So I guess we can add 'doesn't understand the advanced search function' to the list of things wil doesn't understand.

i wonder what how people would feel if there was a rise in old testament fundamentalists that was quickly scaling up to 100's of millions

welcome to amerikkka

Goofy. I did consider deleting a fair few posts from Wil, Kerowo etc but decided a reminder was more appropriate.

Sorry if that's not strict enough for you.

The "real and deplorable suffering of persecuted Christians" occurs predominately in Muslim-dominated nations. That is a factual statement and has nothing to do with saying nasty things about Muslims. It's a stone cold fact.

Over say the last one hundred years which nations have killed more of the other. Muslim nations or Western?

Minorities are persecuted, News at 11 with BroadwaySucky.

For real, chez, did you think no one would notice that you're ninja-deleting everyone's posts?
04-18-2017 , 08:05 AM
Deleting post is a large part of how this forum is modded. I'm glad you've noticed

However I decided not to delete recent posts in this thread in favour of a reminder. Following the reminder deletions in this thread are a lot more likely so bear it in mind if you dont want your posts here deleted
04-18-2017 , 08:10 AM
You've decided to quietly delete any posts that criticize you and to allow wil to post whatever garbage he wants.

Like, goofy just caught you flat-out lying and you can't delete his posts. Who do you think you're fooling here?
04-18-2017 , 08:17 AM
lol no but right place so well done

That statement was (a) not moderated and (b) not about Muslims, and so presumably a bad example to support the claim that you are unable to have a balanced discussion about Islam (or especially generalizations concerning Islam, per pokerodox's post which you replied to) due to the PC police bull**** in this forum. This latter was the actual subject of my post, not your claim about Christian persecution. If you want an example of the kind of post I was referring to, which was subject to moderation, see here.

Also, I did not argue that you have made similar posts. Instead I argued that those are the sort of posts which have actually been subject to moderation. It's seems reasonable to conclude that complaints about the moderation are about posts that actually get moderated, like that one, rather than about posts that don't, like yours about Christian persecution.

When you say the other "side" makes a mistake, you're generalizing in a way the is not helpful to the discussion.
Yes, I'm generalising the awful posting we get from our right wingers in this forum.
04-19-2017 , 12:26 AM
Is there a way we can get a list of people who report posts?

Lol at this. I barely post here at all anymore, I don't even have the desire to participate. You think Chez is creating an environment specifically to allow me to post freely? Even you can't be that stupid.

He wants you here bc it entertains him. He has you on the line and is being firm, but gentle, so you don't break away entirely.

I've moved the posts on arbitration and so called 'courts' to a new 'Arbitration councils and tribunals' thread.

you need to either justify your claims or you should probably apologize like a reasonable person. especially considering mods aren't supposed to be openly biased or blatantly dishonest

on top of that, you just read posters making fake quotes and calling me a racist to which i responded by saying they were lies and they should actually provide evidence for those claims. you haven't addressed that or those posters. do better

Let's just say that I disagree with everything you have written (no big surprise). My post was about as neutral a post as could be made under the circumstances. Your posts in a content thread were reported as containing personal attacks/insults. I encouraged you to present your argument sans personal attacks/insults. You chose instead to rehash old ground and insult me and all mods in politics forums in the process. That may speak volumes on how and why you post in this forum.

The protocol of this forum is that when mods post something moderator related, it appears in green font. When mods post something as any poster, it appears in regular font.

Regarding mods posting in forums, I recently posted my views (the unofficial 2+2 views) on the matter which I will quote below.

The view that mods must be circumspect in their posting comes up from time. It is untrue, unfounded, and misguided.

The Powers-That-Be at 2+2 have repeatedly made it clear that becoming a mod in no way curtails or restricts what you can say in any 2+2 forum (including the forum you are a mod in).

Some mods voluntarily tone down the volume or the tenor of their posting but that is neither required nor encouraged. Some mods are uncomfortable with the appearance that their views carry additional weight in lively discussions but everyone should dismiss that misperception.
What 2+2 mods are tasked to do is to mod in a neutral manner. In political forums this is especially challenging but something that Chezlaw and I are very conscious of.

If it makes you feel any better, both Chezlaw and I have been criticized by posters covering the entire political spectrum for our "biased" modding decisions since I have joined this forum's fray. I would characterize our modding style as generally minimalistic which is appropriate for this forum.

No rational person can believe this if they have followed our history. He hangs on every word I say and I couldnt r care less if he lives or dies. He posts from a troll account.

It seems you do not understand how the world works, dickhead. Almost every single person in this forum hates your ***** ass guts. That includes multiple groups who despise EACH OTHER.

You are a ****ing moron. Make no mistake that the vast majority of people in this forum, and the people who have left since you became a "mod" (lol), think you are truly awful.

I would be willing to bet money on a graph of activity in this forum since you became mod and before you did that it was much more active before your idiocy came here. We pretty much hate you, as much as you'd believe we don't. No one here even knows who the **** you are.

Only a person who lacks any type of self reflection would speak the way you do. The best thing you could do for this entire website, not to mention chezlaw specifically, is to stop modding this forum immediately. I would actually rather have fly, someone I truly hate, to mod this forum before your idiot ass.
