Just taking a poll of the users here. There always seems to be contradictory feedback on whether the mods are too strict, too lenient, or too inconsistent. So I'd like to make an unofficial poll to judge the userbase's opinions on the issue - and yes, VPNs are banned.

survey link: https://strawpoll.com/NMnQNpDBBg6

Poll closes on 2024-01-19.

ORDINANCES:
1. H*z is banned. Any mention of, depiction of, video, audio, or image (including memes) of, or related to, the individual known as Adam Tahir (more commonly known as Haz Al-Din), including associated projects such as the media collective "Infrared", or the US-based "American Communist Party" founded in 2024, etc. are BANNED.

2. No non O.C. Wojaks, Pepes, or Groypers. Any Wojaks, pepes, groypers, etc. which are not /leftypol/ original content are considered spam.

3. The Wojakifcation/wojak script is banned. This is a bit of javascript, commonly used on bunkerchan, which takes a post one is replying to and posts a greentext version of it in a pre-made wojak template, which is used as a reaction image.

4. 'Real Proletarian' rhetoric which implies a large percentage of wage workers are not proletarians is banned - per modocracy vote passed on 2024-12-25

5. For original posts outside of /siberia/, "coomer bait" images which are sexual, sexualizing, or appeal to the prurient interest in any way are BANNED and will be spoilered or removed. - per modocracy vote passed on 2025-01-02

6. Evading original post word minimum outside /siberia/ is BANNED. - per modocracy vote passed on 2025-01-02

7. Incel posts are banned site wide (i.e. incel talking points and making 9999 threads complaining about women, saying all women are bourgeoise/sluts/etc.) - per modocracy vote passed on 2025-01-02

8. "Feral" furry porn (i.e. drawn or cartoon pornography depicting a character that is a four-legged animal, or to a significant degree non-anthropomorphic) is BANNED, and will be spoilered or removed at the moderator's discretion - per modocracy vote passed on 2025-01-11

9. Climate change denial, especially to the extent of excessive doomerism and BP shill tier takes, is banned - per modocracy vote passed on 2025-01-11

Mods should be lenient to radical left views (ie not demsocs) and be more strict about all the bad faith liberal/chud posters.

Liberalism needs to be contained, I'm sick and tired of them.
I know some ""progressives"" can be turned to socialism but them thinking LGBT+ rights are the endgame is making me sick to the bones

>>2103967
is there even much of that here at all i rarely see it and when i do it seems to be mocked and/or ignored

I think people are making a big deal about people posting gay shit. I barely see anyone post LGBT stuff besides maybe /USApol/ and that's typically when there's some trans ban in the news.

>>2103971
there is a large contingent who seems to reject self determination in favor of abstract human rights that basically carry water for bringing freedom and democracy while denying it or condemning both sides because they separate cultural issues from their material base and will call you a bourgeois opportunist for saying that developing production is a prerequisite for social progress

My primary complaint is that incel shit is not deleted and removed heavily enough. Misogynists, incels, queerphobes, are all liberal and they spread their liberal poison here.
"Why are women/gays/black people like this?" type shit can't be tolerated.

Delete these internet addicted illiterate suburbanite shut in reactionary liberal drivel on sight.

>>2103967
Nobody posts this. If anything there's too much anti-queer shit disguised with Marxist rhetoric.

What's the difference between
>There is likely not enough moderation overall. Rules likely need an update too.
and
Too Lenient - turning it into socdems/groypers

>>2104048
Fidel Castro said:
>We would never come to believe that a homosexual could embody the conditions and requirements of conduct that would enable us to consider him a true revolutionary
and
>A deviation of that nature clashes with the concept we have of what a militant Communist should be

>>2104059
In what year?

>>2104059
Uhmm guys, is antisemitism actually based???
>What is the secular basis of Judaism? Practical need, self-interest. What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money.
Only a fucking retarded reactionary would weaponize socialist heroes to justify their backwards views.

>>2104048
>My primary complaint is that incel shit is not deleted and removed heavily enough. Misogynists, incels, queerphobes, are all liberal and they spread their liberal poison here.

whenever i see posts like this i can't help but feel the poster may as well just post on reddit instead of here

>>2104048
>anti-queer shit disguised with Marxist rhetoric.
such as?

>>2104079
marx wasn't being antisemetic there. have you actually read it? he was steelmanning an antisemite to prove that even if what they believe was true the only way to "save christianity from jewry" was communism

>>2104094
No shit dumbass.
>>2104092
See above, using Fidel Castro as a cover for homophobia. Other instances are the reactionary anti-proletariat repression of anti-imperialist countries such as Russia towards queer people. Just because the CIA weaponizes queer people doesn't mean that state sanctioned queer lynching squads are somehow something to support.
>>2104084
>if you're against liberal ideology being pushed here then you should go to liberal central: reddit.
Amazing argument fucktard. If you want liberalism on this board go to /pol/ or reddit, we don't need that retarded shit here.

