Moderation Questions

I was actually in the process of doing that when ganstaman posted his post.

So please continue the happiness and Italy discussions over there.

Could the Marxism derail in the trans thread be spun off into a "What is Marxism?" thread?

I think we already have about a dozen "what do words mean" threads.

is it allowed to claim radical leftism or radicalism in politics in general is a form of mental illness?

Why not just go the whole hog and say that anyone who disagrees with your basic (very basic) thesis that white people are genetically superior, is mentally ill?

So long as we can call liberals mentally ill

Huh! You learn something new every day.

I'm a white person who does a little as possible to contribute to GDP, trying to break the stereotypes.

I'm of mixed race descent and basically look like the prototypical Brazilian. I don't really look Hispanic but have no trouble blending in at least in the cities in Latin America. On the scale of the whitest white person I've ever seen vs the blackest black person from Senegal or somewhere, I'm a 6.5.

i want to preface this post by saying i am NOT asking for more moderation, just clarification.

what i am wondering is why is it allowed to say "people who believe in god are nuts," while it is not allowed to say the same about people who.....well, i won't say it out of respect for rules.

the reasoning we can't debate unsaid topic is because "the forum wants to be a welcoming place for these people."

is the same not true for theists?

Ive received no post report on this, and you dont link to it, so I cant take a look at it. So please either send a report or link the post so I can find it. But it seems to me you are, in fact, asking for more moderation, despite your disclaimer.

My post got deleted?

Yes.

Reason?

no, i would definitely like less but i understand that won't happen. regardless, i know its not your fault, for lack of a better term.

i dont feel the need to have the 'offense' reported and/or deleted. i respect other's viewpoints, even if i don't agree.

A question was asked to the mods about forum policy. So only a mod should answer it in this thread.

You look white in your picture. But Brazilians are hot too. No wonder you get frisked at the airport.

Ok sorry I thought we were in the *let's give your opinion" phase of the thread.

My bad

Np. On certain topics I'll ask for other member input. Other times I will allow some topics to continue depending on the level of interest. But generally for policy questions, what happens when another poster answers, then others jump in, often with their opinions rather than what the official policy is, it leads to confusion and clogs the thread.

Ye really my bad you asked a question recently I entered that state of mind but you are right and tbh I am sorry I flooded this thread in the past with OT posts so I'll try to restrain

I can only believe you are joking. It happens all the time. Things like, "What can you expect from people that believe in a magical sky man" are far from uncommon.

I'm like sublime and would prefer less moderation. However, I have evolved and decided if there is gonna be moderation, then it should punish people that I don't like.

I do think he's sincere, as I previously thought like him.

Second time i agree with victor I feel bad inside

You say this like it's a bad thing.

You two have more in common than you might think.

outside of insults and the obvious, there are two issues that seem to be moderated heavily. one is difference in races and the other the mental stability of certain subgroups. its disappointing that in both cases there are things to discuss as to why viewpoints may be true or false, but we live in such hypersensitive times we can't.
