instance.

I guess I don't understand, or maybe am missing out on the slang and it means something else.

So is it a 'kitchen' as in the room in a house that food is prepared/stored in? Or is it some new hip slang for something completely different that the youngin's are saying nowadays.

Because I can't understand why a picture of an actual (room) kitchen would be bad (or why someone posted one in the first place to create that rule).

The person who wrote rule 7 is being racist.
7. Controversial/sensitive topics liable to incite rule violations (trolling, flaming, abuse) are no longer allowed. Please use the Current Events board for new developments in these topics, and follow the board rules there. This includes, but is not limited to, topics which:

a. aim to profile/stereotype, or question the legitimacy of, people based on their gender, sexual orientation, race, xenophobia, religion, etc.
b. discuss highly-debated social issues; e.g. abortion, sexual assault, immigration, etc.
c. focus on political ideologies and events; e.g. Nazism, fascism, world leaders, controversial laws/lobbies, etc.

It's implying that people have different races, which is not true.
The correct term would be ethnicity.

i think you've been told a million times now that with this logic it makes no sense to even have CE or CD as boards.
this is what you're asking: "why do people use the non-anime sections of this forum".
just delete CD and CE, but stop saying this.

It's because the people in the community used to like to talk about things outside of anime, cause they obviously felt more at home here than other forums

If it was up to me CE would be removed all together. It's pretty clear this userbase can't handle a lot of topics maturely.

>this is what you're asking: "why do people use the non-anime sections of this forum".
That's not it. I'm asking why people need to constantly turn things politically. I don't know whether it's a thing with people in general or anime fans in general, but it's gotten way too bad over the past year or so. Before it was usually pretty alright.

And it's not like there aren't any topics left to discuss outside of anime and politics.

Rule 7 yikes. I don't want constant fluffy convos about random shit. I think it would be good to have more dark topics so an actual real conversation could take place so these things are out in the open, and not treated like they're "bad and sinful things to talk about". If there's a sensitive topic, and someone feels uncomfortable about a thread, they don't have to read it. If there's some comment on a thread that makes them extremely uncomfortable, they should report it, because it's the mods' job to make a decision to see if it's too bad or nah. Rule 7 just puts a blanket over every sensitive single topic out there, when in reality each topic posted should be judged as an individual case. I've been critical of the mods lately, but that rule is basically an excuse for mods to be lazy.

I would like topics talking opening how people feel about mental health, suicide, sexuality, sex, society, etc but I don't want them to be constantly there either like how I don't want constant fluffy convos.

EDIT: I like me having rules and structure, but I sorta like the anarchy route of "read at your own fucking risk" with the topics I listed above.

lmao loving that OP used the title as a diversion to what it really was. Impressive.

Other than that, yeah 30 character rule for some threads!

When you say something like that, you're already killing any space for discussion. The "is not a good thing" is strictly your opinion. I'm neither far right not far left but, I respect some ppl have some radical views. The truth is, that exact mindset is what drives people to the extremes, the "you can't do this" or "this is intrinsically wrong".
Also, note you used "alt right" and didn't even mentioned the extreme leftist who historically are associated with protectionist and nationalist movements. Both extremes are wrong but, you need them to maintain balance and intervene when things need to be shaken up.

You can't expect mature discussion without losing a huge amount of regular user potential through the implementation of constricting rules, I'm suspecting now for the first time, the amount of people regularly circulating the forums isn't a concern of mal dev, at the end of the day, they are strong opinions, and toxicity is relevant to other common courtesy rules
