Thom293 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 If you want to promote your nazi hate s#*!, make your own site and put up all you want. They dont have to allow it here. This is a private business and they can do what they want. Fortunately, it seems they are good guys here and have made the right choice to ban it. Also, I find it hilarious that Nazi sympathizers are claiming the right to freedom of speech and equality of access. That there is comedy gold.

tempwayne Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Sir, I assure you that I have no sympathy for Nazi ****hits. To prevent any misunderstanding, I put that in the first post of mine. Yet, you still assume that I'm "one of them".Again, this topic is not just about flags and uniforms, but also other things that some people would find offensive, like Slavery, or killable children, or replacing Fatman with a baby. I understand that this is a private site, which is what I said(again in my first post). However, we're not talking about what Nexusmods "has to do", but what the most ethical course of action is.

zaty1 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I had a giant mutli paragraph post and decided it wasn't worth it.There is going to be no end to debating hypocrisy, irony, and opinion.In the end, as you said, "private" site - their rules.

tempwayne Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Suppose a user decides to put the Confederate flag(I guess someone has already done it), what would our course of action be? I don't know enough about the United States to understand all its meaning, but I do understand that while some Southerners think of it as a symbol of pride, many people are offended by it, as for them, it is a symbol of slavery. Instead of choosing between forcing everyone to look at this mod, and outright deleting it, why don't we make it optional for people to even see that such a mod exists?Some things like Nazism being Evil have a clear-cut understanding and consensus among people, but there are several other mods that may or may not be offensive depending on who you are.

tempwayne Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 I had a giant mutli paragraph post and decided it wasn't worth it.There is going to be no end to debating hypocrisy, irony, and opinion.In the end, as you said, "private" site - their rules. That is exactly what I feared this topic would become, and attempted to avoid that as much as possible with my initial post. Didn't work. I'm just asking the private site we all love to create a system that satisfies the expectations of as many people as possible(with the exception of the trolls). Once again, I request people to not go to politics. This is not a discussion about whether people are offended by Nazis and Soviets and American soldiers. The topic of discussion is whether we could add a new tag that describes that these mods are offensive. If the community decides that extremely offensive mods need to be taken down, at least mods that are offensive for only some people can be put under this tag and it would save a lot of trouble.

tempwayne Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) no option for grow a sack so... Sorry bro, I didn't think of all the possible choices that people would think of. I assumed that my list was pretty exhaustive within the context. :pirate:Jokes aside, do vote(in this poll, I do not care about your country's political elections). A clear consensus is always better than a divided vote. Edited November 28, 2015 by tempwayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonoodles Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 No, the current policy is good. Otherwise the site's going to turn into a haven for race supremacists and all the rest, and then you'll see how well that goes. If there's even a recognisable site left at the end.

tempwayne Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Okay, now I see your point. Some mods do deserve to die. I might sound like a parrot repeating the same line over and over, but can we at least have the "Offensive" tag for mods like slavery and baby killing that are not offensive to all people? Many users have issues with some of these mods too. Again, let me reiterate, it is not the clearly offensive mods that we have this discussion for. It's for the gray area.

zaty1 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) So, someone says killing children is offensive - and they mark it offensive.Someone else says slavery is offensive and they mark it offensive.I say 4k HD soap(example) is offensive and I mark it offensive - yet I don't find killing children offensive or slavery offensive.Now it is filtered anyways. So how do I find those mods? Why, I sort through all the offensive stuff, negating the offensive tag.I know you mentioned it in your post. But offensive is a vague catagory. I just don't see it as feasible (even if I wanted the option). I'll stick with what I've been doing lately. Block the author of content I find offensive. Unfortunately, this blocks all their stuff.(Not that, they generally have anything else I'd want anyways - currently - I atleast do check) I'd rather just have the option to block specific files, and be done. If this already exists - please point me to it. Edited November 28, 2015 by zaty1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
