>>36480>>39783Isn't it tiresome dealing with these bad faith idiots? It's the same people who post the "Lasalle is a JN" quote and the Gorky quote about "kill homos to end fascism" and use it to justify their imbecilic chauvinism. Just the laziest appeals to authortity. Marxists like Marx because of his critique of political economy. Chauvinists ignore his critique of political economy and dig up random quotes from his private letters in order to lend authority to their reactionary social attitudes.
Then we have the never ending menace of tor posters poisoning the discourse with the same endless lazy trolling. "silly dxmcels can't understand CEOs are proletarian" and so on

Tossing in nominally socialist / AES Communist Party members would be the only way possible to counteract Western capitalist glowies, and it would do a lot for credibility if, as usual, we suspect Western glow, but there are anti-Western glowies sitting on the mod staff monitoring things and acting to, within their ability, counteract perceived Western government glow.
In the radical politics field, glowing is inevitable, but we can have some red glow as a neutralizer.
Once again, no objections?

The thread is about drug related art, this type of reply does not fit in it and neither does it abide the fucking rules:
11) Posts should, overall, be conductive to an informed and productive discussion
It is neither of those.
13) /leftypol/ is committed to the ideal that the left should have an avenue for open discussion …
Again, this
>>40606 in the pic
is not open discussion, the thread itself is not meant to be a general for discussion - it is for drug themed art.
14)
a) argue under false pretences ("false flagging")
As seen in "I smoked weed once and it made me schizophreniac" this is obvious bullshit.
b) imply reactionary or false positions of the userbase as a form of group shaming
These types of replies in peculiar target drug users and are made to stigmatize them.
c) are of an overly derisive and mocking nature
The reply itself is just slander meant to derail the thread and take up space.
d) are of a gratuitously offensive or hysterical
nature
This is seen in the beginning, weed cannot cause schizophrenia from simply smoking it once.
e) are debating inherently reactionary topics
where no reasonable debate is possible
There is no debate possible with slander in the likes of
>>40606 since its simply insults meant to derail the thread, it is bait.
f) are low effort sectarian bait rather than good faith discussion
Same as before, referring to
>>40606 pic
g) are likely to create pointless and unconstructive arguments about ‘idpol’ (as defined in Article 1).
The reply is purposefully created to waste time about identity politics I.E. "Deny Weed, Refuse Weed", no less different than per say "deny faggotry, refuse degeneracy"
So why are you not enforcing the rules? This is not an isolated case as you have the same types of replies coming on the war on drugs general which is meant for serious discussion and analysis, the example being picrel which was obvious bait trying to simplify the war on drugs to "holy shit I hate weed" - there is nothing worth debating with these types of replies since they only serve to derail the discussion. It is in no way different than a /pol/yp coming over to the Palestine general with a slogan "kill all mudslims". Why the fuck aren't you all enforcing the rules after the already numerous reports?
>>40636is this your shit excuse for refusing to moderate the site then?
Site deserves to die at this point. all who are left are /pol/cks, obsessive sliders and mentally handicapped people with personality disorders.

