[Politics] Labour has suspended former leader Jeremy Corbyn

If you think a post is inappropriate, simply report it and let the moderators deal with it

I think it's quite clear a number of reports have gone in over the last couple of days.

 

[Bozza]

Just go back a few pages on this thread and read some of the stuff he’s posted. If that had been written in a newspaper column there would be a large number of complaints and rightly so .

So you’re saying I should be able to stop people posting something in advance?

Should I manually moderate every post before it appears in public to everyone else?

What if reports are made (incidentally I didn’t, but reading the last few pages it’s clear others did) and nothing happens. Then subsequently people tag a moderator and still nothing happens? Post #720 for instance. It doesn’t mean just because a very busy moderator - a regular person doing this as a community favour unpaid - is right or has even had time to look at it.

They haven’t. See my above post.

He was banned before I made my first post on here this evening. I’m enjoying the pile-on though - thanks for that - keep it going if it helps.

And I’d still like to know in what way any “bad posts” are seen as allowed.

In my experience reported posts are ALWAYS dealt with. If you don't agree with the outcome that is something different but it's a privately run message board which I think is very well moderated

I never said bad posts should be allowed. You’re responding to the wrong person Bozza. If anything I was defending the mods.

If they had assessed his posts 24 hours ago and thought they were appropriate that would be a big problem. I assumed they hadn’t because they’re normal working people who don’t spend all day on here getting paid to moderate.

I don’t think anyone expects you to do that Bozza , but there are several posts in this thread all from the same person that have been flagged up ( not by me as I presumed others already had )

The question is how many people need to complain before something is done . He’s not simply on an innocent but annoying wind up ( I’m a expert on that when in the mood ) he is repeating old anti Jewish troupes that are racist and would get you on a criminal charge in Germany nowadays .

and very deliberately derailing a thread about antisemitism in the UK today, with age old theories from racist writers about Jewry.

Reports went in yesterday and nothing happened so red cards were waved. That's perfectly fine, and the correct outcome has finally arrived. The Moderators are busy. That's fine.

And he has the nerve to single me out, with a Mauritian mum and two Iraqi grandparents, racist against POC. It’s a joke. I wasn’t even part of his meltdown. Absolutely fuming at the cheek of it.

Often people point to a post and say something like "I can't believe that is allowed" as if someone has had prior sight of the post, thought "that's OK" and released it for general consumption.

Four reports were made last night on two posts. One person made two of the reports. Political threads are given a wide berth by a lot of NSCers, but it's likely the posts were seen by a few hundred people. Only three of them made reports. As a general point,I think a lot of people must assume "someone else will have reported that so I'll not bother".

I was at the bar at a gig in Bournemouth last night, just after the support act had started. Whilst I was waiting to be served I checked my phone. A couple of mods had seen the reports, reviewed them and suggested action was needed. I quickly responded that I was at a gig and I'd check when I got home around 1am.

I got home and, frankly, couldn't be bothered to pick through the bones of a political thread and, being honest, this morning I forgot as there were a few other things going on throughout the day.

I reviewed it this evening and imposed a ban.

I saw his posts last night and assessed them as inappropriate. Because of my history with Swansman I wanted to make sure I wasn’t reading them with bias and posted on our WhatsApp group. At the time Bozza was at a gig - we do have lives. He was dedicated enough to suggest he’d look in the middle of the night but I think today was fine. It’s not like the post reports could be undone.

We’re volunteers with families and spouses and sometimes that gets in the way. However, it would have been far more inappropriate for me to have banned him yesterday than for Bozza to do so today.

And, no, we don’t read every post or possess crystal balls.

I recognise this and acknowledged such in the post you replied to.

Glad it’s sorted now.

I know - I quote stuff I’m backing up sometimes to maintain the thread of conversation

Excellent news, I hope it is a lengthy ban and he pisses off to pollute another message board.

As has been stated already if he was brave enough to have said any of this in a Pub he would be minus a few teeth by now. Racist Twunt.
