I get that mods aren't under any sort of requirement to explain their decisions, but still I would really appreciate some sort of guideline for what constitutes an offence in the thread, because as stated above - I've got no clue anymore.

just go wild and see what happens. you cant find the line without toeing it
The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.

Guys, as mentioned before, if you see a post that looks actionable, report it and move on. The thread moves extremely fast and only so many mods potentially keep up with the conversation etc... As for that post, can you please provide a link to it? Thanks!

If there's a post that I thought was actionable that didn't get actioned, I won't be reporting the next instance. But coming in and asking about why it isn't actioned might be warranted.

You have to realize that there are different mods that take on reports. One report might be 100% actionable in the eyes of one mod while the same report might look a bit less actionable to another. Obviously, we try and reduce that variance as much as possible. Anyways, my point with my post was that not a single person even reported that post you guys mentioned earlier.

Thank you for the reply BigFan.

It's this post by leporello: http://www.liquidhearth.com/forum/general/383301-us-politics-mega-thread?page=8598#171952

And it was reported by me. When I click the post it gives me the "this post has already been reported". I mainly read the politics thread on the hearthstone page, maybe that's the issue?

EDIT: In most cases I would just move on, but when a new line for moderation seems to be set in place I feel it is only reasonable to ask why so that the quality of reporting can improve. That way the moderation team also gets fewer reports to handle.

Well, there you go. I can only mod on TL, not its sister sites lol. I went and checked the reports on here and that report didn't show up from what I can see.

edit: the report is on the sister site but it hasn't been actioned yet. Going to have to wait until someone actions it then lol.

I thought that the shared part of the forums would have shared report systems. Interesting - thanks for the info

EDIT: Maybe it was worth considering? No idea how reasonable a suggestion it is.

you mean a shared report system? Guessing it'll be rough to do since all that stuff is separate. Not sure of feasibility. R1ch would know more in that case.

Nah, merely shared report system for the shared forums (i.e. General)

oh I see, ya, still not happening. R1CH won't do it afaik.

Regardless, this is interesting though. Guess it explains why we only get so many SC Pol reports here.

Slight aside: I have seen a guy named R1CH who takes care of the coding matters of the website on more than just TL. Makes me wonder if he's more than just a TL & Friends coder or if maybe the name R1CH is just popular in website coding circles. Lol.

I'm fair!y sure I've seen him pop up quite a bit on reddit with regards to some non-tl programming things (notR1CH I think. Hell sometimes mock some of valve's stranger decisions like the time they ddos'd the we!ves).


Side note, if we aren't sure about whether something is threadworthy or not could we post it here and ask?

hm, if reports from sister sites don't show up even when dealing with the shared forums, that's a problem. I didn't know about that. I think, logically, that the moderators are more likely to use the original tl as we are more likely to have been around for a long period of time, and then if you report something from heartstone, it's more likely that nobody saw it.

I agree that the post from leporello is actionable. I'm on vacation and haven't been reading the thread (1300 unread messages is kind of a mountain to climb), but if I had seen a user complaint about that post, I would've done something - and in general, I'm about the most lenient mod on the site.

zlefin, you need to calm down. If you are angry, do not post. This applies to pretty much any type of conversation, both online and offline. It's extremely hard to be reasonable while being angry, and it's very rare for unreasonable posts to spur productive discussion.

It's posts like this which really make it clear that it's not a good faith argument being presented:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/general/383301-us-politics-mega-thread?page=8640#172789
"It's a simple idea, and I wish it was purely tautological. If the Left was sane on the issue, it certainly would be. But instead, as demonstrated above, there are countless apologists on the Left for illegal immigration. One would think that there'd be less love for human trafficking and indentured servitude."

xdaunt and danglars are again trolling up the thread, on immigration this time.
Great read: http://shorensteincenter.org/news-coverage-2016-general-election/ great book on democracy: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/10671.html zlefin is grumpier due to long term illness. Ignoring some users.

Clearly if you don't support the wall then you do support human trafficking. Those are the only two options.

It doesn't even wiggle the needle of thread norms with regards to pointed argumentation.

It's absolutely desirable because people like ChristianS thought the point was tautological, and it obviously wasn't given all the controversy. He learned something.

Kwark goes off trolling in his "0% illegal immigration hypothetical" and so do two or three others, which sorta underscores the entire reason for bringing it up. If you have to represent the point in bad faith or talk around the point, chances are it's a tough topic for one ideological bastion.

I made no hypothetical, it really is just unclear what xDaunt is asking. He didn't clarify whether he wanted no illegal immigration through legalizing immigration or by stopping illegal immigration without fixing the reasons it exists, or some combination of the two.

We're not refusing to talk about it, on the contrary we're making a much more good faith attempt to discuss it than xDaunt's silly "are you in favour of crime?" deserved.
