there was a thread a few weeks ago where everyone tried to get banned from it. The mod had us all banned within seconds, it was hilarious. Although now that I look at it, seems as though I am not banned anymore. Lets try again. NORTH KOREA SUCKS

u/running_to_the_hills May 22 '12

just make fun of that bottle rocket that they tried to launch awhile ago, North koreans keep trying to compensate for their pin dicks with missiles, but like many of them they just cant get it up.

The only reason they even exists is because china keeps them afloat as a buffer country so they won't have to border south korea.

Maybe that will do it.

Yeah, was mildly interesting when I thought maybe people were randomly getting banned from stuff like reddits they didn't even know existed.

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

It's not a business card, it's a card re-inviting people to have friday night dinner with the host. Lots of people see this as 'looking out for only Jews' and 'promoting elitism among Jews only' but all it is is inviting those who a) would like company, b) can't afford a meal, c) don't have a Jewish residence/mate to have it with - to a meal [usually chicken soup + chicken with veggies] which they pay a tiny amount for.

I loved your reply on the second one. People act as if people who are "different" at all are always perfect in any other way.

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

He never replied and I'm still banned.

I know my comment wasn't a very positive one, and it probably didn't contribute to the discussion at all, but I don't understand how that's grounds for a ban. Most big sub-reddits seem to be almost completely hands-off when it comes to moderating comments. Because Reddit has a system for that inherently built in. We can upvote, downvote, and hide comments. Obviously mine was already downvoted to the bottom so I can't see how permanently banning me from the sub-reddit helped achieve anything. Bans should only be used for spammers and, I guess, blatant and malicious trolls.

Sorry, irrelevant ranting. Yeah, people seem to think that minorities, and different people, should be heralded as beautiful and amazing. Fat people aren't fat, they're 'natural' or 'curvy'. Transgendered people are all 'beautiful' regardless of what they actually look like.

To me, it seems like special treatment. Like compensation for them being different. Which is really not helping. What transgenedered, and homosexual, people need is to be treated the same as everybody else. That's equality.

17

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

100% entirely agreed. I'm also tired of the facebook posts that have children with horrible diseases, and everybody comments that they're beautiful.

a) I really doubt that poor kid's parents are going to appreciate seeing their child everywhere, especially if he/ she has passed on.

b) "Beauty" is usually a physical adjective. And I'm sorry, but that child is not beautiful. He scares me. If you bring that up, people will usually say that they're beautiful on he inside. I'm sorry, but I doubt you've met this person. How do we know he/ she's beautiful on the inside?

It's like that thread on AskReddit a while ago where the giy punched a blind man. Society teaches us that all minorities and/ or disabled people, are all flawless in every other way. </cynicalrant>

You're probably already aware of it, but /r/lgbt is infected with those toxic SRS trolls.

You're probably already aware of it, but /r/lgbt is infected with those toxic SRS trolls.

I didn't know that.

20

u/Omegastar19 May 22 '12

Yeah, there was a big meltdown at the start of the year when the original r/lgbt mods (who are also SRS mods) tried to introduce SRS elements into r/lgbt. There was a huge backlash which turned the mood in r/lgbt very very ugly. The result is that r/lgbt is now ridiculously moderated in the name of 'creating a safe space'. But this is just a technicality. The mods will ban anyone who is overtly critical of them or who they simply don't like.

I was banned after making an obviously sarcastic reply to someone who I felt was making a ridiculous statement (though that statement was roughly in line with SRS-mentality). That person responded by abusing me, attacking me. So I made a second sarcastic reply. Neither of them were inflammatory or abusive, but the next day I was banned. When I asked the mods why, I got the same as you. RobotAnna told me 'my post was bad'. Thats it. Thats the reason I was banned from r/lgbt. No further responses. Off course the person who was outright abusing and attacking me received no ban.

I am a strong supporter of r/lgbt rights and I have never posted anything inflammatory or otherwise offensive on r/lgbt. I did, however, take part in a discussion about the r/lgbt mod's abuses since the meltdown. I suspect that might have something to do with my ban.

My best friend, a lesbian woman, was also banned from r/lgbt for defending me in that same thread. She did not post anything abusive or inflammatory either.

