This will allow an easy method of contacting all moderators at one time.
  • Users:
    • If you spot what you believe to be a duplicate post, please post a link to it here. In addition, include a link to what is being duplicated.
    • If you find a post you think belongs in a different forum, let us know.
    • Avoid multiple reports of spam:
      • If a user's posts are all spam, report the user, not the posts.
      • Review this thread after submitting a report. Please delete your report if someone beat you to the punch.
    • Any other post that you think requires moderation (violations of Guidelines, broken BBcode, etc.).

  • Moderators:
    • Please delete posts after you've addressed them.
Thanks in advance.

User: jackfrostenson
Reason: Looks kinda bot-ish to me

Looks like a spam magnet to me. I expect to see spam posts for properties in Turkey from new users any time now.
I've posted a warning. The banhammer is close by. -- Neddyseagoon.

Maybe I'm too wait and see in my old age.

Topic: vimb browser not working because libsoup messed up
Post: post 8793760
Reason: This suggestion is unhelpful to the point of being borderline dangerous. This is not the first time that a tangent has been taken to shill their shim approach to unrelated packages.

That's is far from settled. That's a manipulation to prevent me from responding. If I do, it'll come as I don't respect Sam. I won't respond for completely different reason, however. I just don't have a response that can make a positive difference in this man's behavior. I sincerely recommend to people not to engage with him. Engaging only makes things worse. If you don't have the patience and the nerves to calmly counter or dismiss his claims, just let someone else handle it or let it just fade away. There always is someone with a clever response that disarms people like that.

Regards,
Georgi

That wasn't the intention. I saw that sam_ reported my post, so I decided to stop the discussion out of respect for him, as I saw it annoyed him.
Feel free to open a thread in gentoo chat or contact me otherwise if you want to continue the discussion, but please don't call my attempt at deescalation "manipulation", as it's rude and uncalled for.

stefan11111, logrusx,

Metadiscussions like this are often best held out of the public gaze.
That's why much of the admin/mod work is not visible in the forums.

You have both made valid points - that's fine.

Please take it to PM if you feel that there is still some misunderstanding between you.

Topic: [split] On courtesy
Post: post 8802048
Reason: "[...] is indicative of a man who believes that he is a woman. This is mental illness, bordering on self-mutilation and child abuse"

This has got to stop right there and now. No discussion.

Headed off in PMs. The topic will be locked if there are any further posts -- Neddyseagoon
[There was a further post, and the topic is now locked (by Neddy). -Hu]

Topic: Ricing gentoo
Post: post 8802169
Reason: Called it.

Barely 5 days in and already calling for a heavy-handed moderation.
The best thing about FGO has always been that it's based on good will and NOT on moderation. You guys have been doing a great job for many years. What you've been doing does work. Please, please, please, don't get used as a tool for killing a good community.

@szatox, we've responded about the complaint in the topic.
So far nothing needs a "moderative" action.
