this in itself is fair. i just think it's ridiculous that you can't take "if a lead mod posts it, it's probably ok to post" on this site as a rule of thumb.

it's asinine that posts containing insults are getting deleted left and right when you have error and raptor constantly insulting and belittling people. either stop modding posts so harshly or get some different lead mods.

My posts are the weird ones though. Neither violates the ToS in any way at all.

yesterday, i made a topic on hellhole about my moderation that got some responses but 0 from the mods. very disappointing that the gamefaqs staff is so unhelpful.

(for those who don't know, hellhole is the unofficial board for users to ask the mods about mod-related stuff.)

The answer is gonna be that your post is a clear violation and if someone else doesn't get moderated for it just means they weren't marked. Yadda yadda

Whenever you (or anyone else) reports a post, it goes into a queue. Moderators/admins can view the queue and any of the marks. There's no specific order that we have to view them in, and all moderators are volunteers/the team is small, so sometimes it takes us a bit of time to get to reports.

Edit: Ninja'd. I remember Ulti I believe talking to XIII about his moderation and XIII explaining why he moderated it if memory serves correct like a month or two ago.

Unless things have changed radically in the past few years, boards don't have personal mods or anything. Anything marked goes into a general queue that is handled by whichever mod on the site happen to see it first.

Like, I suppose hypothetically a mod could mark something themselves and then immediately go to the queue if they wanted to, knowing that the message they marked would now be there and almost certainly beat anyone else to the punch.

Boards have set mods. XIII and Ryo are two of ours. Error15615 or whatever is one of CEs. Etc.

It can go to another mod if they aren't around I presume, but they are ours mods.

I get modded every time I called Corrik an ass which is a lot or insult him at all no matter how tame it is so if youre calling someone foolish its still an insult so dont act shocked

Let's be honest. It just is that our pathetic mod, that I won't name outright so it isn't a personal insult, needs to invest in a dictionary and probably touch up on their reading comprehension.

Just imagine modding everyone for saying their arguments are foolish. This board would be dead ten million times over more than it is already. It's a dumb (ZOMG IN BEFORE MODERATION) moderation.

The funny thing is that if you reverse the roles, both parties flip their stances. It is again the wonders of a 2 party system. If the Green Party was perceived to hurt the Republicans, the commission votes flip flop and the court votes flip flop. It is the tragedy of the 2 party system.

You likely would be talking about how stupid it is that the evil Republicans were preventing someone from appearing on the ballot because they moved, accusing Republicans of stifling democracy. Lol.

That is the problem with the 2 party system. If the roles being reversed literally flip flops the outlooks, it is simply partisan politics.

Some of you should ask why the courts are deciding this issue. The Green Party filed this lawsuit not the Republican Party.

https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/08/20/election-commission-deadlocks-whether-let-green-party-ballot/3404370001/

The Democratic Party is trying to keep the Green Party candidate out because they moved during the process and provided their new address later on and their old address earlier. Democrats say this should keep the candidate off the ballot.

Because

"Unspoken at last month's commission meeting was how the Green Party could affect the presidential election. Democrats fear the liberal party could take votes away from Democratic nominee Joe Biden and Republicans hope such a situation will help GOP President Donald Trump. "

This again seems like an issue where Democrats tried to do something right before deadlines then cried foul on Republicans because of the deadlines instead of the actual issue.

242 is it. It was moderated for abusive behavior but not deemed worthy of being deleted. Notified without deletion. Which of course means marking my subsequent posts for using the same not abusive behavior terms will increase the moderations if the moderator on his high horse deems to do so.

Your problem is that you generalize what you perceive as faults in specific users here and then generalize them to "yinz" so we all have to bear their "sins."

Hell, sometimes it isn't even us at all, you've leveled shit you've read on other forums like ResetEra as if we had to answer for it here

I never said anything positive or negative about the incident you're talking about but here I am facing a post where you're coming at me (on an unrelated topic no less) with it as an example along with predetermining my sentiments. I'm... pretty sure I've admitted when I've been wrong on stuff. I generally try to be pretty careful with what I say/comment on so I like to think it doesn't happen too often but it has and I try to own up to it when it does, If you have any cases where I have behaved as you're alleging I'm completely open to hearing them out. But I don't give a fuck if you're going to throw shit that other people have done at me as though I must answer for them. They can answer for themselves if you'd actually accuse them specifically instead of just hiding behind "yinz" all the time.

