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.
Not even this guy?
youre way off champ.
its one of the most expensive places in the world as you say.
then the crime rate should not be average. burgeleries and invasions should not be higher as they are they should be lower.
but they arent. thats bc nothing happens to criminals. its a gangstas paradise.
He also likes to address me personally in threads, much like washoe did:
It's been a while but I don't think that exchange sounds anything like washoe (nor any of CMON_MAN's posting). Besides, washoe's account isn't even banned so why would he decide to create a new one?
I wonder what goes through someone's mind when literally everyone around them is giving them the same criticism, mostly in a constructive manner, and they pig-headedly refuse to accept the feedback. I can sort of get deluding yourself into thinking that one or two specific people have it out for you, but we're up to like a dozen people saying exactly the same thing in slightly different ways.
It's like a real life version of this meme.
These posts will not age well for you. When it comes to morality, I’ve already been validated at the highest level.

Hahaha, homeslice is threatening me with the wrath of his sky fairy. I'm shaking in my little satanic booties.
Hate to tell you this broseph, but this whole religion thing is just make believe for grown men and women who lack the requisite mental development and emotional maturity to accept reality and mortality for what it is, or the self control do what is right without the threat of someone watching over them. That would be you, not me, so I'm not overly concerned with what will happen when your sky daddy sees my posts.

I suppose I'd be curious to know how to know what is right, or at least what your answer is there.

How do you know that every time you eat ice cream, you don't awake a demon that will torture your soul in the aftermath?
I have a book that says so, validated by people who think it's true.
Until you can disprove this, you can't eat ice cream.
See how it works?
A more serious response would be: I don't understand the form of the question, since I find the implication that morality is derived from belief in a omnipotent, omnipresent preternatural being to be a complete non sequitur. If you can explain to me how these things are related, then I can try to answer your question.
Even hardened religious nutjobs surely acknowledge that morality existed long before monotheistic religions.

It’s not a threat, calm down. I’m telling you, matter-of-factly, you’re making a fool of yourself. You just don’t realize it.

Ok this has nothing to do with religion. How do you personally know what is right?

"Making a fool of yourself" implies that those witnessing my behaviour think I am a fool. Judging by how this thread has gone for you so far, which one of us would you say more accurately fits this description?
Or is this another one of those phrases that means something completely different in craigspeak?
Some of it is learned from your upbringing, some is innate and intuitive, some is codified by statute. Lots of sources.
Most of it should just be intuitive. Do you think if nobody were around to teach you how to **** you wouldn't be able to figure it out for yourself when you came across your first vagina?
Again, how do you know that hell doesn't exist?
How do you prove a negative?
You treat everything as existing with 0 probability until elements arose that increase that prior.
la place equiprobability axiom doesn't apply to all the describable scenarios
Not 0 probability, but null.
If everyone stays in their comfort zone, and the status quo continues, not only does democracy fail, but civilization will perish.
It will perish with people in their comfort zone pointing the finger at others. Corruption reigns supreme because the comfort zone is corrupt.

Easy for you to say.

We have amused ourselves to death

I was hoping you would say you get it from Jane Austin or something but this works. Thanks for answering.

This.
I see some of the similarities, but the tone is quite different. Only way it's him is if washoe was an act, and now he's changing gears.

There is a high end swingers/sex club in London called "Killing Kittens" (don't ask me how I know this). Apparently the name comes from nuns telling catholic schoolgirls that every time they masturbate a kitten dies.
