@PetterFriberg That deals mostly with comments of being rude. What interests me more is the daily work of a moderator. Let's say I have a bunch of many comments under an answer/question. How do deal moderators with it. Throwing all away, delete some specific comments...giving up >:) ? Are there guidelines?
Thanks! Y'all are awesome (well, I haven't been keeping up the past couple months, but I assume it's safe to extrapolate based on past results). If there's nothing else, I'm going to re-retire this account.
How do you find out about the town halls? Should we advertise them other places? (And yes, I realize this is kinda exactly the wrong audience to ask that to, but... I'm here right now.)
Yes there's a cure and I'm repeating complete cure for type 2 diabetes, but any of health practitioners and specialists won't accept to hear about it because the empire of evil represented by pharmaceutical industry emperors will lose their billions.The cure was available since beginning of 20th ...
@ShadowWizard There is, in that it will record the history differently in the history that mods can see, and it'll show "automatically suspended" as opposed to "manually suspended" to other users and the user themselves.
@ShadowWizard .The cure was available since beginning of 20th century by Pro.George Lakhovsky who has been killed is a mysterious car accident in New York, the miraculous invention is multi waves oscillator Judge for yourself...
This thing, the wave oscillator, was meant to cure cancer, supposedly. Now it shall also cure diabetes... Whatever.

@Narusan the crucial part is, is the answer author affiliated with the product? If so, it's pure spam. If not, maybe someone who really thinks it can be a cure, hence posting what appears to be answer.
@ShadowWizard No, there isn't. But so far we have deleted every false treatment endorsement as spam, no matter whether affiliation was clear or not. That isn't documented though
@ShadowWizard I am unsure whether users that post false claims, dubious conspiracy theories and - at beast - insufficient treatment or harmful treatment at worst via a purchase site deserve the benefit of doubt whether it is actually spam or not.
@Narusan The problem is that even the "empire of evil" claim is defendable. Novartis has now officially stopped research against multi-resistant germs.
I think I remember reading somewhere long ago about someone who invented a super battery, which was assassinated by cellular phone companies as such battery would means loss of billions for them.
@ThorstenS. Depends on the site and how much time you want to spend ;). I get the impression IPS is pretty high maintenance for a beta, and it takes at least 30 minutes each day just cleaning comments
I must admit if a comment gets flagged on a post, I check all the answers + the question for a comment clean up
@ThorstenS. moderators do discuss problems in private, if you're not sure there's always ways to reach out for a second opinion. Most of that does happen via chat. I personally like to ask the community whenever I feel it's not something that needs another mod's opinion, so I'm very active in chat. If you don't want too, you don't need too, but chat is the easiest way to communicate
Just remember chat is asynchronous, so don't expect replies immediately :)
@ThorstenS. that's indeed probably depending on personality. Do you feel that the tasks you're doing as a regular user are stale? Of course you sometimes feel like it's a chore... But you can always take a day or week off, that's why you're on a team!
I'm a relatively new mod, haven't hit the boring phase yet. I have hit a week where I was disappointed with the way the community was going, and took a little break
@ThorstenS. also, if you're already planning on getting into it with another mod, just wait until you've been on the moderator side for a while, where your votes are binding and decisions not as simple as they seem ;)
I'd like to keep answering questions, but it's bedtime :D
