if you have issues with the modding, here is the place to bring it up.

please link comments to be deleted in the deletion post rather than posting them here.

if making fun of a lisp, in general, is allowed, why is making it about sean connery in specific deletable?

[gaydzilla]

sean connery is an abuser and abusers are deleted on wiffu

for posterity, in case nonas troll about this kind of thing in the future and say “oh it never happens”

i don't trust this majority white comm with this and i'm sick of nonas just linking any racebent fanart and people getting deleted for not seeing what's wrong with it

there has been a trend in the past where any fanart where the characters were darker or heavier always got called a caricature because it was fine, i don't trust most nonas with this given how racist the comm has been in the past and i'm disappointed the mods give them free reign but instant delete any poc who have a problem with this attitude bc we must all be trolls

between this and the cop stan who was left up for hours i'm getting really sick of the racism that gets a pass on wiffu just bc its less overt to you

[gayvert]

hey nona, i'm sorry the cop stan was left up for so long but it wasn't linked in the deletion post for a while and i don't like checking the politics thread so i didn't see it.

we'll be more diligent about this because there's difference between linking racist racebent art by white artists and linking a black artist just drawing characters their own race

this is exactly why this mod post with ip logging "experiment" isn't working tbh

[(Anonymous)]

i like how there was still no response in the comm or on here

a simple "i'm sorry about that nonas", that's all, no excuses

[(Anonymous)]

so how many more strikes is cats gonna get

yes i'm posting a lot deal with it

[(Anonymous)]

https://warlock4warlock.dreamwidth.org/54555.html?thread=267893019#cmt267893019

someone screenshot this, they're actively lying about not seeing anything in the deletion thread even though i saw them deleting comments but not the op who just linked the racebent art after that was posted for deletion

they only deleted ppl arguing with the nonas itt about why racebent fanart was posted for mockery just by virtue of being racebent

why is it so hard for cats to genuinely say they fucked up, i don't understand this

[(Anonymous)]

i'm glad cats is finally free

[gaydzilla]

[(Anonymous)]

i wish you would do more about the nonas who clearly get off power tripping all over you

it's ugly to see

[gaydzilla]

i can understand where your concern is coming from and i have been trying to get better about putting my foot down in conversations, but unfortunately that fundamentally clashes with my desire to approach conversations with nonas on an even footing where we're both working towards solving the problem because that inherently means taking their words in good faith and assuming that they do want to be constructive and open to dialogue. that said, if i feel like a line has been crossed where it's obvious to me that this does not seem to be the case, i have definitely started expressing that more and that's an opinion shared by other mods as well and hopefully that should make you feel better about the issue.

[(Anonymous)]

im sorry but how is deleting all criticism that isnt neatly corralled in your conveniently ip logged side post out of the way not a completely shitty thing to do?

[(Anonymous)]

many of us on wiffu are sick of the mod wank in the main post and meta thread

this is a place specifically designed to hold those conversation and you're not getting deleted here so

[(Anonymous)]

why did my comment get deleted, all i did was post the comic

[(Anonymous)]

when someone is obnoxiously poopspamming all over the place, i think it would be more beneficial to turn on screening instead of simply deleting the spam and leaving

[gaydzilla]

i will let my co-mods know that screening would be preferred in those cases, sorry that you had to deal with the spam!

gonna be honest, i'm not ok with bihet trolling like what was frozen but i'm also not ok with this response to it, which is clearly referencing het attraction since it's a direct response to the trolling, and i think it should be frozen with the rest of the wank

ftr i'm bi but i come to wiffu to get away from this shit

[gaydzilla]

ia nona and i'm sorry for missing that thread.

the frozen thread should have been deleted in the first place since attitudes like that are not allowed/encouraged on wiffu but the no het rule still applies anyway, so i have deleted both.

