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.
A 2020 Eurispes report revealed that 15.6% of Italians contend that the Holocaust never happened, and that 23.9% of the population adhere to the anti-Semitic conspiracy theories which claim that Jews control their economy.[18]
You must be one of those 24%.
Be honest with us.
And what is it with people from napoli?
Why are they being discriminated?
Why is the vesuv supposed to get them??
You said you are a right winger.
What do you vote for?
Meloni?
I dont get why napoli. Sicily is south.
Not napoli.
Why not rome? Or venice?
Lega also attacked Rome a lot, seen as the symbol of "centralism" vs their wish for federalism, but not roman residents much afaik (similarly to when some Americans say bad things about Washington DC, they usually mean the federal government and the bureaucracy).
Venice regions has long been a stronghold of Lega votes so why should they talk against themselves?
Btw according to Lega original stance the south is everything down the Rubicon river (the famous river Caesar passed with armies, the old border of Rome province proper). So even Tuscany wasn't interesting for them when they formed as a party and for the first decade +. They run on a separatist platform initially, the. Federalist
This round yes, but every round I vote for the person/party who can credibly do the most to reduce the role of the state primarily in the economy, secondarily ok society at large. That once met what was a center left leader (Renzi) and can mean independents in local elections.
I am a one issue voter, less state everywhere (priority the economy).
Ok

Protection from thalassemia is literally one gene, and that determines which areas you can live in decently as a group before the invention of modern medicine.
And what's your point? That there are a few genetic differences between humans based on geography? You don't say. If you thought about it you'd realise that's why you share more of your genes with Africans than Italians.

He's highlighted Napoli because it has a large and very poor African community that certain Italians hate with a vengeance and think are little better than animals, the kind of Italian that likes to talk about Vesuvius erupting and killing them all.
So he's avoided answering your question because he doesn't want to get banned but uses the Trumpian "Some people say xxx" instead.

No that's not true - you want an overbearing authoritarian state that hands out death sentences like parking tickets to anyone who doesn't obey or even agree with government policy, and we know this is true because you've told us.

You are offending my libertarian ethnicity, this is very racist

No, Napoli has far fewer immigrants as a % of the population than basically any mid-size + city in the north (immigration in italy is almost all in the center-north for obvious economic reasons). It's actual italians from napoli (an in general the south, but napoli and the napoli region campania the most), that some northern italians hate.
We are talking the people italians in the north discriminated against 50-60 years ago (there was a huge wave of internal migration south to north at the time), with rental listing specifically going like "no terroni" (terroni is a very loaded derogatory term for southerns in general, based on the idea they were farmers -terra means land- and so rural and so uncivilized and so on). Some places also had signs like "vietato l'ingresso ai cani e ai terroni" (no entrance for dogs and terroni) in bars and the like.
Btw yours was a completly unprovoked personal attack again here, based on some silly idea you have of what i wrote about napoli, basically a completly clueless comment wrote simply to attack me and claim i am racists against the africans in napoli (???) while i was describing how residents of an area can often be insulted heavily, hated even for remote cultural reasons by some, but that doesn't mean being from that area is an ethnicity.
You should just stop all personal attacks as per forum rules.

Well the divide in Italy between wealthy modern North and agricultural, poorer South is well known. The political party Lega you cite is really called Lega Nord and was originally the Northern League which formed part of Berlusconi's coalition.
I assume you're in the North hence the sour grapes about the treatment of Southerners moving to the North, or maybe your family were some of those who migrated North?

I didn't condemn Napoli at all, stop lying and stop the personal insults and attacks. I told you what some people say of residents of Naples because you claim it could be nothing of the sort of calling blacks savage, when it was about geographical residence. Instead, it is.
It's obscene how you keep attacking me personally, inventing stuff while you do it, and you should stop.
googling " Libertarian Culture" and posting the first thing you find is a magnificent self-own (as if anarchists would have anything to do with the fascism you support).
As I already said, your views are not at all libertarian because you support the denial of freedom of expression to other people. Well, actually you do allow them to speak out against your ideal government but they will be killed shortly thereafter.

anarchist and libertarian culture lol. different cultures with stuff in common
What is this weird culture/race/ethnicity debate?
Culture is a set of shared customs and beliefs amongst a group of individuals.
Race doesn't really exist in humans but to the extent that It does, it represents clusters of genes. In biology it's mostly synonymous with subspecies.
Ethnicity is just a term that we use to describe a person's genetic background.
Hopefully that helps
Luckbox with a surprisingly rational post.
