The way you've phrased this question actually shows you realize you stepped way over the line with your last comment, totally ignoring the FBI guidelines.
What was the point of that?

Dropping hints and making those little snide allusions doesn't make this discussion any better.

Reddit isn't the place to be debating how moderators should be chosen.

Who exactly?

I have to say, it’s been a massive eye-opener realizing there are actually people out there who wash their hands, save the rinse water, and then try to pass it off as some kind of holy foundation.
Honestly, that’s a huge revelation for me.

When I'm making pizza dough, I usually end up with flour caked all over my hands, so I just rinse them with some warm water right into the dough.

Is that actually okay to do?

James Patel20 said:It feels like every single thread turns into this endless "left vs. right" shouting match.

So, what else do we need to spark another one of these "great debates"?
😢

amberskipper3 said:I honestly couldn't care less about your hygiene habits or your picky eating preferences.
I posted this for an entirely different reason.

I was really hoping you'd just admit you misread the situation.

🙂

amberskipper3 said:The keyword there is "messy."
But honestly, that’s not even the point. What’s actually hilarious is the moderation style here—that lightning-fast admin strike.
I could throw out a bunch of old American proverbs to describe this situation perfectly, but I really don't feel like digging through the folklore archives right now.

Now, if we're talking about hands getting a little messy with food dough while prepping a meal, then yeah, I definitely agree—it's pretty ridiculous.

amberskipper3 said:Look, I’m not even trying to complain here—mostly because there isn't really anyone to complain to anyway.
For hours now, this thread has been filled with "advice" suggesting people should use hand-washing water for cooking.
The users are all over it, reporting the post, yet somehow the comments get nuked while the actual post stays right where it is.
After seeing two rounds of comments get wiped while this incredibly moronic post remains untouched, I have to ask: are we seriously just going to let this stay up?
The mods didn't say a single word about this thread before now.
But then, out of nowhere, everyone descends on me and I get slapped with a red card.
Top-tier moderation, truly.
So, consider this a heads-up for everyone else: if you see someone post something unbelievably brainless, maybe just keep your mouth shut. Apparently, pointing out stupidity is a punishable offense around here.

I mean, are we talking about hands covered in dough while you're shaping the food?

quieteagle5 said:The reason this topic was moved over to the politics section on Reddit is because we need to clarify how the series was actually made. It was filmed in the late 70s, and honestly, it was shot with a surprising amount of freedom. There wasn't nearly as much censorship as those folks who rebranded themselves from old-school communists to modern Democrats after the 90s like to claim.

I’ve been trying to point out that both the book and the show were remarkably uncensored, which was pretty wild for an era that today's more hardline conservatives love to describe as "unbearable communist oppression."

If you want to dive into the controversial parts of American history, we have a dedicated thread for that here: Controversies in American History - The Political Side

Time for a little bit of political drama:

silentridge3 said:What’s your take: how do you think all those American fathers feel when they’re basically erased from their kids' lives because of how the system works for women? We're talking about things like the ease of getting a divorce, lawyers coaching wives, the total freedom to make false accusations, "fast-track laws" that land guys in jail immediately, and social workers or judges who just don't give a damn about the truth while slapping "horrible father" labels on men during child support hearings?

There are actually specific sub-forums for topics like that.

They aren't called Gynecocracy.

🍿
this is such an interesting political debate

it’s a shame it ended up in the wrong subforum though😢

Now we just need to figure out where to draw the line between someone's opinion and an actual fact.

Your take on this is already being debated over in the thread, so there's really no need to keep posting the same thing over and over again.

If you want to talk about moderation, head over to the County Prefect's thread, and if you're looking to dive into Politics, that's what the Politics subforum is there for.
It honestly feels like everything's getting a bit jumbled up in your head.

amberwalker4 said:Did I even address you directly?

Look, let me break this down for you.
What we're doing right here is participating in an internet forum.
The whole point of a space like this is that everyone has the right to ask questions and share their thoughts openly.

If you’re looking for a private conversation with someone specific, that’s what direct messages are for—not public posts. You can always hit up someone's inbox or find another way to reach them privately if you want to skip the public stage.

I’m really not looking to get into a whole political debate here on the County Forum

Larry Walker24 said:For crying out loud...🙄🙄🙄

I don't see any actual substance here at all (basically just pure spam)

Look, I’m not worried about the Democratic Party, seriously—go take a closer look at the facts.

hollowtrucker77 said:yeah, sharp and smart
🙂
as well as all the implications those qualities carry for someone moderating one of the toughest sub-forums on this entire site—all of which I laid out pretty clearly in my previous post and through your own questions here.

😵
I honestly have no idea what you mean; could you try being a bit more specific?

But there is one thing I just cannot wrap my head around. Seriously, I can't.
Could you really not state your opinion without dragging my name into it?
For real?

🤦 our views on this discussion actually lined up quite a bit 🙂

The other thing I don't get is why this kind of behavior is even allowed, but that’s not really a question for you.

hollowtrucker77 said:I'm pretty sure someone with that kind of intellectual caliber isn't going to be the one explaining it to me.

That right there is the absolute crux of your whole argument.
Honestly, if I didn't already know that "caliber" was just a fancy way of saying someone is sharp and witty, I’d probably be sitting here wondering what specific measurement you were talking about!

But let's get back to the meat of it—what’s your actual take on this?
In your opinion, where should we draw the line between debating whether different laws actually work together smoothly and when we should be focusing strictly on proposing actual changes to the Law itself?
