Moderation Questions for Whiners
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.
tool is playing in bologna for new years?
sick!
Demographic pyramid of natives is identical to Italy.
We had the same mafia role in society (great decades ago, decaying with time).
Same mono party rule for decades.
Same centralized government splurging into other areas depending on the political calculus.
The similarities with Japan for Italy are exceptional, up and until immigration of third world inhabitants happened
Culture you fool
No not Austrian. I am from Bologna. Mid route between Florence and Venice.
4 hours by car (3 if you push it) for the border north. 6-7 hours by train to get to Wien.

20 miles from Casa natale de Benito Mussolini.
Still the North in the True Romance sense I think.
Keep in mind than for us EMILIANI, the ROMAGNOLI (like mussolini), are like our handicapped cousins
Yeah, I just did as the crow flies and probably from the border of Baloney and not the center.
My point was that you think you are part of the master race and thanks for making that point yourself.

I think I am part of the master culture not race.
My ancestors are linked to this town since 600+ years ago and we have the third oldest university in the world and abolished slavery first in the history of the ****ING WORLD so yes, my culture is the best that ever existed with a large margin to everything else that ever happened in humanity AINEC
Happy birthday Luciom!

Absurd claim. Just of the top of my head, Native American culture on the Pacific Coast of North America, South of about what is now the Oregon/Washington border partially differentiated themselves from the Northern cultures because they forbad slavery.

Even your source says "probably" and then only about cities, which is more specific than what you claimed and, notably, not what I was refuting you with.

actual real societies in the real world that matters yes.
the world that wrote history, that determined how things are, what is real and what is not. what exists and what doesn't.

Luciom is furiously confirming stereotypes about how Italians think about their history and culture.
Murder capital means they have 60 murders a year for a population of a little less than 75,000 plus all the commuters and workers that come into the city. So the ten minutes you spent there lost divided by the number of murders x the number of minutes in a year x the population statistically = that you are a pussy for thinking you would be murdered there.
I just hope you aren't putting your loved ones into harms way with your cocky, naive, ego driven way of thinking.
The people who escaped tyranny and found a measure of freedom probably thought themselves winners, while some of those they left behind to fight and eventually win their rights probably thought them losers.
Topic was which society on record did something first.
I get answered by the hp that some societies that left no records because they didn't have literacy maybe did that before.
I answered that the only societies that count are those who actually left a record and still exist, on the topic of who did something we now consider incredibly moral and positive first.