>>2104084
i think a lot of posters make unfounded assumptions and talk past eachother so im gonna double up

that poster is right about misogynists, incels, queerphobes, and you should be gulag for homophobia

but also that poster should be gulag for liberalism because they think marxism is anti-queer and dismiss it as rhetoric

the real big problem is that no one knows what the fuck they are talking about so you have anti-idpol being culture war chauvinists and idpol being socdem radlibs and both are wrong. idpol libs cant make a proper materialist argument to defend their correct positions and chauvinists appeal to nature and essentialism couldnt into a dialectic to save their life

this can only be fixed by moderation of both which is not possible if they dont have a correct understanding of marxism themselves

>>2104098
>i think a lot of posters make unfounded assumptions and talk past eachother so im gonna double up
>but also that poster should be gulag for liberalism because they think marxism is anti-queer and dismiss it as rhetoric
Heh, a bit ironic. For one, I would argue exactly the opposite. Marxism BTFOs the ridiculousness of homophobia and transphobia, through a variety of ways.
>this can only be fixed by moderation of both which is not possible if they dont have a correct understanding of marxism themselves
I won't comment on the second claim, but on the first claim, yes. We need more heavy moderation of retarded incels/misogynists/etc who are the ones mostly responsible here for spreading liberal ideology. Even socdem libs here don't spread liberal ideas regarding these topics because there's not much to say, queer people are oppressed and that's it. I'd rather have them be in silence about the topic then have people quoting Fidel Castro to justify their obsession on hating gay people (which is psychopathic, let's be real).

>>2104096
>See above
ok but thats not "marxist rhetoric"

>>2104033
>developing production is a prerequisite for social progress
this is marxist rhetoric

fidel was wrong but it makes sense that people in engaged in production just emerging from colonial agriculture would not see the breakup of traditional family units as a good thing. so we can say that this was a mistake while still holding critical support for cubas self determination and economic development free from imperialist intervention. we can also see how this independent development of productive forces in cuba have led to a stable social structure as technology reduces gender differences and direct physical labor that enables alternative lifestyles and family structure which have now been enshrined in law.

>>2104096
>>2104098
>Misogynists, incels, queerphobes, are all liberal
are you guys really trying to no true scotsman incels, what am i reading, is this some nonsense coming from the lgbt thread in siberia or what

>>2104102
Socialist rhetoric then, call it as you wish. I can name more. Retarded reactionary illiterate MLs (I am an ML BTW), saying that homosexuality needs to be banned, in their world building fantasy HOI4 "theory" because of production reasons. Let's not forget that epic blogpost by cockshott, where he laughably deduced by using pure reason that gay people are actually petit bourgeois or some shit because they can marry, not have children, and have two incomes. I can go on and on about the shit that's posted here. Another one points out (correctly, for the wrong reasons) how gays or trans people didn't exist until relatively recently, and how, by using the power of imaginary empirical research, it is more prevalent among the richer strata, therefore it is a "bourgeoise" "degeneracy". (A degeneration of Real Family Values, one has to assume, and we all know how communists love the traditional nuclear family lol, not to mention how the bastardized usage of "bourgeoise" coming from Marx into a sad moral condemnation).
>>2104106
Not all in the world. The posters here who are obsessed with posting about how much they hate women or about how much they worship women (often both), or are ready to chime in to justify their hatred of queer people, or about how in true communism, once they are the great dictators, they will mandate GFs and "fix" queer people, etc, are all liberals.

If it were the other way around, if it were posters posting constantly about how we must fight for women, or must fight for gay marriage rights or whatever, or about how in true communism everyone will be forced to become queer, then you'd rightfully identify these people as liberals. Somehow being a sad sack of contrarian shit shields these liberals from any criticism. I realize we're on a *chan site, but that doesn't excuse these shit liberal takes being allowed to proliferate without any resistance.

Leftypol's raison d'être was once to fight idpol in all its forms, and identified idpol as a trojan horse filled with poison. Whether that has ever been successfully done is another topic, but what I'm stating here is part and course with the site's original spirit.

the bigger problem is that mods arent active enough, bait and other shit gets left untouched for way too long. everything else is fine imo

>>2104108

no they're not

> if it were posters posting constantly about how we must fight for women, or must fight for gay marriage rights or whatever, or about how in true communism everyone will be forced to become queer, then you'd rightfully identify these people as liberals.

>or must fight for gay marriage rights or whatever
we already have these guys here

>or about how in true communism everyone will be forced to become queer

i don't think many people would call this liberal
>Somehow being a sad sack of contrarian shit shields these liberals from any criticism
they get criticised literally all the time
>but that doesn't excuse these shit liberal takes being allowed to proliferate without any resistance.
they get plenty of resistance.

