The Cloak Room is a terrible place.
I agree 100% and wish you and others would report these posts as "right wing trolling" so i can nip them before they start something. I fully admit I may gloss over those posts due to not spending much time in CR and not knowing the current talking points/dog whistles. I know we've looked into it in the past but don't think without a bunch of customization would be able to do anything.

No, not at all. I'm saying with a topic like Brexit it turns into a left/right discussion. Yes, I'm aware of that and if I feel like reading about those topics I head to the CR and read about them. What i don't understand is how intelligent and sane posters such as yourself have this compelling need to bring politics into any and all discussions. I just can't understand how you feel even though you are completely free to discuss this at length in one part of the site it's the fucking end of the world if you can't discuss it in another part of the site. If you're at a bar with a friend and he mentions he's excited about the upcoming Ukrainian offensive do you immediately respond "yeah but Trump is an asshole and tried to break up Nato" This like much of moderating is one of those "I can't define phonography but I know if when I see it" things. When I try to determine if it is or isn't it usually comes down to opinions put in the post. A post such as "Ukrainians would be better off with more abrams tanks but GOP controlled congress has them on hold" would be ok but "fucking gop clowns should all be charged with treason and hung" would not. I generally leave tweets up that report news even if it's political, I tend to remove posts that are people's political opinions on that news. I know it seems like I'm one sided, but it's not an easy job and wherever I make the cut someone is going to be mad. My goal is to keep that thread as easily readable as possible and about the war as much as possible. Sometimes that means deleting a few posts before it goes completely off the rails.

I try my best to moderate fairly. There are days where I have plenty of free time to moderate, and other days like yesterday where I was very busy at work and with family and I didn't have time to clean up the thread. You are free to discuss those things on the CR thread on Ukraine. The problem with those discussions is they end up turning into a mudslinging left/right clusterfuck. Do you really enjoy reading a full page of "your team did this", "but obama", "but trump"? Do you think that people reading that thread don't know the russians try to influence elections in the west? Are my moderation policies going to turn the tide and let them get away with it?

Yes, obviously it's me that got my feelings hurt and not you. What is this, your 5th post crying about it?

Русский корабль - иди нахуй
You are 100% right. I feel strongly that this thread is awesome and should stay on topic. When multiple people report a post for being off topic I feel I should remove them to keep the thread on topic. And you know what?

I went out to eat with my best friend, his older brother and their dad when we were in our 20's. His dad played pro football and i was terrified of him when I was a little kid. Some kids from a neighboring table were running around and screaming. Friend's older brother to his dad "That's how we acted when we were little." Dad: "I would have beat your ass to a pulp if you acted like that"- So uh..Austin Subway*, Light Rail Expansions and $3.2 - $10.2 Billion
