however he is an expert at dramatically "quitting" a forum over nothing and then immediately coming back so they could find his advice pretty useful

I kamikazed the two worst posters on this forum and made multiple attempts at every mod on this site to completely nuke me

Dude I get screen caps of their trash discord every other day, there's literally nothing there worth checking out. It's as dorky as you'd expect a bunch of Nancy Pelosi stans to be.

It was funny when they all hated kirblar but wondered if they wanted to invite him back because he was a good ally all the same.

When I used to be in it they would always whine to bdubs to ban people and that drama can be funny sometimes.

Thank you for your support, friends. I do have to point out...I don't know where to proceed from here. I'm not a mod, it'd be a mistake to make me one, for instance, for anything bigger than a kid-size inflatable pool.

That's a suspiciously specific denial to make in response to no one.

It is regrettable, because just like we saw in Etcetera, once the discussion dries up, they force it elsewhere. Now that Etcetera looks like Lord of the Flies, this place, too, shall resemble the same.

I legit don't see the point of having a US politics thread if there are no Trump supporters, republicans, Tulsi, Yang, that guy that looks like big boss from the Joe Rogan show etc in there, without the entire spectrum of voters and opinions you might as well just call it the 'DNC fanclub : I know he's a rapist but man Trump sucks OT of let's stay in our safe bubble friends'

User Banned (2 weeks): engaging in metacommentary and hostility over a series of posts and threads over a number of days
Sorry but it is complete bullshit.  The comment does not have to be about me personally for the accusations people keep throwing out at minority members to be disgusting.

That specific thread does have people accusing members of being Trump supporters for feeling that a video was racist, but this is a large issue throughout our political atmosphere.  People are so quick to throw out accusations of bad faith, or being a Russian agent, or secretly a Trump supporter that realistic concerns that people have are trampled over and ignored.

People are pressured repeatedly to look past Biden's sleaziness, the accusations against him, and his track record on quite a few issues for the "greater good" when all that does is repeatedly hammer home how little those issues actually matter to people.  And don't try and pull the "People recognize just how shitty those discussions can get" when people have been shitting on others who bring this up on this forum alone for weeks, let alone how this idea of being behind Biden 100% has been pushed across the media and from other people in general.

If we criticize him, we're helping the enemy build a narrative.  If we express being uncomfortable voting for him, we're directly helping the enemy gain power.  Those are dismissive attitudes to have because no one is actually addressing why people are uncomfortable, or how we can hold our leaders to a higher standard instead of being forced to choose between two rapists who will never be held accountable.

Just remember that Dump is insane, and tens of thousands of people have died because of him. Millions have had their lives thrown into physical, mental, and financial turmoil because of him. Our planet is being brutalized and destroyed at a rate faster than ever because of him.

If you are not soulless and/or insane, you know what you have to do to stop him and his ghoulish minions.

I think a lot will end up voting for Biden but some wont. Its not realistic to think you will get everyone but you have to Try and get the peoepl you can. I think the issue is there is a difference between pushing for Biden to be reelected and condoning sexual misconduct that people cant understand. I think it woudl help that people going to bat for Biden cannot be construed as being in support of sexual assault or every flaw the Biden might have, Especially if those very flaws are mirrored by his opponent. I would very much liike a mod to clarify this to poeple in OT but i doubt something like that would happen.

This is the exact thing you guys do to anyone who doesn’t fit into whatever narrow view of the world you are espousing this week.  Doesn’t feel so good when the shoe’s on the other foot huh?

A bit over a week ago, we had several people just start posting about socialist theory, I complained, was told by everyone this was the general politics thread, tough shit. Was banned for a week.

Now you are telling me this IS a community?
Nobody except me had any actions taken against them to my knowledge.

I've barely posted, and at this point, why should I?

This is how I feel. The permanent ban of kirblar was the canary in the coal mine. This forum has been overrun by toxic posters and the admins have actively encouraged it.

