I am SOOOO sorry that racists are not feeling welcome on SoylentNews. It seems that janrinok want's us to be nice to them, and treat their hatred and insanity as just "a different point of view". Sorry, again, not going to happen.

That is what the moderation system is for - you have simply chosen not to be able to moderate. Don't blame the world for your choices.

The og aristarchus was shadow modbanned, you never do want to let people know that. Now you allow a user account to stay yet deny some privileges? You are a fascist, but we all knew that about the UK with its pedo monarchy.

Every account is treated in exactly the same way.
If the account breaks the rules then they receive a warning - everyone makes a mistake now and then. If they continue to break the rules on a regular basis they will be given a temporary ban, and bans grow each time they are applied. If the behaviour is continued still further then the account could be banned permanently. As far as I am aware, this has only happened in once during our 9 years of operation.
Sock puppets are specifically forbidden. They can be disabled immediately - usually the user still gets to keep one account which is sufficient for most purposes, at our discretion.
Silly name calling is simply childish.

Fuck you, janrinok! Your British imperialism is not lost on the Celts here about. Not upon the rest of the Soylentils. Accounts? You ban all ACs, and say because of "accounts"? What a queer way of thinking.

There are ACs posting in the front page stories, in the journals, and here too. You are an AC. ACs are obviously not banned.
I think we have already discussed name-calling.

Yeah but how many users know that their AC comments on front page articles are forever tied to their user account? That their comments can be deanonymized by staff who have a history of doing so?
Right, you refuse to update any of the SN pages to accurately reflect reality. Cracks me up that you still try and insist it costs $7k per year to host the site. Just $3k to go for the last 6 months!

I have now had some time to research your claims further.
You have never adversely moderated any posts by Ethanol-fueled when he posted any of his racist comments, nor did you make any critical replies. Likewise you did nothing when he made his antisemitic claims.
I have looked at many other racist and antisemitic comments by a variety of people and your response to them is noticeable by its absence.
You do not stand against racism or antisemitism - you are simply targeting a specific individual. Furthermore, you do not attack his arguments but his character, or you make wild and unsubstantiated accusations about him. That is the perfect example of a personal attack - which is not what this site is for. It is also why you are stuck trying to create discussions in an out-of-date poll.
But it appears that you are incapable of winning an argument by debate alone so you have to resort to tactics that you hope will win you support. I detest all of the comments that we are discussing and neither I nor the site support them. But demanding that we remove the right to freedom of expression from one specific community member for comments that are made by many different commentators is unacceptable. You have provided no convincing argument that we should consider such action against a single individual. Unless what you are suggesting is that we do the same for anyone making racist or antisemitic statements - but of course you would then claim that that is censorship by a right-wing fascist site, wouldn't you?.

Runaway is going off on gender studies, and guns, and the gender of guns, like a true ammosexual would. I expect that janrinok will have some stiff words to insert into

Runnyways at least has enough higher education to block pure ACs, and his nemesoi Captain America and aristarchus from commenting on his journal. If anyone really would like to know the full, and shocking, educational attainment of said Supply Puke Navy Vet, I am sure any kind of an inquiry here on SoylentNews would produce the sought after information. I mean, everything else about Runawaying's personal data has been posted here, by his own self, including his divorce, bouts of gonnerhea, Covid-19 vaccinations, and adult children moving back in. Sarah Huckabee Clinton is now his First Lady, again. Man is a complete coward. And ignoramous. Not to mention, "Arkansas normal".

And, janrinok did! He noted that Runaway is very afraid of sex, and crime, and sex-crime. Evidently he has been groomed by Faux News and Cucker Tarlson. But janrinok failed to point out the quite real grounds for Runaway's fear. This is Arkansas we are talking about, home to the Duggars, and No. 2 in number of registered sex offenders [allongeorgia.com], Fourth in overall violent crime [usatoday.com], near the bottom among states for education [nationsreportcard.gov]. No wonder Runaway is so afraid, and posts crazy and stupid things that he gets mostly from The Truth about Dumbs [amazon.com].

I wonder why that would be? Better than trying to create discussions on the lame front page articles of late! Really, janrinok, it is time to admit defeat, and resign, turn the helm over to someone younger, smarter, and better looking. Someone who can get Ncommander to do more than drive-by maitenance. Someone who has not banned users in contradiction of everything BuckFeta stood for. Someone who is not you.
And if that, perchance, is no one? So be it.

Lets look at the last 3 days shall we. 8th Feb - 81% (out of 130 comments) came from the front page, 9th Feb - 94% (out of 191 comments) came from the front page, and on 10th Feb, 58% (out of 176 comments) came from the front page. The comment counts are slowly climbing, month on month, not falling. We are still getting new members from time-to-time, and they are posting.
If we look at comment content - most of the comments in the journals are from AC making sarcastic remarks, attacking other community members, or complaining about how they cannot do something because they are AC!
If you want any more figures I am sure that you can count them yourself.
Only 1 person has been permanently banned. One account is on a temporary ban for moderation abuse. EF is NOT banned - although I think he might be a little bit preoccupied elsewhere at present.

Only one person has permanently banned a Soylentil. Jmorris went missing, showed up in January 6th. Ethanol_Funneled is a valued member of SoylentNews, just like Kowalski, but it would be better if he was not such a racist asshole and raging anti-semite. If only he could be more like Runaway, an imbecile racist and unwitting anti-semite.
Nice that we have the Polls to discuss important issues of the Day about the future of SoylentNews. I have seen the future, and it is fucked.

Good luck with new members, eventually they see the racism that never gets down modded now that so few non-racists remain and will likely bail. Or the white supremacists will just take over and NCommander will shut it down. Or not, hard to tell where staff actually are on the whole racism thing. Lots of denials paired with conflicting actions, lots of abuse targeting liberal users and lots of ehining from staff about rightwing users being criticized. After a while the patterns become clear, janrinok defends rightwing fuckery and makes false accusations, really not a good look.
As long as you defend domestic terrorism and political propaganda from rightwingers as "not illegal" while prohibiting legal "doxxing" done by runaway his own dumb self, well the hypocrisy says everything that needs to be said. Now bury this with another downmod, don't want the regulars actually catching on to your lying ways.

Runaway is doubling down with the ammosexual groomer's handbook! I guess he is not aware that Arkansas has one of the highest amounts of sex crimes, and that most sex crimes are not done by liberals, but by family members, or devout Christains (Duggars). If I were him, I would be very afraid, and maybe even keep a pistol close by, in case Gramps tried it again.

On IRC, Runaway seems to have gone the full cabbage. His mind has turned to mulch. He is sharing way too much personal information on-line.

Shouldn't these comments be modded Spam, since they are derogatory of the SoylentNews, not to mention comparing Runaway to vegetables. Whether deserved or not.