>>2104101
>ironic
yeah im making the completely unfounded assumption that since you posted right after me that you are one of the people who think critical support for assad or putin is an endorsement of homophobia rather than independent development being the only way for russia and syria to stop scapegoating minorities for economic hardship imposed by imperialist meddling

>Marxism BTFOs the ridiculousness of homophobia and transphobia, through a variety of ways.

i agree but just declaring it to be so doesn't count. if these people are really marxists you can walk them through it and if it doesn't work they will expose themselves in the process and should get the gulag

>Where do correct ideas come from? Do they drop from the skies? No. Are they innate in the mind? No. They come from social practice, and from it alone; they come from three kinds of social practice, the struggle for production, the class struggle and scientific experiment. It is man’s social being that determines his thinking.

https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-9/mswv9_01.htm

i wonder how much of this bs originates with CPGB-ML. they are so good on imperialism and totally shit the bed on minority rights, then you have the KKE being absolute trash on both fronts and for some reason people here are drawn to them like flies

>>2104108
>Let's not forget that epic blogpost by cockshott

https://nicolasdvillarreal.substack.com/p/a-defense-of-cybernetic-planning

>Socialist rhetoric then, call it as you wish.

no i mean thats just like fidels opinion. socialist rhetoric is when you say means of production dialectics material conditions over and over so you sound cool. all that other stuff tho yeah nuke the cesspool that is siberia from orbit

in other words the only way to fix this site if for mods is to piss off everyone except me by becoming pro landback blm lgbt campists, which is of course the only correct position for a marxist to hold

>>2104114
What's the issue with banning them then? Why should we tolerate misogyny, queerphobia, etc?
>no they're not
You're saying, with conviction in your heart, that defending and espousing misogyny and queerphobia via "socialist analysis", in the year of our lord 2025, is not borne from liberalism?
>>2104115
Agree with all your post, however, the incels are relentless. Remember the first incel containment thread. Multiple people in different time zones for months arguing with two incels which led nowhere except burnout of the non-incels. Further, if you read the posts by the people in the new incel's refuge, the so called " sex and relationship " thread, you can tell these people are not even interested in Marxism or any socialist theory for that matter. They're here because they found a small community of internet addicted channers like them who aren't insane like the Nazis on other chans.

Might I also remind the older members of the first idpol containment thread which was also a disaster. These measures have historically only led to festering. In theory, I agree with what your Mao quote. But in practice this simply isn't feasible. Perhaps it makes sense in a communist organization where members are expected to have already undergone basic formation, and are committed revolutionaries. Here though? Hardly the case, as I mentioned, some clearly don't even care about socialism or leftism.

My proposition is simple, ban incel shit more frequently.

>>2104120
I'm generalizing, sorry for not proofreading. Some people in the sex and relationship general. I don't even think it's a majority, it's just very online people that easily dominate the thread and frequently escape containment and post god awful threads on Siberia and sometimes even on leftypol.

>>2104120
>You're saying, with conviction in your heart, that defending and espousing misogyny and queerphobia via "socialist analysis", in the year of our lord 2025, is not borne from liberalism?

yes? an incel that wants to forcibly redistribute the distribution of access to women has nothing whatsoever in common with a liberal or liberalism, and misogyny and queerphobia in 2025 aren't borne of liberalism.

>What's the issue with banning them then? Why should we tolerate misogyny, queerphobia, etc?

uhhh because upwards of 90% to 99% of the working class is queerphobic depending on the continent, to not tolerate these eccentricitys is to oppress our valued BIPOC population on leftypol

ok the serious answer, because these claims of queerphobia are usually just used as a shield to ban some leftypol user that pointed out some contradiction in gender ideology that some sympathiser to it was incapable of refuting, so they run off to the mods demanding bans, They claim everything is queerphobic/misogynistic/pro-incel, in the hopes that every argument they can't win ends in the offender getting banned.

It's nonsense, your post is nonsense, your demands are nonsense, your claims that incels aren't criticised are nonsense, people never shut up about them, your claims incels are liberals are nonsense

>being a sad sack of contrarian shit shields these liberals from any criticism
<they get criticised here all the time
>okay whats the problem with banning them then???
i can FEEL the slime

i never look at siberia but i went there recently after several months of not seeing it and it has become so much worse. its even possible that not having to see siberia made me not realize exactly how bad the site has gotten as a whole.

it just totally sucks ass to be on a /leftist/ board and have entire threads repeatedly derailed by "women and gays are icky/no theyre my friends" with zero material analysis, and when you interject people dismiss material analysis to redirect the thread back to their feelings. maybe they just dont know better but allowing that kind of consensus to form drives people away from correct conclusions while digging deeper into wrong ones out of spite

>nuh-uh!
The post.
>>2104143
> an incel that wants to forcibly redistribute the distribution of access to women has nothing whatsoever in common with a liberal or liberalism
>just because it's psychopathic social democracy, doesn't mean it isn't fundamentally liberal.