Who auto-saged this thread:
https://leftypol.org/leftypol/res/2212113.htmlI'm not the OP of this thread, but posted a few replies there, and I don't understand the impetus for the auto-saging.
OP is arguing a particular point of view that sheds an interesting light on why Trump would do something that seems at first glance extremely irrational in the current global market. OP provides a bunch of reasons why, and analyze the strategy behind these bewildering moves.
OP doesn't seem to be pro-Trump at all if you read the whole post, actually OP is skeptical that Trump's plan could work at all, and also provides several reasons why.
They wrote the OP in a particular way that is the proper funny and semi-ironic way to generate discussion on an imageboard, with a Porky image on top of that, but the reason given for the auto-saging was:
>Implying America isn't a political circuswhich seems more in line with the way discussions are conducted on Twitter and Reddit, where in most communities you have to be fiercely against or for something, and there is no room for
nuance, the very thing that is badly missed in the current social media landscape.
I don't think anyone in the thread implied Trump is some sort of god emperor. America is indeed a political circus, but a political circus that makes a ton of money, and it's important to understand how they make that money. Know your enemy and so on.
It's okay to make mistakes as a mod, I did some myself in the community I used to moderate, and I know auto-sage can be revoked, so I think it should be revoked, because the OP was
a good elaborate post about an important and complex subject.
We need more moderation on latam
go on
>>>/latam/6376 and do a ctrl+f on "hetero", there's a guy who's 24/7 on the thread spamming shit on why straight males should die, gay people should have an own ethnostate and so on. Some days he will change his persona and post nazi or ancap shit instead
>>40674It didn't break a rule.
Can one of the other admins unlock this thread?
https://leftypol.org/leftypol/res/2212113.htmlAsking again why is this thread locked?
Can an admin who wasn't the one to lock in give a reasonable explanatio , or is this just a case of not wanting to question other admins actions cause you're all mates on matrix now?
>>40694>>40703Its the fact that the mods went to the trouble of making a list of 'ordinances' about what was not allowed and then just decided they were gonna allow individual mods to do whatever they want anyway,
The economic thing is worrying, it seems like there's a certain mod who will try to get rid of stuff if he doesn't understand it.
Later they will complain about the lack of effort posts
>>39778I was banned for arguing against someone who was essentially saying the Muslims are too "stupid" to criticize within their own culture while people in Palestine are being bombed. This is obviously incorrect, so I posted real news articles and current events like anti-Hamas protests in the West Bank being reported on by Palestinian Christians. I also posted examples of actual Palestinians musicians and artists challenging reactionary tradition within their own culture (most of them have been forced out of their home by Hamas as part of their crackdown on music) so being told that Palestinians talking about their own culture is "Zionist propaganda" by some white suburban janny is very stupid and racist.
The topic of women's rights also appeared so I posted one of the several examples of people in the Taliban mutilating girls for resisting being sold off as sex slaves. This is also apparently "Zionist propaganda" meaning that the "ZOG" just paid multiple women to be beaten to near death and have their ears and nose cut off for running from their forced marriages? If you honestly believe that, I strongly question your knowledge of the region and Islamic history. It seems like that person is just consuming tuber shit into supporting endless ethnic violence and war.
The core of my argument is that if you actually give a shit about the people in these regions, you would criticize the reactionaries within the ethnic group as well and promote the more progressive, secular factions within it instead of larping as a jihadist. One of your staff thinks that any criticism against these organizations, who do not represent the majority of people there (actual Zionist propaganda they use to justify blowing up children) since they don't hold elections and they're represented by a small caste of self-anointed religious leaders, is somehow equivalent to "promoting Zionism," meaning the violent displacement of those people by Israeli settlers. I challenge you to point to where I made that claim, because you can't, so instead you have to call me a Zionist for caring about people in the Arab world and not just promoting them as a puppet for an inner desire for a race war. This is just blatant falsehood by the janny that gave me a ban and abuse of power.
And if it's the wrong general for that, well it was left up for days, so the argument is free game.
>haha but I found that story being reported by CNN or some Israeli news!Well obviously. They'll promote anything that makes those governments look bad. The difference is that there is an Afghanistan woman with her fucking nose chopped off standing right there telling people instead of bogus claims of putting babies in ovens. But the janny can't seem to pull enough neurons together to make that distinction, so instead RT and AL Jazeera is "real unbiased news" and everything else is Zionism.
Also, the tagline for this board is "ruthless criticism." The liberal, idpol mod needs to study more and flex his dimwitted authority less.