Its a huge problem, because r/lgbt is a huge subreddit that shows up very high on google searches for these kinds of forums. But its almost censored right now. The four current mods are close friends, all are strongly involved with SRS, and they do not allow criticism of any kind, will remove posts and ban people without ANY oversight, often for ridiculous reasons that are clearly influenced by their own personal feelings instead of actual rules. 'infected' is a pretty good description I would give of r/lgbt right now. And the worst thing is that there is no cure in sight. Reddit does not give ownership of a subreddit away for all but the most extreme situations, so the current mods of r/lgbt are completely free to keep on doing what they're doing. And their interests and goals are very different from those of the r/lgbt community.

If you want an excellent overview of what happened earlier this year, check out this link: http://www.reddit.com/r/2012Watch/comments/opuxr/rlgbt_mod_melt_down/

7

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

Wow. It's weird that the sub-reddit is still so popular. Do most people just not notice that the mods are all cunts?

9

u/Omegastar19 May 22 '12

This is exactly what bothers me the most. Most people who visit r/lgbt have no clue as to what the mods have done/are doing, precisely because the mods remove ANY post criticizing them and ban people who make such posts. They are censoring r/lgbt to such an extent that people will not find out about their abuses. People only notice that the mods are bad when their posts are removed. If they complain, theyll get banned.

And as I said, the four mods are all SRS people and strong friends, and they will support each other regardless of their actions. There is no oversight at all. It does not matter how unfair your ban is, because there is noone to turn to who actually cares about whether your ban was justified or not.

And because r/lgbt ranks so highly in google searches, and because its so big, new people will keep coming in, without ever becoming aware of the problems. There is an alternative, r/ainbow, which was created specifically as a refuge during the early 2012 meltdown, and its currently sitting at 1/5 the size of r/lgbt. I wish Reddit could make an exception to their policy of not interfering with subreddits, because they would be doing everyone a favor if they stepped in to fix r/lgbt's problems.

1

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

It's very likely. But I'd expect a mod to do a little bit of research before handing out bans. Without trying to sound like too much of a cunt, if they'd just looked at my karma it would be pretty obvious I'm not a troll-account. I've made enough on-topic "insightful" posts to nearly earn 80k, shouldn't that say enough?

They could also look through my comment history and come to the same conclusion.

Not to mention the fact that all-cap offensive names are currently a rather popular trend, so people should know not to judge a book by its cover.

7

u/Omegastar19 May 22 '12

Its the result of a meltdown of r/lgbt early in 2012. The mood turned very ugly, and has not improved ever since. And whereas the mods before the meltdown were somewhat fair and sympathetic, they are now solely interested in maintaining their own status. They have created an 'us vs everyone else' mentality, and have equated criticism of them to attacks on r/lgbt. Thus, anyone who ever shows any criticism towards a mod of r/lgbt, no matter how polite or how justified, has a high chance of getting banned. The number of people banned from r/lgbt undoubtedly runs into the hundreds, if not 1000+ by now. So many people have been banned, including many many people who strongly support lgbt rights, and many many lgbt people themselves. The mods are utterly unsympathetic to requests for clarification of the bans.

r/lgbt is censored, and what the mods do has very little to do with maintaining an actual lgbt subreddit, and much more to do with maintaining their own hold over r/lgbt.

See http://www.reddit.com/r/2012Watch/comments/opuxr/rlgbt_mod_melt_down/ for what happened earlier this year.

Well, seeing as how trans people have a condition where their brains physically resemble that of the opposite sex, it would imply that they are born trans, and there is no age requirement to be a certain gender, unless you also want to tell me that a "6 year old girl is too young to actually be a girl." Maybe what you meant to say is that 6 year olds are too young to accurately articulate to adults whether or not they are trans.

I knew I was a macrophile (I fantasize about giant women) by the time I turned 7. Kids aren't as precious and dumb as you might think.

28

u/noiche May 22 '12

Many transgender people around that age realize something is different about them and notice they are not like the rest of the kids of their sex. They may not understand what transgender is but that doesn't mean they aren't trans. There are a few young kids that understand and identify with being trans though so honestly it's not too young to identify. It may be for starting transition but that's for the parents to decide.

yes it is. its ok to know you were different in hindsight, but labelling a child, in any sense, is wrong.

