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.

Where has Washoe gone? We miss you, buddy!
Are people supposed to be posting videos which they haven't even watched themselves?
Washoe frequently doesn't check in for several weeks so nothing unusual
Looks like 100% of the current temp bans on the site are from P&S. Congratulations, friends ♥👍
Those slackers need to work harder, we can't hold down the fort forever.
Don't be so humble! Don't forget to give yourself some credit as well! 😀
Any translation available?
What’s the mod line on posters telling other posters that they support terrorism despite having been repeatedly told they don’t?
We’re nearing critical mass
So it’s ok to tel a poster they support terrorists despite them posting many times that they don’t, but not ok to tell a poster they support genocide? I honestly don’t get it.
Come on, friend. Boids got banned for calling you a rape denier. You got banned for calling Boids a genocide enthusiast. You guys have been warned many many many times not to characterize one another in such ways in that thread.
Right, but it's not BOIDS I'm talking about.
I assume that I am one of the people you're talking about. You actually tried to bait me into saying that again after I had adjust stated that I had nothing more to say about the topic.
You've made the accusation numerous times and you're the only poster there who still maintains it. It's a total lie, as you obviously know, and very offensive.
and the mods dont care
I was also obviously done with doing it.
You're just butt hurt because I didn't do a take-backsy.
I'm not after a retraction. I just want the constant stream of insults from you to stop.
It had already stopped. You kept it going in the thread, and then you brought it over here to continue it.
