  • First some context… I don’t want to be too prescriptive on what is or is not allowed on various communities here on AZ. I’d like them (communities) to find their own voice and audience, and self-determine what is acceptable… within the confines of the global AZ rules.

    Having said that… due to the nature of it, this specific community could probably do with some guard rails… but more importantly, an active moderator to advance the development of the community itself. To that end I’ve made Gorgritch_Umie_Killa a moderator, will remove the two idle ones shortly.

    My advice… moderation should remain as neutral and unbiased as possible. Allowable content from one political viewpoint, must be allowed from others. ie links to stickers from Getup being allowed means a similar link for HON promotional should also be allowed.

    As for AI generated content, personally I don’t want to view/read it at all. Not sure exactly how to manage it across AZ, this will need further discussion and thought. I’d like to ban it outright, but that doesn’t seem feasible. Some sort of mandatory tagging in thread titles perhaps…




  • Dunno about the mods, but the AZ admins are 100% happy to continue to platform racists>

    Untrue. Starting with a statement of “fact” like that immediately has me questioning if you are posting in good faith.

    When alerted and given information, they’ll maybe remove one or two offending posts but do absolutely nothing about the user despite a repeated history of it.>

    The information you’ve previously compiled was either moderated already, or deleted by author when I saw most of if. What remained were ambiguous, possibly offensive comments if interpreted in particular ways . Either way… I didn’t see anything warranting further action than had already occurred. That and your actions at the time, harassing said user in every thread they posted in, had me take your input with a large grain of salt.

    As far as I’m concerned the instance is run in very very bad faith.>

    I don’t think there is anything I can say to convince you how wrong you are on this one. We do the best with the information available to us, and we’re only human.

    As for your edit:

    why you refuse to take meaningful action>

    I’m not. I’m happy to ban users when it is warranted.

    why you refuse to take meaningful action against racism towards Aboriginal peoples>

    Can you point me towards any such content on AZ?

    allow said racist to continue to operate on your platform?>

    I’ve not seen any unaddressed reports for them that warrant action on my part. I’m not online 24x7 though, so often reports are addressed by other mods/admins before I see what was reported.

    Looking over comments from this user, I see plenty to dislike. But I won’t ban a user because I dislike them, their opinions or necessarily how they express them.
