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.
Fantastic submissions so far lol
Chapter 2.
Due to my abject failure to perform, I had to use the ole tongue. And I don't mean to spin a yarn. That appeared to work.
I was so embarrassed about the whole situation, but I made good.
Also, my ex-gf was kinda with me at the time. She knew what I was up to. She literally messaged me in the morning saying "you ****ed your roommate, didn't you? Wow, prick. Hope she made you some boiled eggs, that is what old people like".
The thing is.. I was eating a boiled egg that she'd made me at the time. I've not told anyone about this before. I mean, I almost choked on the ****ing egg when I read that message.
Anyway, yes, I am a terrible person.
I thought these stories always started with, “ I never thought anything like this would ever happen to me, Though I have read and enjoyed the letters in Penthouse’s Forum section for many years, I must admit that, until now, I had always thought they were made up. It just seemed too much of a stretch of credulity to believe that they are true, real-life tales of actual readers,” the man said. “But a recent experience caused me to put aside my skepticism.”

I mean, well spotted, it was supposed to read in the form of a "dear Penthouse" letter.
The thing is, it's all ****ing true. And, I mean, who the **** writes to Penthouse? Winners post their conquest stories on poker forums with misandrist moderators, for that extra element of spice.
Oh, sorry, Crossnerd, didn't see you there.
i can imagine you eat a lot of boiled eggs
So, this thread is my new blog.
I kinda wanted to write about this for a while, but... well didn't. The ex, of the messaging me about boiled eggs fame. She was the love of my life. The one that got away. We were actually soulmates. I'd just hold her while she watched TV and masturbated. Like, those sorts of soulmates. She introduced me to all sorts of comedies I didn't even know existed.
Anyway, enough blogging for now.
She was also a feminazi, who owned a lot of Germaine Greer books. Hence, my little joke.
Is that it? Amateur hour.
So, I mean, I really loved her. Jal will mock me, fine. She was a champ.
We worked together. As in, really well. But also, just worked at the same company.
I still remember this one time at band camp where she literally emailed me and was like "I need to give you a blowjob. Now. I don't care how, where, make it work".
I mean, I am an engineer. I made it work.
I'll never mock love.
I knew people who studied fine arts and sculpture at St Martins lol. We used to have so many fine times around Soho back then. Also had ridiculously unachievable pub crawls from there back to someone's house in NW London too.
You will never understand
How it feels to live your life
With no meaning or control
And with nowhere left to go
You are amazed that they exist
And they burn so bright
Whilst you can only wonder why

Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small.
Artists are so much more fun than STEM types.
Fiirst girl at school to get breasts.
Martin said you were the best.
Pulp were great and some other bands too but in hindsight it's clear the whole Cool Britannia thing was just a prelude to Brexit - lots of white Northern kids shagging the flag.
I might partially rescind what I said earlier if early onset dementia hadn't destroyed my memory or if I could be arsed to go back and look.
Anecdotes are still amateur hour though.

I guess this means that we are partial... friends? Acquaintances? **** knows. I am more interested in talking to Crossnerd, she has far better chromosomes than you do. Like, none of these pesky Y ones.
Yes sure, to both ideas.
Like I said before - women aren't great but men are real arseholes.
