Imagine banning someone from a discord group


Robert Adamant - go to this post

Evil bitch that only deserves to eat dirt

Robert Adamant - go to this post

When I free myself from wanting sex or children they try to figure out other ways of making themselves useful to me and it's probably one of the most powerful things women do instinctually.

You're a misogynist and you seem like a total loser in every respect. (I guess these two things go hand in hand.) Don't have Discord, but from this alone I can see why nobody wanted you there.

Looks like this place hasn't changed one bit. Constant bickering, and reddit-esque conversations that devolve immediately into flame wars about why X user should be suspended or unsuspended because the userbase does or doesn't like them. I had hoped not to see this again yet here we are.

After taking everybody's posts into account, I have decided to unban Robert from the server for the following reasons. While it is true that he technically broke the rules, it's also apparent that there has been a double standard for members of the server. Yes, his behavior is morally contemptuous – that being said, the basic purpose of this forum and its outlets is to encourage discussion rather than to hamper it, and the rules do not in fact appeal to any higher moral compass beyond its own standard.

In my eyes, posting or requesting a user's personal information has a far greater capacity to inflict suffering upon that user than to irk them. I cannot justify having banned a person for doing something that I believe to be less harmful than the behaviors of those who remained on the server at that time. Since there is a double standard, that original standard, by my admission, was to ignore the posting of a user's personal information so long as that user was not part of this community, which is wrong. Keeping Robert banned after I have decided to change my standard seems to be unfair, and an example of the kind of inconsistent exercise of authority that occurred on places such as Total Freedom. Authority should be exercised in a uniform manner.