Eager to hear your theory.
>[we shouldn't ban antisocial retards because] uhhh because upwards of 90% to 99% of the working class is queerphobic
What a fucking retarded come back. See how incels are not even concerned with theory? They just learn theory enough to defend their shitpit. 99% of the western population is on the spectrum of fascism. We should just make this site a pro-fascist site. What a fucking moron.
>your claims incels are liberals are nonsense
Clearly not.

>>2104271

>>2104271
Its a ungrateful job. When moderation works nobody pays attention but when its lacking everyone is chimping out.

It's hardly fucking strict you see people promote pure white supremacy here and not get a ban, and I don't mean "white supremacy" like in the maoist (liberal) sense. The best thing they did recently was delete that h1b thread. The h1b thing spread over here and you had two camps either saying all "foreigners" are reactionary agents instead of just proletarian and then the other half was like OMG I LOVE CURRY BASED HINDUS BAAAAAAASED HINDUS. None of this had anything to do with socialism it was all hitler shit.

The only problem I see is mods will suddenly wake up and ban random shit for the loosest rules like "sectarianism" when you are trying to argue a position rooted in theory while some bot spamming hazbin hotel is left up as "board culture" or whatever.

>>2104048
>liberals
>anti-lgbt
You're literally arguing vague, intersectional thing that has nothing to do with socialism. I don't think you know what the words you're using mean. Like, how delusional do you have to be to think liberals hate lgbt rights? Ideology brain shit.

>>2104302
>You're literally arguing vague, intersectional thing that has nothing to do with socialism
Imagined schizo delusions. Make a structured argument showing how I'm "arguing intersectional thing". You can't just use words like spells lol.
>Like, how delusional do you have to be to think liberals hate lgbt rights?
Big boy using words he doesn't understand.
>Ideology brain shit.
Now you've done it hahahaha stop using words you don't understand. You make yourself look foolish.

Triggering incels and they fight back with nonsensical Markov chain socialist sounding responses.

>>2104321
Oh look a liberal calling me a schizo for accurately pointing out they're just talking about intersectionality rather than Marxism. Liberals brought LGBT rights because liberalism is progressive to what came before it. It's historical materialism 101 you'd know this if you ever read Marx, which you didn't. I'm not arguing LGBT rights aren't valid or whatever brainrot you imagine because we care about class, and working for a wage doesn't care about ethnicity or sexual orientation. Revisionists like Castro are irrelevant to the discussion. I don't care about those succdems.
>reactionary
You don't know what that word means just like when people here abuse liberal to mean anyone they don't like.
>throw homophobes in the gulag
Oh boy we're surrounded by ML pipeline noobs who just care about aesthetics and great men.

My biggest problem with the site is that rule 11 is pretty much completely unenforced. As a result posts like >>2104225 and especially >>2104247 that contribute no meaningful discussion end up cropping up everywhere, because slinging insults and arguing about arguing is much easier than actually making a substantive point.

>>2104059
Fidel Castro changed his mind later though, pretty famously so. Cuba's now among the most accepting places of homosexual relationships in the entire world, both in terms of law and public opinion and had been moving in that direction since the late Cold War, long before the West decided to slap pride flags on everything.

I absolutely loathe how people on this site treat socialism the same way /pol/ treats fascism; like it's this old-school historical thing from the 20th century that we must RETVRN to, and that being a fascist/communist means emulating the aesthetics and social values of Nazi Germany/The Soviet Union. But socialism is alive and well in places like Cuba, China, Vietnam, and Korea, and in those places has long-since surpassed the Soviet Union.

How many people here have read books written by socialists living in socialist countries within the past ten years? I'm willing to bet money that the number is >1%.

Fair enough. Add me to the results:
>vwobbly and muu are the core of abuse and apathetically disregard the userbase, a couple of others are a too strict on certain topics but are trivial in comparison. Recent relaxing of overmoderation has been a good thing.

The progressive changes give some hope, but ultimately there's no avoiding that, the old guard won't fall in line, as demonstrated consistently over the past five years, and ignoring that is just holding the modocracy back.

As for my two cents, I have doubt about whether the mod team in its current shape can actuallly deal with a surge of posts following a successful advertising campaign, especially on 4chan which will inevitably lead to /pol/raiding in addition to people genuinely interested.

are you really trying to gatekeep this cesspool?

>>2104707
there were only 3 options originally but the (Other) allows them to write a custom option thats none of the above and other people can vote for it.

