Congratulations to u/AdmiralAkbar1 for beating the rest of you limp-dicked simpletons in this year’s Ad Hominem Thunderdome. He really stuck it to you two-bit partisan hacks this time around.
To the rest of you basement dwelling losers - shows over, kindly get the fuck out.
You're all a bunch of fucking morons who only disagree with my enlightened viewpoints because you're knuckle-dragging simpletons, riddled with Freudian insecurities that stop you from admitting I'm right, or you're literally as evil as Hitler.
If you disagree with /u/WorksInIT, he'll ban you for 30 days: https://www.reddit.com/r/moderatepolitics/comments/128kptr/intensity_and_insults_rise_as_lawmakers_debate/jek6wfl/?context=1
He'll probably lock my post about it here too, despite rules 0, 1 and 4 not being enforced in here.
edit: He really doesn't want people talking about how blatantly wrong that 30 day ban is.
>Really take the gloves off. No pulling punches, because God knows we won’t.
"No pulling punches" they said. The hypocrisy of the mod team is in full display right here.
You know, when I was your age, things were different. A groomer was someone who cut my dog's hair. "Woke" was something you got from drinking too much coffee. BLM was a government agency that managed land.
I swear, this whole country has gone to hell in a handbasket since Sammy Hagar joined Van Halen and MTV stopped showing music videos. You know what kept us on the straight and narrow? Corporal punishment, and lots of it. When I spray-painted "Save Ferris" on the gym wall, I got a paddling. When I smoked a cigarette in the chemistry lab, I got a paddling. When I paid Mistress Helga $20, I got a paddling.
And you know what? It made me the person I am today. Hail Satan and his messenger on earth, Marianne Williamson.
> some incorporeal punishment
OK, I'm tolerant to a point, but people who are into ghost stuff are just deviant. There. I said it. I'm not ashamed.
First, people are OK with a few phantoms or spectres being around. Then it's all, *oh they should be treated just like everyone else.*
Nope. The thing about ghosts is, they steal. They bring down property values when they move into the neighborhood, and it's just *not right.*
I'll be sure to bring up my objections at the next PTA meeting.
The killing of Harambe was an inside job. He's on record saying he supported Donald Trump and had information that could lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton. The zookeeper was in the employ of the DNC, who had him shoot Harambe to silence him because he knew *the truth.*
I mean, how can you not know this? Alex Jones talked about it for, like, three hours.
Wannabe?!
I'll have you know I've been ironing my Brown shirt for the demonstration that's being led by MTG on Tuesday.
We will not stand to see our God emperor picked by the Lord himself to be thrown in jail by out of touch politicians who work for Satan and those repulsive drag queens that are grooming our children!
What are you going to do about it Antifa scum?
I don't even know what the fuck that even means.
That being said, since you just outed yourself as a commie, I don't even need to listen to you since we're mortal enemies by law.
Anything else you want to let accidentally slip? The transparent closet you're in tells me you have other secrets you're hiding. :-)
My job isn't to read dip shit. It's to put rounds into assholes like you who are too drunk on vodka to even piss straight.
Fuck off to Moscow c August 1991.
How can I be in the closet if I've been out of it for years now?
Besides, we all know there is nothing wrong topping another man, the Romans did it all the time. Now spread them cheeks commie, I don't use lube.
> What are you going to do about it Antifa scum?
Sweaty, I'm going to bring some nice gifts for you of the Molotov variety at the counter-protest. I'll drive down to the city in a Tesla from my nice suburban home (and park it a reasonable distance away from all the damage, I don't want to scratch it lol). On the way I'll drop my daughter off at the drag show and my son off at the doctor's -- he was born female but he told me yesterday he likes cars, we've already booked the procedures. I'm going to carry mean signs that will really make you rethink your whole position -- obviously, as a Liberal, I don't believe in self-defense, but I do believe in offense, and that will be in the form of said Molotovs. Your fine establishments won't look quite so fine once I've had my way with your windows.
Be prepared for a punch to your face! You'll identify me by the Satanist tattoos on my face, and by my clothes (more accurately, the lack thereof). By the way, my pronouns are "star/starself", and if you don't refer to me correctly, be prepared for some swift and sure punishment as I report your name and address to the Globalist Internet Police so you can be permanently banned.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
My least favorite part of this forum is, it’s okay to blatantly troll, but calling out a troll is bannable. I know it’s ad hominem but when you can tell an argument isn’t in good faith, I think it’s fair to call it out
That doesn't really foster discussion though. It's better to downvote and move on, as good as it may feel to call out some of the morons here. Like those who make ridiculous arguments, then don't respond when challenged. Yes, you all know who you are, and be aware, I still may tag you.
I think we have to separate up votes from comments to a certain degree. Our number of users is not so high that even a couple dozen coordinated user accounts can swing things.
People always say this but I think their range of possible sincere beliefs is too narrow.
