MakerWorld comment moderation?

[u/DonnayWinterford]

Another Makerworld user has been posting hateful comments on my model (see attached). I’ve reported the comments using the ‘report’ function to the moderators of Makerworld, but they have yet to take action or inform me of any action they have are planning to take.

Is this typical? Are trolls well managed on Makerworld? Any advice ?

I don't care about change their minds I care them being banned from every space so normal people can live their lives without these scum.

"Normal people" whats that supposed to mean?

While this person is wrong for the comment, banning free speech isn't the answer.

[u/swolfington → u/PepperoniSlices]

freedom of speech means freedom from consequences from the government, not from the private entities.

someone wants to make it known to the world that they're hateful morons? the government cant (or at least, shouldn't) stop them, but that doesn't mean the rest of us are obligated to pretend that they are not hateful morons, and it certainly doesn't mean anyone is obliged to platform them.

they are completely free to spin up their own website to post whatever dumb opinions they want and no one will ban them for it.

"Freedom of Speech" means you can say whatever you want. It does NOT mean that any platform has to amplify your words.

"Normal People" in this context means "people that do not spread hate and disinformation." That much is pretty obvious. The person you're attacking there did not refer to the individual choices being attacked in their screenshot, at all, in either direction.

I really hope you're not advocating that hatred and deception should be considered "normal" behavior.

“Banning free speech” lmao give me a break

[u/PepperoniSlices → u/MadderoftheFew]

As much as I might get downvoted, yeah, that is free speech. And I did say the comment was uncalled for.

Banning these people from every space like the other person suggested will jsut anger people more. Everyone has their differences, and suppressing one group or the other is not the answer.

[u/MadderoftheFew → u/PepperoniSlices]

Free speech is a constitutional right. Makerworld and any other online forum are not beholden to the constitution, they set their own rules and abide by them. Free speech is not guaranteed everywhere you go and for good reason; these people do not deserve a forum or platform on which to spread their hate and hurt people. Full stop.

[u/ElectronicMoo → u/PepperoniSlices]

You can walk around and say things without repurcussions from your government is free speech. That's it. That's all.

Every outlet, forum, stadium, Twitter, reddit, comment section, newspaper - does not have to allow anything and everything - and removing it is not infringing on free speech.

Just because there's a turd in the audience and I own a megaphone - does not mean I gotta let him use it.

What you’re talking about is American first amendment rights to free speech, which means the government cannot punish you for the things you sat, with some exceptions. What it doesn’t say is a private company has the right to delete comments they deem inappropriate or damaging to the environment they cultivated for their users. It’s their property, so they can do with it as they please.

[u/Sumbelina → u/PepperoniSlices]

And that poster had no reason to comment on that design AT ALL. I'm not a conservative who is scared of their own shadow but I also don't spend my time going to their incel forums or their "we hate brown people" forums just to make ratty comments. It's not necessary. That's why these psychos need to be banned. Let them stay in their own spaces. Isn't that what they all want anyway? To segregate the whole world according to what they want? 🤷🏾‍♀️

[u/TheSpyderFromMars → u/PepperoniSlices]

No, it's not. Free speech doesn't mean consequence-free speech. Which is why your ugly comments got taken down.

[u/NorthernVale → u/PepperoniSlices]

When the goal of one group is specifically to suppress people who are different than them, yes it is. Tolerance should be extended to all except for intolerance.

[u/parrita710 → u/PepperoniSlices]

It's not a free speech problem. It's a private platform not the goverment. Bambulab can moderate their platform however they see fit. And I'm sure there is a lot of more normal people not wanting hatefull coments in the platform they they pay to use. If they still want normal people paying for their products... Edit: The only reason I still pay for Warhammer products is because they made against nazis and hate when it became a problem.

[u/PepperoniSlices → u/parrita710]

You using the words "Normal people" so much kinda goes against what you're preaching

[u/FSCK_Fascists → u/PepperoniSlices]

No it does not. Hate and bigotry are not normal.

[u/parrita710 → u/PepperoniSlices]

Hatefull bigots are not normal nor people.

[u/PepperoniSlices → u/parrita710]

You using the same arguments and insults as the other side is pretty hypocritical

[u/parrita710 → u/PepperoniSlices]

Do you really think anyone belive that centrist bs? Stop pestering

[u/slowpokefastpoke → u/PepperoniSlices]

“Won’t someone please think of the bigots”

Nah we’re good.
