This is exactly how it should work: consumers expressing displeasure with his business decisions and he can choose how to respond. <br />3. Maybe you are from elsewhere, but here a business does not have the right to do whatever they want. There are many anti discrimination, antitrust, anti-price fixing, anti gouging laws and the like. <br />Doc Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08783244633195233970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-78765074602314295922016-03-24T06:33:58.917-03:002016-03-24T06:33:58.917-03:00This comment has been removed by the author.Omer Golan-Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09242085820257230639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-35072185372621211712016-03-24T06:26:15.110-03:002016-03-24T06:26:15.110-03:00This comment has been removed by the author.Omer Golan-Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09242085820257230639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-18099183386672398352016-03-24T01:54:00.535-03:002016-03-24T01:54:00.535-03:00I think it's all about appeasement.
It's ...I think it's all about appeasement. <br />It's about a business model that prevents almost any harm to OBS.<br /><br />There is those ugly "report button" ... to let people voice their concern. If used, there will be a fast review which almost always will reinstate the product. <br /><br /><br />Why to use the "system"?<br />Because OSB can tell the squallers: "We listen to you. We do consinder your concerns." And in the next turn: "... but we do not share your judgement. And no, we can't give you criteria, because we review on a case by case basis and many layers need to be taken into account."<br /><br />The affected publisher may - at first - be shocked about the report. While communicating with OBS (s)he will get the impression: OBS is caring.<br />In the End: Both parties might not be happy - but they might not be unhappy enough to leave OBS.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong: taking down products might happen, but rather not from famed publishers. I'm not sure if OBS would need to unse multible standards. There might be pawn sacrifices and there might be protégés.<br /><br /><br />In the end the goal is clearly something like "neither LotFP nor evil hat should have enough reasons to leave. It might set off an avalanche."<br /><br />Futhermore ... of course OBS will use "professionalsim" as a sword.<br />http://www.sarahdarkmagic.com/content/using-professionalism-sword <br /><br />I think it's important to OBS neither party "to win".<br />Athairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712487007746911491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-54021973834841963432016-03-23T19:42:35.517-03:002016-03-23T19:42:35.517-03:00World of darkness has some crazy shit in it.

We are supposed to be SO ignorant as to not understand what's happening here?<br /><br />White Wolf = In Crowd - Fascist "In" Crowd/Click<br />Alpha Blue = OSR Crowd - Some peeps making games they like for others who like what they're making.<br /><br />This is a simple engineered weapon to ruin those who are not in the "in" crowd plain and simple. It is not to protect anyone (it's behind the adult filter which DOES not display unless you are logged in AND you have removed the filter...). It is not to create a safe space, OBS stores are filled with controversial material including stories, comics and RPGS. It certainly is not adjudicated fairly as is obvious by the TONS of controversial material that remains.<br /><br />Let's review the stupid fascist report model;<br /><br />1. EVERYTHING not reported is fine. Default. Please use adult filters, at your discretion.<br />2. When something is reported it is WRONG. It must be taken down to be reviewed. The act of reporting penalizes the publisher immediately with lost sales.<br />3. IF the company decides the product is not offensive, it's goes back up. No compensation to the publisher.<br />4. IF the company decides the product IS offensive, it stays banned. WHICH for the kids at home not keeping score, is SO GODDAMNED HYPOCRITICAL that several alternate universes were just annihilated with the wave of injustice, outrage and stupidity.<br /><br />I have suggested many times; to simply create a handful of more specific adult filters. Ones that filter out specific subjects so those so inclined can avoid them. Why not do this?<br /><br />Simple.<br /><br />This is not about offensive material. it's about assassinating publishers who don't tow the line (or worse, are not in the "in" crowd).<br /><br />Fucking.