It's like one janny or admin just woke up before going back to the cagie, and decided, "I don't like this one in all the pile of shit", the pile of shit where randos imply mods are pedos, where there is /pol/ infiltrators in geopol threads running free everywhere on the main board, posts that routinely break rule 13, and what all this shit get is an autosage, a little spank on the butt.
Is this your plan? Congrats then, you just impeded discussion when it happened, because (You) seem to be able to have enough absolute dialectic capacities to read a thread from start to finish in order to get an absolute monastic judgement on it and keep your own ego in check to do a great job for the well-being of the community by doing the right action for us as a whole. And you might probably wear this whiff of sarcasm as a badge of honor in the future, so again, be my guest, you are the honored one today.
Fuck dude, we were talking about AI and art, why do you have to get your panties in a twist (again) for such a normal subject, why?
You don't trust the community? To BTFO milady agents on the spot, like we did on 8chan, with neo-nazis? I guess I need to GTFO then, because we all did our part.
If you want to be nannies for a bunch of babbling children, enjoy transforming .org into what the previous splitting party became. Try to be careful with your actions and please ban more reactionaries instead of nuking threads like this, without any warning ffs.

>>41330LeftyPol is radlib.
They complain about idpol and bourgeois college student antics but the truth is, most of their theory reeks of radlib.
And there's history of radlibs evoking rightist sentiments. Some even working with them.
All the complaining about the right wing zeitgeist is paradoxical. They're becoming the zeitgeist they hated
>>41336that's such an abuse, and the sad thing is there's no accountability of the mods here to actually punish the mod that did this.
Would not be surprised at all if the person posting racial slurs was the mod themselves and you rattled them so much they went nuclear
>>41362to add to this…I've been using leftypol since the 8chan days. I believe the entire point of this website was to offer an alternative to the overly moderated reddit spaces and the overly racist and reactionary 4chan spaces.
the fact that someone can get banned for *questioning racism* and then permanently banned for daring to 'sass' a mod, goes against what I believe the spirit of the board is.
As a user, I support the reinstation of this user and would like one of the mods to respond to this as well as identifying the mod in question that initiated the ban
I'm posting these not for my own sake, but to ensure the quality output of the community doesn't encounter major issues.
I think my arrival has affected some people. They might believe I'm some troll from 4chan or Reddit, and that all the Chinese posts are from me alone. But I am genuinely Chinese. I’ve done a lot of self-verification—I only have two IPs, one for my computer and one for my phone. The other Chinese posts are from different people.
I know most people can spot bait, but a minority might be misled into thinking that people from distant, sparsely populated countries on Earth would visit and share their opinions. Since they’re locals, their credibility might seem higher—which could tempt some to seek greater discursive weight, even though they could just share their experiences as Westerners on other platforms. Of course, there might also be people from forums that have some friction with leftypol. I have no interest in forum raids. If it’s just harmless jokes, it’s whatever, but they could very well mislead many people.
The rules I’m referencing include the following. I ask the mods to consider handling these posts where people pretend to be foreigners to avoid misleading more users:
>2) Spam and malicious flooding is banned.
>4) Pretending to be multiple users ('samefagging')
>11) Posts should, overall, be conducive to informed and productive discussion.
>14) To ensure a basic level of quality, topics or posts will not be tolerated when contributions are not conducive to well-intentioned discussion.
Honestly, I’ve also tried to avoid letting my ethnic identity influence things too much. I identify myself to let people know that my perspective might differ from others, and of course, I’m also unfamiliar with Western forum culture—plus, my AI translations might have errors.I’ve tried not to overemphasize my ethnic identity. At this point, an outsider would probably just assume I’m some Western Twitter user with nonsensical Chinese in their name.
我发这些不是为我自己考虑，而是为了社区的质量产出不会出现大的问题
我想，我的到来影响了一些人，他们可能认为我是4chan或者reddit来的某个串子，所有的中文都来自我一个人发的。不过我真是中国人，我进行了很多的自我论证，我只有两个ip，一个电脑一个手机，其它的中文都是其它人发的。
我知道大部分人能分辨钩子，但是可能少数人会被误导，认为会有一些地球上遥远而人口较少的国家的人会造访并发表自己的意见，由于他们是本土人，自然可信度要高一些——这可能吸引了某些人想要获得更多的的话语权重，虽然他们本可以到其它平台分享他们作为欧美人的经历。当然可能也有人来自一些和leftypol有点矛盾的论坛的人，我对这些论坛突袭没有兴趣。如果只是单纯的玩笑，这便无所谓，但是他们很有可能会误导很多人
我引用的规则有这些，请mods考虑处理这些伪装成外国人的帖子，避免他们误导更多的人
>2) Spam and malicious flooding is banned.
>4) Pretending to be multiple users ('samefagging')
>11) Posts should, overall, be conductive to an informed and productive discussion.
>14) To ensure a basic level of quality, topics or posts will not be tolerated when contributions are not conductive to well-intentioned discussion.
老实说我也尽量避免自己的民族身份影响更多，我标识自己是为了告诉人们我的认知可能和他人有所不同，当然也不熟悉欧美论坛环境，以及自己的ai翻译可能会出问题。我尽量避免了民族身份的过分突出，现在一个外来者更多可能只是以为我是一个用不知所谓的中文做名字的欧美twitter用户

