In fact, the original post of this thread was reported by a member for that infraction of the rules. I did not moderate that report, as I decided it was appropriate in this case to recuse myself. Thanks to @drscorpio for doing so. -
No. Here's a relevant post from that thread explaining the distinction: Is that a judgment call? Yes, it is. TBH, it would be a hell of a lot easier just to remove all of those topics. We haven't done that because they're popular, people enjoy discussing these things, and it's probably helpful for a fair number of people working through their own issues. I freely admit that I did that once, several months ago, when I was in a crappy mood. I later realized that I was being unfair and pissy, and went back and removed those downvotes. If I downvoted your posts or your girl's recently, it was because I honestly thought they were crappy content. I don't think that about all of y'all's posts. But I certainly do think it about some of them.

Amen. And in my region add to that trans-feminines, cross-dressers, and people looking only for those.

Your boy was suspended for violating a long-established rule about posts regarding underage sex. You might like to review the rule and contemplate what was different about his post from those other supposedly-similar comments. Actually I can do nothing of the sort. The attributions for reactions are hidden from moderators, so I cannot see who downvotes (dislikes) my posts.
-
The only thing you've ever received a penalty for is posting things in the wrong place, or posting duplicates of the same thing in multiple places. The only serious infractions among those were posting bugchasing topics outside the Backroom.
-
All of the rules for the site are made by @rawTOP, and he alone is responsible for them and for the rationale for them. We moderators (I think I speak for @drscorpio as well here) try to enforce them as even-handedly as possible. I won't claim to be perfect; like everyone else here, I'm human. I have to disagree with you on several points here. Drug abuse and bug-chasing are tolerated. They are certainly NOT encouraged, and they are limited to the Backroom forums, which allows members to choose not to see that content if they have a desire not to. The majority of what we do as moderators is to enforce that limitation. AIDS worship, or fetishization, is specifically prohibited (even in fiction), per the new "harm to the community" policy that @rawTOP instituted in March '21. There is not a "compelling need to censor you from sharing opinions that others deem harmful". There IS a policy against posting "false information, conspiracy theories...". Unless you are the individual in question in BOTH instances, or have reliable information from that individual, you are very likely drawing this conclusion on the basis of insufficient information. Warnings (and the penalties that are sometimes associated with them) are seen only by the person to whom they are issued. The posts that triggered the warning may not be altered in any way, even if the author was penalized severely - or they may be edited, moved, or removed entirely. What is done depends on the particular infraction, the content of the post, and the context of the post.

Absolutely agree. I will certainly vote against Trump in the '24 Republican primary if I'm still in my current state of residence, and depending on what happens in the next year I think it's quite possible that Cheney could make a credible run against him.

Moderator: The number of reactions per day is intentionally limited. That is the way @rawTOP decided to configure the system. One reason for this is to encourage people to contribute their own ideas about a topic raised by someone else, rather than just using a "thumbs-up" (the visual equivalent of saying "that's hawt"). Sure, a lot of things on here are hot... but we know that already! Limit your use of reactions to things that really impress (or disgust) you, and it's not really all that much of a hardship. When I was a full Member (with 10 reactions a day) I used to hit the limit maybe once every couple of weeks.
-
So it DOES work, and there's a limit on the number of times per day you can use it. Which is exactly the way it is programmed to work. The number of reactions you can apply per day depends on your membership level. You are a full Member (as opposed to New Member or Junior Member), and I believe 10 exactly is the number you get per day. As you continue to post content, your Reputation score (which you can see if you visit your own profile) will increase and you will advance to Senior Member, and then you will get a larger number of reactions per day.
-
It just looks that way because you're not in one of the more benighted areas of the country like West Virginia (where I am). There is apparently only one place in this entire state where they are holding vaccination clinics.
-
You might want to clarify what you mean by that. A lot of people are confused. For the current (Jynneos) vaccine, this is true. From the FDA announcement of its approval (2019):

Fuck that's hot!!

How many guys are into satanic beliefs? Satanic religion? Why

If it's Windows, it's under Windows Accessories -> Character Map. But I don't know where they go - whatever you wrote isn't in a language I know. -

What other belief-system has two days of the week named after them (Thursday and Friday) ??? In the event someone doesn't realize it,, Thor's day morphed into Thursday, and Freya's day into Friday. That would be the northern European pantheon, not they Olympians. But it's more than two. Try four (in English, anyway): Tiw's day Woden's day Thor's day Freya's day (or Frigg's) -

The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a heav’n of hell, a hell of heav’n. 😉 Malt does more than Milton can To justify God's ways to Man. -
Moderator's note: The OP is no longer a member, so if this is going to happen, someone else will need to step up and organize.

@BootmanLA Nothing is better than a ham sandwich. Proof: Nothing is better than Eternal Happiness. Eternal Happiness is certainly better than a ham sandwich. By the transitive property, Nothing is better than a ham sandwich. You're welcome.

WOW!! Only made it part way through chapter 2 before exploding! Sizzling hot!

Yeah, I remember Inn Exile circa 2000. Lovely place, though it was a weeknight in January so it was completely dead. On the other hand, the company was paying the tab, so I wasn't going to complain...

No, you're fine. The system automatically flags certain posts for moderation before they go live. That message is just to let you know why your post isn't appearing immediately - it is being held until a moderator can look at it. The system notifies us right away that something needs attention, so usually one of us can check it reasonably quickly.
-
You're not the only one! I was looking for it yesterday on your behalf and I couldn't find it either. But it's right there, and on my screen it was even bright blue! SMH.

The Tenderloin may be the worst neighborhood in SF, but unless it has gone downhill substantially since I was there in the '90s, it's not all that bad. There are much scarier places in most of the other large(ish) US cities I've been in. And I'm sure rent isn't cheap there. It's just less expensive than in the rest of SF. It's probably still completely unaffordable to mere mortals.

Also, a good detergent ("grease cutting" dish soap, for example) can itself be a germicide, because it can destroy the integrity of bacterial cell membranes.

Just ran across a fairly thorough article on Monkeypox. Has a lot about transmission modes, including prevalence of different modes and the status of research on transmission to date. Definitely worth a read. https://www.statnews.com/2022/08/10/what-scientists-know-and-dont-know-about-how-monkeypox-spreads/?utm_source=pocket-newtab
