Can you please add "sex" to that list of yours Ive bolded? There's a lot of going after women and girls on LRC because our sex.
Sexism and and the particularly severe form of sexism against women and girls (the female kind) known as misogyny should rank right up there racism and ageism as no-nos. But there's quite a lot of both on LRC
Sorry, some things are simply time honored traditions here. A little misogyny is just part of that free speech lockeroom banter that makes this place great.
A thread about Kristi Noem blowing away her puppy got deleted. Beyond her being a somewhat presumptive VP pick for Trump, it raised what should have been an interesting discussion about the divide between how people in rural communities and urban communities see pets. I know people in rural communities who keep dogs for hunting or herding. It is not at all out of the ordinary for the owners to euthanize the dogs if they get too old, are hurt or just can't do their job. But the Noem thread got deleted obviously because it was negative for Republicans. There have been other examples, but I cannot recall the last one. At the same time, plenty of threads bashing Dems stay up, like a very dumb thread today comparing Hilary Clinton's mislabeling funds that were used to pay for the Steele Dossier to Trump's using campaign funds to pay off a playboy model and porn star.
If there are going to be political threads, then moderators should not be picking what stays up based on their particular political slant, which around here is usually to the right.
That thread was mine. I didn't even taunt a particular group of people here who gets coddled and gets special treatment from the moderation team here, and it still got taken down.
We appreciate your efforts. It is not easy to moderate a widely-visited site like this where anyone can start a thread and comment. You will always have whiners and complainers. They are almost always people who would never create and run something like this.
Most of us respect the athletes and are generally supportive of their careers. Even those of us who competed at lower levels know how hard it is.
On the political side, it is pretty clear that all the mods are on the left. They leave up personal attacks and threats of violence from their side, but are often quick to take down politely-stated factual comments that make Biden and the Dems look bad.
Two minor suggestions:
1). Non-registered users who randomly start threads saying this place is "toxic" should get the immediate ban hammer.
2). It might be worth considering a 10 comment a day upper limit. Or 12, or 15, or a number you see fit. That would be more than enough for an active daily user, but could nip at a few of the extreme over-posters who clog up threads.

LOL
Wejo could clarify this for us and then we'd know for sure. There is zero chance the mods are evenly split Biden-Trump.

Why don't you cap the number of posts a certain poster can make each day? You know who I'm talking about. He derails every single doping thread with his trolling.
I honestly don't know who you are talking about. Feel free to email me as I don't read all the threads.
We ban people for going off topic if they do it intentionally but the ban isn't permanent.
I don't buy that for a second. How many times do people like DanM (the M stands for MD, i'm sure) pop up in threads on any topic and then bring up the COVID vaccine. It's practically a daily occurrence so if they're banned then I guess it's only for a few hours?

My bett is on rekrunner. Banning him would make a lot of threads more readable.

it's coevett, rekrunner, and armstronglives. All 3 need to go. Or maybe some rule that if a certain poster can only have so many individual responses, or % of total responses in a thread? They just take over any doping related threads and ruin them for everyone else.
Quit taking down real factual news about far right republicans. You deleted threads about Tommy Tuberville who held up military promotions for months and about the fake electors in Arizona and Michigan, which is an actual attempt by republicans to steal the election through fraud.
Not running related, but since we got a brojo in the house and responding i have to ask this...How many of those burrito track club shirts did you sell and how much money went to shelby?
