Feedback on the "Policy Refinement Feedback Thread"

@Princess Luna  
Could you provide an example of promoting discrimination, please? I’d like a clear and obvious mark of what you define as “promoting”.

@Princess Luna  
My issue is with potential interpretations, especially after the “master race” porn pic was flagged, which at the least charitable reading just says “have more aryan foals” (the way I read it, it basically just said “fuck Aryanne plz”). I doubt a message saying “have more zebra foals/griffin chicks” would be considered hateful.

@Frosku  
It was already stated that zebra supremacy is fine and a completely different thing.  
Until there’s another list of okay and not okay images to rip apart for being biased, there’s no way to know just how unfair their rulings will be.

@Background Pony #8D2C  
I don’t have any issue with zebra supremacy pics, I just want fairness. It’s all art at the end of the day.

@Frosku  
No shit? That’s the point.  
One “master race” is bad, but the other isn’t. One call for violence is bad, but the other isn’t. One form of discrimination is bad, but the other isn’t.  
There will be no fairness.

>>193840 (deleted) and probably >>1075729 (deleted)

@Princess Luna  
Why the second? Seems like a reference to Gilda?
 
Edit: Nevermind, I didn’t read the description.

@Princess Luna  
Devil’s advocate for a moment on the latter- Gryphons are depicted as greedy bastards. Not to mention Gilda, yeah.
 
god i haven’t slept in a day for some reason. Not firing all cylinders, please be patient.

@Princess Luna  
Alright, I think the second is a parody of something else and there aren’t exactly any griffons to discriminate against, but it’s a nothing picture, so sure.  
Now why weren’t these examples used in your polls rather than the other ones? Will you be showing all of the images you intend to delete under these new rules? I have zero faith that you’ll apply this evenly given your stated positions and manipulation of rules and definitions and would like you to continue to prove it.

You literally could not have fucked this situation more than you actually did. Congratulations.

You could not have contributed anything more useful and helpful than you did with your comment. /sarcasm

@Background Pony #8D2C  
It took me a bit to even find these to reply (searching “racism” found the first pretty fast, and then “racism, -edit” for an example that isn’t just a screencap with some text added took a while), there’s I think fairly few images worthy of deletion. Another that I find looking at the rest of “racism, -edit”, by the way: >>2005315

@Princess Luna  
Ponification is a wonderful thing, isn’t it?

@Background Pony #DA67  
They haven’t even pulled the trigger yet.  
Once they are done reformulating the rules for the hundredth time, they will be able to focus back on … ignoring said rules’ wording and just judge everything with the ridiculous bias and inconsistency shown during the internal polls.  
Then they will have reached maximum situation fuckening. Be patient, we aren’t there yet.

@Princess Luna  
Isn’t that just a ponification of some anime meme though? Is that flagged for deletion because you honest to god think it’s a problem, or because you’re being forced to delete it? Unless it’s your first day on the internet, or the only website you browse it Twitter, it seems like another pretty obvious joke.
 
At what point do we tell people to “lighten up”?

@Background Pony #7D18  
@Princess Luna  
 
Here’s the original apparently.

@Princess Luna  
These rules seem notably more fair than previous rule sets.
 
That said, and as others have said, it leaves an uncomfortable degree of ambiguity. As in, I fear mods will be too zealous in their enforcement. Especially considering the definition of “what is a joke” is becoming narrower and narrower.

@Princess Luna  
I have a few proposals for clarification based on my interpretation of your intent for the rules:  
– Since you’re trying to limit incitement to the “imminent and likely” standard, this could be mentioned in the rules explanations  
– Please add a part to the rule explanations about what you do not consider a personal characteristic. Unless this has changed, it appears you’d like for e.g. professions to be fair game, so make it clear to reduce the flamewars. Yes, this is about ACAB.
