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.
Rick has many strong (and correct) opinions about wymyn
I have no idea why this got rickroll so riled up. The conversation is stupid from the beginning, but when someone posted a picture of someone to prove whatever point they were trying to make, rick starts shouting - FLITERS! MAKEUP! I just don't get it.
d2 summed it up perfectly, his paragon of beauty is an otherwise attractive woman who drapes herself with ai filters and spouts talking points he already agrees with
some of the saddest incel behavior i've ever witnessed so it deserved a good lol imo

Damn, I said all that? I really need to stop sniffing glue.

Bit harsh. As Glenda Jackson's Cleopatra said in the Morecambe & Wise sketch, 'All men are fools, and what makes them so is beauty, like what I have got.'
I remember him having some pretty revolting takes on trans women
Dunno if you're reading other people's posts or not, but pretty much everyone here is clowning on you.
Glad I wasn't around for the nonsense about this tiktok lady. Beauty and attractiveness are largely subjective traits. What a pointless thing to argue about!
(but since it's the topic, I'll say this lady is obviously hot, but also too lean/fit for my ideal taste, I like the soft/thick women who slather on the makeup; fake, long, colorful fingernails, thick eye makeup, all that good **** -- I'm a sucker for a hot mess -- but I'd definitely never argue that another guy is an idiot for preferring a more natural look)
Almost nothing is more consistently cringe than listening to people on this forum discuss women.
women...but are they really that hot?
ok you're going on the block now and i'm going to stop advocating in your favor whenever people are calling for your permaban
intentionally unspecific accusations like this is the work of an absolute scumbag
you do so because by leaving it vague it'll be whatever the reader can imagine is the worst possible take
whereas my position is that trans women shouldn't compete in women's sports and we shouldn't be allowing children to have surgical transition - i know i'm a monster
seriously gfy you're absolute trash for posting such stuff
After a long night of making love, the guy notices a photo of another man on the woman’s nightstand by the bed.
He begins to worry.
"Is this your husband?" he nervously asks.
"No, silly," she replies, snuggling up to him.
"Your boyfriend, then?" he continues.
"No, not at all," she says, nibbling away at his ear.
"Is it your dad or your brother?" he inquires, hoping to be reassured.
"No, no, no! You are so hot when you’re jealous!" she answers.
"Well, who in the hell is he, then?" he demands.
She whispers in his ear: "That’s me before the surgery."

I didn't specify my allegations because I didn't remember them other than vague recollections of you saying gross stuff about "ladyboys" and less vague recollections of you routinely punching down on trans athletes in America -- and yes, you are a monster, well said.
I laughed at all of your 4d chess idiocy about "intentionally leaving accusations vague" to fool the imagination of other posters. No, I posted the way I did for much more simple reasons: 1. I'm lazy. 2. You suck.
In conclusion, go **** YOURSELF, you reactionary-ass transphobic little creep. Go spazz out at a guy for insufficiently appreciating AI filters some more.
OH NOOOOOOOO, PLEASE, GOD, NOOOOOOOO

Bro, you are entertaining but you seem perpetually apoplectic at the world and everyone in it. Have you tried a feng shui consultant? Maybe your desk or chair are misoriented. I think it would really help you recover your equanimity and make peace with the world.
In conclusion, I'm probably going to post some more pictures of my internet girlfriend soon. I'm just trying to wait long enough that it doesn't seem too weird before I do it again.
I've been thinkin.
Make up is ancestral and comparing to 17th century( or 2k years ago) , it's pretty moderate these days.
Made me wondering why I prefered natural/no/less make up.

they had more to hide/distract you from back in the day.
horrible nutrition, much more frequent diseases, terrible terrible teeth to distract you from and so on.
btw makeup like you are thinking about was only available to the upper crust of society, not normal women
OH NOOOOOOOO, PLEASE, GOD, NOOOOOOOO

This response is pretty disturbing. Men participating in woman's sports is obviously not right. Children being allowed to have a surgical transition is horrific. How can a biologically born man know what it's like to live in a women's body? I can't imagine the level of regret these people must have when they find out it's not what they thought.
