this is not the thread to discuss microaggressions
This is a thread to talk about RWBY. So discuss RWBY and RWBY-related topics.

Let's avoid future derails please and thank you.

 

[kokuenDG]

calm the heck down
If you're gonna talk about the show, then talk about the show.

But stop trying to bite each other's heads off. There's no reason for it and if this nonsense continues no one's gonna have a good day.

warnings to stop a pattern of behaviour do not mean 'keep going'.

Casually accusing other users of misogyny because they happen to hold a different opinion on an animated TV show is not acceptable on Sufficient Velocity. As @LilithFairen has received previous infractions for this exact behaviour on this exact topic as recently as yesterday, they have been issued a permanent threadban and been infracted with 50 points under Rule 3 - Be Civil.

why do we have to keep coming back to this thread?
Accusing a company of believing that all militaries and their soldiers are fascists and thugs is, among other things, fairly hateful and entirely disruptive to the main topic of the thread.

There's no real reason for this. Yes, you can calmly discuss the interpretations of the military based on their portrayals in Rooster Teeth's media, but going on a crusade to try and push the opinion is very much not the way that things should be discussed. With that in mind, the user has been permanently booted from the thread.

As for everyone else...please stay on your best behavior. You are all here to discuss a series, not to start shouting matches with each other and accuse others of misogyny, or accuse a company of hating militaries, or any of the recent events that have come out of this thread.

So...yeah. Please just keep the rules of the site in mind when you discuss RWBY related topics.

this is not the thread for this.

Let's just stop this right here. It ain't the thread for it, move along - I don't want to have to come back to this thread for the third time in as many weeks to throw people out.

 

[kokuenDG]

so gotta few things that need to be said real quick.
We get a lot of reports from this thread. A lot of it is just a series of people yelling at each other over arguments that have been rehashed hundreds of times since the end of the recent Volume. And I get that the last Volume - and RWBY in general, really - has some controversial moments that people will want to discuss, argue about, debate, etc.

That's fine. We're not going to stop people from doing that, because that's literally what the point of the thread is. However, there's just a point where it gets to be a bit too much, and arguments about whether or not Ironwood was morally justified in his actions in the recent Volume, or if RWBY and her team were in the right for withholding information from Ironwood out of distrust, or whatever flavor of argument of the day descend into insulting other posters, expressing a demeaning attitude towards other's opinions, and just being overall unpleasant. That tends to happen a lot in this thread. We want it to stop happening in this thread.

So! As of now the thread is in a higher state of moderation. What that means is that any future infractions will result in a weeklong boot from the thread, and repeated offenders will likely be permanently removed. So please, everyone endeavor to actually respect the other's arguments, and even if you strongly disagree with them please stay civil and mindful when it comes to responding to others.

In addition, users should refrain from talking about off-site users in the thread. Bear in mind that this does not mean that you cannot continue to post tumblr posts, for example, that add onto the discussion in the thread, with the caveat that it's related to RWBY of course. But any objections to offsite users in the thread should be handled via PM, or they'll be treated as thread violations and infracted as such.

 

[kokuenDG]

just a small reminder that respecting other users is a rule here, even if you disagree with them.
And that those that aren't doing so will get a weeklong threadban. So please mind what you post, and refrain from insulting others for their views.

there's been a thread policy update
Lately we've been getting more and more reports about how users are using SV as a place to talk negatively about people off-site that are in the RWBY community, whether it be because of personal enmity or because that person is a notably negative force in the RWBY community. Now, while this isn't inherently against the rules of the site, it's happened enough for us to believe that it's a become a notable problem, especially when the topic of the thread is rapidly shifted towards these off-site users instead of RWBY. So!

In an addition to the current thread policy, from here out users should refrain from talking about off-site users in the thread. Bear in mind that this does not mean that you cannot continue to post tumblr posts, for example, that add onto the discussion in the thread, with the caveat that it's related to RWBY of course. But any objections to offsite users in the thread should be handled via PM, or they'll be treated as thread violations and infracted as such.

Again, you can still continue as normal. But if you see someone posting content from a problematic off-site user please just PM them, and try to keep the in-thread discussion related to RWBY.
