I'm out of gafs.
Cancel Culture. The topic of mods banning posters is now the biggest political issue on the right.

By “take the law into your own hands”, you mean directly chide someone who’s out of line yourself on a discussion forum?
Yeah...I’m a regular Charles Bronson. :-/

Nah. I do note those paid mouthpieces who offer little value though.

Whine on. Just don’t pretend you don’t do it. That’s just about all you do.

Nope. No whining and precisely ZERO instances of ever reporting other posters. Not a single one.
As you were - no more time for you.

and that can end up making you the perpetrator as far a moderation goes.
That reminds me of the review for Death wish 4
I don't believe the studio released a film this bad.
It had to have escaped on its own.
Bugsy McGurk

Nonsense. You openly “report” them every time you post, whining about them and whining about why they’re allowed to post.
Give it a rest.

The internet was created by the Defense Dept. So, by default it is a military weapon. Yet the govt gave it to us without rules or supervision and no instructions on how not to destroy ourselves with it.
All we have to protect us from ourselves is moderation.

When I was a kid I loved those horrible, cheesy movies. Bad acting, bad writing, horrible soundtracks...but other than that it was all good.

We ban users for not following the rules which the users here created. Has nothing to do with cancelling and was created before cancel culture became mainstream.

Cancel vs ban
What is the difference between the two ?
Hey, I just saw this stupid hat - what does a revenge tour mean - more cult member's being held down - censored ? I am sure the local cult base members will put this on looking for someone to comment and then cry on a message board. You might as well stamp "gullible" on your forehead but hey, they are only 24.99 !
cancelling you are trying to ruin someone. temp banning them is putting them in timeout.
but you are a smart guy and you knew that.

So its really banning culture and not cancel culture that is the biggest issue right now on the right ?Cancel is some gobbledygook.. ban...you can't come post here for a time
Either way we are still talking about the same thing.
I think the issue is whether moderators should have the right to curtail speech or should there be rules against what moderators can or can not moderate on websites ?

There is nothing new about that. Especially when people are famous. The road to fame has always been littered with people who had their careers and personal lives ruined because they exposed a part of themselves they had hidden from the public.
The same goes for those trying to be famous. You put out a public statement or announcement under your own name and identity. You are asking to be famous for what you said. And, if the statement goes wrong, then you get treated like the famous are treated, well the bad part of being treated like you are famous at least.
So it seems to me that the turmoil surrounding cancel culture on the right is that they are upset that people don't like what they say and react to it in negative fashions that are harmful to them and people on the right believe they are entitled to a better reception for their comments.
