A place for your suggestions and grievances about r/neoliberal. New submissions and comments in the ban appeal thread will result in the mods getting pinged

RULES

I. Maintain civility, decency, and discourse quality. See rules I through III on the /r/neoliberal sidebar for details.

II. When referencing a post or comment, please provide a link or explain why you cannot (for example, a removed comment written by someone else - if you wrote it yourself and it was removed, you should still be able to link to it).

III. All posts should include either a question or a call for action from the mods (for example, "Why was this comment removed?" or "Add a userpinger group about...").

EXPECTATIONS

If your post can be easily responded to by any mod, you can expect a response within 36 hours. After that point, feel free to re-tag moderators and/or PM a moderator to make them aware of the lack of response. Understand that when this happens, it is likely the result of logistical issues rather than any malevolence on our part.

If your post likely needs mod deliberation for an answer, needs a specific mod to respond, or needs a mod with technical expertise to respond, then you can expect a response within 48 hours. After that point, feel free to re-tag moderators and/or PM a moderator to make them aware of the lack of response. Again, please assume good intentions on our part in this situation.

While we do not require your complaints to be polite, understand that phrasing your criticism and complaints in a constructive manner is more likely to get you a quick and helpful response.

Finally, our intention is not for posts in this sub to be ignored. Feel free to post links to threads here directly in the /r/neoliberal discussion thread.

Can we get an Artist Ping?

I don't believe there's a ping group for the hobby of creating art (drawing, painting, digital art, sculpture etc...)

If there isn't already one, could we get one? thanks!

u/telperions-relative, u/thats_good_bass, u/extreme_rocks back me up here

Why is this article on Israel blocking humanitarian aid not being allowed to be posted on the sub?

https://www.propublica.org/article/gaza-palestine-israel-blocked-humanitarian-aid-blinken

it's well sourced, cites USAID and a State Dept Bureau, and has massive implications for the legality of US arms to a major ally. What's the rationale for not letting it be posted? I haven't seen threads with it be removed, but none with the link seem to be up right now and I find it hard to believe people haven't tried to post it yet.

Ban the user suggesting Eugenics for people with depression

It's not funny or pithy for this user to be suggesting that people with depression or suicidal ideation should be banned from having children by the state. Please remove these posts.

Re-requesting ping VTUBER

I requested this a while back and got a "not enough activity try just using WEEBS"

I think the situation has somewhat changed and I think I can make a better case now, so here goes

  • Vtuber stuff is often like weird parasocial stuff. That's different from talking about anime and manga and art and all. There's overlap, but I see plenty of people with an interest an one and not the other
  • Activity is often very sporadic. There have been like 4 pings since the Amelia Watson graduation announcement the other day. Selen/Dokibird drama would also be an example
  • Market growth
  • Like c'mon be honest there's already enough WEEBS pings anything to take the load off people's inboxes πŸ˜…

So, umm,,, yeah, if you are annoyed at all the WEEBS pings you keep getting, or want to post your shrines without feeling weird or smth, please support!

Removing my article as a bad source? https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/1flgdya/my_french_teacher_was_beloved_for_25_years_then/

What the fuck? The article had an interview with the person who was fired, and quoted them directly. What more could they have done? Honestly, this sub is a shadow of its former self, a mod logs in and disagrees with a source and literally shoots down an article hundreds of people are happily, civilly, and enthusiastically discussing. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Flair Request: C.D. Howe

C.D. Howe was a American-born Canadian technocrat who served as a cabinet minister continuously from 1935 to 1957. The first engineer to ever sit in a Liberal cabinet, he became so influential in overseeing the government's response to the Great Depression, war production in WW2, and Canada's post-war economic boom that he became known as the "minister of everything" and was a major force in Canada's transformation from an agricultural-based economy into an industrial one.

In short, he's basically what commies claim Stalin or Mao is: but he did it all in an electoral democracy without the gulags and all that.

Here's a png of him looking cool smoking a pipe

Title AI Bots

Is there much anyone can do about the spam of these bots? Three already on this new post for example. I guess people are more likely to click on posts with comments already, ironically, but seems ridiculous.

