About Moderation (old original thread)

This apply to you as well?

Not sure what my actions have to do with yours but okay.

Is there a unmod keed thread somewhere, asking for a friend

Still ironing out the official language.

Maybe you could setup one of those math/logic puzzle threads similar to those 538 riddler puzzles? I think that would be pretty fun.

For sure, I’d def take part in that.

I banned you twice. Once for 24 hours and once for 3 days. Does 4 days over 4 months without this forum really cause you so much vitriol that you despise me? Any self reflection at all if it was justified?

Cool. All my fault. My bad. Glad we could have a fucking semblance of self reflection.

Edit: I’ve never even banned Church! Come on man.

Let’s not do whataboutism here.

Today’s “crisis” was about Keed’s shitty modding in the past few days. Of course it had something to do with who his actions were aimed at but much more about the actions themselves. Unilateral outside-the-norms, dickish behavior.

You complain about how often you aren’t banned for things you think you would be banned for.

I might believe either side of this endless nonsense was acting in good faith at all if I ever saw a single post from anyone against their own side.

If one side said 2+2=4 the other would instantly argue it wasn’t.

This is all just a game. None of this is a real good faith debate, from either side.

The whole point is the fight! Why not just admit this, make a sub forum for it and go to town? That way you can all have your fun and the rest of us can ignore it.

This basically describes politics today, the initial subject matter of this forum, so all of this makes a lot of sense.

From a meta-political perspective, I suggest this is evidence that a centrist call for bipartisanship is dumb and unworkable.

Who is calling for bipartisanship? That suggests any of this is an actual debate. It’s not.

In fairness, they would argue it and team 2+4=4 would seldom concede the point.

Funny thing is the typo makes the same point. Lol.

This is a thoughtful post which I agree with on many points. My view is that moderation/moderators cannot and should not be the “solution” to whatever schisms exist in this forum community.

Having said that, concluding that “no moderation” is the solution (or an improvement) does not logically follow and I reject that viewpoint.

I will comment on your final point, especially since you have made that point in the past as well. The view that each poster should be able to talk with whomever and however they want on a public forum is an untenable position that every public forum has either explicitly or implicitly rejected. Of course there are ways two or more members can have a private conversation using the forum software. That is the tenable solution, not a “let me be and I’ll let you be” approach.
