> I worked with a well know hacker
Holy shit, we've got a confessed security risk on our hands! Ban immediately, before bastardoperator hacks us all!
"Think of the children" is consistently used as an escape hatch to avoid actually doing due diligence in enforcement and moderation. You aren't protecting anyone by lazily granting root to content moderation / surveillance / whatever system is under discussion. You're just making those systems worse.
Say I post a picture of my young child running around in a diaper to a family/close friends discord channel.
It gets flagged as CP because algorithms lack nuance.
Should I be permabanned for this?
Are we just not allowed to share photos of children online at all unless they are clothed head to toe? Maybe that's our current cultural norm, but that seems like an excessive measure for a society where most people aren't child predators.
That said, yeah, actual CP should still be a permaban. We all agree on that. But treating it as a cut-and-dried example illustrates exactly what hnaccount141 was saying when they said "these large-scale moderation systems (automated or human) tend to lack nuance and context-awareness, leading to false positives"
Not only that, you're doing that to satisfy the curiosity of someone you've decided you don't want anywhere near your site. I'd be on board with your line of argument if it involved a payment of $X to cover out-of-pocket expenses and the hassle of dealing with BS.
However in this instance they (Discord) would have no reason to care about what you want, so saying that you want something is really no argument.
Dropping a racial slur? Nah, I'd let that be a 1-hour timeout that begins the next time you try to send a message.
As someone else said, teenagers like to test boundaries and be edgy. Show them where the boundaries are and let them have a chance to correct their behavior.
