Adopt a moderation policy for matrix room

Akshay Public Seen by 82

Started this in loomio by mistake.

I think the Matrix room needs to be moderated. The following content should be removed by any admin:

1) Spam

2) Off-topic messages

3) Personal attacks and harassment

I think it should be left to the discretion of admins to define what that constitutes.

I think we can build a code of conduct to cover codema as well. Probably build on https://fsci.in/code-of-conduct/ This would enable anyone in the group to decide if something is crossing what is acceptable. We should also probably define how to respond in cases of violation.

2 and 3 are relative and should be well defined to avoid ambiguity.

banning should be the last resort in my opinion, we can try muting members instead. also, what if a permanent members violate CoC?
Preamble of the Indian Pirates Constitution mentions this:

Once you become a member you cannot be expelled from the group for indiscipline, a common tactic used by all parties to suppress dissent.

If a permanent member does not follow CoC, the only option we have is to create another group without that person.

Pirate Praveen Sun 21 Mar 2021 7:21AM

OK, we can change that to "muting for a week, a month and a year in progression for repeating and a ban after that". Does codema has a mute option?

How is this different from the biased moderation policy of social media groups like Facebook that your own political party wants to avoid?

Pirate Praveen Mon 22 Mar 2021 7:30PM

I think at least two permanent members should agree to mute or removal. One should propose and another one should agree before taking the action.

Pirate Praveen Mon 22 Mar 2021 7:30PM

Also we should be specifically say warning one, two and three for specific violations.

Pirate Praveen Mon 22 Mar 2021 7:40PM

It is different because we decided the rules based on consensus here. Everyone got a chance to participate in making that rule and if that does not work, they get a chance to propose changes, just like how you proposed it.

in the List of At Indian Pirates we recognize that there are many dimensions of diversity and this may include, but is not limited to:

The word Race is used this is an ideological word and in scientific terms and based on all Facts when talking about Humans we have no Races so the word Race schould be removed and replaced with Racism.

Alteration of the biased moderation policy. Closed Sat 24 Apr 2021 9:00AM

Compelling anyone to change their language for gender sensitive individuals is a direct violation of the free speech that this party proclaims to instill. Gender pronouns is derived from sociological circles without scientific premise and Roman history has already witnessed its own transgenderism movement right before its collapse.

The individuals and the admins who submit to the notion that 'Gender is a social construct' are the ones that claim for compelling pronoun use.

Here's the Coc under question

Inclusive Language:

Use inclusive language whenever possible.

Unless the gender of a singular personal antecedent is otherwise specified, use the gender-neutral singular pronouns “they”, “them”, “their”, and “theirs”.

Avoid using “he” as a universal pronoun; likewise, avoid using binary alternatives such as “he/she”, “he or she”, or “(s)he”.

Use “humankind”, “humanity” or “human race” instead of “mankind”.

Use “artificial” or “human-caused” instead of “man-made”.

Use “everybody” or “people” instead of “guys”.

Rather than this being an act of inclusiveness, it is an act of compulsion without its grounds in science.

Here's a study that disproves that Gender is a social construct. (See attachment)

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/icd.2064

Failing to disprove the tenets of this study should signify that the whole gender neutrality phenomenon is removed from Coc on the grounds of being unscientific. Disagreeing to this poll would require you to submit a reasonable source or study with enough sample size that proves otherwise. News articles and metaphysical jargon of blogs isn't appreciated. Your vote wouldn't count if you fail to do the above.

Do you agree that forcing pronoun use is a form of compelled speech which is antithetical to the basic principles of the party?