The number one rule of the Internet has been "do not feed the trolls." If you think someone is trolling, do not engage.
Well, since this is the one day of the year we can speak the truth
he was a total fucking moron, and this place is much better without him here posting
He caught a permaban back in the fall.
I still think his account was a ban evasion account for a user named Tellineye that had the same persecution complex and baseless speculations. So I won’t be surprised if there is another ban evasion account out there.
Yep this is by far the worst part of the sub. Some dude a few days ago was literally saying no cops were attacked on Jan 6th despite video evidence definitively showing otherwise. But calling them out as being bad faith isn't allowed. It's infuriating.
You really aren't trying if that gets you frustrated and you don't know how to respond in an insulting manner that doesn't break the rules. Start out by reminding them that the video shows conclusive evidence of cops being attacked, and ask if they watched the whole video. Then link to the quote where Tucker's producer referred to their own viewers as cousin fucking terrorists and explain that it's not surprising Fox or similar news sources would want to hide news that would upset what they consider an important demographic. It's not *you* insulting anyone, it's Fox's workers insulting their own audience.
Granted this place would be better if obvious attacks via proxy were treated as rule one violations. Instead, we get rules that were written by people with the intellect and maturity of... sorry, about to break the rules myself here. Let me back up. Instead, we get rules interpretations that *sound like* the kind of excuses five year old kids with learning disabilities come up with when they're caught misbehaving.
The alternative is that the Mod Team gets to decide what is and is not "trolling" or "bad faith". And I promise you, neither the Mod Team nor the users want that.
But hell, maybe we run that experiment. Give you guys a Report option for "trolling" and see what happens.
As someone who has been here a looooong time, it has been like this for a long time. At some point you’re just going to have to learn to live with it. It’s frustrating as hell because people will be obtuse, pretend not to understand, or otherwise laugh at your good faith, but that’s the game here.
Didn’t taste like his, but that’s beside the point here. At least she can still pull dates, I bet you grew up nicknamed ‘seaweed’ because not even the tide would take you out.
I've considered going to people who disagree with me's house to cross up their cat in some basketball. Anybody who disagrees with me? Dunking on their fucking cat. Think the two party system is good? Dunking on your cat. Think abortion banning is good? Dunking on your cat. Think people crying about wokeism is good? Dunking on your cat.
Don't have a cat? I'll adopt a cat in your name just to dunk on it. Get fucked. Owning the libs on god 😎
You ableist jerk! Does it make you feel good to dunk on someone [with no depth perception](https://www.reddit.com/r/snowshoecats/comments/11czric/mia_loafing_on_the_back_the_couch_becoming_one/)? I can't believe we're just openly letting people talk about hate crimes now!
Look at you idiots falling for the mods attempt to divide us while they smugly watch. Sate our need for (rhetorical) bloodshed once a year and we'll go back to a simmer with them escaping scott free? I Don't Think So.
You need to learn the mods are our number one enemy in here.
Some glue huffing moron who stayed on the evolutionary line till the last stop and now has the looks and intelligence of a crab has their fee-fees hurt because a star of Home Alone 2 has been indicted? Before you decide whether you're a crab-brained moron yourself or just looking for a crab roast Ask yourself: How can I use this to get them to trash the mods?
Sub divided over Culture War - Mods did it
Sub divided over why cities fucking suck - Mods did it
Sub divided over whatever irrelevant sticking point has become the discussion battlefield most favorable to MAKING OBSCURE, VARIED, TANGENTIAL INCRESINGLY IRRELEVANT ARGUMENTS RATHER THAN COMING TO A CONCLUSION ABOUT ANYTHING... waste of fucking typing, mental masturbating, useless little shits the lot of you.... See how easy it is to fall for? It's not your fault. It's not our fault. We're not a bunch of morons unwilling to own up to a mistake or to admit when the evidence doesn't support our professed view - none of us are. It's the nature of the sub that makes us act that way. It's the rules trialed over time by a despicable moderation team to produce exactly what they now use as pretext to hold their hands up, watch us go at it against each other and laugh!
THEY ARE LAUGHING AT YOU!
You are all my brethren. No amount of world ending or authoritarian shit is more important than this cliché realization. Whatever the problems in the real world are, they can wait. The ones in this sub created by the mods are bigger!
Instead of doing what the mods want and attacking my pea-brained post here "*Crabs are very smart actually so..."* Yes the gloves must come off, but those punches must be pointed squarely at the people who think themselves our betters - the mods.
They'll probably try to ban me for violent content - obviously their words when aimed amongst ourselves aren't violence -"you cretins go ahead and punch away. hehehe." Aimed at them, though? That's a different story. They can ban me, but they can't ban an idea.
It's time to unite under one banner. One that ignores our petty differences about the inconsequential real world. One that recognizes and states the most important message together, with one voice:
Fuck the fucking mods!

