Related to moderation, flagging and policies - i think we need to evolve our thinking to enable this forum to allow conversations to flow, to wander and to ultimately flex to allow diverse perspectives to flourish without immediately killing momentum.
Moderation is a tough job and something that is far more nuanced than people realise - but we should focus on outcomes, not trying to regulate every situation.
This does not seem to be in line with the code of conduct of this forum and even seems to verge on trolling.
Personally, I think it’s important that we re-think the kappa sigma mu collective and its funding, and I think many others agree with some or all of your critiques as I do. But even a strongly held conviction doesn’t justify insincere or trolling discourse in a forum specifically aimed at elevating the quality of discourse.
Please see this comment and my response
The reason comedy (insincerity as you say) has worked forever… to tackle big issues, is you can approach difficult subjects in a lateral and entertaining way and ultimately the little guy can score points against the big fish, who almost always end up taking themselves far too seriously…
This approach has worked in bringing three new people to the forum to defend their initative, explain it better to the community and ultimately help shine a light on an issue many people complain about privately, but refuse to do anything about.
Yes I am being direct, and yes I am trying to get a reaction, but this is part of the process of driving up the collective intelligence of the collective, not just insulating some specific group from exposure to critique.
