Who do you guys think would actually make a decent mod for the history sub?

Lawrence Booth2 said:History is my life
History.com is basically my homepage
I read about history every single day
History is literally one-third of my job

And I actually asked to be banned from that subforum because of Smith

Same here!

lonetrucker4 said:And you know those are lies? People argue about this stuff constantly. I don't hand out bans just because someone makes a claim they don't like. You only get the boot if you're being offensive, if you're a broken record, or if you're stubbornly insisting on blatant falsehoods, etc.

When it comes to threads about the American Civil War, my standards are way more relaxed than they are for ancient history. Everything is still pretty fresh, archives aren't all laid out for everyone, and we haven't got that "historical distance" yet. I haven't banned anyone just for pushing theories I personally disagree with.

I'm also a bit more chill when we're talking about, say, Medieval American history, mostly because there are so few sources. You can defend all sorts of theories there, even if I think some of them are a total stretch.

Same goes for discussions on population genetics since that field is still evolving. People jump to conclusions way too fast, but I usually let it slide unless someone starts acting like they've got a PhD when they clearly don't. I even started that specific thread "what's your personal data, where and how to test," which technically isn't "History," but since it ties into genetic interest, it makes sense to have it here. That thread is actually working out great.

The guy's got a history degree, so he's probably more qualified to talk about this than you are.

And the kicker is you called me a right-winger. 🙏🙏🙏

I gotta give you some credit too, even if you do go overboard sometimes. You’re basically the mascot of this whole board—one of a kind. 😍

🙂 😘

Jeremy Johnson18 said:If I can go a little off-topic since we're wrapping this thread up, I gotta ask: What makes Charles Fox10 such a big deal? 🙂

Because he’s got thick skin, he's flexible, and he actually looks at the big picture. He's easy to work with, and honestly, when he hands you a card, his explanations are so solid you almost feel bad complaining about it. I don't know, man—he's just a damn good mod. And for the record, he’s definitely handed me cards before, so don't go thinking I'm just sucking up because he's never flagged me.

Charles Fox10 said:Sure, we could, but we rarely do that. Besides, you’re clearly just getting worked up because this isn't even your thread to moderate.

Just don't go there.

You’re forgetting he already shut me down in the politics sub, and you just wiped his warning away—so yeah, this isn't exactly his first rodeo.

Charles Fox10, look, you know I respect you more than anyone, I think the whole damn forum knows that.

Lock it.

mistyotter35 said:But you’re still coming up empty on proof. 🙂

Yeah, the second this thread popped up, the post was nuked.

Look, I get that mods see a deleted post

but it's just not right. You can't have someone who doesn't even moderate the subreddit handing out warnings and banning people. That's just not how things work here.

wearybison63 said:Maybe he's a supermod over there🤷

nah, Dyma is

supermods are red

How does a mod even get off handing out bans on a sub they don't even moderate? And honestly, this isn't even the first time they've pulled this stunt.

We're talking about the Movie section here.

She was such an incredible singer back when she was rocking it with The Beach Boys' Surfer Girl

Honestly,
stays her absolute best work.

works fine for me

lonetrucker4 said:Most of the people listed in that History PDF have barely ever posted anything, and it's pretty obvious they were picked based on political bias or just being "icons" rather than actual substance. Meanwhile, you've got plenty of regular contributors on this subforum who get totally ignored just because their views don't fit the specific political agenda.

🤦

Word on the street is they're filming some horror version of The Wizard of Oz

thanks a ton :)

Scott Long71 said:For something like this, a 30-day ban is the bare minimum. I know Saturday is a big day for you, so we'll unban you by then.

God, I'm such a saint. I gotta be careful not to be too nice, or I'll end up looking like a total sucker to my brothers. You owe me one. :)

Don't forget to unban me by Saturday :)

Thanks a million, seriously!!! I owe you one :)

Big thanks

Scott Long71 said:Do you actually get why you got the Ban? Your Ban will expire once you convince me you understand what happened and promise it won't happen again.

yeah, later tonight! but by then it was already too late to fix it

my bad, seriously, it won't happen again

Can someone walk me through this? Thanks

Christian Myers said:You've got a better shot at getting a pardon from the President than getting anything out of 😬

And you can't even spell the damn name right? No way this works out for you now. 🙄

you're right

but hey, we've still got until May

I've been sitting on this for 9 years, I can wait a little longer.

wearybison63 said:So, what, they're trying to pull your airtime again?😁

Where the hell does it say anything about downloading the partials in the post?!

That's gonna be in May. It's way too early to be talking about it right now.

Only eight days until Dolly Parton hits the stage.