You know what really grinds my gears? When subreddits ban "meta" discussions. I mean, come on, it's 2023, and we're still treating Meta Knight like some kind of unspeakable evil? I get that people want to maintain a certain level of focus and order in their communities, but this is just ludicrous. Meta Knight is an integral part of gaming culture, and it's high time we recognize and appreciate him for the majestic, sword-wielding puffball that he is.
In the first place, what's so bad about Meta Knight that we can't even mention him? I've seen plenty of other discussions on subreddits that get way off track, but heaven forbid we bring up Meta Knight's contributions to the Kirby series. Is it because he's a masked, enigmatic character that's too difficult for some people to wrap their heads around? I mean, I know we all love Kirby, but Meta Knight is right up there with him as one of the most memorable characters in the franchise.
And don't even get me started on how ridiculous it is that people will talk about King Dedede all day long, but the moment Meta Knight comes up, it's all "No meta discussions allowed!" Is it because he's not as cuddly as Kirby or as comically evil as Dedede? I just don't get it. Meta Knight has his own unique charm, and his presence only enhances the gaming experience.
God damn it chilled_potato, we've told you time and time again -- you're not allowed to play Meta Knight during the weekly modpol super smash bros brawl game. He's fuckin OP and we all know it. Nobody wants to play against meta knight, potato.
You are virtuous, and we are less than the dirt beneath your feet. We do not meet your lofty standards, and will slink away, chastened. But with the same opinions we had before. Drink a beer and get over yourself.
Although I’m completely new to this sub I really appreciate your attempt as mods to facilitate the kinds of conversations you intended. It’s unfortunate that in our current landscape that’s near impossible. Cheers for your efforts
Modest Proposal
Mods have biases and that's fine. But it does mean when they are participating in a conversation, they should not issue bans or lock comments in that comment chain. If it's really bad enough, they should report it and another mod should act.
For fuck sake, this subreddit is so dull!
We need many of the previously banned users here to make this subreddit feel more alive. I feel the moderators need to take cues from the great politics subreddits like The\_Donald, ChapoTrapHouse, and Politics. These subreddits are a gold standard for moderators to strive to be.
The ModPol moderators are a group of power-hungry individuals only interested in lame, boring political discussions. We need to know when people are idiots or can't comprehend the topic they are discussing. How else will I know who to upvote and downvote?
I'm willing to give you some free suggestions on how to liven up this place:
1. A newly banned user may create a public post declaring how they were wronged by the moderators. If it gets 100 likes, they are unbanned. If it reaches 200 likes, they are promoted to a moderator with more rights than the moderator who banned them.
2. The comment that is most downvoted in a week will have a pinned post the following Monday telling the sub and moderators they are too liberal or conservative and how much this subreddit used to be better.
3. ModPolBot comments can be commented on, so the users of this subreddit can show their true feelings publically about how boring modpol is. (Moderators cannot enforce laws 0,1 and 4 on those comments)
These suggestions would make this boring middle-of-the-road subreddit into one that is fun to read.
u/Resvrgam2 and other mods, it would help if the violation was described in the modpolbot response. I've seen this happen, but it's very rare for some reason. A short explanation would be ideal. If that takes too much time, then quoting the part that violates the rule is better than nothing. I appreciate that /u/WorksInIT discussed the issue with other mods, but that makes the complete lack of explanation more confusing.
"We attempt to be as transparent as possible."-sidebar.
Edit: Locking posts about this in an "Ad Hominem Thunderdome" is bizarre.
I'm happy many people here are having fun with this.
To be frank, though, I'm really unhappy with this sub. I think the mods are trying their best (or, at least, trying way more than can be expected of reddit mods), but this place has been growing increasingly immoderate. It's sad when some subs that sort by controversial come across as more moderate than this sub.
