How do we know BO isn't a black hat/ bot?
Moderation shouldn't be nearly so impossible as it has been made to seem. There is no reason to keep going back and forth between nonsensical moderation and zero moderation– but that's precisely the game that has been played.
That isn't an explanation of a sound process. Surely you'll agree that it's not implausible that the attempt to control this board would be made. We must be vigilant. The entire global part structure is threatened– so the attempt to control this board (where media and internet domination are key strategic points)
would therefore seem to be a given….So shouldn't we be wary by default?
And the "issues with moderation" arte a perfect front you allow AI control to flourish. I don't see any reason why moderation is inherently so difficult as to entail, at all times either
Arbitrary and often anti-rational moderation
or
No moderation at all
The most likely explanation is that BO is fostering a bad environment intentionally. In any case, it certainly needs to be seriously addressed as a possibility. It's folly to treat it as if it is too crazy to discuss.
Every single bread is filled with a great preponderance of garbage. This is undoubtedly intentional. Lack of proper moderation allows this community to be derailed.
The idea that "censorship" is a pressing problem is a cover for allowing this board to be controlled by garbage. AI can produce an unlimited volume of garbage, and therefore non-moderation is all to the advantage of the AI. Our purpose is THE MISSION. This is war– war always entails a tightening up, because fair play goes out the window. Therefore, we need to strategize how to have effective moderation.
