It is however very healthy to then call them transphobes without evidence and then use slurs to denigrate them.

maybe agreeing to kick the "problematic" trans posters out of your forum in exchange for a mod star earns derision.

i agree that c-spam should not be a sub of the politics forum.

to fully represent its goals, interests, and sphere of influence, it should be a sub of the podcast forum.

Said mod hangs out in the Goatse + call people "faggots" forum so it's not surprising. This post would get a probe if a non mod posted it

This seems like a good and correct post? Also I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to call someone the f word anywhere on these forums.

being made top level would be a sign of acceptance by the moderation team and demonstrate that there is a place for us here

if they're unwilling to do that, how is that not a demonstration of the exact opposite: that they're just waiting for us to either go away organically or become so marginalized that we can simply be done away with without too much fuss

Though I have noticed this site is trending harder towards spite posting where people are bronging stuff up to settle grudges. it’s kind of made QCS kind of unreadable and just a useless forum.

ironically I think it’s the forum that does need tighter moderation because it does serve a purpose.

just right now it doesn’t

I'm still absolutely loving gobsmacked that someone PMing other posters for a list of bad posters, and this same user definitely proving they've got--at minimum--a list of posters with the number of rap sheet entries, was deemed totally fine and unnecessary to act on, not just by you, but by several mods.

Especially after the events of the past year that comes off as insanely loving suspect.

This was a few pages ago, but +1 all the way.

The most damning part was said poster immediately making GBS threads out a new thread to attack his forum enemies. If anything, allowing someone to build a list, have said list revealed, and then not punishing those actions encouraged him to escalate into trying to get people banned in QCS. The next step he takes is going to be even shittier, and the mods official position is "well, we can't do anything" is going to look terrible in hindsight.

a user in the "succzone" thread today admitted to being in a position to fire and firing multiple employees who behaved like sa mods. i think as a community we should investigate whether these were good socialist firings or bad capitalist firings.

Also, the draconian punishments in QCS make open discussion nearly impossible. It keeps thing clean, yes, but frankly I do not feel comfortable posting in that forum at all because of some of the ridiculously overblown sentencing.

FFS, this comment got a guy a month. Like, I'm sorry he annoyed some mods, but loving Christ. What message does that send to people with legitimate concerns?
