The point is you don't need to do
potentially destructive things just to do something. I appreciate that /roulette/ feels abandonded but the solution isn't to do the same thing again and divide up this site further. The conditions aren't right.
Want to help the site with your spare time? Organize the streaming and gaming events that never happened for the past two years. Keep promoting those /read/ing clubs. Network with other socialist/anarchist sites for those events. Hold an OC competition. Create a grass touching project. Discuss why over-moderation is killing this place and many innocent users and actually solve it instead of a token 'ok that was bad well business as usual again', again. And like I said, seriously consider killing boards that should really be merged. Any political threads on /edu/ should be in /leftypol/. Many of the hobby boards are also redundant but /edu/ is a priority.

Plenty of other things that fall within something that would be of a leftist interests, like the Soviet New Man, weird shit the CIA did when they weren't helping right wingers burn down indigenous villages, like their research into remote viewing(which the KGB also did), creating aids, etc. There's also plenty of other weird shit like turning Che and Stalin into literal saints, pre-Marxist Christian communism, plenty of religious people here.

reformulating an old question of mine slightly (
>>>/meta/11372 ) :
is the aim of [this month's] /roulette/ to be
(a) a place where leftypol users can discuss in a new way (long posts, image only posts, no english, etc.)
(b) a place where leftypol users discuss a new topic (the practical state of most hobby boards)
(c) a place where good discussion of X can be had in general, attracting new users to the site? (as one reading of a /fur/ proposal would go)
each of these implies a slightly different approach. (b) is logistically the easiest, but current experience would suggest it doesn't generate much activity. (a) generally requires either programming effort or moderation effort. (c) requires having someone who'll share links off-site if it's going to have any chance of succeeding.

>And anytime we try to ask the userbase input on any topics, people like you constantly bring this up and clog up discussion on the actual issue. Because it is
fundamentally linked to the issue. There's a reason that you're just asking us about what should /roulette/ be instead of bigger issues.
The staff ask for a /roulette/ topic and my answer is please stop wasting your time with cosmetic gimmicks and notice the underlying issues. The ship is rotting, I don't care what colour you paint the chairs. Please fucking please look at the parts that we've been shouting about every time you ask for our opinions on anything because /roulette/ is one of the deadest boards on the whole site and it has no chance of fixing anything. That's a relevant answer.
The top-down approach is inherent in the structure of this site.
Only admins can consolidate boards or alter the staff.
Only staff opinions will really be counted for those.
Any attempt at creating mass politics necessarily involves /leftypol/, where it will be treated as disruptive drama and put in echo chamber /meta/ to die or straight-up deleted.
Important decisions will not come from the bottom-up.
Sure, we can (and do) organize cosmetic things like special events and the reading club and shill but what's the point when the biggest fundamental issues with the site persist and the staff are just unwilling to fix it, as space_ was? At that point, we might as well just stop prolonging this place's death with small spikes of attention and take those events to somewhere that will benefit from them.

But there are also other limits like the lack of room for people to complain, as well as people who complain being lumped into this 'other' group. And yeah, it's tough. There are a couple of mentally-ill people like that nazbol mexican and that samefag spammer idiot in /meta/ who generate that animosity and lead mods to suspect everyone who criticizes them is a leftychan baby. Or, when people with idenities do it, it becomes 'oh sage is just a wrecker' because every time he raises a complain it's shipped to /meta/ to die.
What I mean to say is, it's not as simple as an action that can be taken, a lot of it is attitude, and a lot of it is perspective. Realizing that this place is called /leftypol/ for a real reason, that's why it grew, that's why it appealed to new users, that's why it encourages conflict, that's why overactive moderation kills its creative energy, that's why the rules are specifically lenient towards people who take controversial stances instead of banning anything considered reactionary.
The closest I could give to some effective concrete action is "Here's a very short list of mods who are consistently ruining the site, as evidenced by literally years of /meta/ complaints against them and approximately none against other mods, get them to ease up and obey the site rules or kick them out" ? Yeah… I don't think that's going to be taken seriously. It's not as if I'm the first to single out the ones banning people for made-up flimsy reasons.
A second would be to force ban reasons to specifically cite the broken rule and to reject reports that aren't obviously citing one. No vague nonsense like "/pol/" and "low-quality posting" and "reddit spacing and fuck redbrown alliance". Hell, even have the rules listed on the ban form so you can copypaste them. Super easy.

