How strict are the rules here?

[Desu]

Hey guys! I'm an INTP-desu, and I'm new here. There are 3 reasons I'm on this forum.)

1. I got banned 3 times from Typology Central for reasons that don't make sense whatsoever. Misunderstandings if you insist.

2. I hate strict rules. I'm thinking, since this is a forum where people think like me and easily relate to me, they would also prefer to have freedom of speech.

3. I want to be understood. I don't know any INTP at all where I live. Ok, I know a few ENTPs, but it isn't the same...

I have 3 questions.

1. Is this forum run by INTPs as well? Or is it run by SJ cunts that aren't able to do anything else than ban everything that moves?
(If this is really an INTP forum, I don't have to mention that I don't want to offend anybody. Also, if this gets me banned, it proves this is in fact NOT an INTP forum.

2. I haven't found anything in the forum stating any strict rules. Does this forum support "freedom of speech"?

And 3. What happens to INTJs that believe they are the superior type? Just curious about that one (hehehe)...

people who seem to get banned are angry people who attack others because they can't understand them. i mean if you only want to discuss things thats fine but why get angry about it and start loosing the ability to communicate effectively. troll behavior is detectable just recognize if you become angry or vindictive because people can't understand you. recognize why people disagree with you.

also, general assertion of what people are(stereotypes) is a bad idea because it makes you look like you know who they are when you don't.

The worst type is ESxx

1. Based on your three posts, you are likely to get banned here as well, if you can't adapt. I thought central was more lenient, so if they had a reason to ban you then it will soon be evident here as well.

2. Freedom of speech doesn't extend to freedom of littering this place with garbage.

I suggest you stop relying on typism (if you do), because any accusations or insults of particular mbti type are not viable ways to argue. It is not funny to resort to this elementary school level fallacy.
Enjoy your stay.

Here are the always hard to find forum rules for you:

You probably won't get banned here, unless you create a history of making direct insults, or statements which carries obvious undertones of insult. The mods here are generally older, so they tend to be more lenient. All in all the mods here seem fair.

The prevalent atmosphere of this place is that we're all around a campfire, just talking about stuff. But if you do get out of line one of the mods, without much warning, will stab you [in the back]. Yes I mean that figuratively.

In any case I hope you enjoy your beer at the fire ^^ The lot of us are NTs.

As for your questions..:
1. I think so. Or at least NT-doms.
2. Yes
3. INTPs, imo, are superior.

 

[redbaron]

Are all SJs cunts or are all cunts just SJ?

Getting banned 3 times. Sure you're not just a slow learner?

Freedom of speech exists here alongside a healthy respect for the Harm Principle. Do you agree with the concept of the Harm Principle?

Do you hate strict rules just because they're strict or do you only hate strict rules that you would have disliked even if they weren't strict?

When you say that your banning would prove this isn't an INTP forum, which of the following do you mean:

- this forum is not suitable for INTPs?
- this forum is not made up exclusively by INTPs?
- the owner of the forum is not an INTP?
- that the act of banning you is not something any INTP would do, and if you're banned by someone who isn't INTP then this forum isn't a forum suitable for/made up exclusively of/the owner of which is not INTP?

Do you prefer cats or dogs?

Don't listen to the naysayers. Spicy posts are awesome. I don't care how controversial the topic is as long as I learn something new. That should be your number one priority. Start threads/write posts that introduce a new perspective on old issues that people are not likely to have heard before. Or maybe they've heard it before, but haven't really given it much deep thought because of preconceived bias. If you really are INTP though, it should be fairly obvious to you that making personal attacks during any argument is just a cop-out. Either your ideas are bulletproof, or they're shit. If your opponent resorts to ad hominem attacks, that means they feel they've lost and couldn't find a flaw in your argument. Otherwise they would've attacked it directly using evidence/logic. Going on typology-based pogroms is not going to advance your cause though.

Heh.

Welcome and best wishes. Just knock off the typism, insults, and sensor bashing that got you banned three times (which was explained to you) and be a little more objective here, and you should be fine

EDIT: For example, you've only made three posts here.
One of them was in this thread
http://intpforum.com/showthread.php?p=488016
and all you said is that ESxx are the worst type.

