So how are we about mocking peoples appearances? I got into this with a few twitter philosophers about that and it's a weird mental grey area. Making fun of someone being fat or ugly is poo poo. lovely people exist. Can you mock lovely people in a way that wouldn't be cool if you did it about a non lovely ugly or fat person? I don't because it feels hypocritical and lovely, but I've learned to just turn a blind eye to it if it's about like Trump or Lena the sister paedo?

Nooner, since you inspired this train of thought, what do you think? If you and I got into it I'd not want to mock your appearance as you and your Mrs are lovely people when you're nice.

No, but "no posting fetish porn" as a rule after the deviantart debacle would ot solved this problem neatly.

This doesnt need particuliarly complicated rules to solve.

I participated earnestly, but I gotta be honest here and let it be known that I don’t see what the point was. Conversations there never seem very good and this one is no exception. It’s just a bunch of hyper-fixated people endlessly needling each other for owns and sad little victories, back and forth forever.

This is especially disappointing because it does seem like moderation could use an extra hand with a few things, but the conversation there clearly is not about it.

Do we really have to interact with that mess to be heard?

So on the story of mods, we are looking at candidates for them and for IKs. We also do like ideas of who may be good mods because we can't read every thread and we like to source them from the community. There may be posters whom we don't always see but are great contributors. Those who have a trusted bond with the posters they manage.

In that vein let me welcome our new mods Slugworth and nom epique!

We're in the process of getting more mods; please stand by

Some big things aren't going well or dicey and instead of that taking my mind off the smaller things I'm actually more annoyed and frustrated by them.

Two of the most recent:

I am writing letters in another language with more than one word for "or" and no hard & fast rule about which to use but if you use the wrong one it can read very awkward. So I'm looking for whether you should write "Dear Sir [this "or"] Madam" or "Dear Sir [that "or"] Madam". Googling bring be to several sides which all just answer the question by saying you shouldn't need either "or" because you should find out the gender of the person you're writing to because it looks more professional; try the company or government directory or search LinkedIn or Facebook! A followup on this, that you don't know and can't find out who you're talking to, is met with ''Keep trying! There are many benefits to personalizing your letters'. Maybe on the second page I'd find my answer but in too fed up to keep trying.

I have clothes to donate and the easiest way to do so is to deposit them in collection bins. There are hundreds in my city but none in my immediate area. Yesterday I took a bunch to one twenty minutes away because I knew it was there. But I might not have the time this week for the rest. And, I learn, there is seemingly no list of where the bins are. Google MOPS doesn't show them. Googling just leads to advice about how you should find them to donate old clothes, but don't mention where. And a forum asking has the response of "there aren't any in this city" when that's obviously not the case.

gently caress me.

My feedback is to stop giving the ability to edit other people's posts to the sort of people who would need to be told not to do that.

Additionally, if the dipshit owner could come up with some guidelines, that might help.
