The politics subforum is a sideshow of stupidity moderated by a clown

I’ve been advised to take grievances to ATF

Your mod has explicitly stated the truth is not a priority. Decorum to people who don’t want to engage in the truth on the other hand is

Either shut this forum down or make it unchained again so people can air their grievances appropriately without fear of disproportionate reprisal. Browser is wholly unfit to moderate it

You know what browser, I’ll play your game for amusement sake and continue to just report posts that by your definition should be banned by lozen et Al

I don’t expect you to act since, you know, washoe didn’t get banned for ‘personal attacks’ but I’m perfectly content to prove you’re a hypocrite with no leg to stand on or force you to put your money where your mouth is

Or just don’t be a mod, there’s no shame in quitting

Wow. I certainly didn't see this development coming. I can't imagining paying anyone $1500 to moderate the Politics forum on 2+2, but if you are willing to do it, I'm sure someone will take the money.

if it is upfront, i said i would do it. take the money and run, but would be listed as a mod for a time.

By all means report posts you feel require mod attention. Between that and just following the rules yourself we should make great progress. Remember though that every situation is different and you won't see warnings or pms.

I think you may have mixed up me and e'd about putting money where his mouth is. He said he will pay jmitch $1500.

How did I insult you??

You conveniently never show any prove, and so, your accusations are
just baseless. If I did offend you in any way, I apologize. I did not mean to do that, and I did not do that imo.

libs gonna lib, is a common expression in this forum, which you cannot be aware of, since you never posted in this forum for the last couple years. nobody takes any offence to that, except you.

YOU came in hot with wild accusations and insults against poster lozen, to which you conveniently left out any proof, again. You just called him a liar out of nowhere. To which I replied to with "libtards gonna lib" Is that the insult you are talking about?

After this incident, you demanded a ban against me. I did not even reply to this, as it was so ridiculous. You did not get what you thought you would get as a reply and just ran over here, and continiued to insult, this time the mod.

If anyone should be banned it is you, for nonsense, and continuing with insults, as per your op.

I'm in for $1500 upfront to a charity, like one that supports voter registration, and another 2-3 or three greens who are willing to jump in.

Charity is great. If you get 2 others I'll donate 1k each to 3 charities you 3 choose. Provided this is allowed and Bowser agrees to never mod again.

It’ll be a cold day in hell before I pay you a penny to do literally anything, rest assured

I'm good with that. The only loophole to close is that e'd is only talking about you modding after Labor Day. I won't step down now and dump everything on ganstaman alone. So if Bobo finds a mod to replace me until Labor Day I'm set. Otherwise I'll have to stay until replaced by someone willing to work for the league minimum.

Then I can turn my mod attention to that boiling cauldron of hate known as venues & communities. People think politics gets heated but try convincing a true believer that the burgers at the food court are better than the ones at the poker snack bar. It turns ugly quickly.


This is bullshit. For one simple Le Creuset, I would reign down an era of terror on the politics forum it would only be spoken of in whispers for centuries to come


I like the Shallot color 👍

I resisted but my curiosity got the best of me so I had to google Le Creuset. Very nice. I was relieved that you weren't willing to do this for a fancy croissant.


As far as I am concerned, jmitch was the first to accept the offer of $1500 so he is the only mod I'd step down for. The condition I stated was it had to go into the mods personal account prior to me stepping down. If the mod then wants to donate it to charity that's his business. And lastly the time period btwn jmitch starting on Labor Day and me stepping down has to be addressed. I'm not willing to just leave ganstaman on his own for 5 months.

So that's the deal as far as I'm concerned. I guess Bobo would have to be involved in all of this as an approval authority.


I vote for crossnerd. Everyone needs a good dutch oven.

I desperately wanted to avoid responding to this thread and just washing my hands of the politics experience but my god this is a stupid post

Your expectation is that I treat obvious trolling with legitimate discourse to elevate trolling to legitimate discourse. Somehow you see nothing wrong with this. And somehow you think it’s more of a sin that I insult trolling but the trolling itself is perfectly fine

Therefore I give you this challenge:

I have no idea how you interpreted anything I have posted in this thread as meaning that. As for how to respond to trolls, let's see if I'm making up my own rules or if the sitewide rules address this. Oh look. They do!

If you believe someone is trolling, we ask that you use the “Report a Post” button rather than engaging.


I'll do it for $1499.

You guys have politics again? Neat!


Some of you guys are insufferable.

THANK you. Seriously, you can fit a whole chicken in one of those overpriced cast iron wonders.

Right? I use my cheap offbrand one from Costco a ton.


For the record, I don't really have time to mod Politics. I might do something once in a while, but it's mostly been browser, and if he leaves without someone else stepping in then it will basically be unmodded. Which maybe is ok by some.

One of my jobs has decided that this website is gambling and so isn't allowed on its WiFi. I could turn off WiFi, but service isn't great there. I could ask for this site to be classified as not gambling, but they may wonder why I need to be on this site at work anyway.


hey, i'm all good to be listed as a mod for whatever time was listed for the $1500. you don't have to worry about is ganstaman. i have never stepped foot in politics and have no plan to either. just wanting the money.

You can use a VPN on your phone while being on the company WiFi.

Fun fact: Half the time 2+2 actually blocks my work VPN instead of the other way around.

Do any of the forums allow us to argue about the poor acting skills of crisis actors being paid to pretend to be corpses?

Israel Gaza thread has all your needs. just search for Pallyworld.


They are trying to ban everyone.

Paradox, bc they they are the ones blundering it and the rules.

Crossnerd is biased and would not make a good mod imo.


Dont agree with everything but Browser is a good mod. Your efforts are much appreciated.
