Is there a new standard?

[texassapper]

I guess I'd like to see proof supplied that Trump is Hitler every time a post alluding to that is posted...

You know, since the Mods are now expecting evidence to be posted for every assertion.

When was the term Moderator redefined to be fact checker?

[Yssup Rider]

This is what aboutism.

And support of trolling.

And why is fact checking unimportant to you? If you want to “win” a debate, you need to prove you’re right. You’re merely complaining here because you apparently don’t care about the truth.

Works for presidential debates, why not here? Bad fact checking is all the rage.

Likely not. My guess is that it’s enforcement of an old standard. In fact it says it right in the message you posted.

OP should be reminded that Troll Accounts are Not Permitted on Eccie

Trolling is like pornography. You’ll know it when you see it. Obviously with the post in question it was one too many and action was taken.

When the comparisons to Hitler are undeniable..... well if the shoe fits

Sometimes staff gets frustrated with all of our bickering they step in.
It's happened to me yssup and most in this adult daycare forum

So what you're saying is that truth isn't important to you.

Stand for nothing and you'll fall for anything.

Let's make truth the new standard.

[HoHound]

Black Lives Matter aren't Democrats? The George Floyd riots weren't advocated by Democrats? Wow! Eccie has just exposed themselves.

[VitaMan]

Poster above should realize troll accounts are not permitted on ECCIE.
That has nothing to do with censoring free speech.


Also note your thread and post still exist, but has been edited.


Trolling definition:

"intentionally posting provocative, offensive, or disruptive content online with the goal of provoking an emotional reaction, stirring up arguments, or causing chaos, often by posting things they don't believe just to get a reaction from others"

Sort of like how Trump is Hitler and is re-enacting Mine Kampf?
Or how Star link cheated in the 2024 election?
Or how God loves a rapist (Trump again)?
Or Trumps buddy is Putin?

I see a great deal of trolling on here as well that is NEVER responded to by the MODs in a similar manner.

I get it.

Their site, their rules.

I just hope to see the same amount of intervention in posts claiming MAGA or Trump is doing X,Y, or Z, if these are the new standards

Have you taken a good look at HoHound’s threads? In my opinion he’s been given lots of leeway in the past to put up some absolute trolling posts. Usually about black or brown or transgender people.

A little push back every so often might be called for. None of my threads have been called out but I’ve been pointed plenty. Whether I thought it was fair or not it certainly made me stop and think twice before posting a comment.

There's fact checking here?
And, for Presidential debates?
Seriously?
What qualifies as fact checking?

Btw, is there such a thing as fact checking for politicians?
Or does the next statement of whatnot come out quickly enough so that there's no time to fact check earlier statements.

[Yssup Rider]

What's your point?

That's the bigger question here.

You don't generally post bullshit misinformation, UC. Not intentionally. So are you saying it just doesn't matter why something is true or not?

MAGAs are posting silly shit all over this site. No link necessary.

Astute query YR.

Correct, we are listening to politicians are we not?
Btw, why, or if, true or not, is disregardable with politicians.
They will spin their statement tomorrow.
So how can any standard be applied consistently?
