Locking threads... "What is really suppression?"

Look at the "Suppression" thread, and see the irony of it being locked for supposedly being 'off topic'?

I ask, what would need to happen, before you would deem that suppression?

(And I would not be surprised if this gets locked too, but know that this has the on-topic topic, of; "What is really suppression?" ...

Here's some examples of Shroomery suppression.

Suppression, for example, would be ignoring the point another Shroomerite is trying to make, and instead picking on their grammar.

Suppression is putting a Shroomerite who wants to apologize on Ignore, so the apology can't be sent via PM.

Suppression is when a Mod repeatedly gets the LAST WORD IN before locking threads... so nobody else can reply to his post.

Suppression is when a Mod locks a thread because it is Off Topic... even though the Mod participated in the derailment of the thread from the start.

Suppression is ignoring support tickets.

Suppression is banning somebody... anybody... from a forum or from the whole website.

Sometimes Shroomery suppression serves, "The greater good"... but when you are subjected to supression it can be very hard to see the light.

People who feel they have been suppressed tend to overcompensate when thy are given the opportunity to communicate, once again... and often the suppressor neglects to respect a suppressed person's need to vent.

That's all I can think of at the moment. I hope it helps. This discussion does have some philosophical value... as long as it doesn't become too personal.

Personally, I dislike suppression, depression, oppression, repression, and general authority.

I unlocked the "suppression" thread, please let me know if there is anything I can do to make this forum more liberated.

Viva La Shroomery! :superkitty:

Suppression carries with it negative connotations, but the word itself is neutral and suppression is simply a natural act that directs the course of reality.

Important questions regarding suppression are how the act is committed, and what the motivations for doing so are.

In philosophical discussion, it is always preferable to suppress an idea or perspective by countering it with an alternate viewpoint. In some situations, a poster will utilize the guise of an "on-topic idea" for discussion as a trojan horse to put forth a viewpoint that is not in accordance with the purpose and intention of the forum.

In this example, a thread is created to question the judgement of a moderator, an act that is not what this forum was created for (personalizing the discussion and utilizing the forum to question the personal nature of other posters is rightfully disallowed, not to mention that it circumvents the ability of the moderator to effectively act in the best interest of the forum when necessary). The poster feels they are entitled to utilize this forum improperly. As they couldn't simply create a thread that directly calls into question the action carried out by the moderator, they try to put it in context of a more general topic, that is permissible underneath the forum's guidelines.

:imslow:

Of course, their underlying intention is altogether clear, because there would have been no need to refer to the act carried out by a moderator in question if they were only interested in discussing the idea of suppression in general.

They express that they would not be surprised if this thread was locked as well, because they are knowingly engaging in behavior that was explicitly preconceived to not be permitted in this forum, and project it as some fault of the individual elected to take action when necessary to maintain the purpose and intention of the forum.

Apparently they think such a bait and switch tactic is clever, but it is pretty childish. :thumbdown:

When a thread in the appropriate Feedback Forum is locked, Support Tickets and PMS are ignored, one tries to to get somewhat creative.

As per the previous year's drama, a simple direct answer would circumvent all such nonsense, but none was forthcoming, such was the overwhelming fear of open and honest discusssion as the true motivation would be revealed.

I agree with everything you said FG.

In a perfect forum however, there would be a RELIABLE place to publicly vent, and get a response to grievances. Since there really is none here... these veiled threads are commonplace. They do serve a purpose.

In the past, FG, even you have used such silly tactics... by participating in veiled threads yourself... and you did it again here.

It seems people in P&S like to discuss how they are moderated and treated, as much as they like to discuss Philosophy and Spirituality. Seems, a Mod's beliefs about Moderation are as interesting to the P&S masses, as a Mod's beliefs about god.

'tis a unique forum.

I know the Mods in here can be reached via PM... and they are more than happy to respond... but this forum likes to see its Moderators sweat... and deal with these issues in public. And, Mods who can handle it well, only look better in the eyes of the P&S community.

It is sorta' like an initiation ritual... although to some Mods it may feel more like a hazing.

I'll never understand why this forum works the way it does... but it does work.
