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.
when people mentioned wookie's modding the posts were instantly deleted bc he doesnt post here. when people talked **** about Toothsayer (who really posted some crazy stuff) they were instantly deleted bc he doesnt post here and is permaed.
but now we got this stuff.
I don't know about toothsayer, but I'm pretty sure criticisms of Wookie's moderation were not deleted and can still be found in the old mod thread.
you are the logic guy. figure it out.
I wonder what he was posting on Facebook to warrant having his door knocked down by Canadian police. Can it be that the SHADOW MODS were finally able to discredit and permanently silence our good friend, Button?
I guess all those years of paranoia have finally paid off - they really did come for him.

and I do take it as a badge of honor that you guys were allowed to talk **** about for 3 whole weeks while I was banned until ganstaman decided to meekly tell you to stop.
bull
Lighten up, Victor. The guy was posting here just a few days ago and he is openly talking about his situation now. It is only natural for people to be curious about such a prolific poster. If El Diablo was to do something that made it onto the news, I think people would talk about it on 2p2, even though he hasn't posted on these forums in years.
I wouldnt say he is openly talking about it and he cant respond anyway to clarify.
you guys wanted him gone and now hes gone so why are you talking about him?
Lol what? Ok, first question, I've heard of this werewolf thing before but still have no idea tf it is. So, what is it, and why is it worth murdering over?
if you're villa seer and make it to like d9 with 5 live peeks that win the game but ppl don't find them ..... still nah. no

criticized zionism, probably

It is a game like mafia. A lot of smart people used to play it. It is of course not worth murdering over(wtf) but there used to be a wider variety of psychopaths on 2p2. I myself have received death threats many times.

I never wanted him gone. And it might have escaped your attention, but we talk about people who don't post here all the time. Granted, most of them have probably never heard of this web site, but still.

you are supposed to be the smart guy so I gotta wonder why you think "talking about people who dont post here" matters at all to this conversation.

Ok, it's a game like another game I've never heard of. I don't feel like I'm making a great amount of progress in my quest for enlightenment here.

Oh, well, that clears everything up.

damn you got many?
I myself only have 1 death threat on this forum. I gotta step my game up. (it was unmodded and they actually blamed me, shocker).

it is a social game. I was never very good at it because I was too busy with other things when the games ran. Although I am often online now, in my early 20’s I might have been online less than 2-3 hours a week. You have to look up/ google the rules.
Lebron James doesnt post here. I think its ok to talk about him. I dont think its cool to talk about jbouton and dig into his personal life. get it? do you need a venn diagram?
Yes, mostly revolving around me helping a couple posters. Its a long story and not a bryce ama but yes that happened,
I believe you. sorry that happened. it is quite unnerving. in general, bullies get away with it and are protected by the authorities. this site is no different.

Can you please draw me a Venn diagram containing "digging into someone's personal life" and "reposting stuff from someone's public twitter account that they linked from a public forum"? Take your time, I know it's a bit of a poser.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(par...)
Mafia, also known as Werewolf, is a Russian social deduction game created by Dimitry Davidoff in 1986. The game models a conflict between two groups: an informed minority (the mafiosi or the werewolves) and an uninformed majority (the villagers). At the start of the game, each player is secretly assigned a role affiliated with one of these teams. The game has two alternating phases: first, a night-phase, during which those with night-killing-powers may covertly kill other players, and second, a day-phase, in which all surviving players debate and vote to eliminate a suspect. The game continues until a faction achieves its win-condition; for the village, this usually means eliminating the evil minority, while for the minority, this usually means reaching numerical parity with the village and eliminating any rival evil groups.
it's like "among us", but on here it's obviously text-based, played through posting and whatnot
no I dont think I can help you. bullies ghana bully.
