This idea that we're constantly banning games and have some huge banlist is nonsense. It's just porn games, that's all.DinkyDev wrote:Yeah, porn games is obvious...

That was literally it, there was no other reason. It was literally making Etc unreadable. If it's actually newsworthy in some way then make a thread, it's fine. We never banned positive AI threads and we never banned negative ones either, they just got an OT because nothing else was showing up on the Etc feed while we allowed it.
Potter we literally sent out a huge notice to the entire site, same with CP. If there's a sequel to CP then we'll evaluate that on it's own merits.
What I'm saying is, it's really not hard to avoid getting a thread locked.Grue wrote:I think what you're asking for DinkyDev is a list of banned topics, or topics with specific rules around them.
I don't think there is one that's up to date, and comprehensive. Maybe someone can advise if I'm wrong.
I believe the last dedicated thread for this was the policy update log and that
a) Doesn't clarify some of the stuff you might get in trouble for (no mention of Cyberpunk, sports betting, banned sources, etc)
b) Has been locked and not updated since May 2023
Someone will definitely update me if I am wrong and badly out of touch though!
B-Dubs ignores the "or special rules around them", again, to insist things that are quarantined aren't banned.
Also stop asking for a ban list it puts them in danger. Just intuit it!

Also, once again, we're not putting out a list of banned sources because that's how harassment campaigns against staff get started.
Highly amused that this is still going and they still haven't really explained why sports betting can't have its own thread and it just needs to infect every other sports topic instead.
Just make all those threads and quote bdumbs' posts in the OP.
Do it you pussies!
