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.
I dunno, he doesn't seem to be disputing that part, just the clear hyperbole.
I'd already conceded days ago that it was ~78% of his posts I could remember seeing and not literally 90% of all his posts, so not sure what the goal is here.
Modern men are lonely because they deserve to be
I feel as much sympathy for them as I do for southern states complaining they can’t own slaves anymore
****ing cry about it
Then just answer the question. In your response to f72, who were you saying is in a cult?
Eta: you thought f72 just made that post out of the blue? His post has context.
i'm not playing your stupid games, i don't owe you a symposium to break down the voices in your head
you attributed utter nonsense to me, and this wasn't the first time, it's happened many times
this is far from the first instance in which you made stuff up and then used that utterly fabricated bullshit to then launch personal attacks
to quote coordi: it takes far more energy to refute bullshit than to generate it and i have no time or patience to walk you through this while holding your hand explaining to you for the umpteenth time that i never said a ****ing word about what you are attributing to me, i didn't even broach the ****ing subject you stupid mother****ing clown
just be a man and apologize or at least admit you were wrong without the apology and leave it at that otherwise just kindly go ead and stfu and put me on ignore because i tire of your stupid games
You don’t
i'm sorry for the swearing mods - if it needs to be excised please just excise the swear words as i'd like the content of that post to remain
been a long day and just incredibly frustrating trying to convince miss cleo over here that just because he had premonitions doesn't mean i actually said something that i literally never said
Miss Cleo is guilty of ascribing thought crimes to those who have not committed them. But also Miss Cleo made good points.
Big moon tomorrow, hold on to your nuts
Rick,
I didn't play games or lie once. I guess it was a misunderstanding, but imo it was you that did the misunderstanding.
That may be your thesis, but mine was using the standard definition of bigot.
She literally did at least once, when i expressed my lack of interest in the lives of those who suffer and die because of their choices (it was about hurricane relief efforts iirc).
Keep in mind that solitude causes suffering and in extreme cases death (suicide), so it's really exactly identical to what i said and was banned for, except the group was different.

Why should anyone give a ****? Fascists don't have feelings.

I guess the main difference is that everyone is allowed to make the occasional inflammatory post, but habitual line steppers don't get the benefit of the doubt

That is the point. P&S does not have to have a troll (yep, that's you Luc) that CONSTANTLY tiptoes along the line. You may believe you are a contributor, but others including me think otherwise.
