You posted it on Reddit? Oh I forgot, it's not an omission if it's posted on Reddit, right? It sure looks like to me you are trying to justify your agenda.

@theCannyOnion: Before telling others what they should or should not say, why not take a look at the TOS yourself, which specifically prohibits personal attacks of other forum members. The request to tone down the political commentaries is not unreasonable, but publicly singling someone out and derailing the thread discussion is completely inappropriate. If you feel that someone's posts violate the TOS, then please report them to an admin, as I have done with yours.

Patience, grasshopper.

I'm merely airing my frustration at all the off-topic political discussions and flame wars surrounding the AlphaGo event, which all seem to have originated from Pookpooi, the only offender who hasn't been warned or banned. What I said needed to be heard by all: leave politics at the door, and take your extracurricular SJW activities to the off-topic forum. Thank you.

(Emphasis mine)

Please be more careful in your choice of insults. "SJW" is used by individuals wishing to insult feminist, LGBT and anti-racist activists. It has nothing to do with China.

Edit: apologies to you, Daal, for my earlier failure of quote nesting.

@TheCannyOnion, pookpooi, and others: This thread is supposed to be about AlphaGo's increase in strength - let's refrain from political discussion. I understand your concerns, TheCannyOnion, but the part that I disagree with is quoted below:



We do have a TOS, and it is the responsibility of admins to keep things on track. Admins can't always make everyone happy in their attempts to do this, so you should use the board reporting feature and/or PM to to express your concerns. The problem with voicing concerns to be heard by all is that the thread quickly becomes derailed by off-topic content, and it adds flame to the fire.

A more efficient way is to discuss the concerns offline, and we'll try to come up with a reasonable solution. That way, the thread content remains on-topic and relevant to the many other users that are reading these threads.

I am an admin, so if you have further points that you'd like to discuss about TOS violations and/or users, please send me a PM so that we can come to a satisfactory solution to your concerns.

Seems to be a nesting bug; wrong quote attributed to daal.

SJW? Now you're being political, as well as offensive.

Admins, please lock this thread (or rather just delete it). It is way off topic and does not deserve to be occupying space at the top of the thread-list in the Computer Go forum. I came here to read about AlphaGo, not to read a flame-war and political rants.

Good idea. Locked.
