Keep talking. We all know banning you fucks would be worthless effort right since we allow Tor.
This site needs a modlog

You will be back in two weeks to attempt to sew more discord. Your financiers cannot abide free spaces with quality posts.

Exactly, it's so you're forced to give him some code citation which he can then go pilpul on until he rallies enough opposition to you to reduce your ability to clean his shit up.
Better to quietly execute him and let him go find somewhere else to shit up. You owe him NOTHING!

I made this thread because I saw someone else's thread complaining about censorship get deleted. I know now exactly why you deleted that post: you're a retard faggot that thinks that word count = quality.
I have taken the initiative to create this thread as a direct consequence of having observed another user's thread, which was ostensibly focused on expressing discontent and frustration with regards to the perceived censorship they had experienced. Regrettably, this thread was subsequently deleted, an action that I have come to regard as a paradigmatic exemplar of the very issue that the original poster was attempting to highlight.
Through a process of introspection and analysis, I have arrived at a profound understanding of the motivations that likely precipitated the deletion of the aforementioned thread. It has become abundantly clear to me that the individual or individuals responsible for moderating this platform, and who ultimately made the decision to delete the thread in question, subscribe to a rather simplistic and misguided philosophy. Specifically, it appears that they erroneously conflate the quantitative metric of word count with the qualitative notion of content value.
In other words, I have come to the realization that the moderators seem to operate under the assumption that the efficacy, relevance, and overall quality of a post are inextricably linked to its verbosity, or conversely, that a post's brevity is ipso facto indicative of its inferiority. I must confess that I find this approach to be fundamentally flawed, and it is precisely this critique that I wish to foreground through the creation of this thread.
>>52175
My user token idea is to add a cost to gain revocable posting privilege, so Tor does not become an allow+(no practical moderation) XOR deny+(quiet clean moderation). My token idea gives you the option of allowing Tor posting AND making pseudobans sting.

>waahhh I saw a post bitching about moderati... err censorship get deleted
This is a private club, not a public commons.
Fuck off.
>>52180
As I reflect upon the sentiments expressed in the preceding statement, I am compelled to offer a rejoinder that, in my estimation, aptly captures the essence of my reaction. It appears that the individual who penned the original declaration subscribes to a rather rigid and exclusionary worldview, one that posits the existence of a stark dichotomy between the rarefied and privileged realm of a "private club" and the more expansive and inclusive domain of a "public commons".
In my considered opinion, this perspective is redolent of a certain authoritarian mindset, one that seeks to erect barriers and impose restrictions on the free flow of ideas and discourse. It is this very inclination that I wish to contest and challenge through my present remarks.
Furthermore, I must confess that I find it intriguing, if not indeed telling, that the author of the original statement saw fit to couch their sentiments in a phrase that, to my ear, bears a striking resemblance to a particular mode of expression that was once notoriously employed by certain totalitarian regimes. Specifically, the phrase "so sayeth Stalin's slave" is intended to evoke a certain historical and ideological context, one that is characterized by the suppression of dissenting voices and the imposition of a rigid, monolithic worldview.
In this light, I suggest that the original statement may be seen as symptomatic of a larger phenomenon, one that involves the attempted imposition of a particular ideology or worldview on others, often through coercive or exclusionary means. As such, I feel compelled to register my disagreement with, and indeed my skepticism towards, the sentiments expressed in the original statement.

Public modlogs are good only in a high trust society. Sadly, forum trolls who feed off of a response LOVE public modlogs because they get to see
how exactly the moderation acted in response to their malicious posts. I feel like not implementing a modlog directly starves the trolls of a response. If their post just vanishes into the void,
then they have no incentive to continue posting. Trolls will only get a response from making good posts on the forum, and then they stop being trolls in the process.