How do I put "Too strict in 2020-2022" then "Not strict enough during 2023" and "Inconsistent in 2024."
Oh I see the "Other" box now.

>Too Inconsistent - Bans are for contradictory reasons and different lengths
>Too Strict - turning it into a radlib hugbox and banning stuff based on personal opinion
>Too Lenient - turning it into socdems/groypers
>whether a rule is enforced depends entirely upon whether the mods agree with the poster or not
Considering that mods are all socdems/radlibs these are all the same option, the only hope for leftypol is that it gets bought by Yi Long Ma (Chinese progressive national bourgeoisie) and he fires all of the existing staff

>>2105162
Apparently basic shit like the petit-bourgeois not just being small business owners is considered "fed shit" by jackasses who clearly never read Marx or Engels and stating the obvious like professionals who earn a lot don't bother unionizing because of their high wages and not because of some cognitohazard brainwashing them pisses off a lot of people here, especially mods.

>>2105158
Some of the mods keep the more well behaved /pol/tards around in hopes to convert them, which is why they don't ban them

Ironically if a mod got a hint that you're a regular thats, say, become anti immigrant(or some other positions certain mods don't like) it would result in a month long instaban, usually for "pol"

It used to be part of the board meta during the more strict moderation periods to deliberately pretend to be the former in order to get away with posting a spicy view you knew a certain few mods would not like in order to a avoid their ban hammer.

>>2105059
>t. Fash MAGAcom hazcel upset the mods ban mysoginistic and homophobic posters

i rather like how the mods have been doing things since pasq fucked off, having the site try to take a stance on an issue that's among left wing people is kinda annoying and self-sabotaging for the site

>>2104527
Cuba today is restoring capitalism, promoting lgbt is just a part of that(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

>>2105957
Cuba never stopped being capitalist, they never had a remotely communist program nor a DotP.

>promoting lgbt is just a part of that

If they still sent queers to jail it would be just as capitalist - all bourgeois state policy is, evidently, bourgeois.

>>2105957
It's been
>promoting lgbt
(you say it as if it was a physical substance)
since before the Cold War ended, and really starting pushing for it hard right after the Cold War ended decades before the United States did. And if you want to take the populist angle, there's widespread popular support for LGBT-friendly policies among the Cuban People, so the argument that it's bourgeoisie doesn't make any sense unless you're an idealist intellectual-masturbator.

>>2105999
it's a reactionary or literal fed abusing the tor node. report and move on. trolls hunger for attention

>>2105999
Also, while it's probably the foremost openly pro-LGBT communist nation, not like Cuba's the only LGBT-friendly communist nation period. Vietnam and Laos hold about the same position on the issue the United States did in the 90s and 2000s, where the LGBT community isn't endorsed by fiet, but is generally allowed to do its thing without being punished for it, to the backdrop of a public that's generally ambivalent to it. This makes up three out of the five currently existing communist nations!

That's not to say that communist nations should be pro-LGBT, more that there's nothing un-communist about LGBT nations. Communism/socialism is about economics and politics first and foremost. Specific social values are beyond communism's proper scope, and should be decided based on a specific people's wants and needs.

>>2106001
I'm saying this mostly for the benefit of the board at large. I'm probably not going to convince him of anything, but I can definitely show the crowd that he's retarded and that they shouldn't listen to him.

>There is likely not enough moderation overall. Rules likely need an update too.
Frankly, I think there's a problem when the mod logs are showing no activity for a day.

>>2106023
>That's not to say that communist nations should be pro-LGBT,
Communist nations should be pro-LGBT.
Overcoming oppressive gender roles includes liberation from heteronormativity, monogamy, and the family. The more the workers are able to structure their social relations as they choose (most would still be monogamous and hetero), the more empowered they are and the harder it is for reactionary forces to take hold. The same goes with any "progressive" social policy that erodes these sorts of biases and fetters.

>>2106625

"the workers" are an anachronism.

>>2106625
>>2106023
>Communist nations
I'm losing my fucking mind.

>Overcoming oppressive gender roles includes liberation from heteronormativity, monogamy, and the family.

None of this shit has remotely anything to do with communism. And before you call me reactionary, neither does the opposite stance.

>"progressive" social policy

Any state policy is by definition reactionary. What the fuck is communist about granting rights, by itself a bourgeois invention meant for proper citizens of capitalism?

The reason leftypol became popular initially is because it was a ln alternative to the strictly modded Reddit groups where you could get banned for not being in perfect alignment with the mods.


Sadly leftypol in the past few years has inevitably slipped towards this.

Moderators need to stop banning people for expressing differences or locking clearly popular threats for no reason.

>>2104527
>I absolutely loathe how people on this site treat socialism the same way /pol/ treats fascism; like it's this old-school historical thing from the 20th century that we must RETVRN to, and that being a fascist/communist means emulating the aesthetics and social values of Nazi Germany/The Soviet Union.


