In fifteen minutes I found eight warnings, of which one was reversed, and many modnotes (some exceedingly lenient).

Damuri Ajashi, it is forbidden on the SDMB to mangle other posters’ quotes(particularly within the vB quote boxes):
[ QUOTE]
Text inside
[ QUOTE]tags is sacrosanct. Normal editorial rules apply: that is, you may indicate omitted portions of a quote by the use of ellipses “…” and you may add text to clarify a word using square brackets (e.g., “her [the sister’s] friend”), but you may **not ** add editorial comments or edit a quote so as to change the substantive meaning; nor may you substitute text such as “some blather” or “more nonsense” inside the
[ QUOTE]
tags.
[ /QUOTE]Do not do this again.

Warning
Damuri Ajashi, that’s more than enough personal commentary about FinnAgain. This is a formal warning: when you’re posting in Great Debates, attack the post, not the poster.
Finn Again is a stalwart defender of Israel and he has convinced himself that all his arguments are rational and that anything that conflicts with his position is based on irrationality, ignorance, or anti-semitism.
Don’t let it bother you his method of argument is only effective at getting people to stop arguing with him, its not so effective at getting people to agree with him.
Don’t let him do it. he will draw you into a debate about peripheral issues and totally ignore the issue at hand. He will pick some error you made on the margin and claim that the error proves taht youa re wrong about everything and he is right about everything.
I think it might actually kill him to ever admit that Israel did anything wrong or worthy fo criticism.

You’re a Nazi. Well, we got that out of the way.
I’m going to assume that this was an attempt at humor, but given the level of tension and hostility in this thread, I will point out that it was a very ill-considered effort.

No, you’re right it was Ryan Liam. I confused one warmonger for another.
Please don’t make personal comments like this in Great Debates.

Warning
You may not like the justification or think its good enough and thats fine but you can’t say they fired on civilians because that sort of lie creates doubt about everything else you say.
I think this is a good example of your overall problem. When it comes to North Korea, you’re just one tightly-wound ball of hate
You’re not allowed to say another poster is lying in this forum, and as I’ve had to note several times, personal insults aren’t allowed here. I’m giving warnings to Damuri Ajashi and Commissar, and everybody else needs to tone it down now.

I don’t mean to come across as a jerk, . . . .
Then I would strongly suggest that you refrain from making comments about the personalities or intelligence of other posters.
You have not yet crossed a bright line rule violation, (although if the lines were hot, your toes would be singed), but a cumulative effect of inserting the word “stupid” and its synonyms into too many posts is to rile up the Mods.
Damuri Ajashi, that goes for you, as well. And since I seem to recall each/both of you receiving a similar admonition from another Mod in the last day or so, I am putting you both on notice that you are about to start collecting Warnings if you continue.
Concentrate of rebutting other posters’ facts or logic and leave the commenary about their intelligence or personalities out of Great Debates.[ /Moderating ]

there are plenty of reasons why a legal education is wasted on you but this is not a reason to deprive you of one.
Comments like this don’t belong in Great Debates (and I apologize to the OP for overlooking this the first time I read the thread). You should know better than this, Damuri Ajashi - you have been warned about it repeatedly. Don’t do it again.
November 22, 2011
Modnote
As a general note to you and Snowboarder Bo and Damuri Ajashi, this is not the right forum for your issues individually. Leave the personal stuff in the Pit and stick to the facts while you’re posting in Great Debates.
November 24, 2011
Modnote
You frequently pick up on some lack of knowledge in the person youa re arguing with and use taht as a pretext to dismiss them and their opinions entirely.
No kidding. It gets unnecessarily insulting but the mods seem to think its ok.
Sorry I’ve been away, I’ve been busy at work. Did you miss me?
Damuri Ajashi, you’re lucky to get off with another note rather than a warning here. You don’t have to like Ibn Warraq or agree with anything he says, but you do have to remain civil while talking to (or about) him and not respond to any perceived provocation. This is the last time you’ll be reminded about this.

So multiple warnings for newcomer and an admonition to “cool it” for FinnAgain? Yeah that sounds about par for the course.
You’ve been here long enough to know better than this. You’re not allowed to complain about moderation in this forum.

