Moderation Questions
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.
Admittedly, I often struggle with interpreting statements about the soul, but I don't what it would mean for my group identity to supplant my soul.
I’m sure you’re familiar with the NPC meme right? That wouldn’t resonate unless there was truth to it.
It starts with acknowledging the existence of the self and practicing self awareness.
So basically this is half politics half spiritual mumbo jumbo?

Wait, can you define "resonate", "acknowledging", "of", and "awareness"? Don't even think of starting a conversation until you define those words in that order.

I mean, you jest, but I wouldn't really know how to go about "acknowledging existence of the self", nor how "practicing self awareness" fits in with what preceded it. A step by step guide might be more useful than a definition here, though.
You can call people liars (to an extent), but you go over the top with insults and cursing. If you don't want to treat people with at least some respect, then you aren't being forced to post here.
You have my word when you infract me to 99 I’ll stop posting here
Your move, chief
Til then I’ll just keep on keepin on

You’ve never experienced self awareness? If so, you are the NPC.
Craig is speaking in riddles because he knows that if he spoke plainly then it would immediately become obvious why his thread was locked.
Ok, well if you communicated in plain English instead of this mumbo jumbo language you've invented, we wouldn't keep having these little misunderstandings, as everyone has been trying to explain to you to no avail.

might as well left it open if it was just gonna continue in here lol
also, if that's the standard, why is it ok for luciom to be mussolini in literally every thread on this forum? he says on a daily basis whatever craig is dancing around
I never said you were a white supremacist, I said your thesis was giving white nationlism and I still think it was. I think you resent the racial stereotypes and "guilt" that is now associated with being white, and you want the freedom to critique other groups in similar ways, despite recognizing the various power structures in place. There was never going to be a discussion of "morality" in that thread, it was going to devolve into discussing why certain "groups" have inherently bad traits, which is why the exact usual suspects showed up to that dog whistle practically immediately.
It is also noted that your self/soul analogy was also recently used to describe transgender people as having sacrificed their "souls" to a "group identity". I understood the motivation and aims of your word salad, and its not going to happen.
Please move on from this.

This is what baffles me
Look I realize you don’t want to be seen as libtard authoritarians or whatever you’re concerned about on a forum you moderate without pay, but deciding hate speech against minority groups for the sake of hate speech against minority groups isn’t ok isn’t exactly a bold take
If my biggest sin on 2p2 is I call shitty human beings the shitty human beings they are without trying to rEaCh AcRoSs tHe AiSlE since that very transparently isn’t what they’re here for then I’m good with it
