A recently released Hamas hostage's revelation of sexual violence against her fellow captives throws water on progressives' downplaying of the atrocities.
Tldr: Moderating is hard, and I accidentally gave myself a hard goal of not being a powertripping mod.
I made this community trying to prevent myself from becoming a powertripping mod. I wanted clear rules, warnings, short bans for good reasons, no bias, all that good stuff.
Then came borderline stuff, and I let it slide. Then came slowly escalating threads where it was unclear if I should ban both or one or none. Then came this and that, all of which hard to judge.
So I thought about things, rewrote rules, tried to explain myself, even got Peepin as a mod. (The rules have never really changed, I just suck at communicating them to the point I think everyone is confused).
All I really wanted a community with conservative posts that everyone could discuss, but my god is that simple concept hard to communicate properly.

Since you violate your own rules frequently, I can see how you struggle.