[…] IOW, you’re running away and dodging questions. Go ahead run away. I hope you find solace in the world that you have constructed for yourself where you are right about thing you don’t even understand.
ENOUGH!
No more accusations of “running away” from the discussion. Such claims serve no purpose except to antagonize other posters.

u seem to be making the argument that these pussy ass Navy SEALS are going to half ass this part of SERE training because, well, why the fuck not?
No one has made that argument.
That is a straw man, bordering on dishonest, and has now moved into the realm of trolling, being posted solely to get a rise out of other posters.
Stop it.
[ /Moderating ]
Warning
That’s a warning for failure to obey instructions.
Keep it up. You can get more.
Reversal
Tom and I have spent some time discussing it and he agrees that he was not clear in his guidance. Because of that, I am reversing the warning for Damuri Ajashi.
This does not mean that we wish posters to consider ‘I didn’t understand it so it shouldn’t count’ as an overall viable approach to getting around moderation. Such has a low probability of having a positive outcome and I’d advise against it.

Your method of argument is so fucking ridiculous its making me fart.
here let me try your method of argument: Anyhow you’re wrong about so much stuff and even when you try to rebutt things that I say, you still manage to prove that the ignorant can never really stop being ignorant because they revel in their ignorance.
NO.
Given that Gigo was already Mod Noted for his behavior, your attempt to use his “method of argument” means that you are violating a Mod’s instructions.
So, if you do not want to incur a Warning, you will knock off this bullshit now.

Warning
So you have no idea why you are trying to tear down Asian success and excuse the lack of success in the black community. Perhaps it racism.
Damuri, we’ve debated this internally for a day or so and I’m going to give you a warning for this one. While phrased carefully, it’s hard for me not to see this as a direct attack on MrDibble.
Please don’t do so again.
April 13, 2020
Warning
“Espenshade said his research found that, controlling other factors, Asian-American applicants seemed to face a disadvantage in college admissions”
What he can’t support is the notion that it’s racism that is causing this disadvantage. When we see these inexplicable disparities with ANY OTHER RACE, we don’t really hesitate to call it racism. But with Asians, it’s just inexplicable.
People like you are why racism can continue to exist.
That’ll earn you a warning, Damuri Ajashi. Do not insult other posters.
April 14, 2020
Warning
I am more than implying you are hypocritical. I am saying that the standards you apply to find discrimination against asians is significantly higher than the standard you apply to find discrimination against other groups.
What do you call a person who thinks that a low bar of evidence is sufficient to find racism against one group but requires a higher bar of evidence to establish racism against another group
Damuri Ajashi, just yesterday I told you via PM this was unacceptable. This is a second warning.
You are also banned from PE and GD for one month. You may return on 5/14/20. Violate those at risk of your posting privileges being revoked.
October 16, 2020
Warning + Suspension
Once again, we see a pronounced tilt in moderating towards the wokest elements of the board. Kid gloves for them, strict scrutiny for everyone else.
Gigo frequently posts word salad that might make sense in his head but is indecipherable to others in the context of the post he is replying to. That is where the WTF are you talking about comes from. Noone knows wtf he he is talking about.
Disputing moderation outside ATMB is against the rules, as is ignoring moderator instructions. You are suspended pending discussion of your posting privileges. This is also an official warning.

No, you did not get anything more than a mod note, but your behavior was absolutely NOT what we want to see in ATMB. Don’t be proud of yourself for not getting a warning, because you almost did, and in ATMB, that means you were really far off the rails from where you needed to be. If I didn’t think that underneath all of your crap there was an actual issue that the board needed to be resolved, you would have received a warning. You were that close.
I very strongly recommend that you not repeat that sort of behavior in ATMB.

Modnote: This is for both GIGObuster & damuriajashi and anyone else.
You’re both making this personal and pushing the border of attacking the poster. No warnings as you’re both addressing the posts as your doing this and the insults are mostly passive and more general but inclusive of each other. But enough.So to all, no more carefully worded swipes at other posts please. Remember Attack the Post and not the Poster.

@damuriajashi, you are being formally instructed not to bump controversial threads over a month later with 0 value posts like this one:
You need to be more explicit about these elephants. Are these invisible intangible indescribable elephants that I am supposed to simply know are there because you say so? I asked “What is this thing that you think I am deliberately ignoring?” and yet you continue to say that I am ignoring something without telling me what it is you think I am ignoring.
This dumpster fire is remaining closed.

Warning issued, Bumping an old thread to take it on a hijack with Rowling is a bit much. Do you actually return to the board to just stir up shit? That is the question I’ll be asking the modloop shortly.
Meanwhile, I think this thread can stay closed. It was apparently done before this bump & hijack move.