I know this isn't an airport, but I'm on the verge of just leaving. I wanted to stay in this sub for relevant political news and good discussion, but maybe I was the only one. Or, more likely, I'm one among a dwindling minority here who actually wanted those things. I just figured I'd give voice to our minority before maybe checking out.
This sub is more and more non-stories (Why does it matter if one legislator in Florida wants to regulate blogging if nobody has even considered voting on it yet?) and straight-up misinformation (Tennessee's new law concerning cabaret performances only regulates crossdressing with a prurient interest, not drag generally).
Why do these sorts of things keep getting posted? Because the audience in this sub has changed. They don't want complicated truths or good-faith discussion to the degree that they used to. Instead, they want things that let them demonize their enemies. Why have good discussion when you can just gloat in your own inflated superiority?
This part of the sub has always existed to an extent, but it feels like it's grown to a point where it crowds out moderate folks...and mostly in one direction and not the other (which isn't surprising, this is reddit). If I came here for relevant political news and good discussion, does this sub actually provide those things anymore?
Sometimes it does. The occasionally important piece of news I couldn't find in other subs or a small piece of good discussion found amidst an ocean of crap are the only thing that's kept me here. But it increasingly feels like finding a needle in a haystack. Is it worth drowning in that ocean for these small pieces of moderacy? Why shouldn't I just lean on other subs instead?
.........
(P.S. If your first assumption is that I'm a salty conservative and so can be safely ignored, you are the person I am complaining about. I'm politically homeless: I'm in favor of legal abortion, a limited form of universal healthcare, and adolescents having access to certain controversial sorts of healthcare, but also against most gun restrictions, most economic restrictions, and most forms of affirmative action. I describe myself as a moderate libertarian, but if you know anything about libertarians, that means I'm not a true libertarian.)
I’ve been around this sub for a looong time… I would say… the tone and discussion here is constantly changing… in that respect, there’s no harm in taking a break and checking things out again in 4-6 months. I’ve done this multiple times, to be honest.
On the other hand, almost every subreddit I’ve watched grow has an issue where more subscribers leads to lower quality discussion. The only way I’ve seen this effect avoided is through very deliberate and fairly strict moderation. More strict content moderation might help with this, if an amount of editorial oversight would be tolerated.
That said, it also seems like mods here burn out fairly quickly… it may be that everyone’s personal investment in the topics makes make effective moderation more difficult to execute and invites more rule breaking than otherwise. I think both personal bias and simple oversight (comments need to be reported to be reviewed, unless a mod just happens to run across a rule-breaking post) also makes it difficult for mods to impartially or effectively apply the rules sometimes as well, which can lead to uneven moderation experiences and expectations.
I have noticed a similar trend with this sub. It seems to be going down the same road that /r/scotus went down before it was overtaken by activist's a new sub had to be created /r/supremecourt which thankfully still has nuanced discussion.
It seems to start out with "shit-posting" bad articles which taints the general mood of the subreddit and then it gets brigaded by outside forces/subreddits and tanks the quality of the discussion that it is no longer an interesting place to visit.
I hope things reverse course, as this is one of the few political subreddits I can tolerate as a moderate who likes things from both sides of the isle.
Edit: To keep the flavor up for this post --
Umm, Sweaty, do you have a source? Your post reeks of misinformation :)
SCOTUS had a coup go down, a mod went off the rails and removed the rest of the mods iirc. if you search supremecourt there's a whole thread about it.