You put it perfectly. It's basically just larping and the reading lists that are dominated by western writers from the early 20th century is emblematic of this.

One other thing

Please stop rewarding trolls who derail and shit on threads/discussions they don't like in the hope that mods will lock the thread. It's so transparent every time.

>>2106708
I occasionally use "communist nation" as a shorthand (longhand?) for AES states. It's not strictly accurate, and is the kind of thing that would drive me insane if I saw someone else using it, but it's a useful phrase if you don't think your target audience is knowledgeable enough to know what "AES" means.

>>2104048
You should ban sincerely resentful posters who are just expressing their hatred for groups but questions akin to 'why do refugees rape more' or 'why do black americans engage in criminality more often' should be asked and seriously examined. First it needs to be shown that they're actually TRUE though, there's no useful discussion to be had about blatant lies. But once such a statistic is established as fact, it actually does need to be understood and confronted, not dismissed as an uncomfortable truth. The question should also be oriented in all ways. Not just 'why is minority x like this' but also 'why are men like this'.

This board is called LEFTIST POLITICALLY INCORRECT. Communists should shamelessly pursue awareness of the real conditions (genetic, epigenetic and purely environmental) that lead to destructive behaviour, without ANY regard for what moralistic shitlibs think of it. This can easily be done without ever resorting to petty resentments, like misogyny, racism and anti-homosexuality, Most important is that it is GENUINELY EXPLORATORY. Communists are above most people in that they recognize the very fact that people really are subjected to themselves and their environments. Recognition of this is a necessary precondition to even being capable of figuring things out. Kindness and understanding for all, including the lowest, vilest, sickest (because all destructivity is not more than sickness) of the world. The denial of this principle makes it impossible to understand what the fuck is going on in this Goddamned sewer of a society. Read Nietzsche alongside all the communism.

Legitimately instead of typing out this whole OP why didn't you instead go to the reports page and do your job?
Failing that go to the catalog page and do your job?

>>2104288
>Its a ungrateful job. When moderation works nobody pays attention but when its lacking everyone is chimping out.
Not sure why you think you need to be pat on the back when it works… Actually moderate and we will stop chimping out at you.
It's pretty fucking simple, anon.

>>2107184
yeah the problem if when you moderate the people who have been moderated chimp out about being moderated, but if you don't moderate they make a whole thread about how leftypol mods are groyper socdems

>>2107182
Wasn't there a mod post about there being no reports in the H1B thread?

>>2107586
yes, although its possible there were before and a different mod addressed or dismissed them

>>2107590
Report dismissals show up in the log, you know.

>>2107751
honestly most people don't report. If theres a truly heated debate people are too busy shitting out replies than to report

Here's some info for your poll. Don't use such a psycho looking reaction image as the OP for this thread. I don't come here to see faces that make me feel schizo.

Honestly I think the moderation here is more good than bad. I get a little too edgy sometimes and never got warned or banned so it's definitely not too strict, anyone crying about it is likely overstepping.
Here are some things I'd like to see:
1. Ban newgene and delete all of his posts.
2. Better quality control on /edu/
3. More attention to misogyny, misandry, gender idpol in general, and rape comments on /siberia/
4. More attention to generational idpol. It's unproductive, reductive, unfunny, often essentialistic, and fucking annoying
5. Ban reactionaries who disguise themselves as revolutionaries e.g. russophobes. You know this is not the core userbase of leftypol and in fact demotivates leftypol users
I'll also say that I think that the pepe and wojak ban is kind of silly. I don't feel strongly about it either way and I understand why it's the way it is, but you would never catch me prohibiting it. Maybe it's an optics thing idk
Anyway it's good that you guys are open to feedback. That's better than almost every internet forum in existence

>>2108018
How do you define a russophobe? Is it anyone who's critical of the bourgeois Russian state? Or do you mean dehumanizing rhetoric against Russians?

>>2108434
This question made me realize that 'russophobia', while a very real and deplorable phenomenon, has been appropriated by ziggas the way antisemitism has been appropriated by zionists. :(

>>2108434
I meant russophile mb. But yeah dehumanizing russian people is also bad

Unban soyjaks

>There always seems to be contradictory feedback on whether the mods are too strict, too lenient, or too inconsistent
Really shooting yourself in the foot with this poll if your goal was for it to be different.

Disappointing I am only ever mentioned once
And I missed any drama over New Years because like most people I was otherwise occupied. Seriously, how annoying.
Point is, what a shit poll.
Moderation is not strict enough. The place was worse 1-3 months ago (or thereabouts) however, when Moffin (lol) was shitting it up full time.

>>2109284
Miss me yet?

