I posted this in "Other" but a mod deleted (ie: CENSORED) it immediately, citing that it's racist. I didn't think Talibans were a RACE! If we can't poke fun at and laugh at Talibans then we DESERVED 9/11...




YOU MAY BE A TALIBAN IF:

1. You refine heroin for a living, but have a moral objection to liquor.

2. You own a $3,000 machine gun and $5,000 rocket launcher, but can't afford shoes.

3. You have more wives than teeth.

4. You wipe your butt with your bare hand, but consider bacon "unclean".

5. You think vests come in two styles -- bullet-proof and suicide.

6. You can't think of anyone you haven't declared Jihad against.

7. You consider television dangerous, but routinely carry explosives in your clothing.

8. You were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses other than setting off roadside bombs.

9. You have nothing against women and think every man should own at least four.

10. You've always had the "hots" for your neighbor's goat.

Off-topic rant: That's lame. I lol'd when I saw it. I've been spending more time on other internet forums (non-urbex) and then I come back to UER now I find it completely odd on how restrictive the requirements are to post around here these days. It actually feels 'weird' just being on UER. The UER mods might have Utopian dreams in-mind but more realistically it's like they force totalitarian regime with vanilla discussions their #1 priority. That might be why it seems things are getting more boring around here and less people coming around.

I actually think we need less mods around here, not more. It seems the old guard of UER has simply turned into salty old cunts.

Thanks for that.

What you need to understand is that anytime anything remotely controversial is brought up, the mods get complaints from overly sensitive virgins who can't take a joke or who consider any disagreement to be an attack on their personal character.

Those same children also tend to stay away from the Politics and Religion boards, so a lot of stuff that's deleted or locked can be moved there with no problems.

When in doubt, I try to err on the side of causing another 9/11.

I don't consider you specifically be in the salty cunt list but it's the best I could think of at the time to describe what I've been seeing overall.

As for the over-sensitive virgins, have you ever thought that catering to them has enabled them to be complainers again the the future creating a vicious cycle and an increasingly boring UER? There's a big different between complete chaos and boring as hell. Unfortunately I'm seeing UER being increasingly over-moderated and starting to lean to the boring as hell side of the spectrum.

This isnt very humorous anymore... perhaps the mods should move it to another board. JK

Listen, look at what happens to sites that are not moderated properly. They get filled with /b/tards, spammed with ads, and more. Be glad that when you click on a UER forum its at least about UE. Good job mods. Because when I come looking for UE photography I want to see UE photography. Not kiddie porn and the useless waste of server space I see everywhere else. I like these forums because people can discuss UE without branching off into everything else. I dont think your post needed to be moved out of the "Other" forum, but bashing the mods has no point. They keep this site, the forum, and the users on it with professionalism in mind.

Keep up the good work mods.

I rarely find that that's the case, actually. Typically, they're complaining because that issue in particular bothers them.

Aside from this example, could you provide others proving your point of UER being overmoderated? I'm really interested in examples where we stopped a valid, productive, exploring related conversation. Since this is, after all, a website about exploring.

Other is a forum that deal with things other than exploring, which this was. You made a moral call based on the assumption that you know best and/or that we can't handle it.

The Other forum also asks that you save Political and/or Religious conversations for the appropriate forums. Another board of which I'm a member? They don't allow political or religious discussions at all.

When I deleted your thread initially, I said, "Take it elsewhere." You then told me I have a "complete lack of connection to reality" and, "May as well allow another 9/11 with your attitude!" In another PM, you suggested that I was protecting the "Talaban" (sic).

Even WITH you saying these things, I told you to post in Ask a Mod to see how the other moderators felt about the thread. You did not.

So, I hope you can understand why I'm disinclined to help you any further.

- The mod response to any thread that is even close to being about talking about ethics. Yes the topic is played out for 5+ year members here, but not everyone is a 5+ year member. This is a forum where people want to communicate. All the ethics threads are locked and new people to the site don't really get to express their opinion on the subject, only pointed to locked threads. Some recent ethic threads one's I've seen were very civil and had interesting points from fresh faces, but OMG it's ethics!

- The amount of stuff that gets grouped into that evil 'politics'. Just like the example in this thread, Fedge's post has nothing to do with politics. That's like saying I'm related to Snoop Dogg because we both smoke pot. It doesn't make sense though, and either does some of UER's overzealous categorizations sometimes. The point of Other is to talk about 'other' things. I understand the desire for no politics/religion there. The serious politics debates happen in the politics board and everyone knows all about it. But occasionally there will be some non-controversial topics loosely (by that I mean not at all) related to actual politics debate posted. It's there' anything even close to mentioning government, but not specifically politics it's condemned.

- The policy of allowing no duplicate posts at all, especially when the older ones are locked or archived. Much like my first point. New people to the site deserve to be able to participate too. Eventually ever topic on UER will be covered and people won't be allowed to post anything at all except for pictures eventually (obvious exaggeration).

Other than those examples, that's all I can think of off hand. It's not like I document these or make a list anything.

This forum is actually very small with say 20 users online on average. But it's moderated at the rate of a site with 1000 online users; site that are successful and not the train-wreck the UER mod squad is afraid of.

Like I said there's a spectrum and moderation here can be laxed a little while not having the site turn to total anarchy or no longer being a productive environment.

And I apologize for having this discussion in Meta's board. It's just where it happened. However it's not like we could talk about this in other. That'd go over like a lead balloon.

BTW, I was unaware of any of this. I just remember seeing Fedge's post in Other and then it's suddenly in Humor. However I don't communicate at all with fedge outside of public UER posts, so I find it interesting that I am not the only one that's having an issue with this.

A significant portion of our reaction is based on previous reactions from members. When a new person posts a question that's been asked several times, they are instantly bombarded with "again?", "lurk moar", and the like.

It's much easier to send even vaguely political threads to the Politics board, because it's there for a reason. Nearly all the people who post frequently to Other also post in the Politics board, so it's not like there's a huge portion of the UER populace that's going to miss the discussion. In fact, you can also get people who aren't yet full members.

Also, I have to say, when I was enmodulated on UER, I was surprised how little thread deletion there was. I was certainly under the impression that much more was going on than was actually the case, probably since plenty of people ranted about censorship on here. I'm not sure why such stories abound at certain times, but abound they do.

Anyway, if there's inappropriate deletion going on, you just go talk to a different mod, right? Or, post in Contact a Mod?
