I remember specifically deleting posts that said Covid came from a lab. I was reluctant to do this but finally all the experts were saying this was factually incorrect and disinformation. If something is 100% false we will remove it. Turns out it wasn't.
Wait, what? Are you saying you now believe COVID came from a lab?
While a lot of what we try and get a handle on is posters insulting one another or being disrespectful to one another, the biggest issues for moderators besides making the judgement call on post reported to us, are a handful of posters who are obsessed about a particular issue and essentially make the boards much worse off because of it. They try and hijack the boards for their own obsessions.
Right now there is
1) A poster posting over and over about Nico Young's personal life. Not only are the posts homophobic but the person is sidetracking probably at this point hundreds of threads with this stuff. We ban the poster, etc, but they keep coming back for more. So if you see any posts like this the best you can do is report them.
2) A poster this week has probably started 50 threads saying we are unethical. We tried to engage in good faith but they kept doing it so we now are just removing these.
3) There is always the poster who starts threads about California, San Fransisco, computing, Semetic races, etc. Very obsessive behavior. Has gone on for years. They are very computer savvy. We ban and delete on a daily basis.
As always if you have anything and want to make sure we address it please email me
I believe that these occasional attempts by Wejo to address moderation are nothing more than listening sessions, which might have some utilitarian value as a sign of him being well intentioned but ultimately result in little to no change. And they are in a very difficult position here as it is impossible to please everyone. However, I too have participated in the ridiculous BBC threads because, as Wejo alludes to, Deno has said some things we don’t like. Well what Deno has done is trash homosexuals repeatedly. Let us not sugarcoat it as something we do not like. And Greg is always starting threads looking to get a reaction and then reporting posters. I think we should all, myself included, recognize that posting here is a privilege, even if we dislike other posters, and not a right, and that we can forfeit that right by our behavior.
I’m not saying the mods agree with the KKK on everything. But IF this board WERE moderated by the KKK, a very similar set of posts would be allowed/deleted.

There's some stats on the link I provided that would lend some evidence to this. Not sure why you would delete 5-6x more posts than are reported without there being some sort of bias. Maybe there is a logical reason though, I'm not a moderator.
Unique Posts Reported 260,541
Posts Deleted 1,360,259
they delete 4000 posts EVERY day? That's ridiculous.

Deno isn't the problem here. He has a stalker who makes at least 20 vulgar posts at least 20 times a day every day. If Deno doesn't have a live thread going the stalker starts new threads attacking Deno. The same thing with the Greg harassers Check out the 3rd post in this thread..
Feel really good about this particular play will bet my Jim Brown, Barry Sanders and Cookie Gichrist rookie cards, all in mint condition. Would ya believe Paul Brown talked about another running back he would have traded Jim...

I'd point out that the repeated postings that eventually get deleted are virtually always under unregistered userids. Something to think about.
Yes that is true but we do abandon something we believe in, anonymity because probably less than 5 people really abuse it.
We are thinking of ways to combat it.
Apply keywords and phrases lookups to unregistered names. Such as, "Chicago", "killings", "theft", "democrats", "demorats", etc. If two or more keywords occur then provide a popup that requires the poster to attest (a checkbox) that the post is not racist, derogatory, slanderous, etc ... along with a warning that if the attestation is false their IP will be banned (short term, long term, permanent). This allows for the anonymity you want, and makes it easier for the mods to catch constant abusers because they can match IP reoccurrence to false attestations. Also, the keywords and phrases can be added to and updated as required by LRC. ... It might be harder to catch people using VPNs but I think you'll notice a trend in the offensive posts and adjust the keywords and phrases lookups to deal with those people.
By the way, please flush out the ancient IP bans that no longer serve any purpose. The original people who got those bans are long gone, or managed to get their IPs changed, or they moved. One idea is instead set time limit of a few months to a IP ban as a "pending permanent ban", if the same IP continues to abuse then extend the ban (maybe to one year), on a third abuse then make it a permanent ban (3 strikes).

So Deno’s bashing of homosexuals is OK? I guess that must be your view Malmo.
Malmo cannot see that he protects certain posters ... you got punched so punch them back. Deno's "issues" can be dealt with by providing a popup warning him to not feed-the-troll by defending himself by making a vulgar post. ... In K-12 schools this is called throwing the second punch. The second puncher is not innocent. Defending yourself by starting with a third punch keeps you out of detention as long as you stop fight before causing any harm (don't break an arm because you were punched twice).

I haven't seen it. If you find it report the post.
Because "you" haven't see it is part of the problem on LRC. You are not a moderator. You would have to read every post on LRC (not recommended) to witness everything that was posted before it was deleted.

There's a pizza place near me that's banned (the wifi is - can't get cell reception) because someone typed the name "A marjeet" into the username. So now if I'm waiting in line, I can't post on LRC
