The last iteration of the moderation discussion thread was a complete disaster. Numerous attempts to keep it on topic fa

I'll be continuing discussion regarding I/P in the I/P thread.

Didn't end well for the bloke doing the saying.

Yes, but that was deliberate, as he was provoking his captor into allowing him sudden death rather than torture, so that he didn't betray the young people he was protecting.

Oh I know. Dennis Hopper was so awesome in that scene, you even see him puffing more on what he knows will be his last ever cig, which was a great touch. Sheer class.


I just saw this in Dodge City, it was donated by the estate of dennis hopper



Like 1% of the I/P thread is anything other than fighting or joking or derails or whatever. What else could it be? The 12 people interested in posting in an I/P thread have said their piece a dozen times. UP has an I/P thread where people almost never fight because it's not a diverse group and it's heavily modded, and it has zero posts for the last 8 days.

There's no world where there's a busy, informative, respectful thread on I/P on 2p2. It's literally impossible. So either people can make those posts, doing nothing but entertain themselves, which is all that could ever happen here, or it can be closed.


OR you guys could self govern a bit and limit your in-fighting to a set number of derail posts


Like honestly, what selfish babies you are to think everyone should have to read through your little personal retorts in order to glean anything from the threads. Imagine if all of them were like that. Just go to twitter then and be emotional little shits.


There are other people besides YOU who maybe come here for something beyond personal attacks and nonsense. Maybe other people use the threads. Maybe other people want to debate. For someone so progressive, you seem to forget frequently that other people exist.


You’ve managed to make me disregulated so I’ll be back shortly.


Nobody comes for anything different. It's evident in almost every single post in this forum. The only thing happening besides some jokes and some insults (direct or indirect) is talking about moderation.

If anyone wants news, imagine coming to a bulletin board for it. That'd be ridiculous.

The difference between here and Twitter is that people know each other. It's not randoms joking, teasing, insulting other randoms or talking to famous people who don't read your posts. And just because people say a swear word or call someone a dumbo doesn't mean they are emotional. This is just a game - for everyone here. No one is doing serious business.


I'm just going to give up. You people are too much.


I've unbanned metsandfinsfan and rafiki

Lets see if I can make hell hotter


Alright, I feel bad now. I'm going to be nothing but nice on 2p2 for the rest of the year. I can't say it's impossible that I slip up, but I'm usually pretty good about keeping my published posting promises.


Don’t feel bad. You just helped discourage a good person into not giving a **** anymore. I guess that is your politics? Whatever man.

Ok, let’s self govern.


by jalfrezi m

Ok, let’s self govern.

Some sort of preemptive intervention perhaps. Let's talk to potentially bad posters about why they might feel that way before it has to get to points and bans.

I'll start. Actually, wait, I just did!

This is pretty much how I get my news. Anything important enough is going to be posted here.


reading BBC and NYT etc would be the worst way to get news

What would be the best way to get news?

The best source of news is Victor's X feed. Duh.

It always ends this way. Don't feel bad.

yes, in this day and age we have the ability to view a variety of primary and secondary sources from the actual areas of interest.

It occurs to me now that I should probably chill on making any moves until after the election.

Anyway. You people make me mad.

We’re gonna keep Mets and rafiki back though for good measure. Let’s see if we can’t get through this next week together πŸ˜€


You forgot Phresh


No I didn’t.