The Black Book of Communism need to be updated with this new final chapter.

Hey, mods, want to fix your fucking forum?
1) write down what the fucking rules are. If its not against a rule, its not bannable. If it should be bannable make a new rule to cover it.
2) ban people for breaking rules, not because you dont like them or dont like what theyre saying, and not because someone who thinks theyre a forum big dick doesnt like them. yeah, even if they get tons of reports about them. if its not a rule its not bannable.
3) reports only have a dropdown of which rules been broken. if people are making shit up to try and get someone banned, ban them for abusing reports. reports should be flagging rule breaking not appealing to a higher authority because you cant handle your own fucking arguments like a fucking kindergarden

real fucking simple, enjoy not doing this and continually trying to reconcile a forum for discussion with a "safe space", but a "safe space" where you don't allow anyone to say anything and you are judgemental, very judgemental, and who is in control of the "safe space" depends on what the topic is and who can play the least privileged card faster

[VomKriege]

It was a terrible ban. It also highlights one of my biggest moderation annoyances - “accumulated infractions” as a justification. Of course he’s going to have “accumulated infractions” - he has 30,000 posts!

Slow down a minute... I thought it was the low post counts all along, now you're telling me it's the opposite ?

[Lonewulfeus]

It's a bit weird for mods to act surprised by this sentiment when "fuck you" to long-time posters was established to be a 1 day ban. That's not exactly going to foster a positive response from the targets of that.

Yeah but I think it's a consistency thing.  I see a week even in this thread for inflammatory accusations against specific people.  Surely that's worse, especially when they're entirely unfounded.  Suspecting some people might be Trump supporters trolling people doesn't seem like an insane stretch really.

So add this to my post right above yours. What does this say about a 1 day ban?

There was also the time you said that a user posting racist Pocahontas memes about Warren weren't racist, for whatever reason.

So, there's that too since you are talking publicly about the discord.

Productive metacommentary, not the bad kind that got ketkat banned not 4 hours ago

Do infractions expire, like points on a drivers license? If not, it should be considered.

That post was about as hostile as it gets. If I was a mod it would have been a minimum one month ban with a permanent ban being considered
A 1 day ban was a slap in the face, you don't pull shit like that with a LGBTQ poster who has contributed to this community for over a decade.

Who the fuck do some of these mods think they are? Adam and others like him aren't shit posters, they are a valuable part of this community deserving of respect.

shutting the site down for 'maintenance' in the middle of a swathe of discord begging requests really is out of the evilore playbook

[VomKriege]

and frankly: if that mod's already been called out by admins 3 times for precisely the same pattern of behavior, why the fuck are they still a mod

For a bunch of people who tirelessly advocate for others to fall in line & trust the system, PoliERA is surprisingly feisty when they feel they've been wronged by the establishment and that the game is rigged.

Mod on mod violence !

We try to handle it as a team, get the personal sentiment out as best we can. Sometimes that's just not possible, especially since a lot of the time it'll be the same group of people, just due to schedule overlap if nothing else.

I know people don't like it when we say stuff like this, but staff's only human. Feeling's what we've got.

Ok, you need to stop posting in here for a while. Like, right now. You've embarrassed quite a few people in this thread, and you've completely embarrassed me. And if Frankish was banned for that post, then I need to be banned as well since my reply to Ket was in part based on Frankish's post.

I've heard there part of ERA called No Go Zones, populated by radicals, where moderators were afraid to go... I didn't believe it. Until today.

The solution to this, then, is two fold. One, take repeat offenses seriously, perhaps even research the poster's history for a history of such things. Two, consistent moderation, the failure of which to remain so, would result in a demod.

 

a secondary moderation team that *solely* goes through moderator actions and adjusting as necessary. A sort of "moderation of the moderators" idea that talks to the team directly to discuss problem posts, bans that look extreme or too light, and I think it may be worth revisiting something like that again.
