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.
I know self deprecating humour is probably outwith your wheelhouse, so I'll wait a day or two till you get it.
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

Yes, you sanctimonious, judgmental little prick, you get to feel holier than thou because you don't suffer the same addictions that I do, or come from the same background I'm from, or whatever else. Walk a mile in my ****ing shoes, then make the same post.
You'll notice I never judge people for their circumstances. Only their stupidity. Maybe take a leaf out of my book, boss.
Merry Christmas.

Remember when Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer broke that Ming vase?
Yeesh. How many murders have there been?
Depends if you’re counting moderation.

Stupidity is in many cases the result of the circumstances a person had to deal with or innate. There's virtually no distinction between stupidity and circumnstances since both are out of our control: no one chooses to be an idiot and that is crystal clear to any rational human being.
I say this because you take pleasure in the humiliation of those you deem of low IQ, or maybe those with low IQ who also happen to be belligerent. In any case they didn't choose it.
If you find it amusing to deride such individuals at least don't come up with such a weak moral rationale to justify your behavior.

Just the ones who stubbornly refuse to learn. I always, always give them an out first.
If you don't want to take your out, that's on you, not on me. Then I'm going to assume you came to play, so don't complain if and when you lose.
Shouldn't be a hugely difficult concept to grasp for someone on a poker forum.
And people don't "happen" to be belligerent. Lol. Like, I didn't just "happen" to tell you to go **** yourself, not that I did.

I always love the varients of 'I told you why I was right so you have no excuse not to agree'. A modern day classic.
Do two varients make a lot of varience?

I have to be clear: it's not that I don't despise people who not only are stupid but also have a sense of intelectual superiority which is just disgusting. I know you and many others like to put them in their place, and honestly I have nothing against it. It's just that I didn't find your rationale sound.
I think we could turn this into a moral discussion orbiting the concept of freewill.
Regarding the usage of the idiom "happen to be", I will politely refuse your invitation to engage in semantics as I would do in any language that isn't my native tongue.
My point is still the same though: your rationale wasn't compelling, do we agree on that?

The perp is actually the victim. At what point should an adult have accountability and start adulting? These are your problems, not everyone else's. You get your **** together and expect the same from others. Now if anyone doesn't approach your dysfunction with empathy they're the bad guyy. This is the current state of leftism in a nutshell
I remember before going to thailand I was following that thread for like a year. madyank was one of the most active posters. He got wiped clean form 2p2. You can just google that name plus hooker or whatever and read about his case. Pretty wild to see a guy you've been reading travel advice from getting perp walked for his unconventional take on tourism

I did not know that English was not your native language; regardless; no, we do not agree, hope that clears things up.

At this point in my adult life, I've realised that you're at least one other poster, the one who likes to talk about "agency". At what point in your adult life you gonna stop using so many accounts and just settle on one?

It's especially weird when the first account isn't banned. Might as well upload the avatar of a woman dancing with a fish and be done with it.
that sounds very familiar but i checked and it was the user "newteabag"
but wasn't joking when i said there's probably multiple 2p2 murderers in the thai threads alone
timing was just after he lost a game of werewolf and the joke was always that was what put him over the edge
Ww is serious business
I asked for all this. I said, "test me". People are testing me. It's all cool. Just doing my best to acquit myself here.
