Moderation Questions and General Chat Thread
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.
And no one in this forum except you even picked up on it at all,
bro what. I just posted it.

Your proof that this was being pushed is a guy from three days after oct 7 ASKING if it was true???? Not saying it was true but ASKING if it was true????
just asking questions
actually my proof that
And no one in this forum except you even picked up on it at all,
is not true was that indeed someone other than me picked up on it bc you know they posted about it even before I did.
we are 10 years away from you guys being like, oh ya we totally opposed this war of extermination from the beginning.
proly less tbh

I think he created this alternate reality in his mind where we were all having discussions about Hamas beheading 40 babies. And he cant really find receipts because those discussions didnt actually happen anywhere but in his mind, so he is kind of just flailing now.
Anyways, FWIW I accept Hamas did not behead 40 babies on October 7th, and I dont remember what I exactly thought on October 8-12 in the initial fog of war; but it is likely some of it was wrong in hindsight.
And no, I have zero expectation you (Victor) would ever make even this very minor mea culpa, despite the hundreds of posts you have made making allegations that there is no evidence is true.
well I never said we had this big discussion here. it was however something the media and many pro-Israeli people pushed so much that it went viral. it was a big story and even the president of the USA subscribed to it.

If you are pro-Palestine you should welcome the Israelis as liberators. The problem is that Hamas will murder them if they do that.
Why are the far left so pro Palestine / anti Israel anyway? I get that Victor just parrots whatever dogshit he reads in his Stalin daily digest or whatever, but where does this support of Palestine and opposition to Israel originate?
proly the constant stream of decapitated and/or burned alive babies on our twitter feeds. that, or antisemitism.
why did Nelson Mandela support Palestine? its a mystery. or actually, bc he was a terrorist that loved fellow terrorists.
they either see it and arent bothered. or they are unaware and refuse to do even the barest minimum of due diligence before confidently spewing on internet forums.
Kill to death ratio
Israel has thousands of Palestinian hostages
Palestine had like 50 Israeli hostages
Then they did some hostage swaps or something? Maybe they were just hostage talk ideas

they tend to latch onto whichever group they feel at the moment is the most at risk and don't do much beyond that
like this is about one of the stupidest movements i've ever seen in my life
these are people who would be stoned to death if they were freely gay in a palestinian state
so don't bother trying to attach logic nor reason behind it

Right, everyone except the commie donkeys are just completely unaware of what's going on.
Anyway, I was asking about you and your ilk, I wasn't asking you since I know whatever you respond is going to be horseshit, so I'll just wait till I get a response from an adult.
weird bc you are so smart. took me about 5 seconds to figure out it was Killed to Death Ratio. google is your friend?
I was going to assume that I dont need to describe the term "hostage" to you but I now I realize I proly should ask anway. do you need a definition for "hostage"?

The **** does this have to do with the far left? You are answering some question I didn't ask.
And WTF is a kill to death ratio? Isn't it 1:1? Or does one side "kill" and the other side "suffer death" or something?
Maybe we should think netenyahu is a reasonable dude acting in a judicious manner. we are being very unfair ; next we will not be keen on that nice mr trump ffs

Oppressor/oppressed
Colonizer/indigenous
America bad/fake anti-imperialism crowd
Historically there have been some pro-Israel leftists due to labor zionism and other Israeli socialist projects, but not anymore because of the brain rot of Western communists.
Hilarious because China has had muslim pogroms which leftists generally like to deny. Way worse than anything Israel has done.
