About Moderation (old original thread)

They made that point in the Mat Sklanskiest way possible by just replying to a random post in a random thread instead of flagging it for a mod to review. Sorry it went unacknowledged by mods for a whole ~50 minutes, we’ll try to do a better job of reading every post made in every thread at all times of day and night.

Ready for another fulfilling day of badgering the mods over literally any decision they make?

IDK man, the post with the picture was just as homophobic as the satirical response. It wasn’t some “random” post. I’m criticizing the forum members as much as the mod team - more in fact…

And no, I do not believe that the person that posted the original photo nor the people who liked and laughed or didn’t see anything wrong with it are homophobes. I believe that they didn’t really think enough about it. A kind of institutionalized homophobia. Which is why I think FTLT felt the need to respond in the manner that he/she did.

But now that it’s all deleted nobody will be forced to think about it. (But again, that happened stepwise and not intentionally.)

I meant it was random as in it was just a post in a thread that wasn’t flagged so there was nothing about it that would bring it to the mods’ attention. I also forgot to refute the idea that it was

but being liked and laughed at

before, so I’ll go ahead and point out that the post with the tweet had 0 likes and 0 replies until the satirical masterpiece was posted.

lol, all you do in this forum is bitch about every single mod action, no matter how minor. Some zero-post guy comes in with an extremely homophobic post and you’re in here lickety split to whine when he catches the least controversial ban ever. It’s pretty obvious to everyone that you’re only here to gin up more forum drama.

That is not true. It had 1 like and 1 response of “lol” from a different poster than the like. I know exactly who both posters are. And more importantly, as you mention, it wasn’t flagged and had no critical comments about it.

You mean this “lol” post?

Ok so it appears that I thought that laugh was for the other post. My apologies. Now do the “like” and comment on no other pushback to the post nor flags despite the forum being very active last night with both mods insta deleting posts and posters and the usual boot lickers crying about the usual stuff.

Nice drugs you have there.

Maybe posters shouldn’t use sock puppet accounts to post controversial shit that could be interpreted as homophobic? I don’t know, this doesn’t seem particularly difficult.

In context it’s clearly not homophobic at all. And since the context was stripped away after the fact, it makes sense to just delete all of it. Perhaps we should all wait and let Jonny respond since it was his modding (I think) and I’m guessing he won’t be so emotionally invested in a wrong decision as Potato seems to be.

Still researching this one, I don’t see a like on the deleted post but maybe likes also get deleted, gotta do more research.

Someone who often posts tweets that have a weird joke in them posting a tweet that seems like it might be a weird joke is obviously going to have a lesser response than a brand new poster deciding to drop the f word into a thread.

Perhaps if it was a long time poster posting that it would have been clear it was satirical, but because they used a sockpuppet, it was not. I mean, that’s not controversial. Maybe you guys should just stop using sock puppets?

I’ve had one other account here: cleverly disguised as FakeJbro. That’s about a dozen fewer than you’ve had. I’m not sure what anybody would think I need a sock puppet when I’m clearly willing to post just about anything that pops into my drunken brain at any moment.

I’m not saying it was you, but your Buddy MaxCut just admitted two posts up that it was someone’s alt, so not sure what galaxy brain point you’re going for here.

Did gfy ask you to post this for him in PM or on another forum? That’s not your voice.

Which other accounts is that account associated with and what if that relationship is used fairly as an instrument to create further drama?

We’ve been assured that nobody cares who new accounts belong to.

oh give it a rest the lol was at the fucking chord, if he said anything homophobic i cant understand a word of it and I doubt neither can you, and probably barely anyone else for that matter either.

No I didn’t even watch that video you lol at. I mistakenly thought your lol was to the post with the homophobic picture. My mistake which I already admitted.
