Moderation Questions
The last iteration of the moderation discussion thread was a complete disaster. Numerous attempts to keep it on topic fa
lol typical leftist social manipulation tactic. you’re posting on a public forum bro, don’t consider that I respond to you inserting myself into anything.
And again, you posted yourself that someone else wanted to ban victor but you intervened. so yes, very explicitly other people noticed how racist he was and wanted to ban him, but you went to bat for him. So when I call him your attack dog, etc, it’s because you want to virtue signal about racism when you actually don’t have a principled stance against it at all. It’s not me demanding for victor to be banned for (((noticing))).
I feel strongly that loud stupid people have an obligation to be more pleasant
There are plenty of spaces on the internet where “opinions” like Luciom’s are not only allowed, but celebrated. But at least you are aware that those spaces produce that type of poster and those types of opinions. You know what you’re getting when someone is a 4chan guy. Or a Twitter “free speech” activist. You know what you’re getting.Is that we want here? To have there be spa
I'm here.
I think banning Nazis and racists is a good idea.
That isn’t fair. He is not bad faith at all. He doesn’t even really try to skirt the edges of what is allowed. He just says what he believes and faces whatever consequences there is for it.
I agree with this.
He sometimes says stuff that personally I find disgusting, but I think he is honestly posting what he actually believes.
You need to learn the difference between censorship for being unpopular and rejection for being bad science. Your racist pseudoscience is not being censored; it is being rejected. Science has no personal opinions or political agenda; it has evidence, methods, and reproducibility. We will not tolerate racist claims under the guise of “science” that is not based in th
In theory, you are correct.
In practice, 'science' is as ideologically and politically driven as is almost everything else. Always follow the $$$$$$$$$$$$.
Ok boomer
Given how loud stupid left wing activists are responsible for so much of the unpleasantness in our society today, this is an interesting take.
Yes. They love to weaponize science and “expertise” for their left-wing political agenda.
For months, public health experts have urged Americans to take every precaution to stop the spread of Covid-19—stay at home, steer clear of friends and extended family, and absolutely avoid large gatherings.
Now some of those experts are broadcasting a new message: It’s time to get out of the house and join the mass protests against racism.
“We should always evaluate the risks and benefits of efforts to control the virus,” Jennifer Nuzzo, a Johns Hopkins epidemiologist, tweeted on Tuesday. “In this moment the public health risks of not protesting to demand an end to systemic racism greatly exceed the harms of the virus.”
“The injustice that’s evident to everyone right now needs to be addressed,” Abraar Karan, a Brigham and Women’s Hospital physician who’s exhorted coronavirus experts to amplify the protests’ anti-racist message, told me. “While I have voiced concerns that protests risk creating more outbreaks, the status quo wasn’t going to stop #covid19 either,” he wrote on Twitter this week.

I'm still wondering about that ratio of substance to insult rule.
He is tremendously bad faith. Unless you don't think misusing and redefining words to make and exaggerate your point is good faith.
Right. Either people aren't reading the relevant posts (and you can hardly blame them given the volume) or they're forgetting the numerous risible attempts to redefine a word like "immigrant" to mean anything other than it's standard definition of someone who's changed their permanent residence from one country to another, purely because he wanted to use the case of someone born in Wales who killed children as a means of smearing immigrants.
It's definitional bad faith.
But thank god the RIGHT are supporting FREE SPEECH.
There should be no expectation of free speech on 2p2
I agree 100%
That said, some moderation decisions seem inconsistent.
BobtheSlob was literally posting nothing but over-the-top trolling for a whole week before getting banhammered.
Almost all of SRM's posts are zero-content rants. (He finally got a temp-ban which is kewl though)
CRD got a quick temp-ban for having a couple of heated discussions with CN.
All that said, you and CN and KingSpew do a boffo job. I appreciate you folks.
I don't keep a scorecard, lag.... why do you?
