Progressive Politics, Gun Control, Single Payer Healthcare and Free Abortions for All!

In 1897, you raped me in a tavern. It's now a fact you were accused of rape. Do you see the problem with accusations, and why it's innocent until proven guilty?

Also, if accusations were evidence by themselves, that's all anecdotal evidence, so a double failure.

Also also, I don't usually gripe about sources, it's mostly just sea lioning, but Kill On Sight? Really?

Tldr: Moderating is hard, and I accidentally gave myself a hard goal of not being a powertripping mod.

I made this community trying to prevent myself from becoming a powertripping mod. I wanted clear rules, warnings, short bans for good reasons, no bias, all that good stuff.

Then came borderline stuff, and I let it slide. Then came slowly escalating threads where it was unclear if I should ban both or one or none. Then came this and that, all of which hard to judge.

So I thought about things, rewrote rules, tried to explain myself, even got Peepin as a mod. (The rules have never really changed, I just suck at communicating them to the point I think everyone is confused).

All I really wanted a community with conservative posts that everyone could discuss, but my god is that simple concept hard to communicate properly.
