Moderation Questions
The last iteration of the moderation discussion thread was a complete disaster. Numerous attempts to keep it on topic fa
And the every person is a unique and valued member of the community thing is just, like, my opinion, not a rule obviously. You can blame John Donne for polluting my mind. The most well adjusted participants in any communal space are the people who feel seen and feel heard, that their feelings matter and that they matter. If everyone felt that way, there would be far less confli
"Far less conflict" = "far more boring".
It's a part fo the same spectrum
some of us are here primarily to discuss politics - which is good part of doing politics.
I honestly think you are meaning well, but there is very obviously going to be disagreement in a politics forum. When disagreement is considered harassment or "stigmatizing mental health", then you are going way too far in your quest to be the niceness enforcer of the forum. I personally doubt that anybody posting in these forums (besides the now banned Lirva) would appreciat
So I hear you on all this actually. I may have different feelings on it, but I can at least see your perspective. I'm open to hearing more of your argument to this end if you wanted to have a convo over PM? No worries if not, I just like to try to view things from varying points of view, and I invite the dialogue if you're interested.
I have mentioned several times, very clearly, that I do not mod this subforum and I am a poster here. I have not censored jbouton's posts once. I have requested to have several of them moved to a conspiracy thread, but so far I have been denied each time.
This grand 2p2 conspiracy is pure cope. Last time I said what I'm about to say it was interpreted as "ad homineming" but that's just a similar coping mechanism. I am going to say it again, I understand it sucks to hear but it is the truth and should be heard: jbouton you are not a good communicator. The first post of yours I can recall was you posting a youtube debate you had where you complained that "the audience didn't understand the point I was making so they sided with the other guy" or something along those lines. You don't control what the audience understands. You control what you say, and hope that the audience understands it. If what you're saying isn't understood by the audience THEN CHANGE WHAT YOU SAY; DONT BLAME THE AUDIENCE.
This problem has occurred multiple times, in multiple different subforums. jbouton attempts to communicate in an ineffective way, people don't know wtf he's saying and they request the noise gets brought down. The noise gets brought down, and jbouton complains about being singled out. He continues posting in the same way, pissing off more posters, who report jbouton quicker now and he's put on an even shorter leash. This is viewed as further evidence of the 2p2 grand conspiracy, and not as evidence that he's a poor communicator. Learn to post in a productive manner instead of blaming the mods and other posters for being upset at your low quality posts.
People could just use ignore button. Why is it Js fault people can’t understand him?
If you have a problem with a poster there is a simple solution. Ignore button.
That’s not what a question is lmao
Watch
That’s not what a question is lmao?
I did what you said, yet what I wrote isn’t a question
Right, it relies on the person doing the writing not being an illiterate knucklehead. Same for other rules of grammar - you can follow them to the letter and still come out with complete horseshit, as you strive to consistently demonstrate.
Yet the question you posed was perfectly formed. So there should have been no confusion about what I was referring to when I asked "is that a serious question?"

What in the actual **** are you blabbering on about? Have you been taking posting tips from Trump's speeches?
do you think it is the posters responsibility to ensure other posters can understand them?

Is this some sort of trick question? Yes, absolutely, much in the same way that in the real world it is your responsibility to ensure that you are able to communicate with those around you. If you went about your day speaking some language you invented and only you knew, whose responsibility is it when nobody can understand you?
I can't believe I have to explain this to someone who appears to be a functioning adult.

nobody. there is no law that says I am responsible for people being able to understand me. of course that would be better if people could, but what is better and what is legally required are two different things.
youre saying people that dont speak one language have a responsibility to learn another so they can communicate, and everyone knows that isnt the case
lets go back to people complaining about somebody they can ignore but choose not to.
"I dont like how J posts, lets ban him"

I'm done explaining the blindingly obvious to someone who either is or pretends to be 8 years old. I will say that as far as I know, nobody has asked for JB to be banned, you made that up.
Chez, we all have something valuable to contribute to this discussion, and the thing you should contribute is silence.
If you have soemthign valuable to contribute then maybe you should concentrate on that.
Communications is too way. Neither side have sole responsibility. That's not original but it is valuable.

If everybody else can understand one another and none of them can understand you, that's a "you" problem.
