>Howevar my point stands, it's not a baseless fear that influx of such "foreign" cultures could influx erode our culture if we don't get involved for any innocently rule breaking user beyond warning/deleting posts in possible future cases.
I disagree that moderation needs to go beyond warning/deletion when a rule breakage is clearly accidental or unintentional. What's the point in banning a user for such a thing besides temporarily lowering Heyuri's activity level, or permanently if they decide to leave because of it?

Obviously it's a different matter if it's an intentional/egregious rule breakage or the user keeps breaking the same rule after the warning/deletion

Regarding "foreign" cultures: the "foreign" culture here is the one demanding that Heyuri users who don't fit some kind of 4chan-derived mold get B& from Heyuri, or harassing them until said users leave of their own volition. That's a far bigger threat to Heyuri's culture than one autistic girl with a cartoon frog fetish, who's mere existence provides LOLs and can be easily reined in at any time when it goes too far

The "users I don't like = unwanted foreigners" mindset is far more pervasive and detrimental to us in the long term, and it's nearly impossible to get rid of once it gains momentum. At that point, Heyuri would be doomed to end up as a handful of grouchy "True Scotsmen" repeatedly telling each other to GTFO for not meeting all 9001 aspects of their personal criteria. I've seen it happen :dark:

>but I liekd your quote in 2022
In that quote I was obviously talking about the kinds of garbage that came with the laissez-faire moderation Vidlii had at the time - extremism/radicalization/illegal material, ultra low-quality "meme videos", users being the type of people who reply to everything with "cringe" or "kys", etc. - things that destroy fun on the internet

I've used the "weeds in the flower garden" analogy in relation to Heyuri since 2020, and at no point was it directed towards users who are a bit different but are still making contributions, are trying to stick to the rules, and aren't trying to cause trouble. At most, I've complained in the past about certain underage users in 2022 using the Oekaki board as their personal dumping ground for no-effort scribbles - and that was more of a flooding/"board domination" issue than anything else

...the fact I also thought their material was mostly unfunny and lame was just a matter of personal taste and opinion, but I didn't think they should leave the site because of it - instead I appreciated their enthusiasm and tried to teach them how to make better material :wink:

You can make a similar "personal dumping ground" argument against Sweet Emo during her manic frog-posting episodes, but it hasn't happened as much recently and has never been on the same level as the scribbles thing