I don't have the memory to separate all of you, especially with your name changes and such. Nor do I have to think you have to bear all your sides sins either. I think it is just not fair to only point out the sins of one side, while it happens all around, as if it's like only a conservative commonplace or something.

Vanuata is the best country in the world for dealing with the covid-19! (Despite doing nothing for it!)

North Korea is the best non-island country in the world for dealing with the covid-19! (lol)

Very simpleton. You know that. It's cherry picked.

Is the country who lockdowns for a year straight for a vaccine and has a decimated economy for 20+ years dealing with the pandemic better than the country who locked down a month, was in the top 10 in per capita deaths, and the economy was messed up for 2 years better?

I mean, there is very hard questions to ask there. So using a simpleton argument regarding it that easily doesn't even tell the full picture seems a bit short sighted.

The problem though is again. Let's say I am exactly right. Sweden has reduced rates do to increased immunity. It can't possibly spread like it did initially now due to natural social distancing due to immunity. The other countries that locked down increase in rates until they reach similar thresholds in say 6 months.

In 6 months, you will all just fall silent and ignore being wrong about it regardless. So, for yinz it is a no lose argument regardless. We have seen this time and time again with jumps to conclusions and when found to be wrong, crickets in return.

How many people responded to the minneapolis riot over the guy who shot himself after murdering someone else over "police brutality" when I said that some of these riots don't even make sense to riot over? Crickets. I mean, I get it. Why respond to things you don't wanna think about or talk about. i do it sometimes also. However, it is an example of how some of the right can't even discuss with yinz. You only a lot want to hear what you want to hear, and if ever proven wrong to the oh so despicable conservative posters here, just act like it never happened!

As for Trump's absolute failure on COVID-19 there are a ton of ways to approach it but I think a fairly simple one is to just look at deaths per capita where we're among the worst in the world (10th worst worldwide; 57.75 per 100,000) and compare us to say, Germany (11.24 per 100,000).

That is a very simpleton way to look at things, of course.

Not really a fan of the meta talk here but I think a defining conversation, and one I should have taken to heart much sooner than I ultimately did, was one I had with red sox probably back in like 2017 or maybe 2018 idk time anymore.

I forget the exact topic of discussion, but IIRC the topic was discussing the Mueller investigation at a time when I believe Sessions was still AG. The topic was discussing an argument being made by the Trump DOJ (but in a casual sense, no one was linking sources or anything because it was obvious) and red sox was pushing back along the lines of, "Come on guys, Republicans are too smart to make such an argument" or something. I posted an article showing that, yes, the Trump DOJ was literally making such a claim as we were all talking about. And within 10 minutes red sox had switched sides entirely and was defending the Trump DOJ's claim. When I called him out on this by quoting the total 180 he made inside of 15 minutes his response was, "15 minutes ago I didn't know that [this was the Republican argument]!"

I think it kinda encapsulates perfectly why the topic generally feels the way it does.

If you really, really want to try and find this discussion, I don't know how these archives are structured but IIRC the post I made when quoting red sox's flip simply said "The prosecution rests." so maybe you can Control+F that but if you have to go topic-by-topic then it probably isn't worth it because I truly don't remember the approximate time of all this beyond the Mueller investigation definitely being an ongoing thing at the time.

How many times have people jumped onto redsox for jumping to conclusions while doing the exact same like 10 posts later?

How many times do people call our redsox or myself or so on for doing something while others "on their side" do the same and go unscathed or even agreed with?

I think, it is easy to sit here and play these bad faith and bad people games. This is a discussion topic. You should be able to listen to views from the opposite sides and just present sides without an agreement having to be come to, even if you view it ridiculous. The problem is that a select few decided to make this a "we are better than others" topic and spend like half their posts just discussing how they are better than others and others aren't as good as them for not recognizing what they should be doing like them. That is has become acceptable in here is actually kind of weird. I am at least instilled with some hope because at least a few of you have spoken out against that lately, but my point is... its hard to call out red sox or something repeatedly while others do the same just as much and go without a whisper.

How many times have I pointed out Kamikaze's issue with the lynchings claim? Tony even tried to defend what Kamikaze said inaccurately. I proved that wrong with direct quotes. Tony went quiet. Kamikaze acts like they have me on ignore (maybe does here and there) while responding directly to me here and there to not acknowledge it.

