        Some of the examples in this thread itself shows how moderation isn't easy. There was a link to a thread about an an Australian Diplomat calling for emergency visas for white farmers. It linked to an article in the NY Times.

        Some said it was racist or race baiting. I can understand where they are coming from. Others were fine with it.


        I reported this thread a day or two ago (maybe not for the first time) and it's finally deleted now. The problem in this case wasn't the article but the title of the thread -- the thread title ended with "...for White South African farmers - They know there will be a genocide"

        But the article itself didn't say anything about genocide. And the article is mostly about the ridiculousness of the politician who made the comment. So the post was pretty clearly race-baiting.

      • I didn't read all the posts on this thread so maybe it was noted before, but the anti-semitism in this forum is awful. The people making those posts are not runners.

        I like that you think pointing out the things you have written is "bullying" you.

        Yeah this is a good example of a moderation problem. I saw the first post by "Office Wilson", clicked "report post", then saw that he had responded several times to do more race baiting (or whatever you want to call it). It's too much for most people to go down the thread and report all of his posts. Even if they get taken down eventually, the posts have been up for more than 24 hours so they've already served their purpose.

        - because it's a designated troll thread, from trolls for trolls;
        - because trolls are presumed to be good for business.

        Flagpole of course is one of our two most ludicrous trolls that even got a verb in their honor (e.g., to flagpole a prediction) - imagine he too would troll in normal threads.

        The crazy moderating here is ruining this board.

        What is the point of a thread on moderating issues when nothing is done?

        Engaging and fair posts and threads disappear without reason... while insulting and idiotic posts regularly pass the sniff test.

        Recent Example:

        "Good" post. I hoped the title might still appear in the link to the removed thread, but it is well and truly nuked.

        Anyway, woudn't make sense to cite deletion of a "bad" post/thread as evidence of heavy-handed moderating.
