It's a bit of a stretch to say he supports the mass murder of innocents just because he believes the invasion of Poland was justified. Most Socialists think it's OK to use force to steal other people's shit.

Changing topic slightly away from this nazi talk. I understand why the mods would moderate deniers of the WW2 genocide.

However I've occasionally seen people deny England was responsible for the genocide of Irish people. Why is this denial allowed but not the nazi one? I know the Pro British media has brainwashed people into thinking they never did much harm in ireland but still.

What? I've never seen anyone even talk about that here.

Hmm, what to talk about, then? Actually, I remember Star saying something about a quota system before, I was very confused by that. Does a quota actually exist for mods? I'm not entirely sure what he was referring to.

Hmm. I can't remember exactly which thread he mentioned that in, so I'm going to have trouble digging up the post.

I remember him bringing it up as well, in addition to a few other things that got him a light warning, or at least a suggestion that it "wasn't the time or the place" for his post. IIRC, and I could be way off on this, it was quota for bans. Why would the mods have a ban quota though? That makes zero sense.

The quota thing is nonsense.

The head mods routinely look through who is handling reports and actively discussing moderation in modchat, so if someone is slacking off on either discussion in mod chat or handling reports (this can be anything from removing bogus reports to going through with moderation) then they'll be nudged into showing more activity. Moderators activity in threads is also looked at.

I know this because a) I've read the head mod discussion and b) my activity had been discussed during my time without activity.

There is no quota and any ban quota would be stupid. There is however active attempts from the head mods to encourage every moderator to help with the workload.

Hypothetically, if a moderator isn't a) actively handling reports b) adding constructive advice or comments in mod chat or c) being a positive influence on the forums... then whats the point in being a moderator?

Agree with Carl. A mod quota would just encourage mods to moderate and probably result in harsh or unfair bans as they will feel under pressure to reach their quota.

@CGI Roger. Didn't see your post before I made mine.

Not sure where to post this. I'm guessing here.

There is a thread right now discussing the health of a prominent American politican. In that thread, the author posted this:

Consider this a warning, from this point on; moderations will be given to anyone posting politics in this thread.


So, how does that work? One makes a thread about a prominent politician, then threatens to mod anyone that talks about politics? That's ridiculous, in my opinion.

Be consistent then.  There's some overzealous modding to do now.  Or, more reasonably, you could retract the warning about discussing politics on a thread about a prominent politician.  

Right.  If we can't talk mention his politics, then the thread is about as useful as a thread about any random person's health crisis.  Such a thread would be frowned upon, maybe locked.
