I don't have time to respond to this thread before work but let's just say I'm with chamber. Making soft-handed policy changes instead of nuking people is what allowed NS to go as far as he did.In post 41, chamber wrote:I was. I've heard, in the vaguest of details, what the catalyst for this choice was and I now disagree more strongly than before I knew. I again don't know the details, but this rules change wont stop such an event from happening again, it will at best move where it happens. Nuke the fuck out of someone if they are being intentionally inappropriate with minors. Don't punish everyone else for it.
This is probably the most eyerolling limitation that has been placed on this site. I don't particularly want to talk about sex all the time in sitechat (in fact I think I've had one "mature" conversation in there regarding the night I got invited to a kink thing? And I did kind of want sounding boards in real-time). I have other outlets for that conversation, and 80% of the time I'm talking about netrunner in sitechat.
BUT! What are you trying to achieve? what is your desired outcome? If you have someone who is sexualising children (not talking about sex with children, not educating or providing support, which are drastically different things) but SEXUALISING CHILDREN, the solution is not to change the rules about SITECHAT.
Whatever, this change has happened, and it's going to continue happening. it isn't really going to impact me at all, and my frustration isn't going to achieve shit. Let me just say that, Mods, if you've got a problem with sex and children, do something real and effectual about it.
