Having been on other message boards, I’m glad this one takes a harder line.

Joe Banks

This board just needs to let the ignore function work instead of banning

jrifkin48

Some stuff needs to be moderated. But some of it is just silly.

TheWanderer

7/13/22 9:18am

The problem is that few apparently understand the categorization rules

El Jefe

7/13/22 9:29am

This response doesn't actually undercut Thewanderer's views on moderation it supports him and

Baron

Only if you disagree with the rules on categorization

El Jefe

7/13/22 9:34am

On this one. It is the moderation. The rules on categorization is fine. It is the inability

Baron

People complain all the time that we should be more black and white and not make judgment calls

El Jefe

7/13/22 9:46am

People complain all the time that you moderate. That's the biggest problem. Don't moderate as much.

Baron

7/13/22 9:50am

He can't not moderate though. He's like Chuck McGill in Better Call Saul.

I was suspended one hour for this. My suspension ended at 10:06 am that day.

TheWanderer

7/13/22 9:34am

There is a restriction on new threads, yes.

El Jefe

7/13/22 9:36am

Is there a difference between restriction on new threads and suspension?

TheWanderer

7/13/22 10:37am

No, you can still reply, just can't start a new thread

El Jefe

7/13/22 10:49am

Understood. Thank you for clarifying.

“Had to re-write the entire post because it was lost.”

ZagsVisitor

7/13/22 9:57am

That’s actually a big deal. Some posts are pretty long

ColonelMustard

7/13/22 10:19am

I get that, but no matter how long it is, it’s a board post, so it’s

What is this Ctrl+C thing you speak of?

7/13/22 10:55am

Wait, I’m just confused how a board posts significance is capped by definition.

SuperTank

7/13/22 1:05pm

He's saying that a message board isn't significant

El Jefe

7/13/22 2:21pm

This was a pretty long post actually.

TheWanderer

7/13/22 10:34am

We also don't know your mind

MarylandFan

7/13/22 2:20pm

That's a fair reason to be hesitant.

El Jefe

7/13/22 8:20am

How about you tell people to use their ignore/block button?

jrifkin48

7/13/22 9:06am

I would love people to use them more

El Jefe

7/13/22 9:15am

In fairness, some users deserve to be antagonized to maybe help them stop being so dumb so consistently.

Turnpike Lane

7/13/22 9:32am

Exactly. If you encourage moderation you lead to more moderation. Just push them to manage themselves through ignore.

Baron

7/13/22 9:28am

If people are so upset by a 3 hour or 1 day posting ban

Machiavelli

7/13/22 9:30am

The problem with that is after 5 or 6 moderations you get a force ignore and are banned from those categories

IBC

7/13/22 1:31pm

That's a little disingenuous. They'd have to be pretty close together (within a month generally)

El Jefe

7/13/22 2:23pm

You sure about that. "A couple of few week bans before permanent"

Deleted

7/13/22 2:33pm

I wasn't speaking to specific situations, but more generally.

El Jefe

7/13/22 3:10pm

By other ways you mean moderations right ? That seems to match this description IMO.

Deleted

7/13/22 3:18pm

Is that true? People swear they’ve been banned from categories for life

TCuz

7/13/22 2:35pm

Yes, what I said is almost always true.

El Jefe

7/13/22 3:16pm

I don't know why you open yourself up more for legal liability by banning people from categories especially

Moderation on the board sucks and most of the moderation is by one person.

Baron

7/13/22 9:13am

Yeah, same here. 90% of my penalties have been handed out by one mod.

TheWanderer

7/13/22 9:26am

15 of my last 15 suspensions are from Jefe. Some of them are fine, but I will

Odysseus

7/13/22 10:55am

The moderation in the Religion category is especially inconsistent and seems to

Odysseus

7/13/22 10:52am

That’s the actual rule. The written rules are just to justify the actual rule

TCuz

7/13/22 10:59am

Jefe: "I didn't see that post. You should have reported it"

Superkid

7/13/22 11:07am

Hey, he seems to see my “rule breaking” posts very, very quickly. That’s so odd.

TCuz

7/13/22 11:10am

I did see that post, actually

El Jefe

7/13/22 11:28am

I’m glad it wasn’t deleted though and would bet >98% of CB agrees

Odysseus

7/13/22 11:30am

Which exacerbates the problem that some weirdos on here apparently like to report "abuse" as a weapon against people

7/13/22 12:43pm

While we're airing our gripes, the fact that you can't send BMs, react to posts, or even vote in polls during a ban

This approach is way more reasonable than the way things currently work.

You can get in trouble around here when other people attack you, and for posting

Hey, Prince, you already posted that on this thread.

Hey at least I'm consistent. Fair point though, deleted my redundant comment

Machiavelli

7/13/22 3:06pm

Yep, the biggest issue to me is the "time outs"

MarylandFan

7/13/22 2:06pm

If you don’t like it, don’t break the rules. Then they won’t have to babsit you.

ZagsVisitor

7/13/22 2:15pm

On reddit you just get banned from subreddits altogether

Machiavelli

7/13/22 3:07pm

Depends on the subreddit, right?
