C-SPAM is the only left-ish space online that you can talk leftist politics in that's not jam packed to the rafters with absolute hooting maniacs, boring as gently caress, or both in equal measure. Not to say it can't use any improvement but it's pretty good, and that is miles and miles ahead of any similar thing you can find online.

Then why are you trying to suggest how to moderate it?

whatever the tried and true method of picking mods is it hasn't had great results in my experience. i can probably count the good mods on one hand (majorian, zorak) otherwise they've largely been absentee, antagonistic, abusive, vindictive, hypocritical and/or utterly inept.

It probably would be better to have like 2 rotating mod positions that change each month, maybe someone would make a good mod and they don't know it yet. plus it might give people some perspective

People in this thread have said maybe mods should step in and say something when a person becomes too annoying in a thread and it's just enough already, so things are never just that simple.

Now, probing for racism is that simple, just click the little "Queue Ban" button.

glenn greenwald is boring as gently caress and my eyes roll back into my head every time he comes up

he isnt a leftist and discussion of him isnt about leftist politics, but about getting angry at liberals on twitter, so i say move the thread to some other forum

cumshitter posted:

is he still releasing lula? is this like an ongoing process?

when did it stop being pretend grudges and start being real?? these thread rivalries are intended to be fundamentally unserious because we are actually a single community even if there is a lot of diversity in how we approach different threads. the greenwald posters said "please come to our thread" there wasn't a slapfight at all.

is literally all of this about people, at some point fairly recently, no longer understanding that this subforum's conflicts are jokes? i'm not saying there haven't ever been genuine grievances but it's weird to see someone talk about all of this inter-thread politics with a straight face when most of these "rivalries" were originally cooked up for the fun of fake grudgeposting. it's weird to me because plenty of us were there at the beginning and can tell you that it was never intended to create genuine fault lines in the community. if any of you took these things seriously simply because it seemed the posters around you were taking it seriously, i apologize because they probably weren't, actually.

if you have ever played cricket and don't hail from any of the legendary jamaican teams who played in spite of the imperial anglo then you need to take yourself a little trip to qcs and beg for a regular old ban if you don't want to face righteous permanency
