I'll be honest...the recent moderation has caused me to visit the board less. If that's what the brojos want to accomplish for this, then they're doing a good job! Too many strange deletions for posts that do not deserve it. So much for free speech! 🤣

We have always moderated the boards. We have always received complaints.

We are always trying to improve.

Some people say we delete too much . Some people too little.

I need specific examples.

Recently Molly Seidel posted about 69 on instagram. She's a public figure posting on instagram. Fair game for discussion. The discussion started going a bit sideways and was becoming a pain to moderate so a mod deleted it. I restored the thread and locked it.

There was a huge thread about Seth Demoor. It seemed to devolve into more personal attacks about the guy. Some posts about his family. We received a lot of complaints. We locked the thread.

Those are the 2 threads I think I've received emails on recently.

Any other threads you have complaints about?

I can only speak for myself…so I will. The moderation on this site is squeezing out the fun, humor, and silliness that made letsrun a great place to visit after a hard day. The forum is much more conventional and normal, and maybe some people like that, but I find less reason to come here, as LRC is becoming like everywhere else. Almost all of the funniest posts are deleted in every single thread.

Similarly, almost every post I have made on this topic gets deleted. My emails on this subject garnered no reply. I suppose they were ignored. So I am stuck, because I am unsure how else to communicate my thoughts to management except through posts.

Anyway, I hope this thread lasts at least a little while. It is possible that the brothers are unaware of how heavy-handed the moderation has become, and what it is doing to this site. If this post remains for an hour or two, maybe they will read it. God bless and have a great night!

Well, it seems you should stick to 4Chan if misogyny, casual racism, right wing nationalism, and disinformation is what you seek.

LetsRun is much better now that there is stricter moderation and the up and down votes. Up and down votes on your posts (the ones that aren't deleted) show that you are in the minority with your complaints.
