Moderation Questions

I see you still like to engage in your answering plainly put questions with more questions schtick.

Wow, I really respected you but it seems like you're just another freak with severe mental health issues. Instead of banning all these braindead Nazipigs you do nothing and invite an already banned one back in.

**** you.

Have you considered that a microniche subforum of a random internet forum doesn’t matter

no - evil white people show up and do evil things unprovoked because we are so morally repugnant and evil and need to spend the rest of our lives apologizing for that evil despite that the overwhelming majority of us are descended from people who came over in the 19th or 20th century long after it all took place

that is quite the hot take

i'm just literally saying what literally happened

and like i said - south and central america do not carry with them this phantom guilt - it's purely a western thing only existing in usa and canada

No serious black person would say that an individual white person should apologise for things white people did in the past. This is you building straw men again.

lol

Except it's not a strawman.

lol

I have no idea why we reopened the Sandy Hook topic. For years now, that topic has been off limits, and even Luckbox has complied.

Has anyone ever "strived" to be a moderator of this forum, much less "strived" so that they could flex their authority over other posters? For at least as long as I have been involved in the discussions, it has been difficult to find anyone who was willing to moderate the forum. The idea of an active competition is pure fantasy.

This was at the request of the moderator who wants to show how me believing in conspiracies makes me a bigot.

I've always theorized that someone who becomes a Mod has ulterior motives. I bet the vast majority of these people come from a bullied back round. This is their chance to be the bully. This is their chance to get back at those who hurt them. You can tell who these people are because they make their decisions based on emotions not rational thinking. They tend to micro manage because it shows their authority. Unfortunately, as you mentioned it's difficult to get people to do the job so their inability to handle the job is over looked. I've had this where I work. I'm certainly not going to do this job so I guess we'll just live with the deficiencies of this person. Ironically, you could literally have someone just check in once a week and see how things are going and I bet everything would be fine. Better yet, wait for someone to complain and then look into it. Coordi has done a fine job being hands off. He understands that less is more.

I never bought into the Sandy Hook conspiracy. Obviously InfoWars has very long tentacles. Far right media is rampant and once it gets its hands on you everything will seem like a conspiracy. In fairness, the Government hides so much information from us and lies so much that it's reasonable not to have any trust in them. Also, in fairness, some of the parents from Sandy Hook did seem like they were acting.

Why is any topic off limits?

CN brought it up in an attempt to shame LB.

I know how we got back to discussing Sandy Hook. I am suggesting that the game isn't worth the candle.

Certain topics are repugnant to the Spirit of the Age.

I don't agree with Cn's response to you and commented on it to her but you were also baiting her, like you frequently do in general.

I won't speak for others, but I wasn't bullied at all as a kid.

These days "bullied" means "someone was mean to me once".

When I mean bullied, I mean targeted for repeated behavior for some reason. Everyone has been in arguments or been mistreated at various times.

I've had enough of your microaggressions, buddy! 😀

I'm happy to hear that.

Do you think many who do take this job were bullied as kids? Or perhaps had issues with certain flavor of people?

What was your motivation?

All the moderators in this forum since its 'reboot' about eight years ago have been really kewl and never evidenced any desire to rule with an iron fist.

Or, certain views on topics are so baseless and repugnant that rational decisions have been made to prohibit those views from being expressed repeatedly.
