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.
If you disagree with Bryce, it means that you oppose free speech. Don't try to argue that point, as it is self-evident. At least it would be to somebody that has the necessary high social skills.
In reality, I have made 10 posts in this thread in many months, and most of those posts involved explaining other posts. I have zero concern or desire to censor your position but apparently you all have a strong desire to censor mine, which in my opinion goes against freedom. Yes you have a right to disagree. but lol at trying to cast a principled libertarian as some sort of authoritarian because you disagree on tone without facts.
The bolded is ridiculous but not sexist.
Criticism of an individual woman for being a gold digger is not sexist. Plenty of men in poker who live off their wives supporting them, they could be called the same thing.
Samantha Abernathy has had success in life and is an intriguing character, even by my harsh standards of what that means. She is a graduate of one of the best design schools in america, a very successful poker player, and compared to 99.999% of poker players is iconic.
There is 0.0 actual evidence she is a “goldigger” .
Who is trying to censor you??? You have always been a highly regarded, beloved poster on these forums!

That is not entirely true. I was banned many many times, and mat sklansky unbanned me a few times when no one else understood , which was kind, because I do indeed think in an unusual way. Thank you Mat.

Ok, what year was that? Was that even in this decade?
You are seriously grasping at straws, Bryce. You are one of the most liked people on these forums and have been for a long time. You are probably the last person here that should be playing the victim.

And why would any criticism of her, even if incorrect, be sexism?

You do understand that telling you that you're wrong about something and attempting to censor you are totally different things, right? Right? Because right now I'm not convinced you know what "censor" means.

that's not how it works for all his friends, all the groups he talks with, all his political positions, all his activism.
He actively wants to censor anyone who disagrees with the takes that are "obviously moral" like most people on the radical left do, so he thinks everyone reasons the same.

bryce,
i dont agree with 99% of what you say, but i find you to be a likeable poster/person.

all of her achievements mean nothing to me. shes just hot as lava and i wouldn't mind making a nice soup stock with a pair of her used socks and a few cubes of fine bullion.
Cross and I go back a long ways. I've got nothing but respect for her and what you just witnessed was the utmost in civility on both sides. Her undertitle even comes from me.
lucky she was right there. and you werent so much imo.
anyway, whats up with the colombian gold, have you tried?

I had a Venezuelan coffee farmer once tell me that there are three types of gold in Colombia: black gold, green gold, and white gold.
Black gold is oil, green gold is coffee, and white gold is what you think it is. I've tried two out of three.

Sounds like you're showering in gold over there.

no, colombian gold is mj, lucky. look it up, also look up punto rojo.
that farmer didnt know. there are other farmers there that know that stuff becuase they are growing it or just know about it.
why you ask a venezuelan farmer about farming in colombia? ask colombian farmers! are you in venezuela now?

Like 10% of the population in Colombia in Venezuelan. Back when Colombia was going through its 50 year long guerrila war and drug violence, Colombians would flee to Venezuela. Now it's the opposite.
heroin doesnt exist anymore. its all just fetty. well, even thats getting phased out for tranq dope. capitalism sucks. Marxism will bring back the good ole days of the heroin hug.
