Politics v7.0 Moderation thread - Page 39 - Politics version 7.0 -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

How about learning the rudiments of grammar and not apostrophising plurals like an eight year old? Maybe people would take the content of your posts more seriously if you present them as an adult would.

This is what Im talking about guys. Another emotional response. If you go on a forum like football or poker, do you think they care about grammar?

Why is it you seem to be the only guy/girl who cares about grammar? I think I know..lol..but I'd love to here it from you.

It's the equivalent of expecting to be taken seriously in real life with a huge lump of snot hanging out of your nostril.

We listen to what posters say here as well but I generally ignore a) complaining that a post that the poster should know broke the rules was deleted/edited and b) anyone complaining that a post they didn't report wasn't deleted/edited.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

To be fair, it was also by Wil, your fav and reported by Goofy, someone you hate. Sure, why would the mod read every post of the forum he ****ing runs?

None of my friends would ever call out somebody because of grammar. You seem to be the only one that cares. Hm! Interesting!

I find it interesting that you don't like my grammar but you understand what I'm saying.

I think there are a couple reasons for this....Do you want to talk about it?

Just an FYI, chez, the former mods can see what posts are getting reported. You're gonna need a better cover story.

I know they can. As I say, any post that is reported at the time is looked at and action is taken if the rules are broken unless it's very nitty. No doubt the odd exception can be found and you can get very excited.

You and others don't need to rely on anyone else, to verify this, just report any posts that can concern you.

So no actual sanctions against Wil for threatening to assault women and trans people, you just cleared up the mess for him? Just checking.

I cleared up the thread for PC reasons.

That's it for now.

Anything Wil does will just be scrubbed clean, because we can't punish people who seek to hurt and threaten minorities. Chez can't allow that. That would involve having a spine.

If you think that sanctions on an internet forum are some sort of display of bravery then we are never going to see eye to eye.

No Chez, I do not think you are brave. I think you are the furthest thing from it. That was my entire point. Your years long defense of people like Bruce and Wil is your online legacy.

and as I said if you think bravery is involved in deciding whether to sanction posters on this internet forum then we aren't going to see eye to eye.

My concern will continue to be PC, avoiding derails in content threads and as inclusive to everyone as much as possible. No bravery is required either way.

I don't think it takes bravery to step up to people wishing hate on LGBT people like Wil, just human decency. Would you prefer if I switched "bravery" for "lowest level of human decency?" You wish to be PC but leave up Wil saying he hopes all liberals die and LGBT people are punished. You're doing a really good job chez.

Colzlaw,

I don't really participate much in these forums but I did notice traffic is why down from a time ago. Its just seems like the number of participants bickering, as well as the quality of bickering has decreased.

So my question to you is, as a customer, are you interested, and if so, what do you intend to do to increase traffic here in Politics V8?

Say what you like.

You're need to 'punish' people is nothing to do with decency imo. I'll stick to the more PC, non hateful approach.

You're not in P alpha now snowflake. No-one's getting banned because your widdle feelings got hurt.
