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.
The fact luckbox doesn't even know what he's vacuuming up with his nose half the time certainly explains a lot.
I've only actually done cocaine in Colombia one time and that was 6 years ago, fwiw. I have done other coca products more recently but not the processed and refined variety.
It isn't really something that ever comes up in the circles I tend to run in and I'm only rarely in big cities or involved in party scenes.

Other coca products? Like crack?
This stuff called mambe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ypadu
They take the coca leaves and toast them and then make a very fine powder out of them and take that powder and stick it in their gums.
It's still addictive but not nearly as bad for you as cocaine is.
Back when I was staying at the hippie commune in Peru it would be funny because everything had to be cooked with wood fires because we were in the jungle with no electricity and there was only one spot to boil water, and it would be a big fight in the morning between the people addicted to coca tea and the coffee addicts about who was getting their fix first. I would usually wake up before anyone else to make sure I got coffee going.
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.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Most of my friends are conservative and I grew up in a well established conservative family. This is projection.
Good luck with everything Bowser.
So who is modding the forum now? It is important to know because different mods have their own sacred cow topics to avoid.
Here come the Nazism and eugenics links....and Lb arguing that it's just talk about zygotes.
Can you cite an example of when someone has posted nazi and eugenics stuff and I've argued it was just talk about zygotes or are you lying as per usual?
Eugenics isn't a banned topic I hope, I don't think people should get banned if they want to discuss aborting a fetus with deformities for example.
Or if they claim "I have a genetic disorder and I dont feel like I should have children because they might inherit it".
And yes, both examples are 100% eugenics, definitionally.
Maybe jjj you wanted to say that proposing violent eugenics is a ban able topic?

He's not trying to say anything.
These dipshits always come right back to eugenics, don't they?
Racing lawnmowers are the happiest lawnmowers.
they look funny, break down frequently, need a ton of maintenance, and aren't good for anything after a while. burn them all
Can we just skip ahead to the part where you talk about which races are the dumbest?
Can we stay where you and everyone who agrees with elective abortion for Down syndrome fetuses being legal, are pro eugenics definitionally?
I am just surprised as a pro-eugenics person, you keep using that word as if it had any negative connotation.
I don't know who relabeled this thread as general chat thread. I have no objection to the thread being used for banter, but as an FYI, I probably won't be reading it regularly to see if there is a moderation question buried somewhere in the pages of chat.

You could put a mod note in the first post instructing posters to report their own post if they have a question they want the mods to see?

Man, you're the expert on this stuff, you tell me.
