I mean it was immediately set as [dead]. Not even 30 seconds after posting. Is that characteristic of a moderator action?

- dang 8y agoSoftware did that; your comment triggered a spam filter. Then a user came vouched for it, which is the intended use of vouching. Moderators didn't touch it.
- Diederich 8y agoHow about this one? https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=0x54D5 https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=0x54D5 (meaning: this isn't a super new account, why is it dead? I think I've been the one vouching for quite a few of the comments)
- yourbandsucks 8y agoPossibly. Can you honestly complain? You're upset that the SSC guy didn't aggressively moderate others, after all, when it wasn't even his job.. maybe there's a lesson here.
- kadendogthing 8y agoNah I don't think a technolibertarian heavy site really has any lessons to offer on moderation or discussion. But you can't really go from [dead] to being able to view the post without moderator intervention in such a sort timespan I would think. It's two separate things. Sorry to confuse the issues. I know some of you desperately want there to be some moralistic lesson here. But it will never happen. And to be perfectly clear, I'm never upset about moderation as long as it can be discussed. So don't get confused with generic talking points that no one is presenting.
- yourbandsucks 8y agoThe lesson is that it's about the quality of viewpoint rather than tribal allegiance. I'm not even libertarian and I'm definitely not technolibertarian. I don't even know what that is, it sounds like "combine how dumb libertarians and tech people are about politics and economics". Get out in your community if you really care. Prove your tolerance and appreciation of diversity by actually mixing with different kinds of people.