As I ponder the assertions presented in the preceding statement, I find myself compelled to pose a series of interrogative queries, which, I hope, will serve to illuminate the underlying motivations and potential contradictions inherent in the argument.
Specifically, I am led to wonder whether the author of the original statement harbors a certain trepidation or apprehension regarding the prospect of being held accountable for their actions in a transparent and publicly accessible manner. In this regard, I must ask: is it possible that the individual in question hopes that, in the event of a legal process being initiated against this site, a gag order will be issued, thereby obviating the need for transparent and public disclosure of the relevant information?
Alternatively, I am prompted to inquire: does the author of the original statement reserve the right to demand secrecy and opacity in the exercise of moderation, while simultaneously expecting transparency and accountability from others? In other words, do they subscribe to a double standard, whereby they themselves are entitled to operate in a clandestine manner, while others are expected to be forthcoming and transparent in their actions?
Furthermore, I am intrigued by the apparent paradox at the heart of the original statement. On the one hand, the author posits that public modlogs can serve as a catalyst for trolls, who allegedly derive a perverse sense of gratification from observing the moderation process. On the other hand, I am left to ponder whether the author's own actions and motivations might be driven by a desire to avoid scrutiny and accountability, rather than a genuine concern for the well-being of the community.
In this light, I must ask: what is the underlying rationale or motivation that informs the author's stance on this issue? Is it truly a desire to protect the community from the perceived scourge of trolls, or is there another factor at play, one that involves a more self-interested desire to avoid transparency and accountability?
This thread has served its purpose. Multiple users have explained why public modlogs enable trolls to game moderation, including me. The PoW token idea has been noted.
To be crystal clear: If you post "fucking niggers" as a thread, it gets deleted. If you can't understand why, you're not capable of participating here anyway.
We're not implementing public modlogs. If you have a legitimate moderation concern, contact us via the methods listed in the rules. This meta-drama ends here.
Thread locked. Further "why was my shitpost deleted" threads will result in bans.
Thread unlocked. Consider this the official unofficial moderation and related discussion thread because our e-mail is being shitcanned right now.
Mods are silently deleting posts that link back to this thread when it's clearly relevant. I think it proves that the mods here aren't really trying to create something unique, but just want a slice of the pie for themselves.
What Cyberix forgot is that none of their services like IRC or XMPP support this kind of censorship. Once a message is sent there, you will be unable to hide it from people. A retroactive accounting of moderator actions will be catastrophic for this site, and a modlog may simply be the only way to prevent it.

FYI this thread was made because someone doesn't like how we're deleting posts that consist of verbose AI generated walls of text, shitposts that belong on 4chan or things entirely unrelated to a thread or the site at large.

> I saw someone else's thread complaining about censorship get deleted.
aforementioned censorship thread was made because that person was complaining about their stupid shitpost being removed btw
https://cy-x.net/t/a-rundown-on-how-this-forum-operates-08-oct-25/191
this is the rules page if you didn't know, btw.
there is an internal modlog only accessible to site moderation/administration. We aim to only delete posts and threads that are created with malice. and i can easily see that a large majority of posts and threads that are deleted clearly deserve it
you either horribly misunderstand what's going on or you know what you're doing and the lack of a modlog forces you to make replise like these in order to garner a reaction
>none of their services like IRC or XMPP support this kind of censorship

feel free to come on in and speak to us directly about this 'censorship' that you're talking about

>this thread was made because someone doesn't like how we're deleting posts that consist of verbose AI generated walls of text
This is a well-timed lie. Can you point to a single verbose AI generated post created before the phrase in this thread "word count = quality"? You accidentally created an environment where you will have to sweat over every word looking for LLMs under your bed instead of either letting people be funny or showing publicly which humor is not allowed. But I'm sure you found them all!!!@
>feel free to come on in and speak to us directly about this 'censorship' that you're talking about
You can count on it. Mwah!
I will be working to overhaul the entire moderation suite to focus on making things more accountable. I agree with the concept of a modlog, but it simply does not belong in an anonymous environment as it stands now. One massive flaw of the modlog which is my personal dealbreaker is that it allows for long-term analytical tracking and predicting of moderator activity.
Bad users will eventually learn when moderatiom is active and when it's not in order to maximize damage to the forum before it becomes active again. I simply do not want to put up with that and not having the modlog makes this easy.
After reading this thread through again, I think I'd like to hold off on the modlog for now. I'd rather take LambdaJS's approach and just move shit rather than delete it and experiment with that first. I believe it'll work better and solve all of our problems. The mod suite overhaul should address accountability issues regardless of whether or not a public modlog is present.

I take back all my effortposts then. Your assumption about long-term analytical tracking fails logically.
>One massive flaw of the modlog which is my personal dealbreaker is that it allows for long-term analytical tracking and predicting of moderator activity.
Then don't order it by mod action time or show action timestamp. Order by post ID and this is now impossible. Bad posts are made at any time, not just when your moderators are active.
If you want to nitpick about it being easier to scrape for changes or some other meaningless information that could be gleaned, I will invite you to consider the fact that the active times of your moderators will become known regardless. It's very easy to figure out either by making posts you know will be deleted or just by reading this site and making some guesses. You will need 24 hour coverage eventually either way.
The truce is off. Let the shitposting begin. You, as a good admin, should not want your site to be held hostage by the will of one determined poster. I tell you, dear admin, that your site is already held hostage by your moderators, and I will shitpost on behalf of all of their victims who put their time into this place only to be treated worse than the average subreddit.
MOST SITES DON'T NEED A MODLOG. This one does because your mods are the worst. Do what you will, l-i is going to go fucking insane trying to guess which posts are AI (it's all of them)
