About Moderation (old original thread)

Huh, so are my posts ITT getting deleted as a result of community flags or a mod decision.

Both.

Pretty sure community flags only hide posts, right? I recall way back when having a discussion over it, cause IMO hiding posts just draws more attention to them, not less.

Edit: I didn’t see any of the posts that were deleted in here so I’m not commenting on any specific mod action here. Just commenting in general that I’m a fan of deletion instead of hiding.

And your picture of the crying baby in response was, I can only assume, Not Trolling.

WARNING

No more mentions of past mods, teams, captains, old shit, anything like that in this thread. This is not a comprehensive list of what you’re being warned about.

Of course it’s trolling, but at least I’m not trying to bullshit everyone about how I take the Bible seriously despite being arguably the forum’s most militant atheist.

Plenty of atheists take sections of the bible seriously. There’s a lot of wisdom in it regardless of your beliefs. I don’t know or care what cassette’s beliefs are or what he thinks about the bible.

Cassette, you were banned by Riverman I believe. I think that your post was kind of trolly but I wouldn’t have taken action. Anyway, it was a short ban and let’s just move on.

Welcome to the forum @mikelovescorgies !

Ok, thanks.

If I start an OP called ā€œIt’s a sin to be richā€ with the goal of discussing the quote I was banned for will I be banned again?

No.

I mean, it depends. If you try to sort posters on this forum by what you perceive their net worth is, then yeah probably. If you’re talking about the morality of wealth and at what point you’re ā€œsinningā€ or whatever, no I don’t think so.

What’s the deal with MikeLovesCorgies getting permabanned? Not criticizing the decision or anything, just feel like I missed or forgot whatever drama was behind that.

Gimmick makes his first post in the About Moderation thread and it’s trolling. Whichever one of you guys did that is lucky you did an adequate job of masking your IP address.

That’s what the crypto thread is for.

FWIW some of those are responses to shit stirring posts that were deleted.

What makes a pile-on a pile-on? What’s bad about a pile-on?

I gave the shortest possible ban. It was obvious trolling. Still learning the mod rules, next time I’ll update the mod log thread.

His post literally starts with a description of applying this to a ā€œposter he supports.ā€

You did not understand his reference then.

Objection, non-responsive.