>>2109291
Not in the slightest
Do better

>>2108018
>1. Ban newgene and delete all of his posts.
This!
That uygha is a drag on every thread he spawns in. I don't use siberia no more so as far as I am concerned you can have him run rampant there but don't let him into leftypol at least.
Most of the mods are probably only dimly aware of him.

Mods, ban this retard.

results so far

>>2110453
I'm genuinely fucking amazed people think there's too much moderation. /leftypol/ is pretty much indistinguishable from /siberia/ at this point. You have threads of people going back and forth going

Ad-nauseum to the tune of 400+ posts.

>>2110484
i dont see this happening probably cuz i dont check generals, theyre all terrible

lol mods have stopped treating leftypol like a childcare only this last week

Low autism score bickering is tolerated here. Having an actual opinion that doesn't conform to the approved narrative isn't.

No. Stop looking for validation and clean the site up.
There are many reports pending, i am certain.

>>2110600
the original poll is still open

>>2110484
i think there has been too much moderation for the last year or so

>>2110504
>lol mods have stopped treating leftypol like a childcare only this last week
from my perspective they basically abandoned the site after the crash, so very recently there hasn't been enough moderation

or rather they had been moderating opinions i like and agree with too much and opinions i dont like and disagree with not enough, letting socdems and groypers post freely and banning communist tendencies that differ from their personal opinion, resulting in a radlib hugbox with occasional nazis

>>2104428
>Not strict enough on reactionary shit especially the multipolarists, "not real prole" posters, and h-zoids.
if you ban those people as not real leftists then you would ban half the site

>>2110689
A slower but healthier site will grow healthier, and may become faster over time. We could overcome the current plateau if it was easier to reccomend the site to people that don't already know the haz situation and know those users don't represent the general userbase.
The site would probably be pretty fast as a /pol/ or sharty clone, but that's not a desirable outcome.


>>2110598
I'm thankful you share my opinions so yes go ahead and ban me please
When will you guys learn?

>>2108018
You called?
Yea I'm that annoying bug.

Hey guys I have a suggestion for this site that I know you'll love.
Have you all considered that the reason why LeftyPol is shit is because it's an imageboard?

Why do you guys act like everyone else is the problem?

For all the whining you guys do about TikTok you all post snippet videos on here all on time.
For all the whining about Reddit you all post screenshots of that sites posts.
You guys just whine about reactionary and radlib shit yet you guys have the same knee jerk reactions to everything.

Imageboards are not known for sincere civil discussions.
It's just a self therapy district for disaffected people to vent their passive aggressiven arrogance on here because you all know that the way you talk on here would get you all bloody noses or rejection in meatspace.

All the talk about "KYS" or "youre mentally ill" for merely disagreeing with you guys on anything and you guys cry about "normies" being visceral.

>>2110733
What would be a better medium?

>>2110733
You're commiting a tingnoter by treating the userbase as one person.
>Imageboards are not known for sincere civil discussions.
I've seen plenty of proper dialouges on here, but people here do have a debate addiction problem so it's hard to steer people toward the healthier cooperative communication. Not impossible, just takes effort.

>>2110768
This guy has cognitive issues, no use talking to him. He won't ever learn.

>>2110484
>I'm genuinely fucking amazed people think there's too much moderation.
It's 100% inter/pol/ers buttmad they keep getting caught in wordfilters when they try to use slurs.

Extremely too lenient

>>2110824
The long-time persecutors of your desperate pleas for the truth are now acknowledging your ancient wisdom, o' anon, you delved into the divine soul, in front of you saw a 2000+ year old commie gnome who had seen everything, whose goal was to contact you, he told you that abrahamic religions made people forget the real gods, the gods of Helleno-Marxian pantheon. You were awestruck, and you, your gentle soul, it warmly shined with the truth. Aware of that, there soon arrived the orators who tried to banish your poor soul in the prisons of torment…
Thank you and please close your eyes and take a good night's sleep, comrade, for you gave all you had, what was left from your strength and will, for your flesh and heroic soul should be very tired of struggling for so long…

REMINDER TO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND DO YOUR JOB JANNIE RETARD

>>2110928
Oh you gonna start fucking paying me? No? ok, then shut the fuck up about what my 'job' is.

>>2110943
We didn't ask you to be a mod either you dumb fuck.

Anyways inb4 ban.

>>2110943
You're welcome to fucking quit.
If you refuse to moderate, why are you here?

>>2103934
is it possible for the meme responses to be removed? i didnt know that "other" would add my writings as a whole new voting part and now ive accidentally made the single largest text for a vote option.
idk if its cheating to directly tell you what i voted/made but fuck it, mods can just remove it if they care
>i joined around middle of '24. i may not have enough expiernce with this site but they have been adequate and i like you for the most part, infinetly better than 4chan (not much of a challenge tho). go with the plan (this is first im hearing about it tho) just be a 5% more strict with the new users and try advertising on different sites too, try youtube adds.

