Moderator Guidelines

I just reported a user who claimed America should have sent tanks into Herzegovina back in 2001 to "wipe everything out." Since my report was flagged as hate speech—resulting in nothing more than his post being deleted without even a ban—I want to know what the actual criteria are here.

If I had written that America should send tanks toward Boston to wipe everything out, would I be getting a red card for hate speech?

Or let's push it further: if I wrote that America needs to acquire nuclear weapons and use them against Mexico, for example, how many points exactly would I lose for that?

I’m looking for straight answers, no stalling. I'm not an idiot, and I don't need any nursery tales like "you can't compare one killer to another because the other killers were on the right side of history." Save those excuses for your own conscience.

You guys are all talk. It’s easy to sit there and judge when you aren't the ones actually doing the work. It isn't easy to face something that's supposed to be your daily grind.

Man, you seriously need a moderator on threads like this! 🤦
I’ve got nothing but respect for the crew handling this mess. Honestly, they should get veteran benefits or something for dealing with this. 🙏

Since this whole thread was supposed to be direct responses from the moderators regarding the packaging criteria, I’m genuinely curious how many points this completely irrelevant post above is actually going to score. There is already a dedicated thread for showing off to the mods, and this isn't it.

Just trying to figure out how I'm supposed to behave on this forum, you know?👍

This thread has been moderated.

Thanks, Charles Fox10. I took a look, and it turns out that user was banned, which actually answers my initial questions perfectly.

You submitted a report today and then immediately opened a thread instead of waiting the usual 24 hours. Let's stick to the protocol next time.

Lock this.
