it is a little strange the the dmc5 review thread was closed because there were no reviews out (except there was one from famitsu) and the div2 thread has no reviews and hasn't be touched. it's almost like the mods are completely incompetent and apply the rules they make up on the fly however they want.

Lovecraft died at age 46, if we assume all of his letters were written over the course of about 20 years and he wrote 100,000, that's over 13 letters per day, every day

Anyone who says policy wins presidential elections is naive. That isn't how presidential elections are ever won.

Local politics? Absolutely. Presidential elections are reality shows where the most charismatic person wins.

I'm not even gonna bother looking up the post where cheebo says that bernie has no policy and hillary does during 16, cause we all know he said that.

Update.

Dropped some goodies off to Maria to say thanks. She was feeling alot better. Was super appreciative.

She told that she didn't see the lady but she wrote her a decent email.

The lady replied that "She'd do it all over again"

Can‘t wait for the next update and he and Maria get married.  :heartbeat

It's already been mentioned but the latest Depp / Heard thread has a ton of meta commentary going on for some reason. I wouldn't be surprised if in a couple of weeks some of the people there are going to be, coincidentally, banned...

Ever noticed there isn't a feedback thread and if you're banned you can't even talk to the mod that banned you? I used to be a super mod on Narutoforums and we'd actually message people we were warning and / or banning and we even had a subforum only banned members could see and post in so we could actually talk with them.

There's no communication between staff and members on this forum at all and that's something they definitely need to change. Shame there's no feedback forum for us to suggest these changes.

narutoforums has a better bans and appeals process than the self-attributed largest video game forum on the internet :o

I made a thread asking why we don't have an official ban appeal process, which was quickly closed because apparently there is a ban appeal process.
:thinking

Quote
I had a few back and forth messages with a mod regarding the process and told them about a previous 1-month ban that I had received where I emailed Resetera on their official email as well as DM'd through Twitter and never received an email back or even a read on Twitter. I was told that they must have missed it and that they were sorry that happened.
:gurl

Quote
Now, this was 2 months after the fact and I had already served my ban, but felt salty because I had never been banned before and had 0 opportunity to defend or explain my original post (which was wrongfully interpreted). So while there apparently is an appeal process, it clearly isn't making a difference since I rarely see anyone's ban overturned and I wonder if it's because mods aren't reading them or they just blindly reject all appeals.

Machiavelli observed that while it may be difficult to seize power from an absolute ruler and a populace who have no freedoms, it is relatively easy to maintain authority when you have done so.
Conversely, while it may be easy to seize power in a principality where the subjects enjoy a great degree of personal freedom, it is extremely difficult to maintain authority, as the subjects will rebel against attempts to remove freedoms they already enjoy.

And if you can't apply Machiavelli to the cliques, favoritism, back stabbing, mud slinging and intrigues of Forum Dramas, I don't know where you can.

I guess all the "duration pending" is because an admin or a mod captain or a certain number of mods need to sign off ban over a certain length or something... Maybe that was already discussed at one point.

Or it's the appeal system at work ! :salute

Technically they've said the Mod Captains have to approve all bans, but I bet it's actually only for bans of a certain length. When you use the banbot to look at some other duration pending ones they're often like a month and such.

Not much point in having day bans approved. They probably rubber stamp every three day and week long ban no matter what, except like in that Airport food joke case where the thread threw a fit.

Concern trolling about Omar's statements. That he couldn't let go of that spilled into multiple threads and eventually led to him making absurd hoop jumping analogies regarding Israel and stuff.

Post that did him in: https://www.resetera.com/threads/rep-ilhan-omar-the-%E2%80%9Chope-and-change%E2%80%9D-offered-by-barack-obama-was-a-mirage.104182/post-18672067

User banned (duration pending): Relativizing and justifying war crimes and the murder of civilians.
Quote
As remember Kirblar, you were the one, YOU WERE THE ONE who brought up arguments like "would you rather the entire Korean peninsula be ruled by Kim Jong Un today" to justify the events that happened and started this particular conversation--those are your words, that you uttered to justify this train of thought, not me or anyone else, but you. Turning that around, I could just as easily ask, "would you rather the entirety of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank continue to be apartheid states ruled inhumanely by tyrants like Benjamin Netanyahu/would you rather Palestine just be entirely absorbed by the Israeli state via decades of illegal settlements until there's nothing left"/etc. If that "would you rather the Korean Peninsula be unified under Pyongyang works to justify the tragic events that happened there, you can't suddenly back out and suddenly claim the same exact logic can't or shouldn't be used to justify a hypothetical conflict against Israel on the same exact type of grounds. You don't get to have it both ways like that. Either that goes for both, or neither. Either those kind of actions can be justified in those type of ways, or they can't, no matter what. Anything else is just pure hypocrisy at best and an absolutely brazen display of considering certain lives more equal and more worthy of defending in a way that certain other lives aren't and never will be and aren't ever going to be worth the same considerations and luxuries as those other lives at worst.
The Korean war was 70 years ago under extraordinarily different circumstances. Times are different, our available options are different, the geographic locations and relationships are different. Hell, if you haven't noticed, we have a massive in the number people dying as a result of war in the past few decades. Economic and Technological forces have made that possible what wasn't previously, ushering in the least amount of conflict the world has seen.

You do get to have it both ways because the world isn't the 1950s and the two situations are completely radically different. If you can't understand that the options available in the 1950s to the US, South Korean and other UN forces facing a massive incursion of North Korean aligned forces are completely different than the options we have to dealing with an apartheid state in the year 2019, the level of banal reductionism you're descending to amounts to the point of parody, because I refuse to believe that one could just be willing to say something along the lines of "oh well nukes ended the war in Japan why don't we just use them every time" and be totally serious.

Although these ones probably sent him to destruction since he can't ever back down and admit he was ever wrong or said something mistaken:
Quote
Would you rather North Korea have won leading to all of South Korea being ruled by the Kims today? Because that was the trade-off they were measuring it against when North Korea was invading with massive amounts of Chinese support backing them. I'm not saying their decisions were perfect, not worthy of criticism, etc., but to take them out of the context of an ugly, brutal conflict in which eventually pushing the North Korean army out of South Korea eventually led to a world in which 50 million people weren't living under a cruel despot today is to miss the difficulties and ugly nature of the tradeoffs that have to be faced when making these decisions.
Quote
Yes, I am aware of how destructive it was and am still posting that despite it. If North Korea/China never invade, this never happens, but they did, and the question of how to dissuade the North Korean forces when they were being backed by a massive amount of Chinese forces far in excess of their own had no good answers. Turning all of Korea into a totalitarian Chinese vassal state would have been a horrific outcome for the South Koreans. That cruel despot would still be there today because he's not there because of any actions the US took but because the North Korean government exists almost solely at the pleasure of the Chinese government. If they wanted to pressure North Korea to reform, to aid in their development, to help push for reconciliation, they could. But they don't, because they want the buffer state there.

That war is hell is an understatement. It's ugly, horrific, shitty and destructive. And this one was no different- both sides were deliberately targeting and executing the other's supporters within their borders and in captured territory. It comes with unthinkable tradeoffs, horrible choices, and puts people in unenviable situations. And yet it happens because sometimes the cost of letting the other side win is simply too steep to be able to afford.

The mods should really have banned him for getting the timeline of the Korean War so wrong even after being linked to Wikipedia.

There were two invasions by the North Koreans, only the second was a proxy invasion by China. Which China had told the U.S. many many many times how to avoid.