[(Anonymous)]

help

hey guys

[nudimod]

i can mod again in the euro afternoon. i'm pretty busy so i won't always be on, but i could delete trolls when i am

Re: hey guys

[gayvert]

if you really want to be dragged back in, sure 😮

[(Anonymous)]

https://warlock4warlock.dreamwidth.org/54555.html?thread=268641051#cmt268641051 can we start deleting "get a twitter" comments, they're the most pointless form of aggro

[(Anonymous)]

i swear it used to be policy that they would get deleted

idk how that's not aggro enough to warrant deletion

[(Anonymous)]

https://warlock4warlock.dreamwidth.org/54890.html?thread=268664682#cmt268664682

how is 'get a twitter' rude enough to be deleted but every single time someone tries to start a qc thread this is fine

do you guys even enforce the aggro rule for anything you don't personally care about?

[gayvert]

we must have missed it sorry

[(Anonymous)]

why was the gillian anderson copypasta deleted?

[gaydzilla]

which copypasta is this referring to?

[(Anonymous)]

https://warlock4warlock.dreamwidth.org/54890.html?thread=268730986#cmt268730986

this is the seccond time recently that slurs against women were left up, the last time i put a deletion request in for 'th*t' and it was ignroed and my request frozen like it was dealt with. can we please delete misogyny in the main post when it's mod called? i'm concerned about it being ignored

[gaydzilla]

hi nona, the post in question seems to be deleted now but i'm sorry it was left up at first. sexist language is still very much banned and needs to be censored or warned for when used in c/p or discussion around it. i'll make sure to have a chat with my fellow mods about that.

[(Anonymous)]

https://warlock4warlock.dreamwidth.org/54890.html?thread=269188458#cmt269188458

could you explain to me why after you deleted annusey's comments you didn't at least keep an eye on this thread even though it couldn't be more baity if it had 'IM A BAIT' written all in caps in the subject line?

[gayvert]

i'm not the original mod who deleted comments but i think they were driveby modding

[bearlygay]

can i apply to be a mod on a trial basis? i'd like to help with deleting the trolls around this time but im not sure if i can do it for a long period of time

[(Anonymous)]

a bear mod

[(Anonymous)]

why delete the link about the skyscraper it's not against the rules

[gayvert]

it's not fandom related and is random c/p

[(Anonymous)]

also why did you delete the comment pointing out that this was misgendering https://warlock4warlock.dreamwidth.org/54890.html?thread=269124458#cmt269124458

[gaydzilla]

hi nona, i apologize this hasn't been tended to sooner. i've deleted the misgendering comment and will ask about this in the mod chat.

[(Anonymous)]

lmao why the fuck was a tweet by rosario dawson deleted

[(Anonymous)]

wait

WAS IT BECAUSE IT WAS HET

omg nonas it's a FUCKING FLOWER

[(Anonymous)]

why was a comment saying "dear white people, you know you can just not talk right" deleted

[gaydzilla]

which thread was this in so i can ask?

[(Anonymous)]

https://warlock4warlock.dreamwidth.org/55251.html?thread=270242259#cmt270242259

yk what, i didn't support when that person just took over legit complaints to troll, but i am sick of them treating it like a "i'm free" thing and then making it about nonas when the situation that prompted it was bullshit and letting racism get a pass

just think about how this comes across and how this proves they don't give a shit about the people they hurt, do i think cats is evil or irredeemable? no, but this attitude makes it really obvious they're trying to look the victim and i don't like this shit and this pattern that just makes me feel less comfortable that mods will take our points into consideration when we talk about racist microaggressions

every conversation revolving around race that isn't just "overt racism is bad" always turns to shit on wiffu and i am sick of it

[gaydzilla]

hey nona, this will be discussed in the chat and we will get back to you

[(Anonymous)]

hi mods - are comments going to be approved again? if there's a delay reason, would it be possible to update the top post saying so?

[gaydzilla]

hi nona, i apologize about the delay in unscreening comments, the mod at the time was around on their own and couldn't deal with the volume for a while due to rl reasons. leaving a little note at the top that it might take a while for comments to be unscreened should that ever be a case again is a good practice though and i'll suggest it for the future.
