About Moderation

Day 12 of the new regime.

More silencings
More bans

Going well?

How does this utter shitfest play out in the mind of its creator?

All targets on 4/8/16 week bans, as good as permas.

Then what?

Lol. Posters abuse members of the forum, including via pm threats, and get banned.

Jalfrezi: “Look at all these bannings, it is the moderators that are the problem!”

… and to add - I remember a time when those initials were used to refer to another user - do we now have to type that out in full or will context be taken into account?

Moderator edit: I edited this to remove another user’s username, which gives away my initials. - commonWealth

You need to look a little deeper than that, sunshine.


You deem this conduct by Jbro to be appropriate? Got it. And I’m not your sunshine, mate.

If you guys are going to keep trolling about initials, you should shop this and go out in style

This is a warning, no matter how cute you are about it, you do not get to reveal my initials.

I appreciate your willingness to admit those pm’s are a big problem. Some of your compatriots who are not are telling on themselves. The fact that some users are doing things like sending those pm’s are evidence IMO that CW’s stronger moderation tactics are necessary. I appreciate Econophile’s service, but we’re now 3 years into this and nothing else has worked yet so it seems like giving CW a chance here makes sense. Based on your posting earlier I’m not sure you and I really disagree on this point. Finally, plenty of people on both sides of this “argument” (including me) are catching warnings and bans, so it seems pretty unbiased to me.

oh - and that didn’t answer my question …

Daddy still dressing up as Santa the year after his kids told him they know it’s him.

Hi Jalfrezi. Still waiting to hear whether you think your friend Jbro’s conduct in the past 1.5 hours is acceptable.

Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.

Would mods consider using a staff notice when editing a post? It would make it less confusing and users can edit out a mod note added within a post, I believe.

To be very clear, when I was modded I PM’d the other mods and explained my plan. All either said they liked it, supported it, and/or would allow it to play out without interfering as long as it was implemented fairly.

So we had unanimous consent on trying that plan, even from those who didn’t love it.

Do you know how this is done?

Even if it doesn’t matter that much (and I would argue that every little bit of info helps if you are researching someone), it’s obvious that doing so will be punish, so obvious that any member of the forum’s drama club should be assumed to be doing it in order to provoke a response.

Should have just liked the post you fool

I will try it on the last post I edited and see how it works, looks like it should be easy enough to do going forward.

Edit: Yeah it’s easy enough, I’ll do my best to remember to use that feature when editing posts.
