Which mod is out here nuking posts on the WTO topic?
I’m betting it’s Sam Green73.
Seriously though, why are posts getting wiped when they actually add value—like my case where I was just telling some guy to actually read the thread before talking?

Just so we’re on the same page, off-topic chatter and casual watercooler talk usually get cleared out from the forum.

Look, I don't typically go around archiving every single little off-topic thread before they get wiped, but if you're really going to insist on sending me a DM for every one of your posts, I might be willing to work with you on that.

It seems like you aren't too fond of reading through the fine print, so let me save you some time and point you in the right direction.
Once you hit the 100, 200, 300, or 400 point mark, you'll face a three-day suspension. If you hit 500, 600, 700, 800, or 900 points, that jumps to a seven-day suspension, and once you cross that 1,000-point threshold, it's a permanent ban.

There is a natural science topic Soap and PIPA where people are discussing the WTO as well.
Give it a shot over there; you might get lucky and avoid a ban, or perhaps you won't... 😳😲

What small talk? All I see is this one troll who pops into the thread every few days with basically the same post, and when you finally call him out, he doesn't even bother arguing by the "forum rules"—he just vanishes. You don't warn him or flag him, yet here you are threatening me with bans, even though I'm the one who actually started this whole thread in the first place.
You already told me in the complaints section to either resign or let me handle the moderation for just one day, and then you'll see how it's actually done. But until then...
Best,

Why are you censoring the resonator thread?

From what I can tell, there isn't any censorship happening here. People are talking freely; it’s just that a few individual posts get taken down. For instance, yours was removed because you were asking who specifically voted for the AFL-CIO. Honestly, those names don't really matter for this discussion. Posts like that—and things similar to them—get pulled because they don't add anything to the conversation. Other debates and exchanges of ideas are definitely allowed and clearly ongoing, as far as I can see.

So why'd you go ahead and delete my thread where I was just sharing avatars with the guys, and now I'm getting slapped with a 30-point penalty too??

It’s because that thread goes against our politics subforum rules since there isn't any actual discussion happening. If you really want to swap avatars, we have the various subforum which is a much better spot for that kind of stuff.

Because there's already a thread for that, and you know it. We don't allow new threads just to share avatars. Threads in the politics section need to have a real purpose. You can post this in "various" instead, since I don't see why sharing avatars deserves its own spot in politics.