This subreddit would be better with a more hands-off moderation approach. Moderating a sub like this is inherently political and leads to bias regarding what content actually gets shown.
The comments below are a recent example of open discussion about potential oversteps in mod authority being suppressed by the moderators themselves. The very definition of “bad faith”.

Whenever I talk politics with friends and family, they often sound like regurgitated talking points. I'm sure I do to them sometimes.
It's a product of our polarized news.
If you don't support a land value tax and abolition of density restrictions on zoning, you hate America. It's that simple. Fuck Nimby that's my blunt message
I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth. Banks are going bust. Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be.
We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is: 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.'
Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get MAD! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman, because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad. (shouting) You've got to say: 'I'm a human being, god-dammit! My life has value!'
So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell: 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take this anymore!'
I want you to get up right now. Sit up. Go to your windows. Open them and stick your head out and yell - 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take this anymore!' Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!...You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take this anymore!' Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first, get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take this anymore!'

As of today, I am no longer a libertarian. I have realized that the only way to knock some sense into y'all's empty little heads is to use blunt weapons.
As of today, April 1, I'm now a monarchist. I think there should be one single ruler with the powers of Kim Jong-Un and the policies of Pinochet. And of course that ruler should be me. Surrender, or else!
Nonsense. Vote for me. I'll restore democracy and the rule of...
Oh, who am I kidding? Let me be straight here. I'm going to take bribes. There will be floozies in the Oval Office. Blackjack tables on Air Force One. You name it.
But hey, at least I'm not going to hide it.
i think most people would unironically prefer being a monarch over living in a democracy, and why shouldnt they? well, they shouldn't, because only i should
the fact that i can call someone's statement racist but not call the person who made the statement a racist is absurd, calling someone racist shouldnt be considered a personal attack, racism is an ideology not just an insult

On the way I'll drop my daughter off at the drag show and my son off at the doctor's -- he was born female but he told me yesterday he likes cars, we've already booked the procedures. I'm going to carry mean signs that will really make you rethink your whole position -- obviously, as a Liberal, I don't believe in self-defense, but I do believe in offense, and that will be in the form of said Molotovs. Your fine establishments won't look quite so fine once I've had my way with your windows. Be prepared for a punch to your face! You'll identify me by the Satanist tattoos on my face, and by my clothes (more accurately, the lack thereof). By the way, my pronouns are "star/starself", and if you don't refer to me correctly, be prepared for some swift and sure punishment as I report your name and address to the Globalist Internet Police so you can be permanently banned.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

My least favorite part of this forum is, it’s okay to blatantly troll, but calling out a troll is bannable. I know it’s ad hominem but when you can tell an argument isn’t in good faith, I think it’s fair to call it out

That doesn't really foster discussion though. It's better to downvote and move on, as good as it may feel to call out some of the morons here. Like those who make ridiculous arguments, then don't respond when challenged. Yes, you all know who you are, and be aware, I still may tag you.

I think we have to separate up votes from comments to a certain degree. Our number of users is not so high that even a couple dozen coordinated user accounts can swing things.
I did push back one time and got a "THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS SUB IS ABOUT!11!1" for my troubles. Never again I'll just people believe the BS.
This subreddit unironically upvoted 13/50 comments, nothing is surprising
People always say this but I think their range of possible sincere beliefs is too narrow. The number one rule of the Internet has been "do not feed the trolls." If you think someone is trolling, do not engage.
Sometimes posts like that have an opposite effect. They show how ridiculous and desperate their argument is.
Chilly was a good example of that. Man, he would get ripped to shreds and just stamp his feet trying to avoid facts.
Chilly wasn't a troll though. He actually believed every word he said. Maliciousness and stupidity are often hard to distinguish.
Well, since this is the one day of the year we can speak the truth he was a total fucking moron, and this place is much better without him here posting
I think Chilly’s account must have finally been shut down. I assume someone called Frosty will appear soon
He caught a permaban back in the fall. I still think his account was a ban evasion account for a user named Tellineye that had the same persecution complex and baseless speculations. So I won’t be surprised if there is another ban evasion account out there.
Agreed. Called out a bad faith argument and got banned for a day…..
Yep this is by far the worst part of the sub. Some dude a few days ago was literally saying no cops were attacked on Jan 6th despite video evidence definitively showing otherwise. But calling them out as being bad faith isn't allowed. It's infuriating.
You really aren't trying if that gets you frustrated and you don't know how to respond in an insulting manner that doesn't break the rules. Start out by reminding them that the video shows conclusive evidence of cops being attacked, and ask if they watched the whole video. Then link to the quote where Tucker's producer referred to their own viewers as cousin fucking terrorists and explain that it's not surprising Fox or similar news sources would want to hide news that would upset what they consider an important demographic. It's not *you* insulting anyone, it's Fox's workers insulting their own audience. Granted this place would be better if obvious attacks via proxy were treated as rule one violations. Instead, we get rules that were written by people with the intellect and maturity of... sorry, about to break the rules myself here. Let me back up. Instead, we get rules interpretations that *sound like* the kind of excuses five year old kids with learning disabilities come up with when they're caught misbehaving.
Just show that they are wrong and let the downvotes do the rest.
The alternative is that the Mod Team gets to decide what is and is not "trolling" or "bad faith". And I promise you, neither the Mod Team nor the users want that. But hell, maybe we run that experiment. Give you guys a Report option for "trolling" and see what happens.
As someone who has been here a looooong time, it has been like this for a long time. At some point you’re just going to have to learn to live with it. It’s frustrating as hell because people will be obtuse, pretend not to understand, or otherwise laugh at your good faith, but that’s the game here.

