So is this staunchness restricted to vaccines within a certain development timeframe and if so where does your staunchness border lie? Or are you just ideologically pro-polio?

A ‘Time out’ sub called, ‘A bag of dicks’ containing a roll call of temporarily detained members?

Moderation is a form of parenting, at an open arms orphanage that accepts toxic pathological psychopaths. It’s a tough gig.

I used to mod a NZ sub, small enough, under 2000, solo-mod. Banned 5 people over 2 years. It’s hard to quantify ‘toxic’ but whether it’s a conceit or a gift I simply trust I know it when I see it.

I went dark over the Steve Huffman spez behaviours and have extended the shutdown given his response thus far. I’m personally less than enthusiastic about modding as a group dynamic exercise.

I’m the sort of person who would have to be paid to take others seriously. That said the best moderation comes from larger groups with tight rules [like some of the hard science subs] Studied moderation since the internet began in sociological, psychological, game theory, studied all the fallacies etc etc.

Decades ago there was a site called NewsVine that operated with a code of honour which surprisingly worked in that it allowed people with conflicting views the ability to converse.

I don’t think a proper wheels yet been invented re a moderation template.
Just build something and tweak it as it goes I guess. Good luck.

order his troops to try…yep sounds about right. “Hey…Um…Troops…could you try?”
