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.

How do you guys live with yourselves when you pull this move?
I couldn’t live with the past version of myself doing this when I noticed it.
Should I start calling out people by name who are guilty of this?
The list will be long..
Like, really, what in the actual **** are you blathering on about?
you're missing the point, you're not seeing that in real life
i worked in tech in china where all that filter tech comes from
i've consulted for live streaming companies years before tiktok even launched in china
the tech is very real and there's a very good reason why she looks nothing like those pics you share when she's on someone else's platform
you're in love with an ai filter not a real person
she's an attractive woman, but there's a reason why the minute you see images of her that's not released from her official channels she looks like a completely different person
but sure, call me the shallow person, you're just telling on yourselves

No. I'm not missing the point. The point is i wasn't born yesterday. I know what filters are. You are pretending she's only hot because of filters to try to make your point and it's stupid. She's been on television, is a well known lawyer, and has pictures taken with Randoms all over the place. She looks no different. I'm not an idiot. I know AI filters exist and I know they are incredible.
She's a very public person. This would be like trying to claim I don't know what Scarlett Johansson looks like because filters exist. It's stupid.
You trying to claim she looks nothing like that in other photos because you posted a picture of her in mid laugh is ridiculous. She doesn't look any different in candid pictures, df.
Here's an almost hour long interview with her in bad lighting on someone else's show:
She looks no different.
Here's another hour of her being interviewed on someone else's show:
2.5 hours on someone elses show and looks exactly the same:
Stop this desperate red herring. She's not an ai/filter model. She's just stunning. No idea why you're so desperate to deny it, but it's pathetic.
lol, rick apparently had to travel to China to discover things like makeup and snapchat filters.

I love that he thinks we don't know those filters exist and that Reb Masel has never been caught in public before.
She makes videos without makeup on in bad lighting from horrible angles too. And she's still gorge.

Rick does this weird Dunning–Kruger "I've been to China, I'm an expert" thing all the time, it's always entertaining. In this case it's especially funny, because he seems to get that photos can make people look artificially beautiful in a variety of ways but a single unflattering photo that's candid and in mid-laugh obviously proves that she's an uggo or whatever. I mean, I get it, my buddy's kid is also learning about object permanence rn, I understand the struggle.
Rickroll always follows up his "I worked in that field for 15 minutes therefore I am an expert and you are wrong" with a "I am disappointed with your dishonesty, be better" post.
Let's see if the pattern continues.
Is Trolly taking this topic seriously?
It's weird how women post pictures of themselves on social media all dolled up with the puckered lips and all that don't look anything like what they do in real life. Even stranger is they end up getting hundreds of likes. What a fake pathetic world we live in. It kind of reminds me of how fake these forums are because we can't really say what is on our minds. I feel sorry for the ladies who are under social pressure to look good. They have to spend hours getting ready each day. Us dudes(some of us) just pop out of bed looking good.

Of course you can say what's on your mind. Type whatever you like in word rectangle.

lolz, a bunch of middle-aged dudes judging objectively hot women for not being hot enough ITT and mongo is confused about why women try to enhance their appearance.