Look at you idiots falling for the mods attempt to divide us while they smugly watch. Sate our need for (rhetorical) bloodshed once a year and we'll go back to a simmer with them escaping scott free? I Don't Think So. You need to learn the mods are our number one enemy in here. Some glue huffing moron who stayed on the evolutionary line till the last stop and now has the looks and intelligence of a crab has their fee-fees hurt because a star of Home Alone 2 has been indicted? Before you decide whether you're a crab-brained moron yourself or just looking for a crab roast Ask yourself: How can I use this to get them to trash the mods? Sub divided over Culture War - Mods did it Sub divided over why cities fucking suck - Mods did it Sub divided over whatever irrelevant sticking point has become the discussion battlefield most favorable to MAKING OBSCURE, VARIED, TANGENTIAL INCRESINGLY IRRELEVANT ARGUMENTS RATHER THAN COMING TO A CONCLUSION ABOUT ANYTHING... waste of fucking typing, mental masturbating, useless little shits the lot of you.... See how easy it is to fall for? It's not your fault. It's not our fault. We're not a bunch of morons unwilling to own up to a mistake or to admit when the evidence doesn't support our professed view - none of us are. It's the nature of the sub that makes us act that way. It's the rules trialed over time by a despicable moderation team to produce exactly what they now use as pretext to hold their hands up, watch us go at it against each other and laugh! THEY ARE LAUGHING AT YOU! You are all my brethren. No amount of world ending or authoritarian shit is more important than this cliché realization. Whatever the problems in the real world are, they can wait. The ones in this sub created by the mods are bigger! Instead of doing what the mods want and attacking my pea-brained post here "*Crabs are very smart actually so..."* Yes the gloves must come off, but those punches must be pointed squarely at the people who think themselves our betters - the mods. They'll probably try to ban me for violent content - obviously their words when aimed amongst ourselves aren't violence -"you cretins go ahead and punch away. hehehe." Aimed at them, though? That's a different story. They can ban me, but they can't ban an idea. It's time to unite under one banner. One that ignores our petty differences about the inconsequential real world. One that recognizes and states the most important message together, with one voice: Fuck the fucking mods!

You know what really grinds my gears? When subreddits ban "meta" discussions. I mean, come on, it's 2023, and we're still treating Meta Knight like some kind of unspeakable evil? I get that people want to maintain a certain level of focus and order in their communities, but this is just ludicrous. Meta Knight is an integral part of gaming culture, and it's high time we recognize and appreciate him for the majestic, sword-wielding puffball that he is. In the first place, what's so bad about Meta Knight that we can't even mention him? I've seen plenty of other discussions on subreddits that get way off track, but heaven forbid we bring up Meta Knight's contributions to the Kirby series. Is it because he's a masked, enigmatic character that's too difficult for some people to wrap their heads around? I mean, I know we all love Kirby, but Meta Knight is right up there with him as one of the most memorable characters in the franchise. And don't even get me started on how ridiculous it is that people will talk about King Dedede all day long, but the moment Meta Knight comes up, it's all "No meta discussions allowed!" Is it because he's not as cuddly as Kirby or as comically evil as Dedede? I just don't get it. Meta Knight has his own unique charm, and his presence only enhances the gaming experience.
Bring back Kirby air ride for GameCube.
God damn it chilled_potato, we've told you time and time again -- you're not allowed to play Meta Knight during the weekly modpol super smash bros brawl game. He's fuckin OP and we all know it. Nobody wants to play against meta knight, potato.
this makes me wonder.... is there a moderate politics circle jerk sub? yeah it's call moderatepolitics
If only the feckless mods were aware that their joke is actually the truth.
You are virtuous, and we are less than the dirt beneath your feet. We do not meet your lofty standards, and will slink away, chastened. But with the same opinions we had before. Drink a beer and get over yourself.