I know this for a fact because I was the boosting most of these initiatives as a user myself.
Could we change mod policies, personnel and actions? Sure and you are right to criticise on that. But come the fuck off,

I feel like this website does not have the userbase necessary to maintain its current boards, not to mention new ones. There should be a general consolidation of "lifestyle" boards (hobby, tech, games, anime, music, draw, AKM) which can then be self-sustained through threads and generals with differing subjects. This has the advantage of encouraging "cross-pollination" instead of the current ghetto emphasis, which makes for better discussions (people who go on anime, for example, either are really into it or go there to troll, with no inbetween; it being on a board with other subjects may bring people to the discussion who otherwise wouldn't bother).
The only boards this site really needs are a main discussion board, i.e. /leftypol/, (/edu/ is debatable, but if quality of posts can be enforced on leftypol then it should be done away with; otherwise it's a good repository and should be kept alive, though there could be a "serious" overboard with just /leftypol/ and /edu/ in order to bring attention to it), /siberia/ as a containment board for terrible shitposts, a general interests (i.e. /hobby/ board), a /meta/ board for obvious reasions and /dead/ because it's funny. Any more than that is counterproductive. Those ideas suggested in the op can be fulfilled by their respective threads (maybe there could be a larger post cap on the other stuff board or something like that, in order to mitigate problems between different thread moving speeds, much like /vg/ ended up doing on 4chan). This is by no means a perfect solution, but I feel like we should be consolidating the userbase and encouraging people to interact with stuff they otherwise wouldn't bother, instead of balkanizing the website even further.
I believe the point of this website is to be a discussion board; not a leftist ghetto to hide away. It makes little sense, therefore, to make a bunch of lifestyle boards which are mostly dead anyway. Threads with discussion will be kept alive in the general hobbies board, and those without will die, as is to be expected. Maybe a larger page cap could also be a good idea (if at all possible).

Have a dedicated general for debunking and a dedicated general for arguing.

Hence he banned and deleted one IP and most of the post disappear. Personally I would have banned and deleted the entire thread so I think Wobbly showed restraint.

The anons in the thread discussed. Most of them pro-trans giving good arguments against the anon in question. Even the one you accuse of being anti-trans (no proof btw, just 'it's clear') wasn't transphobic and was asking a valid question. The thread was fine, you're just afraid of touching upon a touchy subject, just like that opening meme said. Fucking hell.

All you have to say for yourself is
>le ebin big if true while you actively delete posts from posters agreeing with me in this very thread. If you are so assured you are telling the truth why do you do this?
>but you kept the ball rolling by convincing Comatoast and Zul of your stupid plan.all i did, was speak to ALL OF THE MODS, half of which are still mods, with a plan for the posters union, which by the way, before I went to sleep, woke up and you had all had a colllective bitch fit, just under half the mods, with people from each side, agreeing.
Me and another poster were added to the mod chat without having been spoken to previously, we had no part in negotiations, no part in nothing, besides dming mods from both sides.
Again, this has all been previously discussed, your fan fiction and lies mean NOTHING and everyone can see you lying. I am not the one sitting here deleting posts which disagree with me on this issue. Why is that?

>So does this mean that any and all identities people adhere to are off limits, because discussing them is idpol? Is it not okay to ask how trans people and their beliefs stand in comparison to capitalism? Why is this the hill you want to die on? Yes. Idpol is a waste of time and a poison that plauges leftist discussion and praxis. Idk what to tell since leftypol is literally created wtih a rejection of idpol. We even go a step further to discourage if not ban any discussion of idpol itself, least we fall back into the same worthless discussions.

In your eyes if someone says "gee, I don't think the trans movement has anything to do with communism" is the same as someone posting about wanting to kill trans ppl. You literally split from the ideological origins of leftypol but did it covertly out of cowardice instead of being open about introducing an SJW turn, and you justify this to yourself by creating an opinion bubble of sycophants (protip: mostly tripfags, namefags, flagfags) on your matrix chat who suck your dicks for providing them a "safe environment," while you actively fuck with the majority of posters.
It's the dishonesty that bothers us the most. Stop lying about this being an anti-idpol site. Just be honest and say this is a pro-idpol site and criticism of idpol is not allowed, and even communist critiques are considered to be reactionary. But you don't dare do it, because you know that being open about it would turn the userbase against you.

anyway remember when specific bans used to get debated and litigated in the moderation thread and you could go in and promise to be a good boy and not to do it again, or you could argue some anon got treated too harshly because they were just speaking like an idiot and it got read the wrong way, or you could counter-argue someone saying they were a good boy by pointing out they were a prick who does this all the time or whatever.
i wouldn't throw moderation entirely to the court of public opinion, but that kind of litigation was a good thing. remember when i used to write textwalls about "discretionary moderation" or whatever the hell it was? that instead of having a clearly defined set of rules stuck to with machine-like accuracy like a moderation monetarist, you come to a subjective assessment of the situation and if you fuck up, users hit back pointing out the error.

though tbh i'm glad Ukraine came up because it's a good example of where i might say moderation was too harsh. the apparent enforcement of an anti-NATO line was silly and is probably one reason the threads keep devolving into boring idpol arguments, rather than boring foreign policy fedjacketing.
the basic dynamics of the site and of the soviet-aligned left more generally preclude adopting a pro-NATO line, and simple redtext mockery would be sufficient to protect that if one was really paranoid. in those circumstances, the best thing to do would be to leave it up to the userbase to slug it out.

