[RJF]

do you mind telling us who is being a "drama queen"?

Everyone who's complaining about a ****ty thread that got closed for good reason. Get the **** over it, please.

fwiw, you absolutely sound more revved up about it than most people at this point. This thread has nothing to do with that one. Well, because of you, I guess now it does.

Not as long as a child has moderating powers.

Do you purposely ignore the multiple times that the staff has explained how moderating on this site works?

I've heard explanations of how it should work. And I've seen how it works.

Today they edited/redacted some chest-thumping style writing of mine (i.e. a mode of writing that many posters engage in), while leaving unchanged an innuendo of child molestation that was written in reply to my post. That makes a lot of sense to you, I'm sure.

You're out of your mind if you don't think personal grudges play a role in the way moderation actually happens on-the-ground, so to speak.

Which again, basically is the argument of "his sandwich is bigger than mine." Probably didn't report that post, as there's this stigma that reporting is some sort of tattling or something. You want to argue the minute when both of y'all's posts should be purged in that thread.

Then you blame one particular mod, which is tremendously foolish, since one mod by himself/herself can't really do anything on this site.

Then you blame the mod for the changing of the site, which again, is foolish, since that implies the argument that even though x broke the rules, the rules were allowed to be broken in the past and thus should continue to be allowed to be broken in perpetuity.

I'd prefer to think of as the staff realizing that this style of posting behavior makes very few people want to post here and thus are taking steps to rectify that.

It's interesting that you talk about things as though there some re-commitment or other such process happening. That sounds like change to me. This thread is about change in moderation. Welcome!

Do you think stigma against tattling is the only reason posts don't get reported? Or do you think some people just don't care and therefore don't report?

Am I blaming one mod? The title of this thread mentions hotttspazzz... is there one poster here by that name? That name is a deliberate mashup of two new moderators (and the inevitable drift in the collective hivemind of the moderators in general).

Also, it's just weird they left innuendo of child molestation into the string of exchanges and took out much more benign stuff.


^there's at least 4 more lauching-points for you to continue doing your thang, whatever the hell that is.

What the hell is your "thang?" Not sure what the point of making a new drama thread achieves.

Lack of caring, stigma against reporting, neither a justification.

I guess my "thang" is that I'm annoyed that I can't read an opinion or argument on this site because it's delivered with vitriolic intensity that I don't about it even if I happen to agree with it. Who cares if it contains proper facts and evidence or whatnot when the post is so full of flame and bait material that there's no point in reading it, or caring about it.

I suppose the appropriate solution is do when any new potential poster does upon coming to the site. Read a few minutes and leave (hell, the SLCdunk Jazz posts seemingly get so much more traffic than this site does). I'm not quite to that point yet, since I wouldn't make a post about it, but this grade school "well he said something worse" is, to quote something in my sig, tiresome.

If you want this publicly than fine.

You got a warning, a warning not a fract, for you constant fighting, aggressive tone and name calling with Hack. It has been a slow build up.

I was the final vote approving it. Please just tone it down.

I see. This is about something larger and on-going for you. I'm sorry you're going through those motifs, but you can continue to flail at me if it lets some pressure out.

Meanwhile, there are some of posters who are on the edge of 'fracttown and near a forced absence. They'll want to know which direction the wind is blowing. I want to keep them around, so we can continue to have hits and stuff.