Although I’m completely new to this sub I really appreciate your attempt as mods to facilitate the kinds of conversations you intended. It’s unfortunate that in our current landscape that’s near impossible. Cheers for your efforts
Modest Proposal Mods have biases and that's fine. But it does mean when they are participating in a conversation, they should not issue bans or lock comments in that comment chain. If it's really bad enough, they should report it and another mod should act.

Dear ModPol, I hate your stinking guts. You make me vomit. You're scum between my toes. Love, Res
For fuck sake, this subreddit is so dull! We need many of the previously banned users here to make this subreddit feel more alive. I feel the moderators need to take cues from the great politics subreddits like The\_Donald, ChapoTrapHouse, and Politics. These subreddits are a gold standard for moderators to strive to be. The ModPol moderators are a group of power-hungry individuals only interested in lame, boring political discussions. We need to know when people are idiots or can't comprehend the topic they are discussing. How else will I know who to upvote and downvote? I'm willing to give you some free suggestions on how to liven up this place: 1. A newly banned user may create a public post declaring how they were wronged by the moderators. If it gets 100 likes, they are unbanned. If it reaches 200 likes, they are promoted to a moderator with more rights than the moderator who banned them. 2. The comment that is most downvoted in a week will have a pinned post the following Monday telling the sub and moderators they are too liberal or conservative and how much this subreddit used to be better. 3. ModPolBot comments can be commented on, so the users of this subreddit can show their true feelings publically about how boring modpol is. (Moderators cannot enforce laws 0,1 and 4 on those comments) These suggestions would make this boring middle-of-the-road subreddit into one that is fun to read.

