Closure & Redirect

"The Political Science of Acid Rain -- Why I don't have much Faith in Climate Scientists"↗ — Thread closed, transferred to Cesspool

Note: Good faith would be helpful insofar as people should not have to bother with bad faith.

 

• "Congressman Shot in Mass Shooting at Baseball Practice for GOP House Members in Virginia"↗ ― Three posts deleted.

Note: Reminder that advocacy of political violence is exactly inappropriate. While we can even presume occasions accidental if we wish, this is one of those points about which members really do need to show genuine caution. That is to say, even if we want to write it off as an accident, we need people to not accidentally write such direct advocacy of violence. One post deleted for inappropriate context; two additional responses to that post are struck for scrub.

 

Is there actually a conversation to be had about that subject matter without, well, you know, threatening to skin someone alive? I had to cancel my cable TV and block every source of news available to me to prevent me from possibly going mad. To everyone's surprise, my husband and I were considering our options for migrating to Australia, New Zealand, Chile or Ireland. Let's hope my country lasts the next collection of years to repair whatever damage we've done to ourselves.

 

Closure and redirect

• "Taking it way too far"↗ — Flame-bait thread closed and filed to Cesspool.

 

Closure and redirect

• "consent, incel, and rape." — Closed as rape advocacy

Note to other members: Don't fuck with the moderation about this stuff; we'll throw your ass out before we're finished dealing with the primary problem.

 

That was me

• "The Mueller Investigation" — One post↑ moved to "The Trump Presidency".

Note: The post was initially filed in the wrong thread.

 

Post struck

• "If Trump gets back in?"↗ — One post struck for insult.

Note: Reminder to put at least some effort into a post if you're determined to deliver an insult.

Also, when you go out of your way to be a troll, people are occassionally going to give that particular advice; it's a hazard of the role.
