Zone1 Question for Mods

[Weatherman2020]

I would interpret it as you would need at least 3 components/elements of an op.

So some of the article posted, a link to the article, your input and thoughts to that topic/article, and a conclusion for then others to discuss. And each bit not just a few words.

And applied equally to all.

 

[candycorn]

i like abusing mentally disabled people. Weakness.

Self abuse is your game?

 

[candycorn]

Actually, as I was thinking about it, the 3 sentence rule is ridiculous.

I could post numerous threads that start with 1 or 2 sentences that would be good threads.


Examples:

"Who here grows tomatoes? What varieties do you prefer?"

"Why would Trump take classified documents when he left office? Unless it was for nefarious purposes."

"I just watched the A Day game. Alabama is looking good enough to win it all this year."

"What religion does everyone practice or believe in? I am just curious."

"Why are people so upset about same sex marriage? It does not effect your marriage at all."

I think all threads should start with Haiku. That would eliminate 100% of right wing posts. LOL.

Feb 8, 2013

then why for yrs its only been personal content?? I have seen dozens if not more closed for that reason and the one in question being the first time ever seeing the 3 sentence rule??

 

[WinterBorn]

Ban him!!! Ban him.

It wouldn't be the first time.

 

[BackAgain]

It wouldn't be the first time.

I am crushed that my prior post consisted of only 2 sentences and yet didn’t get flagged.

My hopes for this place are being slowly crushed.

Crush could be the word of the day.

 

[Captain Caveman]

Subjective reasons.

 

[progressive hunter]

Subjective reasons.

I recall when I first had a thread closed for no personal content and went and read the rule it didnt say 3 sentences, and thats not even getting into the dozens of threads I have seen closed for personal content that never said a word about 3 sentences,,

I have been lied to several times by mods so I dont believe that rule has existed since 2013,,

the moderation on this forum is consistently inconsistent,,

as an example I was told that I couldnt say someone is a pedophile supporter but could say they supported pedophiles,,

does that make sense??

all I ask is for consistency and equal application of the rules,,

 

[Cellblock2429]

Just consider yourself luck it just requires 'three sentence's and not 'three intelligent and coherent sentences'.
Always look on the bright side, words to live by.

/----/ Be nice.

I've found it consistent.

 

[progressive hunter]

I've found it consistent.

I havent,,

whats consistent about not being able to say someone is a pedophile supporter but its OK to say they support pedophiles??

my last ban was for telling someone that they should put the gun in their mouth when they were talking about shooting a gun right after they told me to go kill myself??

I got banned for being aggressive but they got a free pass,, thats the opposite of consistent,,

 

[Ropey]

Can mods ban each other?

Pix banned elvis twice.

The third time around, he changed his nick and socked in. . .

Good times, good times.

Isn't it a good thing that isn't a rule?
Live on the bright side my friend.

When it comes to life in general it's important to be nice, but in the political world nice guys finish last. Thank God Trump knows that and is not a nice guy when it comes to dealing with the left.
