By the way I’m just paraphrasing a problematic verse. Go and check yourself. Is it ok to link to hateful content?
Your rules though, noted.
- dang 5y agoWe crack down on religious flamewar regardless of which religion is being flamed or doing the flaming. This is one of the easier aspects of moderation, actually, because such flamewars are easy to identify and relatively easy to avoid. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=by%3Adang%20religious%20flamewar&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... It's common for people to believe that the community and/or the mods are biased against their side, but I can tell you for sure that anti-Christian rants aren't any more ok on HN than anti-any-other-religion rants. If you think you're seeing otherwise, the explanation is almost certainly a combination of: (1) People tend to notice what they dislike and put a stronger emphasis on it - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=by%3Adang%20dislike%20notice&sort=byDate&type=story&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... This leads to false feelings of generality - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=%22false%20feelings%20of%20generality%22&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... Usually the feeling is "the community (or mods) are biased against my side". Literally all sides end up feeling this. I guarantee you that people on the other side feel just as aggrieved about it. (2) We don't see everything that gets posted and it takes time to moderate what we do see - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=likeliest%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor.... Now I need to ask you again to stop posting religious flamewar comments because you just did it again. If you keep that up, we are going to have to ban you.
