blocking is fine

you don't ban people for either A) getting you attention or B) criticizing you in how you do your job.

I support blocking

blocking is muting @RikuTaka

it is an individual response

if you do that, you end up having to ban a quarter of the server and another quarter to a half leave.

Muting is something else.

yea thats why i said its pretty much the same

Guys calm down...

muting is usually something bots are used for

remove posting privileges from a user using roles

I wish we could use blocking as our method to stopping "hateful speech" instead of banning

what is hateful speech

who dictates that

It's subjective, that's the problem

^

Are we getting into the weeds of defining 'hate speech' again?

^

the individual, in the case of blocking, gets to determine that

I mean if we are talking about blocking and muting people for hate speech, then yes we are gonna have to define it

At least I don't have to care how the person using blocking defines hate speech.

I can block u right now

I hate the mute option.

It's like turbo timeout.

and it affects only me

something i think would be good for the server if we had active mods. but perhaps rather than make tim do anything, we as a community should make our own discord server, and if we desire we can focus it around a few core values and leave this place for tim to either leave to his monetary supporters, or to close.

that is what I am talking about

I don't think mute proves anyone right or wrong.

@Timcast If you do decide to nuke it can you give us a fair time frame to see if any of us want to put some duck in order. Cheers.

@Scribblehatch mute is usually good for settling things down

Mute's fine as long as there's a fiercely worded warning that goes along with it and explains expectations

WHY WAS I PINGED.

Seriously, nuking the server as in deleting it?

but if it's just a mute, then not so much

yes devpav

I just hate the idea of silencing someone because they made you upset

That's nuts.

I think that's some bitch ass shit

He's considering it

Well, so what