>>41384>>41385I'm a semi-regular user and remember when you introduced yourself in the /PRC/ thread, I've never seen anything rule-breaking from you that I can recall.
I have no issues with other chinese posters using the website, but I don't know how easy it would be for the mods to moderate their content with the language barrier, but we do have a latin board so it's probably not an issue. (Personally I think the mods always do a bad job anyways.)
I'm not entirely sure what you are worried about, I think your contributions to the site are good.
if it is just other people complaining about seeing chinese text on the site, I would just let them complain. People will complain on this site for literally any reason, it would be a waste of effort to try and stop it.
>>41388 I will try to explain to some new users on the site, especially my fellow countrymen, that this is bait. It would obviously be better if the mods could keep such things at the level of "beautiful scenery" and "amusing everyone," and step in when things get out of control, mislead others, or affect the quality of the forum.
I know moral preaching doesn't carry much weight on an anonymous imageboard. As for those who may have personal grievances against me (though I hope they realize they're anonymous), even if their issues are as simple as "your presence annoys me," and they use that as motivation to post—well, it still generates traffic for Leftypol, doesn't it? After all, most users can distinguish facts and will stand on the side of reason when appropriate, rather than acting purely on emotion.
>>41388 Although there are hardly any Chinese people here now, if things change, I will inform other Chinese at an appropriate time about the concerns users of this website have regarding a large-scale virtual migration of Chinese—though it's more likely that they won't come at all.
虽然现在中国人几乎没几个，但如果出现变动，我会在合理的时候告诉其它中国人网站用户对大规模中国虚拟移民的顾虑——虽然更有可能是他们根本不会来
呃，有些洋人真难伺候，，，
>>41390Why do you think you represent the board?
Fact is the majority of users came to leftypol because we didn't want an overly modded circlejerk.
crying here because you had to post in the same thread as someone is just pathetic and I don't know why the mods have pandered to this weak whining shit for the last year.
>>41453So are mods going to explain WHY they were removed? its not like it was all one person spamming constantly, it was an organic trend of siberia posters making posts of the same format over a few days. What rule was broken?
If this is not what an off-topic board is for, what the fuck is it for? thousand word essays on political economy? we already have two boards for that.

I understand the m0ds want to not slow down the rate of posting but has your recent attempts been good for the site?
Maybe trying to sacrifice quality for quantity doesn't work out that well.
>>41659there is no such thing as a quality-quantity tradeoff.
quality is a moderation problem, quantity is a "people actually know the site exists and doesn't suck" problem.
(this works both ways: not moderating bad posts in the interest of PPH will drive down
both PPH and quality in the long run. However, generally speaking the problem is that people believe that they can get more quality by sacrificing PPH, not vice versa.)
>>41662>will drive down both PPH and quality in the long runYes, which is what I suspect is going on.
>there is no such thing as a quality-quantity tradeoff.Let's agree to disagree.