Arguing about one being worse isn't the point - the point is to understand that the systems are different, present different challenges, and need to be combated in different ways. Tucker is more KKK than nazi.

I say
/health/ - board for fitness, diet, mental health, medication, supplements, herbs, first aid info (where more personal touch than would go if in /edu/), healthcare registration advice type topics since otherwise these just wind up on /leftypol/ or /siberia/ and seem out of place on both. Drugs also should go on such a board since no point in distinguishing between medication and recreational drugs helps keep the knowledge in one place. Watching sports should go on /tv/ not grouped with fitness stuff like /grass/ while playing sports could go on /hobby/ since not all sports are very fitness inducing so they shouldnt be split part in /health/ and part not. The playing versus watching sport divide i feel would be fair and logical since it's totally different mindsets between these groups.

Watch as this thread descends into mods defending their shitty bans and insisting they can't improve if you don't point out the specific problems - and then banning people who actually point them out. This website is fucking finished
No.24076
>>24075it's a sign of immaturity not to be able to take criticism, learn and grow. but instead insist you did nothing wrong or that your actions are impeccable. most mods are underage or still in their "young adult" stage of life and have no idea what they're doing beyond "I don't like it, therefore I can remove it because I have the power to do so"
how many users have left because of wvobbly, pasquale and moody and their knee-jerk reactions and "delete by IP"? moderation thread is full of "you got caught up when we were dealing with spammers" (or /pol/ or whatever). nobody wants to post on a website where if they say the wrong thing, or if a mod doesn't understand what the person wrote, all of their posts get deleted. it's worse than reddit, because at least you get banned from a single subreddit, here you get a site-wide ban, even /meta/. when you complain in /meta/ abort your ban, they ban you for "ban evasion", despite the OP of the moderation thread saying "dispute your bans here".
e.g.
>>>/meta/23777>Technically I have you by rights on ban evasion there's nothing worse than an internet forum moderator. they get a tiny bit of "power" on an insignificant corner of the internet and love abusing it. it's all the people who are bullied IRL, can't stand up to others, meekly say yes, sir, no sir, and avert their gaze. but as soon as they come here they pretend they're some big shot and take out their impotence and frustrations on users.
No.24077
>>24076Exactly.
I honestly think I'm done with /leftypol/.
Years ago, when most of these mods probably weren't even in fucking high school, earlier iterations of this website had quality posters that did so much to educate others. The quality of the site has dropped like a rock as people who know better leave.

They don't care about the site, the left, anything at all besides the fact they get to mod here and making it how they want.
Its honestly a sick parody of my experience with most IRL leftist groups. A group of people build something new and cool, attractive to lots of people, then some bunch of insane trots or whatever sink their teeth into it, suck the life out of it, destroy everything that made it good in the first place, and then double and triple down on everything. They have fanatical ideological beliefs and absolutely nothing matters but their implementation, even if it is to the obvious detriment of all.
Think the UK labour party under Keir Starmer.

Does anyone else question how roulette is done? I feel like roulette should just be renamed whenever it has a monthly topic and give it some denotation in the name to signfy it's roulette. I just dont feel like many people even remember to check /roulette/ to see what it is about and even if they do it's not entirely clear what's going on.
No.24113
Sorry, I accidenctally pressed the button. Ignore:
>>24112Anyway, I was just thinking: why not make the roulette board a bulkanize board? It would let us see if whether or not it's a good idea, we can still keep the original boards if things go bad, and we can give the balkanize board a head start by importing threads.
If we do that I'm pushing for the merge of /games/ and /anime/, maybe call it /entertainment/
>>24106>>24007I love porn, but we shouldn't do that. Porn boards don't actually contain conversations &'re just places to dump what you're into.
i>>1280561
We shouldn't. /siberia/ functions well as a higher quality of /b/, banning porn would hurt the board since what "should be deleted" will fall under a slippery slope.
Also porn makes the pph increase which encourages the use of the board, the problem with /games/, /anime/, and /tech/ – are that they feel/are dead and it no one wants to be the one person to revive the board(s).
