Personally, I like the moderation here. It strikes the difficult balance between allowing discussion of sensitive topics while preventing the forum equivalent of descending into all-out verbal Armageddon about as well as any humans possibly could.
Bending to whatever ideology bonetopick wants to push, be it right, left or otherwise, would probably get equally angry posts from others so I encourage the moderators to give this post the minimal attention it deserves.
- dang 7y agoWe tend to leave posts like the OP up. This one was killed by a software filter as well as heavily flagged by users, but I turned all of that off. That way we don't get accused of killing it for sinister reasons, but also the occasional thread like this can act as a pressure valve to air grievances and give us a read on how the community is feeling. My sense is that the bulk of the community does not share the feeling that moderation here is so biased or vindictive. But if that's wrong, we definitely need to know.
- matt_the_bass 7y agoI wish more people IRL would follow this advice.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoThe only thing worse than moderators is the sites with no moderation. I've been watching a site I liked turn into a venting ground for mentally ill people, trolls, and people with a strange, obsessive hatred of one particular person and everything he does. It's rather unpleasant. So thanks for all you do. You get lots of complaints (nobody likes being on the receiving end of what you do), but the site is far better because of you.
