Politics v7.0 Moderation thread - Page 57 - Politics version 7.0 -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

tomdemaine's politics have changed over the years; he was (is?) a libertarian, and I think still was at the time he was modded. LOL at calling him "extremely partisan", he's way more reasonable and honest than you are.

They are both anti-conservative, as well you know goofy.

Thanks for the insult by the way.

This is where these fools first loose all credibility.

What is "grossly" biased? What is "extremely" partisan? Is that, say, a standard deviation off a median as polled in the USA?

Because if the answer "yes", then LOL @ imagining any of these mods are something like 95% to the left in the USA. If fact, LOL @ imagining these mods aren't at or to the right of any reasonable median or average.

thats bc "conservative" is no longer a reasonable or consistent ideology. it is an ideology of hate.

I haven't had any problems with whosnext, I don't think they need to be replaced. Just chezlaw. It's pretty clear that demodding chezlaw would be welcome by many posters.

The last question is tough. I don't think this forum will ever reach the amount of threads or posts as the main politics forum, if that's the measure, but this is a newer forum.

I say we take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week, but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting, by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs but by a two thirds majority in the case of...

I'll mod.

But I will not work more than a couple hours a week in this forum and will only delete/ban overt racism, family attacks and over the top spam. Unfortunately that is all I can offer.

Also, I can't work holidays.

Mat, this kind of vitriol is not only allowed in Politics, but encouraged. That forum has become nothing short of an echo chamber of the far left.

Interesting story from CNN on this very subject. Fareed Zakaria, no less.

yeah, that is why most conservative leaning posters don't post there, it is far from a welcoming environment for anyone who would even hint of being positive about Trumps presidency for example.

Unwelcoming as far as criticism?

I regret to inform you all that I will not have time to take on MOD responsibilities. I'm just too busy with football.

Please take my name out of consideration.

Ugh, what a shame. You exhibit such great judgement and honesty, and you're incredibly level headed. You would have been the best.

No. Criticism is fine.

Unwelcome as far as biased moderating. Conservatives or Trump supporters are attacked personally without impunity, and banned if they fight back.

I like whosnext's modding style. well named would also make a good, balanced and fair minded mod, as would loads of regs who probably wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

Again, how exactly 'far' is the "far left". In the terms of the USA, is the "far left" 45%, 25%, 5%, 1%, .005% off to the 'left'?

The fact that you won't answer this question, or even hazard a ballpark guess, means everything you claim follows from your 'far left' premise is a buncha garbage-out.
