This is none of those things. We're just preventing harassment, which has nothing to do with censorship.
FALSE, censorship pertains to the restriction of ANY expressive artform by an institution with more authority than the creator. This is censorship.
(Not saying censorship can't be justified.)
Originally posted by KoopsterJust to let it be known that Wakana has openly demonstrated that he doesn't enjoy people making fun of Gambly Night. It's fine if some of you didn't know this and ended up jumping into the bandwagon, but now that you all know, joking about it is going to be considered harassment.
From now on I'm going to consider my changed for the worst trophy harassment. So uh, stop harassing me SMWCentral.
1. Nope, you're incorrect. Pretty much any source checks out with my definition and not a super broad one? People can use the word how they want (like the concept of censorship in general is different) but I'm confident that in an official sense it does not extend that far in usage. Or more, it's about as weird to consider asking people not to engage in harassment as censorship as it would be to consider telling people not to murder someone in the name of their god a attack on freedom of religion. You could consider it censorship if the site rules deemed the content of the post obscene (sure, we censor nsfw content here, due to the number of minors who use the site). But this is pertaining to a different rule being broken?
2. Assuming this was an actual legal case or similar, you'd have to be able to prove that X is actually causing you enough harassment to justify action, you can't just say it is and get whatever you want lol.
That said let's not turn this thread off topic with this. This goes for everyone still bringing this up, including me, other staff, users, etc.
