  • The arguments against preemptive bans feel petty and are coming from a place of someone who hasn’t moderated. You’re basically saying that as a mod if I see someone being a troll, or brigading, or saying (threatening) they’re going to that I should just sit by and wait for them to do so. Especially when a large proportion of these trolls are willing to go above and beyond to be hurtful and spiteful.

    This is what we’re dealing with here:

    Yeah, those dipshits outright impersonated and bullied me saying weird and gross crap like this.

    So no I’m not going to sit by and watch people from the sidelines until they target me and my community and no one else should either. People want to be shitheads they should expect to find themselves banned from places they never heard of for being shitheads. Don’t like it? Stop being a shithead. And yes that does include obvious forms of brigading like going to someone’s profile and downvoting every comment they posted, or downvoting every post in a community, or downvoting all the comments under a post.
















  • I think this is a nice gesture but I also think it’s way too charitable for the Anti-GenAI people currently complaining. Their issue isn’t that they want to avoid it, they want to stamp it out, they want it gone. They’re not going to hide posts or keywords, they’re going to brigade them. They already brigade and harass explicitly GenAI communities and don’t block them. They’ve harassed me multiple times, told me to die in DMs and even impersonated me for running such communities. Tagging isn’t going to help, they’re just going to use it to hunt down people who post it and brigade the posts or target the users, because they aren’t angry that they are seeing it, they’re angry that it exists and they wish to stamp it out, no matter the cost.

    In short this is a good solution with good intentions but it assumes a level of good faith that just isn’t there. I’d agree with this if the problem was really people just not wanting to see it, but the problem is much deeper. I’m sure that once people start doing it, the goal posts will be moved and they’ll just stop using “untagged” as a reason for complaining.
