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.
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?
You have leftist privilege. Check your privilege. (I think I did that right). If your politics and who you attacked were different you would've used your 9 lives in the last week itt alone. You attack peoples religion, ideology, etc in a nasty way and call them stupid for it. I held the mirror up to you and you played victim. My calling you out seems to bother a mod more than your behavior
Please don't be biased towards or against complete morons, that would be a right wing thing.
Basically, if you call the abject morons who post here out for what they are, you might be in danger of running afoul of lozen's idea of who and who shouldn't post here.
But, luckily, everyone understands that lozen is a person who didn't pass grade 8 arithmetic. In fact, I'd be amazed if lozen can count to 21 without taking off his boxer shorts.
How about D2 what the hell calling someone a fuxxxng moron . Another pass or just delete the post
JFC, you ever stop whining? I tell you what, right? I'm coming to Canada next year. I will make a point to stop by wherever it is you live to punch you in your annoying, whining ****ing face. After that, will you shut the **** up?
So yeah when you and others mock christianity with midwit reasoning it sparks debate. When a total degenerate does it with no self awareness of how their beliefs are serving them and habitually being rude as possible, I don't hold back. And you're not a victim. Well you are, just not the way you think you are
ps no im not a christian
Wow man, white knighting for Christianity? At least when I do it, it's for a girl. Maybe you weren't as masculine as you thought?
Is there a place or can we ask why a mod/ user was banned. I finally noticed why a certain thread had been quiet lately mostly just curiosity
thanks dm me if there's anything juicy if that's allowed
ya a self ban made more sense good for him (sincerely). some people just use way to much mental energy defending one thread on the internet and they become like a gatekeeper especially in the less popular threads. there's a guy like him in the Canadian thread too. You don't have to fight every battle for your side. After awhile you just become committed to a team and start being a lawyer for your side like its your job

Uke ran out of defending his side 😀
You two geniuses realise uke has more brain cells in his little finger than you have between you, right?
I mean, the guy is ****ing smarter than I am. and I don't say that lightly.
I have never once called him unintelligent or really negative things. infact I was suggesting he should use his brain in better places I think he is really smart. He spends his mental energy defending a dead political party when there is like 2 other left leaning party's he could support. At the very least chill out and wait for the liberals to rebound. I been trying to get him to get behind the ndp's XD. Its like defending biden/kamala Harris after she lost the election in a 80-20 landslide. Like the American dems Its time to move on to 2028
I have to go get the updated Covid vax today for some reasons and I so don’t want to do it. It totally wrecks me every time. I’d rather have a Pap smear than go do this. Someone hype me up.
It half killed me for a day.
There you go.
Sore arm for a day is all the new vax did to me. Wife was unaffected by her shot. CN, think of the alternative if you become affected by Covid without having the latest.... and because of not being vaxxed, you have a rare but not-too-rare bad outcome. They still need to put people on ventilators......

You realize that Cross is healthy and like 42?

You’re banned

lol, almost no one is getting "the latest" in all of Europe and ICU access rates are indistinguishable from pre COVID meaning literally no one extra is on ventilators because COVID exists anymore, and hasn't been since at least 24 months ago, at least in Europe.
almost everyone lives literally as if COVID never existed and no society-wide stats are different than pre covid.
then there are democrats in the USA living in alternative reality as usual

The only people I know getting boosters are people at high risk or over 70
my immunodepressed mom isn't getting pressured by physicians to get the n-th dose , and healthcare is regional here and this is a leftist stronghold. it's done, it has ended, not even lockdownistas care about this stuff nowadays.
and moderna is out of the nasdaq
My profession is higher risk for exposure. Many colleagues caught it this past year. The rest of my time is spent around small children who depend on the adults around them to make responsible decisions. I also get the flu vaccine for the same reason.
COVID was lol but I legit thought I might die from RSV.

so you are "forced "to get the booster?
