C’mon it would be impossible to make that thread any worse
Sounds like a challenge.
CN: Hold my beer
Cliffs are Clovis took like 9 shots at me, I ignored them and didn’t report them, then I blew up at him and told him to f off a few times and got post(s) hidden, so I said ok fine I’m reporting all of his now. AFAIK nobody was banned or moderated other than me. It’s whatever, I don’t really care.
Yes, having posts hidden is being moderated.
I said fuck off and stfu after I let him call me a Qanoner, troll, conspiracy nut, and liar for two days. A few others told him he had been out of line and he doubled down that he was not. The post with the f word got hidden so I said fine, I’m reporting all of these other ones that I let slide then.
Petty? Sure, but I never criticized the mods.
Again, I didn’t criticize the moderation, I just said if I’m going to get posts hidden for telling him to fuck off after a series of personal attacks, I’m flagging the personal attacks now instead of giving him the free pass I was giving. Mods did nothing with the flags afaik, and I haven’t commented on that at all. If they think he’s in the right and I’m in the wrong, they should act accordingly.
So CW is allowed to defend himself and go off on Clovis, but Keed isn’t allowed to defend himself from ridiculous accusations? Really nice forum you have here.
It was discussed with other mods that this was becoming an issue forum wide across threads.
CN and Keed were the first since the discussion. I’m not going to retroactively go back and moderate posts based on a discussion that was just had this morning.
lol i didnt even see this one. I only posted on the poker news thread and my postings there had been award winning stellar. I wish i knew what this was about
Where were all these guys when Church was getting banned and having posts deleted (many of which were sourced from trustworthy journals and publications like BBC and turned out to be accurate!) merely because certain people didn’t want to hear the bad news? All of this under the justification that “innocent lurkers could be duped into becoming terrible anti-vax adjacent” monsters LMFAO.

That does not square with my experience in that other thread, and it is certainly not relevant or on topic here. Hard pass, please and thank you.
Sorry we are having a forum meta discussion that’s been allowed to continue for multiple days. You don’t have to like or agree with my points, but I’m still going to make them anyway.

Duly noted. I do not like those points, nor do I agree with them.
We had basically 6 months of no drama because certain people weren’t here, then the poker thread becomes a place for jal and jbro to attack CW when they never post about poker and don’t give two shits about the game.
Yet, they’re somehow martyrs here. Truly amazing.

Argue with the post, not the poster.
Which of my posts do you object to?
So let’s talk about SenorKeeed’s suspension as mentioned in the Ukraine thread
I don’t know exactly why Keeed was silenced but it’s fair to say that CN has been pretty consistently poking Keeed in the thread looking for a response:
MaxCut raised this point last weekend and when he quoted both sides it didn’t seem as bad to me as just looking at CN’s posts. If you absolutely feel the urge to reply to SenorKeeed posts loling at him maybe just try putting him on ignore.

I agree - and raised this issue in the mod forum. Recently there has been an uptick in people poking their forum enemies, presumably to start a fight (and maybe trying to get the other person moderated). Often the poker is doing it in a way that isn’t bad enough to get moderated, but is doing consistent poking, which at some point is likely to generate the desired response.
My view is that it’s unfair to only moderate the person who responds (even if there response is the only one that clearly crosses the line), and that perhaps we should be more pro-active in stopping stuff before it gets out of hand - in particular when it’s two people that have a history.
I’m not going to call out names here, as I’m pretty sure everyone who is engaged in this behavior knows exactly what they are doing.

Arguments happen. They get prolonged when both sides insist on getting the last word in. Punish the people who can’t self-throttle and end up in a back and forth where they repeat the same point without adding any new info. Give combatants a warning that they have to let one or more people post something substantive before they can reply to each other.
I have no objections to heated substantive arguments - but people are poking their enemies in random threads about random old stuff completed unrelated to the current topic.
