I just had to remove about 15 posts, (and someone kept making new accounts) from atlantic and variety, from people claiming we’re homophobic?

I just added a harsher signup and posting timeout as a short fix, which I don’t really like doing, but I have shit to do today and I have no choice.

edit: To clarify the mod policy here, homophobia / transphobia is a bannable offense.

I wouldn’t hesitate to remove explicitly homophobic or racist posts, and I don’t hesitate to remove western propo either (at least for now, until we decide what sectarianism is allowed here)

    Homophobia is bad and we should fight it always. But signing up to a site and making baseless accusations is not the way to do that.

      I’m not agreeing with everyone else that just doing this automatically counts as homophobic, but the modlog is public. People can see what’s happening.

        Then lets have a discussion about it. Brigading is not going to solve this issue.

          I’m not one of the people brigading, just pointing it out. The articles were first removed before all this started.

            Sorry I got confused between all the brigaders, and I didnt check your profile or anything.

        I dont know why he initially deleted that post, but it was reposted like 10 times, and that is definitely not the right way to handle a disagreement. Neither is brigading from another site.
