Even if they DON'T all agree to this, it seems pretty clear what the currently active/relevant mods' inclinations are. In other words, arguing against any hypothetical double standard is pointless even if it is present. It's well-known that there are plenty of double standards here. Mods that "don't moderate the thread" except when they want to use it to settle grudges, mods that ban one user for something another gets to do without punishment, and, perhaps the most relevant, mods that want to claim that there's a consistent standard for how moderation is done while wanting to reserve the right to clarify nothing about said standard and moderate in a manner that is often seen as capricious. Approaching this with the "if you don't like it, then just leave" strategy is certainly within their right as a moderation staff. In my eyes it's kind of petty and childish to do that on a consistent basis, but it seems like it's more or less the precedent. I do know that at least a few of the folks on the moderation staff don't really think that's the direction that should be taken, and that a perception of fairness really should play a role in how moderation is done. I don't really know that said people fit into the "active/relevant mods" that you mention, though. But when you do take on a "if you don't like it, then just leave" approach to all problems, a lot of people end up doing just that. Including, over the years, the vast majority of the people in the thread(s) who actually have something meaningful to contribute. All I seem to see now whenever I come back to look at these threads is... person A coming to the meta-thread to bait person B in the hope that B will say something banworthy, and a large crowd cheering on A because that B fellow just can't stop with his "hot takes" in the main thread. If that's what you refer to as "sustainable" then maybe the real problem is that it isn't worth sustaining in the first place. | ||

Which was hilarious because he just assumed he was some kinda celebrity that TL would of course accommodate. It was really weird seeing him go through a phase of thinking he was some kinda icon LOL | ||

I'm going to jump on this one as well: What? Source please. I was there from the minute the current thread went up, and I do not remember anything of the sort. | ||

Unless you absolutely like to clown around. Sent linked the old thread and new thread, so go read what he wrote in website feedback after the date the thread changed over. I'm sorry but I don't understand. Can't I just get a link to the post that has this: "Specifically, he was almost happy with the fact that right-wing posters were told to leave at the start of the new us politics thread. " | ||

With a lack of easily avilable evidence, you are supposed to dig through it to find it yourself, not the accuser. | ||
