Moderation Announcement -- August 15 -- 3 Strikes.

[flacaltenn]

Be sure you read the top thread in the sticky section of this Forum.

New 3 Strikes Rule in the I/P Forum..

It's announcing the revival of the 3 Strikes Rule for the Israel/Palestine forum. I'll leave this thread open for quick questions and comments. Don't abuse it please.

And I'll bump it often before Aug 15th..

Three strikes in a row in bowling is called a turkey.

There are many such who infest this particular section with their Jew hatred.

 

[BlackFlag]

That rule should be invoked in real life on Israel and Palestine

Is that anything like their Jew humor?

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Actually, I do have a serious question. Will these determinations be made by moderators who are fairly neutral on the subject, or will there be a continuation of the current status quo of decisions being made by those with the most burning interest in the outcome of the conflict?

If that's what you like -- maybe we can start a SUB-forum somewhere for you..

Turkey would be an appropriate symbol for anyone not getting the simple rules after 20 or 30 warnings and 2 Strikes and decides it's worth it to take another swing.

I'd say if you have 2 Strikes -- you should probably ban yourself from I/P at that point, until the Revelation comes.

Which means you cannot question Israel, we're even going to attempt to make it a law, fweedumb.

• Israeli arms sales to Europe grew from $724M in 2014 to $1.63B in 2015
• Although the size of New Jersey Israel is one of the top 10 arms dealing nations in the world
• Israel produces 60% of all drones worldwide and sells to over 50 countries, at times selling to both sides of a given conflict, and Israel fueled the drones arms race between India and Pakistan

Palestine is an open air weapons testing and crowd control laboratory with Palestinians being used in the development phase; Gaza is a lab of mass destruction. US super bunker busters were supplied to the Israelis in 2014 and investors stock shot up; war is just business after all.

The “War in Terror” has been a boon to the industry, you’ve seen what amounts to advertisement in every “news” outlet, we are being whipped up into a frenzy once again. The industry also pioneers crowd control research on the Palestinians, and Israel is involved in the training of American forces and law enforcement. We see this in the militarization of our own police departments, Ferguson was but one example of how our system is prepping to Palestinianize our own population, and in fact Ferguson now has Israeli developed/sold skunk spray post the Ferguson events, although no incidents have yet been reported of use on American streets. It’s pretty clear that the Israeli occupation style power structure is moving toward the same in America; a warehousing of the poor in a post industrial age with diminishing living wage jobs and privatized for profit prisons complete with a return to convict leasing.

Much of the security monitoring and mass surveillance technologies are also produced in Israel and sold across the globe. “Targeted assassination” was invented in Israel, which Obama was quite fond of. Abu Ghraib torture methods? Israel.

The US and Israel are not allies. The US and Israeli arms dealers are allies, and war is the business they are both in. We are all collateral damage.

This is a very good question.

It's really which mod picks up the report or stumbles on it. You know the 2 mods that post here. And that's not very often. But I've checked a lot of warnings and almost EVERY mod is equally represented on I/P warnings. For BOTH sides BTW...

It's really some pretty damn simple things we're asking for. It's respecting the topic. And being considerate of others in making noise and derailments. And MOSTLY NOT making the convo about each other (or the mods).

What about spontaneous outbursts about the Palestinians or Jews deserving to be genocided, coming from a person who claims to be on the side of the "good guys?"

 

[ChrisL]

Well, we all know there is at least ONE mod (not to mention any names) who is very biased when it comes to anything related to Muslims.

Good flippin' grief

Stop acting like a tool, will ya? Your "act" is very transparent. Lol.

I DO know the two mods who post here, and you are absolutely incorrect as far as their relative frequency.

Thus my question. If you want this to be a NEUTRAL forum, then you need to elicit the opinions of neutral people.

It's the proverbial 10000 pound elephant sitting in the room, and only obvious to those who are actually in it.

That's pretty heinous. Happens everyday in this forum when folks suggest that's exactly "what the other side" is doing. I think if got really really graphic and specific on HOW that should happen -- that would be a violation.

But we're not censoring content short of specific threats to individuals or groups. What we're hoping for is more problem solving and a more accurate depiction of daily life in the Holy Land. It's not all conflict -- all the time. Life goes on there. And for the most part -- life is BETTER in the Holy Land for Jews and Palestinians than it is ANYWHERE else in the Middle East. If you read this forum regularly, you'd never know that.

Your elephant and I agree on most every infraction ever written in this forum. We actually argue about a couple, but there's nowhere near the Mod discretion or Mod privacy to go full blown Rogue and radical.

We agree its time to hose this out, improve the lighting, make this a more enticing place.

CNelson is a sub?


I did not know that.