But that wasn't really the thread topic, and if you look at the rest of the posts, they are discussing functions and provide actual thought-out reasoning to explain why there might be friction or disinterest in particular functions. Your post was not rational nor explanatory, all you said is that you don't like ESxx people, and it doesn't even match the tone of the discussion. Break things down more and explain some reasoning regardless of your personal feelings, and you should be okay.

Your other post (besides the one starting this thread) was assigning RPG roles to types, and you used it as an opportunity to bash a few types you don't personally like. Again, jettison that personal stuff and focus on objectively exploring the topic.

 

[Hadoblado]

Do you think freedom of speech is an absolute? Is there any scenario you can think of where the things people say are of more harm than upholding the notion of free speech is worth?

 

[EditorOne]

Jeez. Denial of freedom of speech is something only a government is banned from doing. Internet forums, newspapers, are all privately run and each has its own goals and purposes, which the private organizers and sponsors of the forums and newspapers arrange to have carried out by proxy in the form of forum coordinators or monitors. It is not denial of freedom of speech to exclude comments from someone who wants to talk about growing turnips in a forum created to promote discussions about airplanes. Nor is it denial of freedom of speech to show the door to shit disturbers whose self-aggrandizing, self-indulgent disruptive comments detract from a forum's purpose.
Bars throw out drunks who detract from customer enjoyment of the bar. They throw out panhandlers, propagandists, those who are seriously unhygienic, and the mentally disturbed when the bar's success is compromised. That's pretty much the way this forum is run, and you need to be persistently contrary to get tossed out permanently, because there is recognition that INTP personalities can be slow on the draw in realizing they have given offense. Take it from there?

 

[TBerg]

One thing I will say, acknowledging that sometimes there are members that sometimes hurt group cohesion, is that holding only the government accountable to the principle of freedom of speech is a quite miserly thing to do. If freedom of speech were never to extend itself into the operations of other segments of society, then vast fields of inquiry would be on the chopping block even more than it is now.

Freedom of speech does extend into our culture as well, informing us proper etiquette in the process of debating truth claims. Without the principle, we would always be beholden to group conformity without having the means to challenge and advance society. When we become mired in controversy, if we follow the rules of logic and investigation, then the truth will always win. If you don't believe the scientific method is the proper way to uncover truth, then that just reveals the precarious state of your own intellectual standards.

Even the most vile, petty, mean spirited and inane opinion is an opportunity for us to rediscover what indeed makes the obvious so obvious in the first place. If we are not even able to understand the obvious, then what would that say about our understanding of everything else? So we ask ourselves how we know the sky is blue and whether millions of Jews were actually sent to the gas chamber under the assent of Hitler not because we want to destroy obvious truth but that renewing the controversy renovates the dreadful understanding in our own minds. We need to understand the obvious if we are to have a proper foundation for everything else. It also allows us to defend ourselves from nefarious attacks from nihilistic sophists. You don't want these people to have a greater intellectual arsenal than you do. We are all responsible for struggling against Orwellianisn every single day.

You'll get banned. Don't worry.

 

[Brontosaurie]

What makes "the government" special in the first place? Just a big landlord.

 

[TBerg]

People are more afraid of government because the government has all the tanks and helicopters and prisons.

I liken them to no different than a criminal associated gang, though much more successful and prestigious.

If owned the forum, I'd ban you just because you're so concerned about it.

 

[Cheeseumpuffs]

If this is really an INTP forum, I don't have to mention that I don't want to offend anybody. Also, if this gets me banned, it proves this is in fact NOT an INTP forum.

Yes, because all people who are "INTPs" will act and think exactly alike all other "INTPs" and if they decide to do something that doesn't align with this precise definition of their "type" then they are inferior and not who they think they are. Perfectly reasoned.

Here's a small tip (or maybe it's just my personal hope for how people could conduct themselves):
Don't take typology so seriously. Even if you take it as fact that they exist as understood, they're still very broad generalizations. Everyone's a unique little snowflake and all that.

You'll get banned. Don't worry.

lol

Me too


EDIT: This post came off a little mean (maybe not mean... sarcastic? snide?). That wasn't my intention. I'm just personally in a weird mood and I think I took it out a little on you. I wish you well and I'd very much like to get along with you. I just think treating typology as gospel is dumb and treating other people according to their "type" is even more so.
