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.

Do you know what the website twoplustwo is?
ChatGPT

What the ****? Has it read the whole of 2+2?
It’s going to end up doxing everyone online lol.
He's pulling your leg regarding that second answer. I will admit that I ran over to my computer, full of excitement, because I had to try it out for myself. It was probably the most disappointing thing that happened to me today when I saw that it didn't work.
Edited to add:
I logged into ChatGPT, as it said I could then use 4.0 instead of 3.5, and it shockingly knows at least some general details about us.

You're making this **** up, there is no way it can "read" the forum and generate a synopsis like that, right? Right?
So I reached my ChatGPT 4.0 limit for the day before I realized I had to be more detailed in my questions. If you aren't detailed in your questions, you get answers like these:

do you know about the poster named Victor on twoplustwo.com?
I'm encountering consistent issues accessing detailed information about specific users on the Two Plus Two forums, including "Victor."

I am now counting down the hours until I can use this again!
Like, how does it know who is "controversial", or "contentious"? First of all, you need to have read, parsed, and understood all of their posts (and for both Victor and mets, all 3 of those things are no small feat), and secondly you need to make a very subjective judgement on their content as well as how other users respond to them. That's some scary ****.

I was especially surprised to see that ChatGPT knows about the Crossnerd / Mets drama. It is probably a good thing that I reached the limit for the night, as I would definitely be playing with this all night when I have to be up for work in a few hours.
In conclusion, FREE JBOUTON!

It is less detailed for posters with lower post counts than higher post counts. It had less detailed and not totally accurate info about me, stating that in addition to the politics forum I also post in NVG, which I don't believe I have ever done.
It seems to be very good when you ask very detailed questions, rather than just a general "who is this guy" type of question. Tomorrow I will ask it where El Diablo posts these days. Ooh, also, I need to know whether high rake is actually better for the game than low rake. The possibilities are endless!
There was more than one leap made, but really this doesn't seem especially important to continue with, so I'll withdraw my statement.
Yeah, my reading comprehension was rivalling Biden's, well, everything yesterday. I think I misread "expect more from strangers than you do from friends" as the opposite, sorry.
Lol at the chatgpt mets stuff. Solid gold.
Although they left out most of his work on pog.

LOL. Do one for me.
So maybe the hamsters that work the ChatGPT AI need their morning coffee, as the responses this morning are far less impressive than last night's. It took a few tries to even get any kind of answer, and fiddling around with the questions to get it to spit something new out made me reach my limit again. Maybe it works better in the middle of the night, when there are less people using it?

I mean, it's not wrong. He is pretty well regarded, by himself. I guess it's not yet human enough to be able to tell that someone posting "I am the world's foremost expert on rocket science and brain surgery" does not necessarily make it so.
d2, are you trying to say that high rake is better for the game than low rake? Do you even Ideal Poker???
JBouton is a real person who is very clearly suffering from mental health problems and this site is not at all good for it. It reflects rather poorly on you guys who want him to be your dancing monkey.
****ing hell, when Trolly is the voice of reason, it's probably time to stop trolling.
In my defense, targets are pretty thin on the ground these days. The useless ****ers keep getting themselves banned. I mean, the best we have right now is crypto guy, and he's meh.

While this is perfectly true, I would like to point out something for the record :
If someone writes a 1000 pages and 900 pages are full of complete and utterly insane thoughts and bad speculations, that does not categorically mean that the other 100 pages do not contain some genuinely interesting ideas.
