LOCAL RULES - NO POSTERS THAT HAVE DISAGREED WITH ME EVER IN ANY THREAD ALLOWED TO POST HERE. LOL imagine this was possible to enforce. Completely mad.
I started a thread here. I would like to have full clarification of this rule on boards where there is no self moderation and it is not a sales based thread.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/fact-based-on-topic-relevant-information-should-not-be-silenced-in-meta-5099936It seems there is need for clarity and reasoning behind such a rule being applicable on meta board.
Some people seem to believe that facts and observable events that are relevant and on topic can be censored by using and ad hominem fallacy based reasoning.
I mean if the poster is confined to posting only facts and observable events that are relevant and on topic then why would it matter who creates the post?
It seems to me certain persons are asking for the right to spread and proliferate ideas, assumptions , actions and statements that are incorrect, misleading and dangerous whilst setting rules that prevent facts, observable events that would dispel these net negative and dangerous ideas.
Meta has no self moderated threads for this exact reason. It seems certain people believe that they can create a self moderated environment here by setting their own local rules and having them enforced by mods.
I think this matter should be cleared up because before when I have requested certain people do not post unless they back up their claims with some credible case i was told no person can dictate who replies or takes part in a thread in meta.
So it seems there is need for clarity on this.
I can personally see no positive outcome or reason for preventing facts and observable on topic and relevant information being presented. So long as that criteria is obeyed then what reason could there be to preclude it.
I think this needs clarification because this issue is not one I have ever noticed on this board before. The rule seems to leave it to the mods discretion since I mean any kind of crazy rules could be invented by the poster,
Would be good to see what kind of reasoning is behind this and if it is valid on meta at all. Where there is no self moderation for good reason.
The idea of precluding individuals posting on a thread here I was told previously is impossible if they keep to facts and it is on topic. It seems people are saying differently now.
If this rule is applicable on meta board and I put local board rules stating that posts that are not accompanied by facts or observable events that support their post ....then peoples posts can be deleted that do not abide by these rules and they can be banned for breaking my local made up rules?
I mean that even makes sense but using ad hominem fallacy to preclude facts and observable events that are relevant seem ludicrous and dangerous.
