Copypastas

Recently, there has been a significant spike in the usage of copypastas that include sensitive and political topics.

An example of such is shown in the following

“kill Preds, behead Preds, roundhouse kick Pred into the concrete, slam dunk a Pred baby into the trash can, crucify filthy Preds, defecate into Preds food, launch Preds into the sun, stir fry Preds in a wok, toss Preds into active volcanoes, urinate into Pred’s gas tank, Judo throw Preds into a wood chipper, twist Preds heads off, report Preds to the IRS, karate chop Preds in half, curb stomp pregnant Preds, trap Preds in quicksand, Crush Preds in the trash compactor, liquify Preds in a vat of acid, eat Preds, dissect Preds, stomp Pred skulls with steel-toed boots, cremate Preds in the oven, lobotomized Preds, mandatory abortions for Preds, grind Pred fetuses in the garbage disposal, drown Preds in fried chicken grease, vaporize Preds with a raygun, kick old Preds down the stairs, feed Preds to alligators, slice Preds with a katana”

Previously, I was given the following Note by a staff member for Bigotry

Rule 3 - Warning for Bigotry said this on the dropship ‘Launch MPs into the sun. Stir fry MPs in a wok. Toss MPs into active volcanoes. Urinate into a MPs gas tank. Judo throw MPs into a wood chipper. Twist MPs heads off. Report MPs to the IRS. Karate chop MPs in half. Curb stomp CMPs. Trap MPs in quicksand. Crush MPs in the trash compactor. Liquefy MPs in a vat of acid. Eat MPs. Dissect MPs. Exterminate MPs in the gas chamber. Stomp MPs skulls with steel toed boots. Cremate MPs in the oven. Lobotomize MPs. Mandatory abortions for MPs. Grind MP fetuses in the garbage disposal. Drown MPs in fried chicken grease. Vaporize MPs with a ray gun. Kick old CMPs down the stairs. Feed MPs to alligators. Slice MPs with a katana’ by daman453 (TrialModerator) on 2023-02-27 01:27:02

The reasoning given to me by another Moderator was that I was given the note for saying “Exterminate MPs in the gas chamber.” as a part of the copypasta.

Now, given that I was noted for Bigotry, which is defined as “obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction, in particular prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group” It would also be bigotry to be writing a Copypasta about Pred WL holders/Players. As these are directed at them. These Copypastas are quite literally an Unreasonable attatchment to an opinion in prejudice against people on the basis of them being included in the Pred WL.

That being said, it is unfair for select people to be noted for a copypasta, with reasoning that doesn’t coincide with the note they recieved, and then for others who do the same or similar things to not be noted.

I do agree with you. Consistency is key. However it is the problem of when people report it and when not.

Its not a reporting problem, as the mods can see it in OOC easily. Its a problem of Staff just not noting people for it. I made the Ahelp for this last night as someone was posting in OOC, and instead of noting the person that was posting it, they told me that “None of what they said is against the community rules, so they will not be getting a note”

I see. Then it is differential enforcement. I would contact the admins then. Not fair for you to get noted for saying the exact same thing.

Chat for a mod or any staff member can go 500 miles a minute especially when you have every form of chat including normal marine chat, dead chat, xeno chat, mod chat, debug logs, admin logs, logs XYZ etc…

If you see something say something, we do not catch everything. You think someone is being dumb with copy pastas send an ahelp

Our policy on copypastas in OOC is no spamming or 18+/toxicity/WGW and IC it shouldn’t be LRP or spammed
