Some thread deletions seem arbitrary, personal, vindictive, & based upon triggered emotions.

I mean, there's the Villains You Consider Sexy thread which perhaps gets a little bordeline sometimes because of the anime fans, but generally I don't consider things like this to be thirst posting.

Mod decisions are deliberately opaque to stop petty bullshit. However, both of the most recent threads you've made that were deleted were deleted by me, so I am at liberty to explain why I deleted them. Normally, if you have an issue with any individual decision, you should use Talk to Staff.

Your issue is that you have made several attempts at the same fucking thread in Happenings.

Happenings threads are for... happenings. Not general discussion. There's an EU news thread in News, there's deep thoughts for more serious discussion such as the fate of Europe, there's mass debates for random quibbling. "European Trouble" is not a thread that belongs in Happenings, which is why it was deleted. You should have taken a hint the first three times it was deleted - each time by a different mod, because it doesn't fucking fit into the board.

These other thread was just a thirst posting thread on General Discussion.

Threads that exist just for titillation have literally a million other websites they can go on. Just posting random pictures of women and saying "u bang?" is not something I'm particularly happy to have because it will just lead to people porn dumping and other associated issues.

You have zero warnings, no account restrictions, and both times I deleted these threads I used user alerts to notify you as to why.

Thank you for that more detailed and informative reply. I apologize for the tardiness of this reply. I have been extremely busy as of late. And as you suggested, I will use the Talk to Staff board for any future correspondence concerning Mod decisions.

As to the Mod decisions being intentionally nontransparent, I can certainly understand the desire to avoid constant whinging directed at individual Mods and the petty personal vendettas that can ensue from those confrontations. That being said, I do wonder if there are ways to keep Mods accountable for their actions if - god forbid - one or more of them goes rogue and abuses their Mod privileges.

The reasons I kept trying to get a ‘European Troubles’ type of thread going in Happenings was because I wanted it to be free from some of the strict posting guidelines in the Articles & News board; I wanted there to be quick takes and discussions and not necessarily long and drawn out conversations; and I genuinely thought Happenings was the board for that type of content and that I had mistitled the threads which led to their demise. After reading your admonishment concerning my Happenings contributions, I can honestly say that I don’t quite understand which types of threads belong there.

One issue was that because I always used “European“ in my titles, the “Has this topic already been covered?” feature never displayed any similarly titled thread previously uploaded. And it didn’t display any threads using the “EU” acronym which is something I should have thought of.

Concerning the ‘Hit It or Quit It” thread, it was not my intention to create something that was ribald or perverted - the thread title was meant to be amusing & memorable. I noticed that KF seemed to be populated - in my unscientific estimation - by approximately 98% guys. “Why not…” I thought to myself “…create a fun and lighthearted thread that KF dudes can contribute to that’s completely different from the political threads, the lolcow threads, the tech threads, and instead contains images of women that the guys think are pretty?” I also was hoping the guys would look kindly upon me instead of thinking I was just some dumb girl. ;(

But if what you and others have said about those types of threads is true (they always devolve into the posting of porn images), then I agree that my thread deserved to be euthanized. I am sorry that I posted it and I wholeheartedly apologize to anyone who was offended by it.

I want to say that I appreciate what you’re doing at KiwiFarms by giving thousands of people a place to express opinions that simply would not be tolerated in most places online and almost nowhere offline (newspapers, periodicals, high schools, universities, corporations). And your willingness to stand your ground and also fight against the tyranny of the Alphabet People whilst they and their enablers/co-religionists attack unrelentingly is a testament to living one’s life on his or her own terms and not being cowed by the forces of darkness. Thank You.

Do you seriously think that Null cannot see our actions?

'Happenings' is for, well, happenings. For important events currently occurring, or a singular event with far reaching consequences or with far reaching past impact on the world. Susan Wojcicki dying is an example of the latter. 'The British Summer of Discontent' is an example of the former.

There's also effort that needs to be taken into account. From my recollection, your threads were [title that is not relevant to the post], [post about some random event in Germany] and that's it. No explanation as to the purpose of the thread, why anyone should care, how it relates to the title, etc.

If it takes me more time to delete your thread than it took you to make it, even for happenings threads, then your thread really did not have to be made.

Ultimately what fits and what doesn't is entirely visible by just glancing at the threads that are there.

There is a LOT of content on KF that requires some form of moderation. We can’t expect a busy person like Mr. Null to be involved with every single decision made by the Mods.

Thank you, that helps. The idea that Happenings is more about single events rather than ongoing stuff seems to make some sense.

The idea was to post a title about an event that took place and then provide information about that event from print or video sources. I wouldn’t have editorialized too much about the event so that people could make up their own minds.

Believe me, I did scan the topics in the Happenings board but they seemed to be a mishmash of content that could’ve been posted on several different boards. It’s a bit of a confusing board title.

That's what complaints are for. Point is, if mod abuses his power, and that is reported, it is easy for Null to see it.

Right, but I doubt every time Mod privilege is abused that it is reported. And what do the humble posters find out in terms of remedies and punishments if a Mod has been abusing their privilege?
