USSR Thread.  :/

---

Speaking of; what are the odds of getting a 'lightly moderated' discussion forum?  Im actually slightly interested to see what some here have to say.  Like really, given the progressive atmosphere and informed intelligent and learning peoples.

It's ok. We can just pretend that the USSR thread was in a love triangle with the whacky Australasian thread and the Europol thread, and the American thread got jealous and killed it with the remains of the Stupid thread.

Lightly moderated? How so?

Bay12 is pretty lightly moderated. Most other places[1] you have moderators stepping in and shouting at people the moment anything steps away from what the thread is titled and also if any thread becomes at all disharmonious.

¹ Literally the only other forum I still go to is the MSPA one so take that as you will.

Godwin is a tool for suicide, not murder.

Also yes, B12 is extraordinarily lightly moderated.

It is lightly moderated; Toady only shows up when he's needed. That just happens to be more and more often as of late.

If Toady hired a moderator to handle all the damn political discussions, you'd end up with someone who bans anyone with dissenting opinions.

I've been to forums where you got instantly banned for mentioning certain topics, ranging from immigration to magnets.

Likewise I've been to forums where getting banned is nigh on impossible.

I do quite like how Bay12's moderation is in moderation. It's flexible. I would argue against creating a subforum in Bay12 where moderation is even lighter, if just for the fact that the various nonsense that went on in that subforum would inevitably leech into the greater forums - drama that would be warrant to the work of the moderators.

Im part of a forum or two where the only rule is no accusing other members of pedophilia.  Because FBI.

Things get discussed occasionally there, but too much polarized politic *and history between core members*.  People here have very educated opinions.  And even the fights are informative.

What, you mean mine? The flames were going out of control.

What about cicadas?

Loud Whispers, where in the hell did you find a forum that bans users for mentioning magnets? It sounds worthy of a visit.

USSR thread is a lot like Fenrir.

It originated from a person whose figure might be considered in different ways, bad ways and good ways, depending on who's rating. It grew fast, changing from a tamed pet to hazardous monster, but still tamed one. People feared it's destructive potential and tried to contain it several times, which never helped. It had been rising again and again.
Now, USSR thread is officially considered as a provocational, I guess, and into oblivion it goes.
But one day, it shall rise and overrun moderation, destroying Bay12.

Sod it, I'd ship myself to anyone who actually gets my name correct.

Obviously it's a mormon forum.

I would go there and ask questions about horses on treadmills.

Who, Me? I never thought I'd be so famous as to warrant differing interpretations of my character.
