Politics and Society Moderation Discussion Only Fans Thread
Hello everyone. I've closed the previous mod thread, and opened this to capture all issues related to moderation policie
I'd be just as upset about Victor getting banned as I am about Kelhus, personally.
you ban Kelhus or whatever but somehow Victor gets a lifetime pass. Look at this garbage. Is the reason he is allowed to say whatever the F he wants is so you have 6 posters instead of 5?
What an absolute joke.
Lifetime pass is hilarious. Oh he's never been banned before so nope, can't do it now.
The red/blue/purple text paradigm is relevant here. A lot of Victors posts are disguised as red/blue but they are really purple. A lot of times there is an irrational/illogical western bias applied to the dialogue, the narrative, the modding etc. .... Victor will often mirror a posts thats clearly bias towards this western perspective in order to provide balance.
Thats a good thing. A very good thing to have around. And if his balanced posts were purplized he would have a LOT more purple posts than others.
To the contrary, trying to paint his purple posts like they are red/blue, is disgusting, I'm so sick of this behavior.
Glad someone pointed out Victor's posting is balanced. Finally some sanity ITT.
This is confusing because you'd think a blending of red/blue posts would give you a purple post.

Thats on point-that is how it works. When someone posts something biased, thats of the red/blue duality. You want to argue western is blue? Or red? It doesn't matter, its duality.
But if you balance someone's ridiculous bias with a ridiculous counter example, especially on purpose, you might have posted something that is dualistic, but in fact you balanced someone else bias post. So you have posted something bias but your intentions and actions are to balance-purple.
Victor has a ton of red/blue posting, so hes getting called out for being a red poster. Or a blue poster. what ever bias color you ascribe. but the reality many of his posts are just highlighting other peoples bias posts by mirror their sentiments.
Thats unsung purple.

damn. I had thought I had it for a second.
Extreme blue is balanced by extreme red to create purple?
I suppose what is happening in Palestine now is purple and a good indicator of what this type of "balancing" leads to.

Sure, Victor's posts are sometimes one extreme in reply to another. But that's not their purpose, as that's how he always posts. It's sort of a case of a broken clock being right twice a day.
As you know, there is no way for a mod to ban a poster from a specific thread other than to warn the poster that he will be banned across the entire site if he continues to post in a particular thread.As for Victor, what can I say. I don't agree with him very often. But that doesn't matter for the purposes of moderation. We have set the bar for getting banned fairly high. He
Victor, life time pass.
"As for Victor, what can I say"
um, nothing?
I am confused as to what was problematic about that post tbh. I even gave you credit for not wanting babies to die, which I dont do for many!
bruv that was from like 24 hours ago. I already said "starting...now!" this morning.
you want me to go back to the old way?
A serious war is going on, let them fight.jpeg.
Seriously though, I only read a portion of both posters but a little leeway is fine and if we are talking about Kel V Vic, I think they are staying within the lines of reasonableness for a heavily emotional discussion between regs.
lets take a look at something. I make 2 factual posts that are not directed or critical of anyone.
in return, only one person engages with the substance and 2 mods decide to make personal attacks on me.
how many people did Yemen kill? Ill help, 0. and in fact they did everything they could to avoid hurting anyone.
now the USA is murdering Yemeni babies to support a genocide in Israel and so that shipping times improve.
Firing anti ship missiles and drones at military and civilian ships is an odd way to show you aren't trying to hurt anyone. You can't just sit back and hope they keep failing.
Victor, have you ever stopped to ask yourself if taking every situation and putting the worst possible spin on it for whomever you're hating on is a useful debate or conversation tactic? Rhetoric can be a useful or even humorous tool at times, but it loses all value when you use it every. ****ing. Post. And the result is just endless stupid arguments about the words you use rat
there is no personal attack in my post. I could have pointed out the obv about ntany but I refrained bc believe or not I am trying to avoid rancor.the rest of it is factual. Yemen has killed 0 people. USA has killed many Yemenis and is now bombing their cities. USA has stated explicitly that this is to ensure global shipping times do not increase and so that ships can go to
victor should not have asked for forgiveness of his student loans. he should have asked for a refund.
only one post has addressed the facts of what is happening.ntany is correct that they did indeed send drones and missiles at ships. but that was only after multiple warnings. and those shots were obv just warning shots. when Israel is committing genocide as many countries are no alleging, and the USA is abetting it, there is no reason to allow their ships to pass.this is wha
We seem to all be focusing on your broken record.... that this is ONLY about killing babies.
who is trolling here? who wants to have a discussion and exchange of ideas? and who wants to make personal attacks and troll.
this is the stuff I deal with and this is why I get frustrated and lash out at times. but, as I told bowser at my own behest, I will refrain and let you guys get your cheap shots.
can you imagine how quick someone like BGP would have gone to the mods if I responded at all like thinman, who has made this lame student loan joke for over a year now.
Vic, no one thinks you should be banned because you won't argue in the format and style bgp wants. On the other hand, no one is willing to defend your posts, your posting style or assert the validity and/or reliability of anything you post either.

Zero personal attacks in my post. Everything I said was directed at your posting style. And not in one of those calling your post stupid when I really mean you're stupid kind of way, either. Completely focused on your posting.
ok so you agree with the facts and substance but you dont agree with the presentation?
has a single person on this forum ever actually been “cancelled” by a non-mod?
Accurately pointing that people post transphobic things isn’t “cancel culture”,
Of course not, how could someone who is not a mod cancel anyone else?
The only thing I can think of that would mean here is a banning. If not, what did you mean?
I didn't say anything about the facts and substance, but I just posted about them in the thread where that discussion was taking place.
FYP. Or enhanced it. I'm not here to argue for or against the riding of motorcycles (I mean, I jumped out of a ****ing plane so how could I possibly argue against it?), but without a helmet...amazing that people do this, especially when they own one and have it with them. Yikes.