Any thoughts of adding a minimum points required (or if there is one upping it/requiring a simple verification Γ  la joining most FB marketplace groups?

glorifying israeli violence

given that hezbollah is lebanon's biggest party, it's almost certain that the pagers/radios/etc. were distributed to civilian administrators.

how gleeful do people have to get over israeli terrorist attacks against civilians before mods start to enforce the rules evenhandedly? there are tons of comments left up glorifying the recent attacks that have certainly left hundreds of civilians horrifically maimed.

Volcano/Geology Ping

Volcanoes are both really cool and really terrifying, so there should be an appropriate ping group to facilitate the discussion of them. If Volcanoes are too niche, then a generic Geology ping that could also include earthquakes, tsunamis, etc could work as well.

IP and celebrating violence

Hello!

I'm just a lurker on r/neoliberal, but something I've been noticing recurring has not sat well with me, and I feel after the attack on Lebanon today it should be talked about.

I understand that people are happy Hezbollah has been hit in this attack, and I'm not trying to elicit sympathy for them. But I think, as a liberal sub, we probably should not be celebrating an attack made in contravention of international law, an attack which has resulted in civilian casualties, including the death of a young child, and which will probably only further escalate, not de-escalate, tensions in the region. The response shown by many in the thread show at best a lack of nuance and at worst a callous disregard for human life.

Those are my thoughts.

Ban anyone who posts fake polls, or even alludes to fake polling data, even if it's obviously a joke.

Also, ban all vagueposting eg

Wow that NYT article has me dooming

Also make a sticky thread just for polls so that people stop posting the same shit over and over and over again

Emma Lazarus flair

She is of course famous for writing The New Colossus (the poem on the Statue of Liberty) but she was also an advocate for immigrants, against anti-semitism, and even for a land value tax. I think she fits the subreddit well and her story is particularly fitting given more than one recent event.

There should be one thread a month where people vote on one mod to remove.

If no mod receives a plurality of votes, no mod is removed.

Mom says it's *my* turn to make a joke thread

But also we should probably port over the flairs from the main subreddit as we had an issue that would have been prevented if the flairs from the main subreddit showed up.

Can we not just tech-tech it over like we did with the approved list during the API shutdown?

Request that the sub stop singling out minority groups for different treatment

I've recently become aware that this sub has filters in place that prevent posting stories about antisemitism, which were apparently put in place because singling out minorities is easier than enforcing a clear and consistent set of rules about what content should or should not be posted to the sub. Apparently, based on this post, it is my job as a user to know about these filters and request that you guys enforce your rules the same way regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, or any other sort of background. As you apparently did in the past by removing the filter on stories about attacks on Asian people, would you kindly enforce your rules in a consistent manner that isn't apparently based on some sort of race based "out of sight, out of mind" mentality?

The argument made in favor of this filter has been that it is used to prevent the sub from becoming a news aggregator for stories such as attacks on Jews. This argument falls flat, and frankly reminds me of broad overzealous discriminatory practices like the WW2 internment camps. If you want to enforce rules to protect the character of the sub, enforcing those rules by singling out specific minorities is already far, far worse than the alternative.

Can my post be approved?

I haven’t been given a reason as to why but it’s really important as a Jew showing how antisemitism is being cynically weaponized for votes by a major political party.

Source ping

I have a huge bookmarks folder for sources for various arguments. I can't imagine I'm the only weirdo like that here

I'd like to propose a SOURCES or maybe DATA ping, maybe aliΓ‘s to DATA-DRIVEN, EVIDENCE-BASED (& BASED-EVIDENCE?)

Example posts might be asking for sources for various topics, posting good sources you find, and maybe more tangentially discussing source quality, search methods, stuff like that

Why was this post removed?

https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/1fdtksd/as_debate_looms_trump_is_now_the_one_facing/

No reason provided. It's front page news on the NYT, and is pretty relevant both to discussion of Trump's mental decline and to criticism of the media not posting about Trump's mental decline, both of which are frequent topics of discussion on the sub
