****OFFICIAL NVG MODERATION DISCUSSION THREAD****

****OFFICIAL NVG MODERATION DISCUSSION THREAD****

This has been requested in the past, and now it's here! As regular NVG users know, questions about moderator actions are usually told to PM the mod or post in ATF. Now, there's a third option - this thread. You can still PM the mod or start an ATF thread if you don't like the response/decision you received.

This thread is not for mod bashing, trolling, flaming, or general idiocy. But if you have a question about why X disappeared, or some other mod issue/action, fire away.

Edit/MH: A post of note, for consideration by all:

... For a variety of reasons NVG mods have been notoriously hesitant to perma-ban posters. I think there have been only a handful of cases in the past six years. And in each case I would say that the poster essentially banned himself by flagrantly posting in direct violation of recent mod messaging

I’d like to request this thread to be locked and/or deleted:

https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29/ne...

I know others have sought the same on the grounds of protecting OP from himself but I think it needs to be locked and deleted to protect the victim of his stalking.

The OP claims to be the victims in this case but the thread is just an extension of his harassment of the true victim here.

Her name is mentioned and someone seems to have posted a picture of her.

Please lock and delete the thread.


i would normally agree with you meh, but the victim herself is a public figure who operates under her real name

she is not being doxxed

she has also put this same info out there herself

if anything, the thread could be good for OP where he comes looking for support from his peers and we instead reinforce that his behavior was unacceptable

he may think melissa is playing hard to get, but perhaps he'll listen to his peers whom he came to expecting

in no shape nor form is anyone going to read that thread and believe OP is a victim

Yeah, I can see your point and agree a bit. I guess I’m just viewing the thread as a way that he is perpetuating his stalking behavior.

I don’t know, I can see both sides.


NVG mods have decided to:

1. Move NikoP related posts from this thread to the NikoP thread

2. Keep the NikoP thread closed

3. Ban NikoP for misusing 2+2 forums for personal reasons


Nicely done.


Am I allowed to reply to these posts? The first one is calling me a political slur and allowed to stand, and the 2nd one brings up a comment I made on homelessness and makes it own counter-point to it. Yet the moderator has deleted posts of mine and said that talking politics or homelessness will get you banned. But apparently allows for personal politically motivated attacks at me by others.

We will take this under advisement.


^Nice moderating. Allowing people to call me slurs then saying you'll ban futher posts on the topic so I can't reply to said slurs even calmly. Then calling me names after I point out that's unreasonable.



Loctus, quit while you're behind

Haha lol thanks for posting this gem. Mod is correct, wp by him.


Why are people rustled when an unknown keyboard tough guy on the internet calls them a ****ing idiot and to **** off
of all the 3236573454 bad things that happen in your life, this must be in the bottom 0.01% of tragedies.

I think it’s more of the double-standard of “no politics” unless, it seems, it goes against the right.

Still not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but it’s pretty hypocritical for portions of the site to claim to be politics free only to have them allow one side while deleting the other.


I added the wrong title to a thread I created and couldn't edit it afterwards. The title of the article would obviously be much better to draw attention to what the thread is actually about. Could one of the mods change the title for me please?

This thread - https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29/ne...

Title should be - "The Russian Bot Army That Conquered Online Poker" (Bloomberg)


Thanks for starting this thread! Looking forward to discussing moderation topics and ensuring our community stays a safe and positive space.


It's always nice when the bots just show up and lay their heads on the chopping block.

No doubt, lol. I mod at an MMA forum and the AI has become quite recognizable.

because i liked my witty response and wanted others, like you, to share in it.
