Have you read CounterSocial's Terms of Service? Probably not, right? It's okay, most don't.

That's why we are cordially reminding you that CounterSocial does not tolerate abuse of any kind, no matter how well intentioned it purports to be. That everyone is safe to speak here is a hallmark of this place, and we have been extremely consistent in keeping it that way for almost six years.

@CoSoTips There's unfortunately a very small few that know the TOS very well but continually skate right to the edge.

@FrankCannon @CoSoTips I need to reread them. It's been a while. I think I know everything but may have forgotten something.

@FrankCannon I just read them. I probably need to dial back a little in one aspect. I skimmed a few things about features I don't use.@CoSoTips

@FrankCannon @CoSoTips While I know that's most likely not aimed at me or folks like me, I know I/we can be a *teensy* bit abrasive from time to time and can be pretty awful at predicting how my words will be interpreted... plus I'm naturally *very* literal + somewhat binary, which means I tend to follow rules in a very technical "letter of the law" way...

so my first thought was "oh crap, I really hope I'm not considered one of those few".

@IrelandTorin There's a world of difference between being abrasive and being here simply to cause mayhem and ructions within the community.For what it's worth I've not seen you be either. @CoSoTips

@CoSoTips and we just lost a lot of voices so that is feedback that we need to do better. and we can.

@CoSoTips I did before even creating an account - yep, I'm weird - but I read through again for good measure.

It strikes me that CoSo's TOS is written in a far more transparent/pleasant-to-read fashion than nearly all other services.

With the way abuse's defined there, I can't see any reason anyone acting in good faith'd want to cross that line. It's defined in a way that seems much more fair and rational than I've seen elsewhere.

You can tell the person who wrote those terms actually cared.
