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.
i think donkjr would make a fine mod in the school of mclovin
I found Bowser better than the median mode on Reddit or random vbullettin forums about "hot topics".
I find rococo even better at it ofc
Why not just stay green, lurk like you did before, and act when you happen to come across or an obvious bullshit account an off the rails post from a reg. I'm not sure how much the regs are going to need babysitting but it might not require that much effort. But I could be wrong.
I don't get the gag. I always assumed you lived somewhere in Manhattan. Maybe not the upper east side. Pretty sure you admitted as much at some point.
Just a running joke that Roc is filthy rich basically. I have no idea if he is or not btw. He seems to have a lot of free time to spend here lol.
We can all pitch in on some sort of payment like shipping you a nice bottle of wine - D2 will take care of that.

I see. I'm not familiar enough with Manhattan to know whether it's the upper east side or the upper west side or midtown or wherever where the filthy rich there live.

Neither am I, I Googled something like "wealthiest area in NYC". I think Upper East Side is mostly old money anyway, but could be mistaken. Makes me think of the sets in Cruel Intentions.

all of it... up until a certain point where it gets a little dark for their tastes
been housing searching in manhattan past year, can't get anything <3k a month and those are really tough to come by
most listing below 3k a month are fake/bait and switches/gobbled up so fast they gone by the time you see the listing

Sounds like slums. Do they even have indoor plumbing at that price?

It often depends on where you live in the neighborhood. On the Upper East Side or the Upper West Side, it's very expensive near Central Park and much less so as you move away from the park. I guess the billionaire class mostly lives around Central Park, but other neighborhoods like Hudson Yards, Tribeca, and the West Village probably have higher median home prices.
The most expensive neighborhoods in Brooklyn also are very expensive now compared to 20 years ago.
Rococo, I am a lawyer-scrub that has been trying to eek out a middle-class existence for the last decade and a half. Please teach me how to be a rich lawyer. Thank you! 😀

You aren't going to find much in the most desirable neighborhoods in Manhattan or Brooklyn for less than $3k per month, and anything you do find is likely to be a shithole.
If I was renting in that price range, I would look at some neighborhood in Queens with good food, Harlem, or an up and coming neighborhood in Brooklyn like Bed-Stuy. But it really depends on where you are travelling for work.

or... are you by any chance in the market for an au pair? i can teach your children about variance
The upper east side must have been very hoity-toity in the 1970s, as that's where the Jeffersons moved to.
"We're movin' on up, to the east side..."
