How many reported posts/moderated posts/infraction points do you have?

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

I often made a habit of browsing your recent posts and reporting anything that might muster a violation (Wasn't hard considering you usually had at least one on the front page, which is only 15 posts). Complaining about this is rather hypocritical after you and your hero Hamilton reported posts of anyone Hamilton hated for stuff like using the word "retarded". I can say though that I did get a good number of your posts deleted for the style of "debating" which consisted of nothing but "You are wrong and I am right." which was essentially trolling so the mods clearly don't disagree. And that's exactly what you did in that thread.

Mind you, I have a far lower ratio of posts moderated out of posts reported than you do, and I have less posts even reported than you have moderated in general.

Yes, what Inks mentioned is the standard practice on most big political sites.

I look forward to reporting under this new with how frequently Libertas and CARLHAYDEN violate it.

Here we have further confirmation of who has been doing the childish 'tattletaling' around here.


Or "rat-finking" as opebo termed it.

Why does that come as no surprise to me? Guess we should expect no less from the person who wants the government to ban everything he doesn't like.


EDIT: I just checked properly, and I actually find it hilarious as hell that both of my moderated posts were to Hoffman. Immature of me to think that? Probably. But it's still hilarious.

Listen.  Everyone.  Legitimate posters will not be banned.  OK?  Got that?

I have one reported post.

Is there a way I can find out which one? I'm curious now.

I'm your one stop shop for all such things, although I only will say who it was in particularly obtuse instances....but you're in luck!  Politicaladdict reported one of your posts that didn't make any sense at all.

[Lunar]

oops, I missed this.

I did see this mentioned in another thread but I wasn't sure how the infraction thing worked.  So pretty much if a user reports a post from like 7 months ago two days ago it wouldn't count as an "infraction"?

It WOULD count [when "counting" actually has an effect on this forum again, not the case just yet!] if the moderator didn't realize it was from 7 months ago, but, you know, with a report we get an email which has the appearances of recentness, and sometimes we make mistakes and whatnot, but I can't imagine any moderator here not rescinding such a mistake when contacted.

So, yeah, complain to us if we ever mark a post older than two months as an infraction, although there's no official policy regarding such a thing, I don't think any of us feel such an old bugger of a post should deserve any infraction.

Any post older than 3 months, almost certainly should never receive an infraction, as 3 months is the expiration date Dave assigned for infractions themselves.  Anything older than that is either a mistake or a policy implemented by another mod which I do not understand, but most of us would rescind such a case and I would debate any other mod on the issue if they disagreed [unlikely].

You can see that I was clearly talking about posting entire articles in violating of copyright rules, which is something I have yet to report you for. Though I don't doubt I'll be able to at the rate you do it.

[Frodo]

Ooh, got another!

Reported Posts:     129
Moderated Posts:    56

How can Libertas have so many reported and moderated posts, but yet no infraction points?

Slate was wiped clean when the new system was introduced.

Thanks for ignoring the point. Or maybe it did just go way over your head.

[Ban my account ffs!]

How about rather than infractions, can we refer them to demerits?  Perhaps we can adopt a forum nun to smack the childrens' hands with rulers when they step out of line.

But one has to wonder if we even need moderators with the amount of tattling going on.  I'm starting to be sympathetic to Lunar and Mikado.. I really honestly didn't realize the sheer amount of childish elementary school behavior going on.   

BRTD, quit trying to out-douche the tattle tales.  If you can't seem to stop, check yourself back into 2nd grade and let them school you on maturity.

I only started reporting a lot after the new policies when it could get people banned. It worked in getting Hamilton banned so I figure I'd try it on Libertas. I reported next to nothing pre-2010.

Oh, that makes it much more mature...

Actually, it does the opposite.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Haha so my moderated ones were calling BRTD a moron for opposing Puerto Rican statehood under the circumstances that they vote Republican and for deriding the Catholic church for its sex scandals.  A personal attack and trolling.  If those were my worst, then I can only imagine how stupid the other two must be.  All definitely "whiny" and "telling on" me.

(Is that against the rules to tell?)

Let me just say that I did not report this, and that I think it is just as stupid as you do. Which makes me wonder who it was who actually did report that...

Oh and that means Lunar deleted a personal attack against me? That's kind of amusing considering he used to personal attack me all the time (No I did not care and I never once reported such a post.)

Even more amusing is people calling me a "tattle-tale" and all when excluding blatant spamming trolls like Ogis and Stark, I have only reported posts from three posters, and one of those only one time (That being Flyers. The only other people I have ever reported have been Hamilton and Libertas.)

Oh yeah there was HoffmanJohn's thread about masturbation too but honestly that probably should be classified with Stark and Ogis.

You are a tattletale, and the fact that you only report people you dislike (and obsessively so) in hopes of getting them banned makes it worse.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I suppose Phil was before your time, but it should be obvious that we did not get along. And I never reported one of his posts. Never, not once. And he probably holds the record on the forum for personal attacks against me, which is saying a lot.

Which is why this recently developed habit of yours is all the worse!  Do you want me to start looking for posts of yours to report so you can rack up enough to get banned?

Of course it would be incredibly hypocritical because I'm sure I have plenty of posts that could qualify for moderation as well... but you threw that out the window with your crusade against libertas.

Not liking a person is not grounds for banning.  You know that.

I don't particularly like some of things the guy does either... but we all have a little egg on our face when it comes to that (except, perhaps, Inks who is just so God damned nice)

[Eraserhead]

This thread is developing nicely.

You might be able to give him a few infractions, but there's not enough material by BRTD for such an event to occur.  It would probably be considered abusing the reporting system if you reported like 40 posts of BRTD's in a week and 95% of them were judged to be no infraction.  BRTD doesn't even count for a majority of Libertas's reports.  I count 9 different reporters of his posts for him in the month of June.

I have to say that it's not especially fun to have to make constant judgment calls when people report grey-area type posts that make a vague attack but aren't especially nasty.  

As you can see from Libertas's numbers, the vast majority, around 80, of his reports have resulted in no infraction being counted, so it's not like we mindlessly accept every report.

Additionally, I'd like to think that there should be an expiration date for all but the worst of infractions (If you posted hard-core porn, a serious privacy invasion, etc) of around a month, although I don't think there's a formal rule about that.  I'm quite glad that Dave decided to let "points" expire after three months, but I'd like to see reports not "count" if the report is past a  certain date....actually, I'm going to go suggest that right now on the mod board

I brought up concerns, BRTD and Libertas are throwing charges of hypocrisy at each other left and right, thus why I say "shut the hell up kids."
