You started debating the term Genocide in the last ATMB thread. That is not how ATMB works. **ECG** , The Mod in charge of ATMB explained that. How are you somehow not getting this? I’m not sure what your point was, but you were speaking from authority about what Genocide means and explaining it to another Moderator at that. That is not an #About This Message Board topic. I believe this part of the post from you is the main reason the thread got closed. > [@Why is this board trying to downplay the Gazan genocide?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-is-this-board-trying-to-downplay-the-gazan-genocide/1025856/11): > > That may have been a concern at first, but as Kimstu and I have shown there is no reasonable doubt that this is genocide, no matter which definition you want to use. UN agencies, Human Rights organisations and genocide experts all agree that it is a genocide. The moderator (Puzzlegal) that has patiently been Moderating the thread in question explained her reasoning and the rules. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-we-no-longer-allowed-to-discuss-rules-and-moderation-in-atmb-anymore/1026147)._
