That place went woke a LONG time ago. I remind myself once in a while to check mine just in case someone from the past is trying to reach out. I long ago quit bothering to use them for anything.These facebook goons are sure getting touchy. This time they haven't even told me what I said that was BAD. Well I guess I will get a littl more done not worrying about FB for this week.
I agree with this. If I've been moderated here before I haven't been notified? Don't care either. Forums that use that kind of moderation shouldn't be called a "Forum". When some ideas are allowed and a large number of opinion or ideas are canceled, and the members punished!? That's not a forum.Well, it is their sandbox, and their rules....

Yet another time I agree with you. Well said . . . . .I agree with this. If I've been moderated here before I haven't been notified? Don't care either. Forums that use that kind of moderation shouldn't be called a "Forum". When some ideas are allowed and a large number of opinion or ideas are canceled, and the members punished!? That's not a forum.
Speaking for myself, people joining a forum grow with it. Become part of the community. Treat those people like children and they'll remain children, or leave the forum. It's the members that make the forum. Treat 'em like crap and you'll end up with a crap website.
A lot of the moderation is automated. You can't run a site that big and have everything done by humans. You'd need a small town of moderators just to keep up. The have automation that looks for key words and phrases. The "algorithm" that you hear about is a bit of computer code that can look for relationships between words. For example, it might trigger on the word b!tch. If the context is dogs, it's probably OK. If it's a phrase like "life's a b!tch" it's fine. If someone is calling someone else's mother a naughty word, not so much. There are way more complex rules than that, but you get the picture. The thing is, they will use that as an excuse, when the reality is, those rules were written by people who have obviously injected their bias into the algorithm. It wasn't a computer error; it was deliberate action.This stuff must make them feel pretty powerful. Say something one of the wanna-be, snowflake, woke controller's/moderators thinks might trigger someone and its...."Double Secret Probation"! After an, unknown to you, magic number. "ACCOUNT DISSABLED!", for FIVE DAYS! They love it! On ifish it's been made known that the word "Woke" has the power to disable an account. And like you said Mark, all you have to do is post on a contentious thread, even if your post isn't contentious! Makes YOU blamed for others actions. Hey? That sounds like the state of Oregon and the common sense gun law stuff?
