Good evening, my little ponies! As part of a staff initiative to be more transparent and accessible to users, we are publishing our Ponyville Transparency Report!

https://docs.google.com/document/d/13FQ7OLp1-kcFBNNCB9lfzFKxh-r8StQy3b3nzYHHviE/edit?usp=sharing

We will try to do this monthly! The thread will be open here for a week, and then moved to Canterlot for further commenting.

This month, we welcome the return of !!Trixie, Zeke Roa, who is helping us develop gochan.ponyville.us, as well as assisting us in moderating!

We are also seeing the departure of Savvy, Brazie, Abby, and Peppermint... whom shall be dearly missed. They are all taking a break from administration.

This month, we are also sharing the results of our poll, as well!

Please take a look, dear ponies: what we do, we do for all of you. <3

Thanks for conducting this poll and analyzing the responses, Moony!

>A lot of users, at least six in the answer boxes, identified white supremacy as the issue that was causing them to wish to leave.
My understanding was that advocating for white supremacy is disallowed on this site (even on /townhall/) and results in "(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)". Is this not the case?

I believe it's that the user that self identified as one is allowed to post at all. From the argument I saw Manly give it was "It doesn't matter if he doesn't talk about it, you can't allow racists on the site!"

I think that sort of 'logic' is peculiar to Manley.  Most people can realize that he is equivocating on "allowing racists qua racists" and "allowing people who happen to hold racist beliefs but don't act on such beliefs".  And I don't think any of our users self-identify as a white supremacist, not even the user who avatars as a mint-green background pony.

This. Why was that even question when there are no White Supremacists on site? White Suprematists are unironically almost as retarded as science deniers, which is why I don’t like to be compared to them.

the point is why you feel the need to capitalise the word like that, as though it's that different. that is the offensive bit. nobody calls you White

I capitalise White, and every other race. I’m pretty sure Starshine was the first to point it out.

I don’t see why races shouldn’t be capitalised if nationalities are. I also capitalise ideologies, like Fascism, Capitalism, Veganism, etc.

I think everyone does, subconsciously at least. You’d have to have down syndrome not to.

so now you're being ableist instead of racist yea?

i'm not baiting you, you are the sole reason why people were questioning about white supremacy here; and you still had to come stick your oar in. I have no obligation to do or not do, or post or not post anything on this website just because you tell me to.

>you are the sole reason why people were questioning about white supremacy here;

Eh, not quite.  He's the most vivid example, but there's some other people with less extreme views that still make users uncomfortable.

>>1246
>>1247

Whether or not Mint strictly or officially falls into the category doesn't change people from labeling his behaviors as such, and it's the behavior itself that discomforts people.

>>1253

This post here, for example, is going to strike most people as supporting white supremacy.  It even insults what's actually probably the majority of the site in the process.  That the poster has a detailed hierarchy of race of which white is technically not at the top doesn't change that.

 No.1256

>>1250
Isn't that technically the proper form, though? I mean, you're referring to racial groups, not a specific color, so, much like proper names and such, aren't they supposed to be capitalized?

It's quite clearly not true, and frankly, this is exactly why the question had me worried.
It's rather evident that people like yourself do not have a notion what 'white supremacy' or, for that matter, even racism are.
Rather, it seems to be simply pointed out given your posts to be "anything I don't like and can assume the worst about".

>>1263
Amusing.
No need, in my case.
I am, flatly, not racist. There is no but. Any "but" is the result of people misrepresenting me in a dishonest manner in what seems to typically be their own insecurities that require them to assume the absolute worst of others.

This "racist shit" is literally what I'm talking about, m8.
Come on, now. Surely you gathered what I'm talking to you about, here. You don't think I just randomly started complaining about the hostile and rather insulting assumptions, did I?

My entire premise here is that you made a rather, frankly, dickish accusation towards me because I had the audacity to presume someone was using an English standard rule.
I'm certain you have the mental capability to follow basic context, here.
>>1266
How cute.
You'll note, I was never banned for being 'racist'. That's simply not something that is the case. But, hey, keep making up shit about me, I'm sure it'll somehow magically convince me,.

listen. if you defend Mint Horse's views, you indirectly defend racism. it doesn't matter how many long posts you write. sorry, i don't make the rules.

personal feelings that any of the non-sociopathic members here share. anyway, every post any of us makes is our personal feelings, what on earth are you on about.

I do not agree. I do not think all "non-sociopathic" members share the rather backwards idea that anyone who dares say "Is that actually racist though" is a racist-defender.
It could well be that they, as in my case, simply disagree with your standards for racism, as they're quite evidently quite open to things that are definitely not racism.

>as for your quotes, if you didn't feel there was truth to it, you wouldn't get so defensive about it.
Ah, of course, if you're upset at someone lying about you and your beliefs, that means those lies are totally true.

What backwards logic.
I'll have to keep it in mind if you ever get upset at anything someone else calls you, then.(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)
