Welcome to Software Patents 101.

So they decided to base the show’s pacing on The Silmarillion it seems.

Yeah no worries.

The issue is that as rules get more specific, those types of users/trolls go out of their way to skirt around the edges as closely as possible without breaking them, and usually very vocal about not breaking the rule in the process.

On the flip side, vague rules means moderation can be viewed as simultaneously both heavy and light handed depending on perspective.

I wasn’t directing it at you specifically, just a general commentary about the pseudo-anonymity that many internet commenters feel they have and the resulting attitudes and responses because of that. The core reason for vague generalized rules like Rule 1 is because people will be dicks, just because they can. And that manifests in hundreds of different ways that are hard to account for in a general community rule structure beyond something simple like, don’t be a dick.

Or, just don’t be a dick. Something many users have a fundamental issue with from my experience over the last 25+ years online.

Rule 1 is: Be nice and have fun.

Definitely censorship there. I’d add more, but that would violate rule 1.

So instead… I hope you have the day you deserve.

Is Elon gonna sue the World Bank now?

Not to mention that the formatting is so bad that the client requires you to basically be in fullscreen but you’ve still gotta scroll a mile down to get any info.

For Xbox, that’s because the PC app is literally copy/pasted from the Xbox console app. Hell, it probably is the same universal app since that was a big Microsoft push to have more apps available on the consoles and Windows Phone.

I’d say social media platforms are an entire different beast.

Facebook is not the same as Facebook Messenger for instance.

Legitimate countries don’t need to ban communications platforms.
