I am fine with giving people temp-bans, but I also believe in transparency, so if you give someone a time-out, I think you should note which posts earned someone some time in the corner.
I think meta can be interesting as a microcosm of larger political debates.
I would suggest looking into silencing instead of suspending a user. That person can still log in, like posts, and reply to PMs (but not send out new PMs).

This is called a race to the bottom.

That makes sense. I wish people would cool it with the title changes.

I think mods should be happy to out users who make contentious title changes.
My FIL (not my step-fil who Iām helping take care of) is talking covid very seriously. Still, a couple times heās come to our back yard. Never gotten within Iād say 10ā of anyone, usually more like 15ā.
He went in the gate and never in the house . Careful with contact of things like bottles or glasses. And it seems pretty low risk.
Itās not no risk of course.

I thought it was supposed to be a community owned site. Community moderation would follow from that.

But whatever, too many people dislike and donāt respect other people here. Nothing will make this place better if that doesnāt change.

I prefer a catch-all moderation thread from which substantive concerns are excised and given their own individual thread.
Kind of like how American democracy has a hard time functioning if one side doesnāt participate in good faith?

I donāt think it matters too much if people dislike each other. I think the main problem is that this dislike is acted out upon with no thought to how itās affecting the forum. Iām no innocent in this as Iāve let my dislike of posters affect my posting in the past and itās something I tried to actively work on. Reflecting on how your posting is affecting others on the forum isnāt a bad thing to do every so often.

But a lot of people want their posting to negatively affect other people.
Iām hoping this post makes you poop your pants and itās a big smelly.
I think Rexx is referring to collateral damage, which is my main concern. I really donāt care if two posters want to go out behind the woodshed and beat the snot out of each other. I mind quite a bit when they insist on doing it in the middle of an active thread and make it crappy for everybody.
