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.
It was never a brag; it was meant to be transparency.
An unnecessary flex would be to call out that your user notes mention Islamophobia, bigotry against the LGBTQ community, and antisemitism as reasons for your past bans.

I have no idea why Jalfrezi is complaining. Him and his accomplice Victor have been given free rein to gangbang the forums with a constant stream of rage bait Twitter misinformation and blatant lies. No one is benefiting from the lax moderation more than them.
is it really ragebait? like do you rage when you see the West doing mass murder, or does it elicit different emotions for you?

Do you even read people's posts or just assume from the first few words that you understand the content?
Who's complaining? Things have got much better around these parts.

The problem here is that "rage bait" means something different to you than others. For you, a picture of a healthy, smiling, sufficiently fed Palestinian child qualifies as rage bait. That's on you, not the mods.
It's also pretty funny how a guy that CONSTANTLY launches irrational and disgusting accusations of antisemitism towards everyone who expresses even a mild critique of Israel is going on about other people benefitting from "lax moderation".
Not as much as you liked Birth of a Nation! 😀

I didn't like Birth of a Nation. There wasn't enough diversity in it for my liking. 😀
True story- I originally only heard of this film as it was once shown over my way on a Saturday morning when kids were meant to be watching their cartoons. 😮
Vile likes his genocides of the brown skinned to be more thrilling than is the case in Gaza.
Almost as embarrassing as this.
Apparently Communists didn't like it because it was 'too familiar'.

The Communist Party didn't like Picasso very much anyway for his unrealistic manner, which was viewed as alien to communists. At the same time, it willingly accepted financial support from him.
Typical commies. 😆
Incidentally, if you live under a dictatorship, remember never on any account to insult the dictator's moustache.
The poet Osip Mandelstam did, comparing Stalin's moustache to a couple of cockroaches, and he was sent to the camps and he never came back.
Can confirm if anyone comments on my mustache it’s straight to the gulag for you
My moustache is internet famous.

who in their right mind is clicking a link starting with jacket2.org or gw2ru.com?

Mustache is a symbol of repression and of hate
Never trust a man with a butt broom on his face
It's the facial markings of the man who holds you down
The source of all your problems, every city, every town
Stalin, Hitler, Schneider, just to name a few
Got to kill the mustache before it grows on you
Fight the mustache power!
Mustache is authority
The world is run by *******s
They try to run our lives from their golden mustache castles
The Dark Prince was a nazi
His mustache true to form
Instead of arm-band swastikas, mouse ears must be worn
He terminates employees with the hair above his lip
Cuz in the Fuhrer's kingdom, it's a dictatorship
We should take his frozen corpse and shave his fascist face
And make the Magic Kingdom a truly happy place
Fight the mustache power!
Pigs across the nation dressed in uniform
With their gun and badges, a mustache must be worn
They beat the population with their clubs inflicting pain
With mustache anonymity, they all look the same
We must join together till the mustache is removed
And then we'll have a party with beer and chicks and food
Fight the power mustache!

Its kinda awkward when they come at the expense of other mods but thanks for the compliments