>>2103934
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN, MODDING IS TOO STRICT!

>>2111157
The first order is to stop banning people for shitting on furries. being a furry is not like being any ethnicity nor sexuality nor gender identity, nor any actual idpol identity imaginable. it is literally a choice, a choice made primarily by the petit bourgeoisie.

Life is like a mountain and I'm falling down the mountain.

>>2111169
there is already a partial furry ban per ordinance 8

>>2111169
>what gets you off is a conscious choice
you know what, ban *me* from this hellsite

>>2111157
What do you get when accounting for the 500 additional options that basically say the exact same thing as each-other?

Real talk, I can't imagine what a version of this site with less moderation would even look like, short of people starting outright porn threads on /leftypol/. We're at the point where 90% of posts are more or less
>Kill yourself 🥱

If things keep going the way they are, I can't see myself staying here much longer, and I doubt I'm the only one.

>>2111169
>a choice made primarily by the petit bourgeoisie.
The first order (of business) is to start banning people for calling everything they personally dislike bourgeoisie.

>>2111189
the poll was created with 3 options, the rest are user created

>new ordinances are on an entirely different board only used by people who never touch grass instead of right in front on the most popular board
This team's ineptitude knows no bounds.

>mods need to be way harder on /pol/ shit dressed up as leftism
That'd be nice if they were also hard on leftism dressed up as communism.

Since the ordinances are here too: Ordinance 8 needs to be reworked to make a distinction between zoo and feral, where if the character's sapience is for any reason questionable whilst being feral *then* it should be banned. A flat ban on any nsfw between 4 and 5 on the furry scale is rediculous and ignores the root issue.

>>2103934
sounds good 2 me, especially the first three. thanks fellas

>>2110800
>>2110768
Typical lack of collective self-awareness

>>2110638
retard

you should really be able to vote on multiple options in the poll given how many positions youve allowed there to be

>>2115116
the positions are user created anon

are we gonna get mod feedback on the user feedback?

>>2115242
Poll ain’t over yet

there are TOO MANY RULES and TOO FEW MODS and i have a sneaking suspicion that an indeterminate number of the current mod team may actually be incompetent!

why on earth are there so many rules for things that are not even RELEVANT to a *left-wing* *politics* *discussion* *board* ?

and what in tarnation is a "modocracy"???
if it is what i assume it is, why is the administration of this site sincerely TRYING to waste everybody's time with this ridiculous live action role play of bourgeois institutions? especially when it seems this "modocracy" would rather spend its days voting on meaningless and trivial virtue signaling glittering generality shitheap rules instead of ACTUALLY MODDING THE FUCKING FORUM. its simple, less rules = easier enforcement. so please stop making up new ordinances and just look at the fucking posts on YOUR SITE so you can REMOVE THEM if they break any EXISTING RULES instead of ENDLESSLY making up new rules that solve NON-EXISTENT PROBLEMS.

>>2115514
Damn you sound new

The problem has always been inconsistent moderation. For example, you'll see people write huge polemics against less popular strands of Marxist or Anarchist thought and be fine but then lightly rib someone as a liberal and it's an 8-week ban.

There's a rogue janny that has this ideological hard-on for liberal terrorism so if you criticize adventurist events you get a long-to-permaban. This is always linked to identity politics such as "Muslim adventurism good, white adventurism bad (unless it's Luigi and that CEO that got replaced in two days)." This is connected to my next point.

Criticizing ethnostates isn't "Zionism" and any of the moderators that are confused about that need to differ judgement to someone that has actually read books. What they're doing is enforcing campism with a healthy serving of identity politics with it and we've already had threads where posters can debate campism, so just outright banning any dissent is another example of inconsistency.

I've also long since noticed that if you're a flag poster, you can just break every rule. I think we all know who and there was one event where they finally got a ban for advocating for the extermination of all remaining indigenous people and the mod got bullied into unbanning him because he was a "board character." Favoritism on an anonymous imageboard is poor practice.

Ordinance 1 needs to be an auto-temp ban so everyone can know it's not allowed because I'm seeing greater than 10 mentions of it on /isg/ because it was allowed there for so long, including a board banner referencing him. It gets completely ignored unless you report it, making it cumbersome and irregular to enforce. This also links to inconsistent moderation because people get banned for just uttering the word but then some guy made an entire thread about it and it just gets saged and he's not punished in any way.

It would cut down on ban evasion if people stopped getting banned for inconsistent and poorly thought-out reasons.

According to Danny Shaw it's Ali Hammoud not Adam Tahir as written in the OP.

>>2103934
>you can only choose one option
way to make the poll useless i guess

>>2111905
Can we ban racist shit like this, please? Or are we just going to let these 4chan invaders corrupt the place?
