Moderation Questions

Moderation Questions

The last iteration of the moderation discussion thread was a complete disaster. Numerous attempts to keep it on topic failed, and it became a general discussion thread with almost no moderation related posts at all. And those that were posted were so buried in non-mod posts that it became a huge time drain on the mods to sort through them. Then, when off topic posts were deleted posters complained about that.

This led to the closing of the mod discussion thread, replaced by the post report/pm approach. This has filtered out lots of noise, but has resulted at times in the General Discussion Thread turning into a quasi-mod thread. This is not desirable, but going back to the old mod thread is also not a workable option.

Therefore, I have created this new moderation thread, but with a different purpose and ground rules than previous mod threads. The purpose of this thread is to provide a place for posters to pose questions to the mods about how policies are applied; to bring to the mods attention posts they think are inappropriate and reach the level of requiring mod action; and for mods to communicate to posters things like changes or clarifications to policies, bannings, etc.

Now let me tell you what this thread is NOT a place for. It is not for nonmoderation related posts, even if the discussion originates from a comment in in a mod related post. It is not for posters to post their opinions about other posters or whether a poster should be banned. It is not to rehash past grievances about mod decisions from months or years ago. The focus of this thread will be recent posts that require action now. Or questions about current policies and enforcement.

So basically, this is a thread to ask mods questions. Which means, pretty much that only mods should be answering those questions. If a poster asks why a particular post was deleted or allowed, only a mod can answer that. Everyone else who wants to jump in with their opinion or their mod war story needs to stay out of it. It just increases the noise to signal ratio and does nothing to answer the question.

Everyone needs to understand that this thread has very different rules than the old mod thread and any other thread. Any non-moderation post will be deleted on sight. Not moved to the appropriate thread, just deleted. So don't waste your time crafting a masterpiece post about wars or transgender issues or the presidential election and then post it in this thread. It will be gone. Also, this isnt a thread for general commentary about our mods performance. Posting "browser sucks as a mod" or any such posts that don't actually ask about a policy or request a mod action will be deleted. Everyone is entitled to their opinion about the moderation of this forum. But this thread isnt for complaining about mods. You are free to go to the ATF forum and make your concerns about modding in this forum there.

So with that intro, this thread is open for those who need to bring questions about mod policies or bring inappropriate posts to the mods attention. Again, it is NOT a thread for group discussions about other posters or for other posters to answer questions directed to mods.

We'll see how this goes. If you have what you feel is an open issue raised in the General Discussion Thread, please copy that post or otherwise reintroduce the issue here.

Thanks.

Why I stopped ever playing c5

It's fine against the Nc3, f4 closed systems but d2_e4 plays this really ugly e4, c4 where black can get a reasonable positional clamp with Bg7, Nd4 and Nc6 but it's not really in the style of Sicilians.

Like I said, this hasn’t even truly started yet.

You haven't even explained what "this" is, so it's hard for us to know whether you are correct or not.

I like to call my style "hypermodern" or "antipositional", because it rolls off the tongue easier than "I have no ****ing idea what I am doing".


my style is best described as post void


by d2_e4 k

I played c5 with white, it was the move that ultimately lost me the game.

Ah I'm with you now. I was only thinking about move 1.

Level 1 thinkers in the house. Craig is kicking about somewhere, you two should get along like a house on fire.

Meanwhile... e4.

I knew about those all those threads even before CN mentioned them.

I actually like talking to very religious people. It's is sometimes interesting to hear how such people arrived at their beliefs and how their beliefs guide their daily lives. I am capable of having such discussions respectfully. I did so with lagtight. But lagtight was very open and clear about what he believed, and he was happy to answer questions about his beliefs.

craig's mystical opacity and his refusal to engage with

I the same as someone raised strict Christian Reformed and went Atheist to no idea were I am now Religous folks intrigue me . Moving to BC I have had to deal with Mennonites and Polygamists and very strict in their faith . Its very interesting


^^^^^^ Wtf?

Please don't be biased towards or against complete morons, that would be a right wing thing.

Basically, if you call the abject morons who post here out for what they are, you might be in danger of running afoul of lozen's idea of who and who shouldn't post here.

But, luckily, everyone understands that lozen is a person who didn't pass grade 8 arithmetic. In fact, I'd be amazed if lozen can count to 21 without taking off his boxer shorts.

20.5

20.5

Look, we all know you have a tiny penis, why do you feel the need to boast about it, incelator?

It is what happens when he can't cut and paste "his opinion" from Fox News.

20.5 isn't tiny.


by Gorgonian k

20.5 isn't tiny.

I'm gonna defer to the expert on this, who appears to be rickroll. I don't know much about the length and the girth of these things, so it's probably best that someone who has tasted it first hand weighs in.

I just clicked that link.

Holy **** man. In the past, doctors had words for you that I can't use here and now. Suffice to say "wisdom" and "profundity" are not those words.

i'm happy to weigh in here, but it appears craig has started a thread for sharing and comparing dick pics so it appears i'm unneeded

You couldn't pay me enough to read that drivel.


but while length is important to a point, once you reach critical mass in that department, the real x-factor becomes girth

a really long vagina is going to only be about 3" so while you ideally want it longer than that for a fluid and continuous back and forth pump but after a point it becomes excess


unless of course we're targeting other holes, in which case the anus is 2x as long for most people, probably 5x in d2's case so he'd need to call in the heavy artillery


And at which juncture will you realise that I called you a cock sucker?


by craig1120 k

You must be a real hoot at parties.


by d2_e4 k

i don't see any posts of mine indicating otherwise

sucking is versatile, you can add in the hands, throw in some licking, mind the stepchildren, etc, so it's less about the girth and length of the penetrator and more about the skills, motivations, and creativity of the penetratee - whereas with the other cavities the length/girth/yaw/thrust methodology are all dependent on the penetrator

My people. You do not understand what has happened here. We are truly in the presence of greatness.

Rickroll, our very own rickroll is... hawk tuah girl. Please, the applause is overwhelming. I know.

I’m the guy you go to when you’re exhausted by the half measures and non solutions. I get the result.
