New Rule: DNI (Do Not Interact) Lists are Banned

[Zeena]

would this mean eyestrain images are also against rules ?
asking more out of curiosity than anything else

i don’t think i got an answer on this so i’m bumping it

Anything eyestraining can be reported and staff will look into the situation. ^^
It really depends on the situation but if we agree it is eyestraining or otherwise might harm other users, especially those that are photosensitive, we will ask for it to be removed.

For example, people who require messages with their trades often make me incredibly anxious, yet there is no rule against requiring such a message. So I usually just c/p some "can't communicate" info over,if that is not message enough it's their problem.

Instead of a list,you could just politely ask not to bother you with the species you don't want to see or the issues you can't talk about. If they violate the rule and pester you, it is a matter for staff to deal with.

This thread has been riveting to read over the past while thank u staff. Full support on this for essentially every reason that's already been mentioned. Personally I really struggle to find DNIs yet alone read and remember every single one, I don't think they work at all or are necessary on a forum posting website. Everyone is responsible for curating their own experience online and strangers don't have to accommodate that outside of a basic level of respect and following the rules/terms outlined by the site.

I’m curious as to if staff could possibly sticky a thread/make an announcement on ways users can avoid their triggers(browser extensions, safe ways to tell people them, etc.) and maybe just a general internet safety refresher? I think this could help users struggling with the new change and just minors in general who haven’t grown up with internet safety like us oldies.

I'm aware there's already Forum posts about internet safety but I just wanted to make sure this suggestion isn't lost among all the others! A single post with a couple of browser extensions and other resources that stop autoplays of gifs/censor words might be really helpful for those trying to adjust to being on CS without a DNI : )

Does shinigami eyes work on chickensmoothie? It's a browser extension that shows you whether someone has spouted transphobia before, it's very useful for this purpose but I'm unsure if it works on all sites.

No, I don't believe so.

It's mentioned on the homepage:

"Which sites are supported?
This extension supports Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Tumblr, Medium, YouTube, Wikipedia articles, search engine results and all the sites with Disqus comments. "

I doubt it'll ever support small forums like Chickensmoothie, so unfortunately the only way to find transphobes on CS is hear-say or seeing a post before mods get to it

Aw, darn. That's unfortunate.

That seems like something that would invade privacy too, not to mention the broad thing of what counts as transphobic and not, and I don't think something that invades privacy would be allowed on CS anyways

Maybe it's just me, but someone being labeled by multiple people (pretty sure you need more than one report) based on their public posts doesn't seem like a privacy violation considering that stuff is quite literally not private.

Also, there's no way for a mod to tell if somebody is using a browser extension, so that is unenforceable unless they specifically add something to the site code that disallows it.

Digging up 10 year old posts and holding it against someone that changed is, but that's not something we should discuss here.
