Moderation Questions
The last iteration of the moderation discussion thread was a complete disaster. Numerous attempts to keep it on topic fa
Browser’s moderation was simple and clear, it was easy to understand where the lines were, and he was generous in his explanations and the time he dedicated to the constant complaints and differing opinions. I felt safe posting here with him in charge. It’s not always like that for women in political spaces, and I appreciated him.I think it will be difficult to find
I don't remember seeing anything posted here pre-Browser that I thought was misogynistic or otherwise female-unfriendly. Do you have any examples?
A moderator who is able to take feedback and modify decisions in real time is, in my opinion, an excellent mod.
An excellent mod would get the decisions right the first time. A decent mod is able to respond to feedback and I think it's great that Browser corrected himself in those situations where he erred. What I was pushing back against was the idea that his modding was clear and simple.

I stopped posting in this forum for years because I could not tolerate the sexist abuse that came with any complaint I made about misogynistic posting directed toward me.
Only once did I need to go to Browser for something of this nature, and he handled it so discreetly that you don’t even know about it. I appreciated his understanding of my position and the fear I had about making it publicly in the mod thread.

You’re ridiculous.
I don't see how.
You said his modding was clear and simple. I gave reasons why it wasn't. Then you used what I said to claim that that actually makes him an excellent mod, but the simple fact is that an excellent mod would not need to reverse themselves.
It's good that he did. It makes him a decent and reasonable mod. A bad mod would make bad decisions and then not correct them in the face of negative feedback. But doing so doesn't make him excellent and if it does in your book then your standards are set very low.
I couldn’t care less about your opinions, Luckbox
Well, the civility was nice while it lasted. Maybe we need a niceness enforcer.

Most of my friends on twoplustwo were women. I left, and they left because the level of sexism, which i have complained about many many times on this forum, goes way way beyond anything normal or acceptable. I told Ray zee I would never post here again no matter how much you’d pay me. I did come back after a period of about 8 months after being asked to. but the idea that this isn’t a blatantly ridiculously misogynistic forum overall seems unbelievable to me.
OTOH, this is representative of much of the poker world and in this niche not the absolute worst offender so.

Like what? Honestly, I don't remember seeing much in the way of sexism here, guess I must have missed it.
OK so give some examples. If it was so prevalent, there must be plenty. Like calling SHS fat or something? That's all I can think of.
Are you talking about the trans thread?
I remember a poster once trying to argue that lesbians were smarter than heterosexual women because they have more testosterone or something but WN shut that down quickly.
(I just think it's because they're more open minded). I'm sure outside of Politics it's been pretty rampant. No reason to doubt Bryce or Cross there.

The list is endless. some things that pop into my head without relitigating the past, mostly because of relative recency
- Luciom excusing rape and literal no one caring.
-El razor saying the purpose of sex is procreation and nothing else
-The original response to the new owners taking over the forum was to ask them repeatedly and from multiple posters why they married “ hookers”
-the entire robbi debate
- people asking me for nudes of posters
-samantha abernathy being described as a gold digger, most other women as well
etc etc
Like I said don’t want to relitigate the past it’s endless tho.

You should at least have your examples be actual examples. 3 & 5 ok but the rest....no sorry.

Lol what? Accusing a woman of cheating at poker or suggesting a woman married for money is misogyny? Give me a break, bro.
Also, I was talking about this subforum, so let's not bring every single NVG thread into this, it's irrelevant.

all you guys do is complain.
edit: and by "you guys" i mean liberals, not women. women are the glue that hold the world together.

well, if number one happened there is no excuse for that. rape is the one action anyone can take and never have an excuse.
how is el razor saying sex is for procreating sexist? ultimately, it is. sure, we all enjoy the feeling of another laying on top of us while our skin rubs against each other, the feeling of running our hands through each others hair. the moans, the groans, the release of seminal fluid all over an exposed back. the post coital e-cigarette. all that is great, but sex is about procreating, we just hacked the system.
marrying a hooker seems like the most unsexist thing a man could do.
people asking for nudes of posters....well this is a little over the line, but if you have any of victor, lmk.
this abernathy lady is quite stunning, but the idea that a woman would use her looks to get ahead in the poker world repulses me.
