[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 8320012, member: 177"] [color=red][b]Mod Note:[/b] More notes from moderators... There are a couple kinds of pitfalls that folks who I strongly expect want to do the right things are falling into in this thread: 1) Making it personal - "[I]YOU[/I] are being a bad actor." Folks, if you feel someone is being a bad actor, is posting racist crud, or the like, we ask, as always, for you to report them [I]AND DISENGAGE[/I]. If you don't - if you take it on yourself to personally attack or confront another user - you may force the moderators to address your actions even if we agree with you in principle. Speaking very broadly - your ability to change anyone's mind by confrontation on the internet is essentially non-existent. Even if you feel it is still worth it for "the message" - do realize that the acrimony so raised increases the likelihood the thread has to be closed overall, ending discussion and making that message drop into the obscurity of threads nobody posts to. Thus, you can [I]hurt[/I] your own message. So please don't do it. 2) Trying to make people commit to a stance. I can understand the urge to get someone to commit to making a statement for, or against things. But using the public space as social pressure [I]amounts to coercion[/I], and we cannot allow that. Please don't do it. Our users must feel free to speak their minds when they want to speak, and say what they want to say, without fear. And if someone does try to pin you to a wall to take a stand, please report the issue and allow moderators to handle it.[/color] [/QUOTE]