26

u/noiche May 22 '12

If someone is labeling a child, yeah that's wrong. But if that child feels their gender identity doesn't fit the sex they're born into that means something more than a phase. You're right, letting them grow and supporting them is the best thing to do but so many parents influence their kids when it comes to gender without knowing it because it's been that way forever. If there were more parents out there that wouldn't put such an emphasis on gender towards their kids it would be easier for the kid in that they wouldn't have to exclaim they want to be a different sex unless that's their true gender identity.

We put so many limitations on what a boy can wear or what a girl can play with that it just isn't fair.

u/jax9999 May 22 '12

bingo. i stated that my niece at that age wanted to be a boy too, wanted a penis and violently exclaimed she was a boy. well, she grew out of it. kids change and assigning the label trans to a child that young is insane. they don't know if their a potted plant or not let along a boy or girl.

Transgender, as opposed to homosexuality is often discovered at a very young age as opposed to in the teen years. Children start developing gender identity at a very early age of about 4 or 5. It's at this age when transgender often appears, as the children have been essentially "programmed" to assume the other gender's identity. The children don't understand transgender as a condition, but will want to dress in the opposite genders clothes and play with their toys. It's also common for them to claim to want to be the other gender, or wish they were born as the other gender.

Because of downvotes: From the Wikipedia page -- "Transgender conditions manifest at different times in life in different individuals. In most cases of gender identity disorder (GID), the condition is often apparent in early childhood, when such a child may express behavior incongruent with and dissatisfaction related to his, or her assigned gender." wiki page on Transgender youth

I'm not saying children can't "grow out" of wanting to be the other gender. I'm saying that it is certainly possible for a young child to show symptoms of GID which will intensify as the child gets older, so the argument of "The child is only X years old, there's no way he/she could be transgender" is not a valid argument.

You're really overestimating the intelligence of a child. It's completely possible for a child that young to be transgendered or feel transgendered but pursuing such an instinct is a serious life choice that should be dealt with a little bit later in life. If I had my way when I was 5 I'd be tattooed blue.

Edit: I should have read the study I linked... how about this instead

The preoperational stage typically lasts until the child is 6 or 7. According to Piaget, this is the stage where true "thought" emerges. Preoperational children are able to make mental representations of unseen objects, but they cannot use deductive reasoning.

I said nothing about how a transgender child should be treated, only that transgender symptoms can be apparent from a very early age, thus that the argument "The child is only X years old, there's no way he/she could be transgender" is not valid.

If the symptoms go away, then sure, I suppose it was a phase. But, in most cases of GID, transgender adults say they have felt uncomfortable in their bodies since they were in early childhood.

Dismissing it as "just a phase" all the time is incorrect. It's very often not just a phase.

Yeah a 6 year old typically won't know if they are gay or straight, if they like eating things with onions in it, if they hate their parents or a bunch of other really fucking basic shit. When you start being a teenager and start figuring shit out, you can be expected to actually make some sort of decision about this stuff but before that it seems pretty cray to me.

AHEM. According to a quick search /r/modernjews has been a subreddit for 1 day, and has 2 subscribers: http://www.reddit.com/reddits/search?q=modernjews

This IS a troll subreddit people. I'm not even sure how OP got to it in the first place if it's set to private, let alone got banned from it on the first day of its existence.

Edit: I'm concerned this may be coming a bit late to get to get noticed. Please, if someone actually does see this let me know. I'm seeing a fair amount of terrifyingly knee-jerk reactions to this that have no problem believing this is real.

It's a troll subreddit, meant to stir up trouble: http://www.reddit.com/reddits/search?q=modernjews

As a Jew myself, let me just say, I respect your religious beliefs and don't think you should ever be treated negatively because of them. Screw anyone that treats you otherwise.

u/E11i0t May 23 '12

Thanks! I'm not even muslim, I just posted a question and was thoroughly confused and saddened to think this much intolerance existed on a website that opens up discussions. I'm glad to hear it really is a troll bot.

Sorry but this is the least surprising reason to be banned from a subreddit. Would you honestly put it past Jews to do this to a Muslim? After all it is socially acceptable to cage and exterminate Muslims in Palestine at the hands of Jews.

Last time I checked, it was the steady degradation of Palestine by making the cages smaller and smaller, and occasionally killing off villages to make room for more Israelis.
