…it’s all part of the game that the very-able play and that I’ve been dragged back into… first by my own family back in Feb, and then secondly here on ILP… despite my reluctance and protestations, to both.
If you breath, and are awake more hours in the day than you are asleep, then you’re in the game… apparently, or you automatically get relegated… by default, and I weren’t going to let that happen.
Those that play a vile game or are too mentally unwell, for my moral tastes, are removed from my radar/arena/playground/line-of-sight etc etc etc., for I refuse to be the cause of any effects and actions that such types may incur. So definitely a conflict of differences going on, mais… c’est la vie.
I ain’t missing moderating twits and belligerent drunks… they know who they are, because I didn’t want to moderate twits or belligerent drunks… hence no hard feelings or resentment, on my part.
Enjoying the show of the last 2 days? That Aegean… a funny guy huh? and what ever happened to Phon? a fine example of becoming the company you keep…?
Yes, its pretty silly how much they are being allowed to destroy. Carleas has no time, and with what he doesn’t moderate, porn and nazism, this place runs a risk of being taken offline. Ive talked to him about that but he said that such things cant happen in America.
The report function is very helpful for me, I can’t read everything but I do check the reports.
Is the porn just naughty words, or are people posting pictures? The latter are a problem
Nazism is a harder case. If people are defending bad ideas, that’s OK, they can be wrong and the response is to argue or ignore. If people are harassing people for their perceived identity, that’s not OK.
Either way, I’m happy to review anything anyone views as problematic. Fair warning that I have a pretty high tolerance for what’s OK, but I’ll seriously consider any reported post.
The mods here in my opinion have always been great at their jobs and remaining unbiased. Mags and humean and Dan were my favorites. What are you typically looking for in a moderator? Are you going to not have any for the site now? Are you going to be enforcing rules against ad hominem or other logical fallacies?
Dude, this is pretty absurd. How can you not notice the promotions of genocide being posted here continuously?
I don’t care about these morons but I do think the site is legally in danger with each call to murder based on race. It wouldn’t surprise me if this is their intention. To spam the site with explicit genocide propaganda and then report it to get it taken offline. It has happened to several big US forum sites the past years.
Id take at least a superficial interest in your website brother, if I were you.
As for porn, Dan has already had to remove several images.
As for racial harassment, that has been going on here forever. MagsJ has sometimes stepped in but she cant really be asked to deal with it constantly, as it also means reading all these spasmodic posts, which is downright unwholesome.
I take it your motivations for staying aloof are similar. Who wants to look at such pits of depravity?
Better pretend worst that goes on here is some naughty sexting.
Sad thing is these people are actually quite amusing when they aren’t labouring on their weird agenda. It would be fantastic if they would gain some self-respect. Ive tried to help them into some conscious self-valuing - and come to think of it it kind of worked, a bit.
But value ontology is the only thing that could restore some soul in them.
If only for that reason this site needs to stay online.
