They really should just shut the fuck up and be grateful staff didn't catch the reports before self removal.

Because Nazi symbols are no tolerance ban items.

their pcyt post (archived it a couple days ago) where they were whinging (and vagueposting) about people reporting them for using a nazi symbol is gone, so i dont know if they deleted it themself or staff pruned it for vaguely being related to hate symbols and moderation decisions

but yeah this all couldve been avoided with a quick "i'm really sorry, i didn't notice and i promise i'll be more careful with my sources in the future"
but like you said, hate symbols are zero tolerance ban items. i don't know if the mods will nuke them or not, considering the rule is:

This includes but is not limited to content or links to content which promotes discrimination or hatred of or insultingly refers to:

Any race, nation, or culture
Any aspect of sexual orientation or gender identity
Religions or religious figures
Real-world political figures
Physical or mental disabilities

This also includes any content or LINKS TO CONTENT (emphasis mine) which promote genocide or fascism. These are not allowed as they are based on hatred and the elimination or subjugation of other races, cultures, religions, sexuality, identity, or disability. Any account found promoting these will be closed without warning and without the option for appeal.

which makes me think of a few things
they could try their "i really didn't know" excuse, which honestly still doesn't seem like it would fly going by the wording of the rule? like sure, maybe they didnt MEAN to promote it, but they still put a hate symbol in their sig and the blog name was in the source
being a senior in high school is WAY too old for them to be doubling down like this publicly. if they made this mistake at 13, 14, 15, maybe i'd believe they were just stupid, but if you're a senior in high school you HAVE to be mature enough to know and accept how you fucked up and that people aren't obligated to coddle you (esp when they have reason to think you are a nazi).

maybe they wouldn't go straight to a nuke since IR has "plausible deniability" but instead an escalated penalty? because they DID still post a hate symbol and respond inappropriately to people expressing discomfort. i dunno i'm just rambling at this point.

sidenote why are pyct regulars so annoying. does this forum have a pyct specific salt/quarantine thread or what because so many people there are the most annoying people everrrr

The general discussion boards in general attract a lot of terminally online young people, especially the PCYT thread. Which has had to be temporarily locked how many times now? Because people were being way too personal on it? Just a lot of kids who need some off screen time.

Not to downplay the heinousness of the situation but it would have been really funny if someone PM’ed them like:

"Hi there. I noticed in the PYCT thread that you said "I just really hope nothing bad happens to this at this rate", which contains wording that makes it sound like preserving your reputation is more important than making FR an inclusive space. You may want to remove this post to prevent any issues."

Lol

LMAOOOOO

Can I ask what PYCT is? I tried looking it up, but I might be bad at searching.

post your current thought

it's a thread in general discussion. staff have locked the topic a few times in the past because people chronically overshare and trauma dump about IRL stuff

Ah. I don't really go there that often, oops. Thanks! I did try looking it up and it's the name of a stock so I was a bit confused lmao.
