Telling someone who repeatedly expresses opinions that would have found a warm welcome in Nazi Germany that they are in fact a Nazi doesn't seem like the most terrible of takes.

Pulling them up for the umpteenth time by saying "That, sir, is a Nazi statement"? No one talks like this in real life.

I do believe that the Nazis would have loved the opinion that Jews shouldn't be allowed to defend their country, but in this forum those who believe that are the ones calling other people Nazis. Well, one of them has been anyway.

Although the only "Nazi statements" I've actually heard anyone give recently is Donald Trump


Moved about 30 posts, mostly about accountants, to the general discussion thread. It's amazing how a couple of posts derail ( which is fine) can explode into such a large number of posts so quickly.

Any chance you could just fix most of this by banning the one regular who loves to call people Nazis?

trolly would just make an alt account the next day if banned though

Guilty. Sorry.


Great to see the old days when "can't call people nazis because it hurts the feelings of nazis" being considered official high forum wisdom are well and truly gone.

That's a consequence of people constantly creating large off topic derails in the mod thread. Once that stops the problem you describe should also go away.

I usually click to the last page of the thread and it fixes the issue for the future.

Unsubscribe then resubscribe seems to fix it


Wasn't there a day were the moderation thread was what posts got deleted and who has a suspension or banned?

Were you asked maybe about starting a new thread or moving a discussion from its own thread to a new thread.?


OK. I just deleted about 11 nonmod posts from this thread. Ive asked several times to please post stuff in the appropriate threads but some people continue to ignore it. I dont have the time to move posts to various threads inlieu of posters putting them in the right place to start with.

If you dont want to lose the content of a non mod related post, then dont post it here. I justcant go post by post to determine if it has good, but off topiv content and what thread it belongs in and move it, or whether it is just no content and delete it. So Im just going to delete them.

The number of non mod posts grows quickly when you have multiple posters, each posting just a few posts. Each one seems OK and just a little derail. But since they all funnel into one thread it becomes 30+ posts of non mod related stuff we have to wade through.

Im asking for everyones help in clearing up this problem as I would much prefer to not need to delete posts.

Thanks


Nobody is clamoring for you to keep threads on topic and everything was fine/better when you weren’t.


I've been asking for mods to keep the Russian invasion of Ukraine thread focused on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and not the Palestine conflict actually.

Now that we've got a Russian bot talking about how Trump's election was rigged against him and Russia's elections are all fair and democratic I'd like to have that kept on topic too.

Same with the Clintons having people murdered and Putin's respect for life preventing him from having anyone assassinated.

This is the moderation discussion thread. It's for people to bring moderation issues to mods attention. So every mods vote on this issue counts more than every other poster in this forum combined. I don't care if no non mod is clamoring to keep this thread on topic. They don't have to read dozens of BS posts to find the mod related post


The Russia thread is awful, but aggressive moderation is not going to make it good. With that

Fair enough. And expect the same attitude and level of care from others that you’ve shown here.

Were that to happen it would be wonderful.


It already has happened. Non mods clearly value your opinion as much as you do theirs. Hence the constant need for mass deletions and post movements.

Literally the only reasonable thing that could help.

bc any comparison shows how bullshit your claims in that thread are. and how bullshit your support of the USA is.

comparison is the way we understand the world. https://www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...


Russian propaganda amirite


That’s like giving rotten ingredients to a Michelin chef and expecting a great meal. If a critical mass of posters suck, the thread will suck.


....but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.


I welcome comparisons. You aren't trying to compare, you're trying to drive the thread to focus on Palestine instead of Ukraine.

The fact that you do so in an attempt to diminish war crimes does not help. Every comparison you've brought I've debunked such as your recent attempt to compare the deaths of one 40k person town in Ukraine and say it's nothing compared to the deaths in Gaza, a city of 2 million.

Wanna be a mod? You can’t be much worse than the normal moderation here.
