It really is truly like the Mafia. When the mob owned a politician, they didn't kill him if he crossed them, they would bust up somebody close to him to send a message. The dem machine put in a lot of money and effort to get that person in office to do their bidding. Getting them indicted doesn't serve their purposes at all. But getting somebody close to them indicted sends a message to keep them on the reservation and doing what they want them to do.

When this thread notifies your watchlist of activity, and you take a look and don't see any recent activity, something has likely been deleted.

We've been over this. Your "pretending to be dumb" schtick isn't working tonight, mmkay Chach?

Without questioning moderation, it would be nice to hear why this keeps happening. I mean, a codebase that can't deal with special characters and routinely gets effed in the a by spammers either has a phantom notification problem or things actually are getting deleted.

So in case anyone needs help, I think this is relevant:

[If you have a question about moderation send us an email. -Staff]

Just posting this because, c'mon guys, it is procedurally the right thing to do for anonymous moderation. Right?

There's a word for that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning
Quote:
Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity ("I'm just trying to have a debate"), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.

I wasn't being obtuse. By the time I got back around to this thread, there were actual posts, so I did not see the phantom notification. Just wondering if you knew because you had seen the post before it was gone, or if it was one of yours.

Pretty sure it was another phantom moderation move. There have been a few over the last 1-2 weeks.

She's scared. Looming indictment. Literal dead heat with her opponent in her re-election bid (we all know she's really behind). She knows her time is almost up.

Then why do the cops hate you? Oh right, because you're a worthless idiot that thinks cop funerals are photo ops.

Going to post this everytime this desperate gaslighter pops up in the news.



[Please find a smaller version of the pic. We will give you some time. Thank you. -Staff]

Edit- staff: done. Uploaded a smaller file size.

Every time I open this thread there's some kind of staff activity. This time a ban handed out because they didn't like the size of the Lina pic. I don't think I've seen such an obsession with a thread on the Houston forum before. Maybe Lina herself is a mod.

And this is a post of someone looking to be upset. In any thread, on any forum, staff will simply take down pictures that large. They were trying to be more sensitive to the complaints of moderation here so didn't, instead they posted to find a smaller version.

I guess I'll do a condescending laugh cry emoji back at you since you want to be the mod's knight in shining armor. It was nice of you to say all the things you did for them. I'm sure they appreciate it. However, you failed to address why they banned them.

Did they catch a ban or was staff just saying they had some time to upload a smaller pic before the pic would be deleted?

Laugh cry emoji added because that's what we do here

Except that when my watchlist gets bumped because someone whined about moderation, I can see the whining post.

Not so with the TexAgs Dementors swooping in and sucking the life out of the thread. Those bumps lead me back to posts I have already seen.

Why do you think they banned them? I took the comment as find a smaller picture and replace it before we delete it.

If they would have just deleted the picture we'd have 30 posts about how Lina was offended an unattractive picture was posted and her staffer, I mean Texags staff, deleted it

If they banned them I'll join your *****ing. But at this point I think you're just assuming that without any backup info

I mean...my posting history shows clearly that I am no fan of the moderation policy on this site (been banned a number of times), but your original post was just looking for something to complain about. I thought in this particular case, staff did a nice job of explaining. Give credit where it is due.

I made the file size smaller on the Lina pic, and it was a fair request. When taking screenshots from phones, the resolution is stupid big. It was like a 6mb photo in PNG format.

As a serial moderation complainer, I have actually been impressed with the way moderation has been going on this board since the board revolted earlier this year. I wish the entire site was conducted this way. I still wish moderation was wholly transparent, but that seems like an unwinnable fight.

How about this emoji? Will that work?

[No and since you found one as big as possible in order to fill up the page and be difficult we removed yours but we will leave your post up so you everyone knows why it was edited. -Staff]
