There is utterly no reason why a temporary LR mode during live debates and suchlike shouldn't follow moderation standards at all. | ||

I think a few years ago during debates some people were griping that quality decreased. There is a lot more spam-like posting. I didn't say there should be no standards, but I wanted to thank the mods because I know not everyone likes reading (or having to skip) pages of context-less reaction posts. It's sort of like the thread on election night-- it's less cerebral . | ||

What is your problem? The thread exploded, mainly with one-liners that didn't make any sense if you weren't watching the debate. That kinda non-informative post is generally frowned upon in the thread and can net you a warning... make enough of them and you get a ban. As opposed to in the live reporting threads for when tournaments are on. All that was said, was that he enjoyed that people were allowed to make this type of one-liner. Which makes sense. Also to me, and I didn't watch either of the debates, saw 200 new posts and didn't really understand any of it. But I for one didn't really care. I just skipped to the end of it... Anyway, there's really no need to get all aggressive about it. | ||

So I broke down my single sentence to two separate sentences. Then as I am just puzzled that there was something he didn't understand so I asked. What aggression can you see in this? I didn't read the thread at that time so I have no idea what he is referring to. Thread explodes every now and then; am I supposed to read it each and everytime? | ||

Acrofales has it. Maybe I don't know the moderation standards as well I as I think I do, but most of the posts made during the debates wouldn't be allowed in the thread normally. Nowadays if you post a seemingly self-explanatory tweet you can get a warning if you don't preface it first. Examples of probably-not-allowed-in-normal-contexts: most of this page and the one after it. And perhaps you don't intend it, but your posts here are coming off as strangely aggressive. | ||

Btw, I have no context for whatever danglars just wrote. Whatever it is, it's typical of the now rather laxer US Pol moderating standards towards those who post like danglars and his ilk, possibly becuase everytime moderation is enforced consistently, they complain that they are unfairly targeted for "bias". | ||

And if they've crossed illegally you have even more reason to detain them while you check. I don't get how you could consider these people trustworthy when the very first thing they did was enter illegally. The separation is pretty awful for the legit families that are crossing, they should indeed be detained together while being checked. But that doesn't detract from my previous points. You don't know the people coming in, they could just as well be criminals as they are refugees or migrants. With them crossing illegally you have even more reason to detain them and check their background. Also if you want to play on emotions, what about the families of the US citizens? What about those cases where people get killed because criminals did cross over? Do you really want to say that its not common sense to at the very least check the people coming in to prevent cases like the above from happening? Strong borders makes sense. Your supporting statement should always come BEFORE you provide the source. | ||

It's amazing to me how much reactionaries love to be victims. Any other context we'd have bootstraps and personal responsibility, but here it's about them so all the sociological analysis and the mob mentality talk comes flooding in. | ||

Its good to see just how much people hate other people in the thread. "team evil" "he'd support child rape" "he'd support the holocaust" But no they are the ones in the moral high ground you see they have the correct ideas. I'm sure the mods will get to the report when they wake up and action him properly. No one wants the thread to degrade that far. If biff is allowed this xdaunt is perfectly in line with saying that people who support open borders (indirectly or not) support the same rape and murder that human traffickers are encouraged by their opinions. Shit will go downhill even from there fast and no one wants that | ||
