The No-Spin Zone is moderated - grue - 06-25-2016
There's a gray area of indefinition between what is acceptable posting in this subforum and what is not. I'm supposed to enforce that. Yet, along they way a lot of my thinking when moderating posts here is lost, so I'm writing this to clarify the general guidelines of what I do.
The fundamental principle behind the threads in the NSZ is that they must follow a path. The path originates in the original discussion proposed by the thread creator, and goes wherever it goes, and I'll leave threads alone so far as there's the palest internal consistency.
So to be precise: I'll delete shitposts, obtuse thread derails, lame attempts at jokes and every third kingtide post. That is, things that interfere with whatever discussion people are having. Things that are onstensibly unrelated, or that don't show some sort of concern for the thread.
That's the general rule: stay on topic. I don't mean it like a sort of draconian rule, take it more as a rule of thumb: if what you mean to add to the thread is kind of unrelated but an interesting discussion in itself, consider making a new thread about it. It keeps the NSZ active and the different discussions uncluttered.
Otherwise, this will be just B2B 2.0, and there's no point in having two similar subforums.
I will try to moderate threads to the best of my ability by merging multiposts and deleting shit posts. Some threads that you buttwipes make irredeemable I will flat out remove from the NSZ, but that's only happened one or two times. Overall I feel like you guys get the general "spirit" of the NSZ, but every once in a while perfectly good threads just go downhill for no particular reason.
Also, try to gauge the seriousness of the thread, ok? I won't do much in the "post ur pic" thread because it's obviously lighthearted and all about the circlejerk. But if you start posting one-word snark replies to, say, diehard's Syria Clusterfuck thread, which is clearly a syrious thread, I will delete your comments.
I've been considering creating a Hall of Fame for shitposts but I'm afraid that niki yelling at things and risbolla's page sniping probably don't make for entertaining content.

Really man? Really?
Anyway, I'm actually glad you posted this, Grue. Staying on topic and having posts of substance really isn't too much to ask for. I'm guilty of making gray area semi-shitposts here, but as the reigning leader of B2B (which is now essentially spame's spame) I think WWSMD*`** when posting in NSZ. I'll make sure to keep genuine contributions the majority over my silly little JokePosts™, but if I get out of line moreso than usual then stop being a pussy and fight me bro just let me know.

I thought I'd make it obvious to diehard that he can't simply post something in whatever language and expect people to translate on his behalf, so I deleted your non-sequitor argument about whether or not you were on a computer / whether or not it's easy to translate a website
I left the original post and I think the message got across, I think the thread stays cleaner this way

The election is over, why don't we close this thread since everything is going to be irrelevant to the topic.

I'd rather it die out, besides people can still talk about the election after the fact

Why I made that sarcastic comment is you are treating this like a major website when its literally 20 people hanging out.
