I think things are on the right track except that czs wanders around random slaughtering perfectly decent conversations

Moderating based on the apparent frequency of arguments in a linear message board format that does nothing to actually keep track of the arguments made or how successfully they've ever been supported or rebutted in the past is a total absurdity

That suggestion is basically concern trolling mods into becoming a Ministry of Truth.

Is that not what is already happening?

It's just asking that the list be made explicit instead of us having to guess what posts you may remember

I'm sorry I thought your offer to take accountability was was real, my mistake.

Even if we find examples of you probing one side bit not the other for staleness, you'll just deflect and blame another mystery mod for lack of action. So convenient

So mods inclined to probe leftists come on and do that then less aggressive mods come in and forgive centrists
The system works

If a moderator is sincerely suggesting that a poster seek therapy I'm hoping there's something more going on behind the scenes than what it appears at a glance.

Just my 2c.

I totally get why that's rude as gently caress.

But then I looked at the history. CZS is the product of the thread he developed in, which is apparently terrible.

A good point but there should be a time or even just is this still funny limit before for they are eventually exposed and there should be mods watching for people switching to alt accounts to avoid questions while discussing the same topic we already have enough people refusing to engage while making GBS threads on people all the time hello silence kit.

Props for the professor for attempting humor /sincere

D&D would need an incredible overhaul of style in order to achieve the desired goal of not reiterating stale points. It seems like a fun goon project. I'll help, I just got an A in my project management class at community college.

But that's just not wanting to read views on current events that you disagree with.

The failures of the Democratic Party are an ongoing current event of our times.

Majorian mentioned it would end up with people on one side of the debate being alone there. Is it because people don't want to be challenged? Or is it because most people don't want to interact with the other side of that debate for some reason? Or is it because most people simply don't care? Whichever it is, does it really justify letting it take over the main thread over and over?

To be clear, you seem to be advocating for viewpoint oriented discrimination in the main thread for talking about current events because somehow when something you disagree with is posted there you are 'forced' to interact with it and it 'takes over' so as long and as there's another thread somewhere you don't have to read it's justified to do this.

There's a regular pattern of threads withering as they got silo'd off. Posters who think "but we need cops" want to post that once in the police discussion thread, strawman a bit, then leave until the next time cop murders start "derailing" current events with discussions of what to do about it.

A lot of D&D threads are pretty much going dark. No climate news gets posted in climate change yet there's lots of it every day.