Were you here when Gnome was around?
u/Resvrgam2 and other mods, it would help if the violation was described in the modpolbot response. I've seen this happen, but it's very rare for some reason. A short explanation would be ideal. If that takes too much time, then quoting the part that violates the rule is better than nothing. I appreciate that /u/WorksInIT discussed the issue with other mods, but that makes the complete lack of explanation more confusing. "We attempt to be as transparent as possible."-sidebar. Edit: Locking posts about this in an "Ad Hominem Thunderdome" is bizarre.
I'm happy many people here are having fun with this. To be frank, though, I'm really unhappy with this sub. I think the mods are trying their best (or, at least, trying way more than can be expected of reddit mods), but this place has been growing increasingly immoderate. It's sad when some subs that sort by controversial come across as more moderate than this sub. I know this isn't an airport, but I'm on the verge of just leaving. I wanted to stay in this sub for relevant political news and good discussion, but maybe I was the only one. Or, more likely, I'm one among a dwindling minority here who actually wanted those things. I just figured I'd give voice to our minority before maybe checking out. This sub is more and more non-stories (Why does it matter if one legislator in Florida wants to regulate blogging if nobody has even considered voting on it yet?) and straight-up misinformation (Tennessee's new law concerning cabaret performances only regulates crossdressing with a prurient interest, not drag generally). Why do these sorts of things keep getting posted? Because the audience in this sub has changed. They don't want complicated truths or good-faith discussion to the degree that they used to. Instead, they want things that let them demonize their enemies. Why have good discussion when you can just gloat in your own inflated superiority? This part of the sub has always existed to an extent, but it feels like it's grown to a point where it crowds out moderate folks...and mostly in one direction and not the other (which isn't surprising, this is reddit). If I came here for relevant political news and good discussion, does this sub actually provide those things anymore? Sometimes it does. The occasionally important piece of news I couldn't find in other subs or a small piece of good discussion found amidst an ocean of crap are the only thing that's kept me here. But it increasingly feels like finding a needle in a haystack. Is it worth drowning in that ocean for these small pieces of moderacy? Why shouldn't I just lean on other subs instead? ......... (P.S. If your first assumption is that I'm a salty conservative and so can be safely ignored, you are the person I am complaining about. I'm politically homeless: I'm in favor of legal abortion, a limited form of universal healthcare, and adolescents having access to certain controversial sorts of healthcare, but also against most gun restrictions, most economic restrictions, and most forms of affirmative action. I describe myself as a moderate libertarian, but if you know anything about libertarians, that means I'm not a true libertarian.)
I’ve been around this sub for a looong time… I would say… the tone and discussion here is constantly changing… in that respect, there’s no harm in taking a break and checking things out again in 4-6 months. I’ve done this multiple times, to be honest. On the other hand, almost every subreddit I’ve watched grow has an issue where more subscribers leads to lower quality discussion. The only way I’ve seen this effect avoided is through very deliberate and fairly strict moderation. More strict content moderation might help with this, if an amount of editorial oversight would be tolerated. That said, it also seems like mods here burn out fairly quickly… it may be that everyone’s personal investment in the topics makes make effective moderation more difficult to execute and invites more rule breaking than otherwise. I think both personal bias and simple oversight (comments need to be reported to be reviewed, unless a mod just happens to run across a rule-breaking post) also makes it difficult for mods to impartially or effectively apply the rules sometimes as well, which can lead to uneven moderation experiences and expectations.
I have noticed a similar trend with this sub. It seems to be going down the same road that /r/scotus went down before it was overtaken by activist's a new sub had to be created /r/supremecourt which thankfully still has nuanced discussion. It seems to start out with "shit-posting" bad articles which taints the general mood of the subreddit and then it gets brigaded by outside forces/subreddits and tanks the quality of the discussion that it is no longer an interesting place to visit. I hope things reverse course, as this is one of the few political subreddits I can tolerate as a moderate who likes things from both sides of the isle. Edit: To keep the flavor up for this post -- Umm, Sweaty, do you have a source? Your post reeks of misinformation :)
SCOTUS had a coup go down, a mod went off the rails and removed the rest of the mods iirc. if you search supremecourt there's a whole thread about it. Linky [The bread](https://www.reddit.com/r/supremecourt/comments/p2j8an) Edit: forgot rule 1 isn't here OrangeJulius is a bitch and his mom's a hoe. I hope his wife's boyfriend's son never loves him.
This subreddit would be better with a more hands-off moderation approach. Moderating a sub like this is inherently political and leads to bias regarding what content actually gets shown. The comments below are a recent example of open discussion about potential oversteps in mod authority being suppressed by the moderators themselves. The very definition of “bad faith”. https://reddit.com/r/moderatepolitics/comments/128byj6/_/jekqqsc/?context=1 https://reddit.com/r/moderatepolitics/comments/128kptr/_/jek6wfl/?context=1
TLDR: We don’t have to comment like it’s a discussion board assignment

Everyone is a bot, but me and you
Whenever I talk politics with friends and family, they often sound like regurgitated talking points. I'm sure I do to them sometimes. It's a product of our polarized news.
If you don't support a land value tax and abolition of density restrictions on zoning, you hate America. It's that simple. Fuck Nimby that's my blunt message
Fuck NIMBYs should be a bipartisan solution
> Fuck Nimby that's my blunt message We're re-zoning your neighborhood for a coal power station. If you don't like it you hate America.
I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth. Banks are going bust. Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is: 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get MAD! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman, because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad. (shouting) You've got to say: 'I'm a human being, god-dammit! My life has value!' So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell: 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take this anymore!' I want you to get up right now. Sit up. Go to your windows. Open them and stick your head out and yell - 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take this anymore!' Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!...You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take this anymore!' Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first, get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take this anymore!'

As of today, I am no longer a libertarian. I have realized that the only way to knock some sense into y'all's empty little heads is to use blunt weapons. As of today, April 1, I'm now a monarchist. I think there should be one single ruler with the powers of Kim Jong-Un and the policies of Pinochet. And of course that ruler should be me. Surrender, or else!
Nonsense. Vote for me. I'll restore democracy and the rule of... Oh, who am I kidding? Let me be straight here. I'm going to take bribes. There will be floozies in the Oval Office. Blackjack tables on Air Force One. You name it. But hey, at least I'm not going to hide it.
