Why is Gen-OT such a cesspool of negativity?

Calls for genocide get ignored, those that criticize these calls get banned.
In short, the ones who spread negativity are forgiven, or outright encouraged, while the ones who discourage said negativity get banned."My successes are my own, but my failures are due to extremist leftist liberals" - Party of Personal Responsibility

Lack of moderation.

Yep. Out of curiosity, every once in awhile, I report something that is a clear violation of a specific rule just to see what happens. What happens? Nothing. Originally Posted by alabaster jones

Because the mods dont do shit.
They wont even consider IP bans despite the absolute fucking insane amount of alt accounts used to get around bans.
So, congrats MMO-Champion, you're one pile of shit above /pol/ at this point.

We live on an internet of dynamic IPs and cgNAT. IP bans are worse than useless. Originally Posted by Necroxis

I guess because the real world is also a cesspool of negativity, now add anonymity on top of that, and you have the gen-ot. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing though.

Not much moderation is a major issue.
Lots of members that strive to be toxic as hell.
We got linked as a bastion of "free speech" or some other bullshit a few years back that attracted a very bad kind of poster.
Anonymity, as Winter Blossom said.
Allowing trolls to keep trolling because they are vague enough to avoid being completely obvious. They have cracked down on people in the past, tennisball for one, but need to get a few others.
Last and most importantly, it is a cesspool because people come here for the cesspool at this point I feel. So instead of trying to be good posters, too many only come here to lowkey flame people and post "edgy" shit.

What amazes me is that some of these people have, on multiple occasions, bragged about being toxic on purpose and they're never flagged. Meanwhile, others will comment on the lack of moderation and for mentioning the lack of moderation will get infracted for it. Boggles the mind. Originally Posted by Algy

The mods are completely fucking useless. They're retarded as fuck and totally fucking impotent. A bunch of blind fucking morons would be more effective then the no-dick mods that are too big of fucking pussies to do a fucking thing about the constant alt-accounts and trolling and shit posting then not be useless fucking lumps of shit. The forums are going to total and complete shit because no dick pussy mods not doing shit. Originally Posted by callipygoustp

It's been that way for years. Mods obviously have bias towards certain topics and much like the police when you attempt to appeal an unwarranted infraction or ban the super mods who review the appeal always side with the mod. It's their website and they run it as they want to. Originally Posted by callipygoustp

I'm not surprised. I rarely notice it unless I'm bored enough to be browsing threads in a regular way. But when I do notice it... its shockingly obvious. Originally Posted by vindicatorx
