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.
Alone the concept is racist. Alone the TERM. eug.... do you unverstand???!
Thats why its banned from everywhere.
Here too Im pretty sure, but Idont See that emforced now due to a lack of mods.
You are not even familar with the concept pf eugenics, how can you even talk about it? That makes you Look pathetic you know? Youre totaly ridiculing yourself.
GREEKS lucky,
They made an istitution of having sex with little boys as young ad idk 3 years old? Then they came up with that long revised practice of eugenics.
Eur stands for europe there and means pretty much what hitler said.
washoe, try not to give too much oxygen to those you disagree with.
Spoiler

Eugenics was an early-20th-century elitist movement based on the fear that the lower orders were outbreeding their betters. (The US, originating as a plantation society, was as usual different, and Germany also became horribly different, but in most of Europe at that time 'race' meant what we would now mean by 'class'.) Eugenicism was strongly related to the birth-control movement, which turned out to be a good thing, relieving ordinary women of perpetual fear of pregnancy, even though the movement's founders (see Marie Stopes in the UK and Margaret Sanger in the US) were at least partly motivated by eugenicist ideas.
I know. Hitler used it and many others.
It has however been banned for being super racist.
I like the theory that "eu" in "eugenics" means "Europe". Some A+ etymology there washoe.
What on earth are you talking about? Your posting ITT has been very odd in the last few days.
Which subjects would you like to talk about but feel unable to because of moderation, site rules, the law etc?

I remember back when we couldn't question the seriousness of covid or the efficacy of the vaccines and posts doing so were met with warnings and bans. So we shouldn't pretend like 2p2 is some bastion of free and open discussion. The very serious people could come back at any time.
