This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

One obstacle; is that so many of these pink lace cupcakes, believe that they are highly intelligent and morally pure.  They see themselves as being the righteous among us.  They are true believers, who can't be converted.  They are also active and vocal.  The average "Normal" human being, doesn't have time for all this nonsense; because we work jobs, and pay our own bills.

That thinking is because we've allowed kids to bring home participation trophies and have continually told them how special they are.  The vast majority of them are barely midwits who should be digging ditches or scrubbing toilets for a living instead of spouting banalities because their gender studies degree told them they're qualified to give an opinion.  But hey, now that places like Harvard no longer require SAT/ACT scores for admission and don't care about grades so long as you're the "right" minority, what could possibly go wrong in the future...

Well yes of course. If you look at, for example, the cancerous OSR discord server, the number of pronoun-bearing, marxist-loving, civilization-dismantlers are a teeny tiny portion of the hundreds of users. The cancer is virulent, but relatively small.
But, as cancers do, this one grows stronger over time. Specifically, it tightens its hold on the identity of the server by periodically chopping off the most obvious opponents to its ideas.

Which is why you need strong mods who agree with your rules. Rule 1 you have to be aproved to join the discord (anyone with pronouns/mental illness haircuts/commie shitin their profile gets rejected). Rule 2 You have to fill a questionair to join (put several trigering questions/questions designed to make them show their true colors) use this to separate the rabble. Rule 3 ZERO real world politics, first offense gets a week suspension, second offense gets you banned for a month, third offesne gets youy permabanned.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

The server in question had a bot that would list your pronouns for you. :P

Remind us how you don't.  We'll worry about consistency once you worry about not being a garbage human.

P.S. Moderating a voluntary agreed upon code of conduct somehow equals authoritarianism?  I take it back; try not being a buffoon first...

Its a legitimate point. Twitter is voluntary as well. If you need to stack the deck to defend your ideas, your ideas suck.

Hardly.  You are, like Happyderp, someone who spends more time sniping from the sidelines than actually engaging with ideas (unless you think you have a "gotcha" moment).  Honestly, as much as you've agreed with Happyderp lately, Pundit ought to check your IP addresses.  Wake me when you have something worthwhile to say...

Oh, I don't think they are sock puppets.  But when you regularly agree with HD, you should definitely check your (lack of) thinking...

I believe in free speech and an equal playing field. In the spirit of the 1st amendment, not just the law. If Happydaze said air was good, that doesn't mean we should all suffocate out of spite.

Yeah you don't need all those steps to ensure a fair and good forum. Just "No politics" can work, as in a place like RPGPub.

The problem with that is the left will invade and implement their own rules that would turn you a "fascist" or some other leftist slur.
You have to stamp them out or they will try to turn it into their place sort of like Tyranids.

Try having better ideas of your own that can stand on their own and then stop living in fear. If you instead endorse the kinds of idiotic actions some here propose, you're doing their work for them by making it all to easy for others to see you as a villain.

The insistence that everything is political is one of the key factors behind the decline of online and now offline discourse.

This is very true. Fortunately, the statement that "everything is political" is covered by the No Politics rule. ;)
