I know we all get tired of meta posts, but this has been a complaint for ages.
Can we please simplify the rules and then enforce them equally and consistently? As is, we've had pretty sporadic enforcement, where bad stuff - porn, clearly bad faith trolling, and pedophilia advocation, to name a few recent standouts - have stayed up for around a week. Meanwhile, some much less offensive stuff, from established and active members, sometimes gets taken down immediately, which just stifles discussion. (And, no, I was not moderated, this isn't me bitching about something done to me.)
This isn't Reddit; we don't need these rules. We can simplify this all down to 'no porn, no advocating illegal activity, and if you're a handshake you don't have human rights.'
Feel free to comment, fella.
I’ve found myself accidentally downvoting posts just from pressing a touchscreen to scroll or something before. If i see it I remove it, but just one possible explanation
Anything's possible, but I assume someone was being pissy.
I'm sure that happens but my most downvoted comments are the ones criticizing the way this place is run.
Edit: Again, thanks for proving my point retard (the downvoters, not the guy I'm responding to).
For some reason there's a contingent that downvotes any criticism of this board's shitty moderation. Antonio is the only one who's actually defended it in the comments.

Doubt you will get a reply. I frequently get one random downvote out of the blue as well.
But I didn't even mention the Jews. ;)
EDIT: "+5 / -1" LOL. Speak of the devil.
I know you are joking, but look at my previous comment now, or the topic I posted on Bald and Broke in Britain. One random downvote. You aren't getting an explanation and neither am I.
I'm not. I've noticed on any Jew-related posts 1-3 downvoted inevitably appear.
Yeah, not sure. Maybe some random loser hates you. Downvotes are kind of cringe.
a while back, Ihad somebody following me around for like a month, downvoting everything I posted. It was weird.
I'm not even that interesting, lol.
Same thing happened to me back when DrJester was posting under his main account. I got into a debate with him, then I come back the next day and found all of my comments, going back a month or so, all get 1 downvote. Was hilarious.
sad really.
clearly this was some sort of petty revenge, but it's so pathetic...
Yeah, but there's plenty of extra if you criticize the moderation. I wouldn't be surprised if DOM is running alts just to downvote criticism. It's typical troon behavior.
