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.
Actually, **** it, I decided I don't like this guy either. Crossnerd - let's put him in the craig & Rococo cell, and if they have any issues, threaten to transfer Luciom in.
Yes. This is the Trumpian democracy we've all been looking for.
Wow bro, going through 2 pages of posts to "like" every single one saying something funny to me, and none of mine. Either I'm just not that funny, which is basically impossible (statistically or through expert judgement), or you got something you want to say?
I think he’s competing with you. You guys should wrestle!
Only if you throw dollars, no, make that hundreds at us while we male a spectacle of ourselves.
Just apropos of nothing in particular, anyone know where I could get some barbed wire, a couple of bull terriers, two stripper poles, a large electromagnet, and a 24000 volt power supply?
I mean, I'm no way a good enough engineer to make any of that into something useful, but I reckon with those items, I could make for some wicked ambiance. Also, apropos of nothing in particular, how many times can you short a UPS till it explodes?

Rickroll, you write pages upon pages usually. Cat got your tongue?

At least he's not passive aggressive. Just passive.
You're in a lot of danger of dropping below chez in the d2 rankings, btw.
Be honest, were you sad that I one-upped your sexcapades? Dude, the stuff you were talking about was minor. I did that **** by the age of about 20 and a half. People were entertaining you. Everyone has better stories than that.
i had sexcaspade stories?
If medium term memory fails, the search feature is your friend. Look for "I, me".
I jest, look for something like "blowjobs having a radioactive half life" and all all the other dumb cringeworthy **** you posted about China. Dude, you literally spent 2 months trying to persuade us you were Don Quixote.
lol, i genuinely have no memory of sexual boasts here, if you're talking about the cereal stuff, that was indeed a friend, i have no shame, would just say it was me if it were

For real bro? Do I really need to dredge this **** up?
Come on man, you're better than this. At least own up and say "alright, it was me, mea culpa".
Last chance, friend. I urge you to remember that this is all written down and instantly retrievable.
i got 27k posts, i'm sure plenty have been about getting dicks wet, but i'm pretty sure you're confusing me with someone else as i don't think i've done any bragging as i'm too autistic to brag without coming off as a douche
Spoiler
but if i came off douchey, then it was probably me and i forgot
Alright. You wanted this.
Let's start with this and go from here

Nice little rape apologia predicated on personal experience.
Dude, I could probably find tonnes of these, just stop.
the first link i'm talking about louis ck, the second one references once getting a terrible bj - wtf are you on about? in what world are these brags of sexual prowess?
Dude, I'm done here.
We're definitely putting you in the cell with craig, to contemplate what you've done. Crossnerd, the keys please. I'll lock this belligerent, recalcitrant **** up myself.
Rococo has been released now. Just gonna be the two of you.

Chez was not a good mod but he was possibly the best mod in the history of 2+2 politics. He was so much better than his peers that earned hate from the far left majority while representing them politically.
Whoever told d2 he's funny should be sentenced to the chair. He's acting like a kid that never got any attention. Someone should have given him enough attention to tell him that he's more likeable when he talks less. Getting drunk by yourself and telling the internet about the time you had sex a decade ago is sad. I have declared today the first day of holiday season, don't make me sad
Merry Christmas to all and thanks to the flawed moderators who donate their time to keep the doors open and lights on in this place. Like in sports, you can't have a game without referees. You never like them in game but they should be appreciated and respected for what they do.
I'm only 6'1. Hide the mistletoe until the gangly freaks show up. Anyone over 6'3 has s a genetic defect and deserves pity. This is the time of the year to make people feel special
