The Moderation Discussion Thread (And I hear him every night, On every street) - Page 29 - Politics and Society -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I know some posters are hit by difficulties in this weird year we are in, and it might be a special Christmas for some socially. I don’t want to go into platitudes, but I sincerely hope it turns out well for all.

Moved a bunch of posts from the education in the US thread to the religion and science thread. I understand that people have a desire to debate their religious / non-religious views, but it should be done in the appropriate thread. It's not an excuse to derail other threads.

Future derails of this type might very well simply be deleted.

As always, posts on religion in politics or political policy is fine. You don't need to quarrel over whether God exists to do that.

I will post the Lisle article there.

Not for me to be judgemental on this, of all, fronts, but how would this be different from your participation in every other thread? Or are you just implying that it won't be special? Because, this sounds very, very special.

I merged a new thread on UBI with a recent one, as I suspect some of the same arguments will play.

Two conversations on election fraud was moved the containment thread. One from the Trump thread and one from election post-mortem thread.

Moved posts on the Georgia elections to a new thread, so we keep things tidy.

Excised posts on obesity from the Covid-19 thread since it developed into its own discussion.

Dramatic things are happening in the US Capitol. We'll see what the news reports bring because things are chaotic right now.

However, this is not an excuse to yell insults at other posters here, such posts will still be deleted.

I am getting an evil chuckle going reading Shuffle's incessant "Now what, Monty".

If Monty had not been so insufferable himself over the past few months... I might not have allowed the repetitiveness of today's Shuffle posts.

Well, I will say one thing after today’s debacle: The heavy moderation of election fraud accusations used on this forum is something I stand behind fully. I don’t think it made a lick of a difference, but the principle stands even if we are a small community.

Anyways, keep the mud-flinging down and I will check in later.

Suggestion: any poster suggesting that yesterday's violence was orchestrated by left wing/Antifa/BLM should be banned on sight, or at the very least severely infracted.

E.g. this:

If it was a BLM protest the Capitol would have been destroyed.

I win.

Hi Goofy! I'm also looking for action that Trump stays in power for his second term (via ANY means). I'll take 20-1.

Election fraud comments have been moved to the Riggie containment thread, together with some ensuing posts. Further debate of that nature should take place there.

If you see problematic posts, then report them and the mods will pass judgment as best they can.
