[serious] Off Topic Moderation Input - Part 2

[Dinner]

Why haven't the mods banned themselves yet?

[MikeH]

We've got a cop, a construction worker, a native american...

[Alexander's Horse]

ballet tutu hire?

[MikeH]

That's way above the national average - what business are you in?

It's just a small company.

[MikeH]

So it wasn't the death threat that Loinburger claimed. Thanks Mike!

That was the other part of it.

[MikeH]

Who told you of these posts? I have a guess...

Yeah, was it Ben the liar?

[MikeH]

I'm not lying. I was told of the existence of the posts and what they contained. They are no longer there. Ergo they must have been deleted. If this turns out to be a misunderstanding, all the better. But I am no liar.

Well Nikolai, there are two options.

1. They were deleted.
2. The person who told you about them was mistaken / lying.

The evidence is as follows : I haven't seen them, I haven't deleted them, you haven't seen them, Sava claims he never made them.

I'm going to go with Occam's razor and assume that rather than there being some bizarre conspiracy option 2 is correct.

What I'm definitely not going to do is ban someone based on some unattributed second hand information, about some posts that don't appear to exist.

No action to be taken unless some actual evidence appears.

1/5 of my company is openly gay, so it's normal.

That's way above the national average - what business are you in?

[Ben Kenobi]

I suggest you remember that this kind of persistent anti gay posting was what got you banned last time.

So it wasn't the death threat that Loinburger claimed. Thanks Mike!

Hi, I'm a Nigerian prince.

[Nikolai]

There is no reason to involve more people into this. At nag rate, Sava and I have squared up.

[Sava]

So what will the reaction be to the death threats made by Sava, that is now deleted? Is he banned too?

You are a liar. Stop lying, liar.

What will happen to Nikolai for falsely accusing me of making death threats?

Liar.
