AYRT Oh, absolutely. And the phrasing of "problematic symbol" is just NOT IT. Nazi symbols aren't bad because they're """problematic""", they're bad because they're NAZI SYMBOLS.
Also, nobody's going to know EVERYTHING, but it also made me squint with how they said "just tell me next time" instead of something like "I'll be extra careful with my gif sources from now on and will do my research to know what to look out for". Like yeah there's still the possibility of making a slipup like that in the future but it feels like they're just saying they won't bother to research those symbols. (Plus, if you know anything about those symbols, its very hard to """accidentally""" post them, so I'm just.... side-eyeing them REALLY hard right now.)
Literally all they had to do is take down the signature and say "Sorry, I should have checked, and I'll be extra careful from now on" but instead they make it everyone else's responsibility to correct them?
People blocking them and complaining on a salt blog was like, the BEST outcome for them. Someone PMing them doesn't stop others from seeing and blocking anyway, plus it doesn't seem like something that would be appropriate for FR PMs. The knowledgebase even advises you to NOT engage with people you think are posting that stuff and instead report them immediately to staff.
