It's been a bit since we've had a feedback thread and we all thought it was time. Please post your thoughts, questions, comments, and other assorted feedback about how we're doing as mods in this thread.

We'll plan to keep this open for at least a few days but will be closing it up once it inevitably devolves into bickering, recriminations, and general namecalling, as all feedback threads eventually do.

Like yeah it's out of place, but until this forum (by which I mostly just mean the admins and Jeff) actually starts dealing with the amount of people posting weird holodomor denial poo poo, it's pretty loving strange to be nuking anyone who brings up that the site has a huge problem with people just openly denying the holodomor.

Plz consult the other posts that got big probations in the same spree because those sure seem to be valid criticisms even if that wasn't the perfect thread for them and at some point they're going to have to be addressed. Why does this stuff always just get probated when it is brought up instead of dealt with?

How we handle this in C-SPAM is that anyone denying that the Holodomor occurred, that is denying that there was a famine or positing that fewer numbers of people than academically accepted died, is gonna get probed. the question over whether it was genocide directed by the Soviet authorities towards Ukraine is an unresolved academic question and, as such, we do not probe for saying that it was an intentional genocide towards Ukraine in partiuclar, nor do we probe for saying that it was the result of bad Soviet policy but not intentionally designed to kill Ukrainians, nor do we probe for saying that it was essentially a natural disaster.

Frankly, I don't know enough about the issue to debate one direction or the other but that is where we are at policy-wise.

i say again, look at this loving post. i will highlight the important part for you, because it's really bad!



Jeffrey of YOSPOS, what the sweet mother gently caress are you doing? targeting an ethnic, religious, or cultural group for extermination is genocide. denying the soviets intentionally targeted the ukranians for extinction through famine makes you a genocide denier

un gently caress your moral compass right now, holy poo poo.

for everyone else reading this, the admin of this forum is a genocide denier

I especially like that someone paid holodomor denialist jeffery of yospos tenbux to get me what I'm pretty sure is remember the holodomor av.

oh hey, when I replace this thing can I ditch the ghost of kiev tag but keep the china state poster tag?

Yep, when you buy your new av, you can put

only without that initial space, it'll count against the total number of characters but still let you upload your own image

Alec has been permabanned I believe.

To submit myself to conscientious self-criticism, I think one of the things I've learned to spot and try to stop is main character syndrome, where people do just that. It's tough to know when to pull the plug because sometimes people enjoy just flaming the person, and that person also seems to get some weird perverse pleasure getting dunked on, and as long as it sticks to general teasing there's nothing really wrong with that. But it almost always turns sour at some point and then you have to step in.

I also posted about it in the thread earlier, but I think the U/R thread is in a good place with some IK support. It's my fault that it ever got to the point where it needed to be put into slow mode. I needed to get help covering the thread before it got to that point. So that's on me.
