Whatever the case, the pain/offense/fear etc. is real. So posting a public punishment is a chance for us to take a stand as a league against hate speech and that can give those impacted a chance to feel supported, regardless of whether every person knows the exact content of the message.(03-23-2023, 11:57 AM)Reedy0rNot Wrote: This is such a weird place. You let us know that you’ve punished someone. But then when we ask why or what was said. you say it’s not important or it’s hurtful. Then why bother telling us someone was punished.
In this thread itself, no one from HO has said anything about it being not important/hurtful. We don't say the messages because we would just be spreading what was said onto the forum and immortalising it by having it written down, especially a case where inthe same message, they were asking to get banned from it. Realistically, anyone that seriously wants to know what was said, will very easily be able to find someone who will tell them what it is, and that can't and won't be stopped. But i would return serve and say why is it so important to know what exactly was said? Are you asking becuase you just want to know, or is there a reason you feel it should be widely spread and posted exactly what viscous and hateful language was used?
But to think on your later statement "why bother telling us", well what would you prefer? Someone has to drop off the face of the earth for no reason, no GM's are allowed to know what type of event went on and if they did something that is servery hampering of their draft stock or perception of a user compare, or the more.
Genuinely would like to see a reply to this to hopefully understand your side and why you think we should do differently.
