[@Inkarnate] What I'm gathering from your "logic" is that sharing screenshots is perfectly okay as long as we enter a knee-jerk panic-response about how dangerous the screenshot's contents are.

And/or as long as I'm snitching to a mod and not to [insert person who mods dislike here].

This is pretty pathetic even as far as mental gymnastics go, seeing as how it's an eloquent, dressed up way of saying "as I say, not as I do."[/quote]
Is this the mob now? No, it isn’t. If you want to make an ‘analogy’, this is more to the point of where a concerned citizen sent a report of disruptive behavior. You’re right that this is a situation of “snitching”, but I don’t see reporting issues as so inherently negative as you do. Again, this is false equivalency not a double-standard scenario.

[quote=@Nytem4re]Could you not argue that the taker of that screenshot was worried about the "dangerous precedent" this was setting? It suggested that he was going to shadowban anyone who weren't positive.[/quote]
I get that everyone has concerns about the suggestion of making it more difficult for troublemakers to utilize the site, but that’s simply a difference of policy thought. I personally don’t disagree with the notion of “if they are causing trouble, remove their ability to post status updates, they keep being a repeat offender do more to impede them”. It’s no different than a message board I’ve been on in the last two decades where moderators remove posting privileges from offending users for a temporary amount of time. I don’t see the problem – but some people do for a variety of reasons, which is [i]fair[/i].