I mean, we can do this all day. There is very few bulletproof people in here regarding their arguings tbqh.

The new outbreaks in countries that appeared to have the virus under control are quite unlikely to get as bad as the ones at the start of the pandemic in Italy or France or NYC or wherever. We know a lot more now, and have more tools (e.g. we know masks help slow the spread, we're better at treating the virus, a lot of countries have contact tracing in place). Feel free to say "I told you so" if I'm wrong, but most of these countries are absolutely not going to get as bad as the US, and they will not have as much death as they would have had without the lockdowns (or even better yet, quick testing+tracing to avoid ever having to go that far, e.g. South Korea).

I agree with better knowledge of the virus our governors wouldn't have ordered those sick with the coronavirus into nursing homes, etc. We probably won't know for 10-20 years what really happened during all of this. There is motivations to not report accurate numbers by governments, differences in testing numbers, densities, populations, obesity rates in countries, and so on that will need to be analyzed that possibly may never come to actual conclusions on due to the complexity of the situation.

Sweden has one of the worst death rates per capita in the world (the 13th worst according to this, just below the US):
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality

Note, btw, that most Swedish people voluntarily distanced; it wasn't literally life as normal there. In fact, my understanding is that voluntary compliance there is quite a bit better than in the US (which is part of the reason we're doing so badly). But if you compare Sweden to most countries other than the US, their policy appears to be a total failure (and iirc their economy isn't doing better than the other Scandinavian countries which locked down and thus had way fewer deaths per capita).

Their economy is of course intertwined with the countries surrounding it. They can't escape the economic damage of course.

Again. For the umpteenth time. You are comparing the now versus the end. Their positivity has plummeted while those who locked down are rising. Thus, their death rates will increase while Sweden's won't. Thus, they just got to where you always were going to get to faster.

The, of course, wild card is the vaccine. If a vaccine could be done in 30 days do you lock down 30 days? Probably right? If a vaccine is going to be 30 years, do you lock down for 30 years? Probably not, right? What if you don't know when it could be from a year to a decade. Do you do the proposed rolling lockdowns? Every 3 months you relockdown for a month? Do you roll with it? Does it matter if you spread out the deaths and infections as long as you stay under the hospital limits? The point of the lockdowns was to mitigate it from overwhelming hospitals right? Have we lost focus on that?

Nowhere was the point of lockdowns to keep our death rates lower. The point of the lockdowns was to keep our death rates from staggeringly increasing by not having hospitals to support the sick. Many have lost that message in their political hand-wringing.

sweden isn't the worst but they're not exactly doing great either. they have more cases (but less deaths, admittedly) than my country, even though sweden's population density is far lower. i wouldn't say your "sweden did the right thing by not locking down" point is backed up by the numbers.

Again. You are taking the numbers now versus what the numbers will end up being. Sweden is at under 1% positivity on 100k+ tests a week. They have fallen off to basically lockdown numbers without a lockdown, while the places that did lockdown are seeing the virus return. Sweden never even closed schools.

How does Sweden show that? Most countries are doing a lot better than the US or Sweden (without larger economic damage as far as I know), and if a vaccine arrives in, say, the first half of 2021 they're very likely to stay that way.

Sweden isn't the worst despite no lockdowns and just voluntary guidelines. I mean, I understand you are picking an arbitrary date that is politically advantageous to your causes (October vaccine we should wait til next year to see if safe - Early 2021 vaccine safe and makes our 2020 response terrible etc). However, you have to also take this from a viewpoint that a vaccine from the on start was considered impractical /unheard of to be made within a year and could have taken up to a decade if not ever under normal processing speed / possible complications.

You are saying that Sweden shows the wrong path if a safe and effective vaccine (that can be delivered to entire country right away) appears magically when Biden takes office. However, I disagree.

I agree that we should have locked down initially. We literally did not know what we were dealing with then. I agree we should have preached logical rules that covered every facet of society, not with exemptions. However, we definitely thought it was going to be a lot worse than it actually was though also. We have come a long way from begging for 30k ventilators in New York concurrently to probably not even using 30k ventilators in New York ever cumulative.

We overreacted. And that is fine. When unsure, we should take the most precaution. However, in hindsight we can see it was one. Doesn't change how we should have acted. But, it does show Sweden probably in a huge gamble took the better approach.
