[00:44:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> any apache helicopters or are they being discriminated against too?
[00:45:12] <chromas> Attack helicopters are privileged. Just like how high and mighty they float up into the sky
[00:46:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> pffft, there's less of them than there black folks by a long shot. and they get shot at just about as often.

[00:52:36] <chromas> Give her lots of birthdays. She won't appreciate them after a few. She'll be winning so much, she'll be tired of winning.

[19:59:09] <Exaeta> It's getting annoying.

[20:12:53] <Bytram> Exaeta: from what I can tell, you have 184 comments, and out of the last 24 of them, you have had 35 replies... I'm still recuperating from a bad cold or bug of some sort, so I apologize if I am not forthcoming... but my tools are limited and I do not have time to go looking through all your comments looking for a pattern... actually, I was about to lie down for a nap in hopes of getting on top of this thing.
[20:13:19] <Bytram> so, please provide links to the most recent, say, 5 comments that concern you and I'll see what I can do.

[21:15:00] <Sulla> Its weird as I dont see arist as the type to post anon because he says some pretty stupid things not anon, but whatever, writing style and use of "haha so random" is similar

[23:13:37] <Bytram> wait, what? #610184? how long ago was that?
[23:20:35] <Bytram> Exaeta: Okay. A few things. (1) Qll three comments you referred to were moderated by the community to a score of -1 which is as low as things go. By default, these comments would not be immediately visible to any viewer of the site; they would have had to explicitly change their viewing parameters to see these comments OR click on the collapsed comment title.
[23:21:20] <Bytram> (2) The oldest comment you referred to was: https://soylentnews.org
[23:21:21] <upstart> ^ 03SoylentNews Comments | Time to Boycott the Internet? ( https://soylentnews.org )
[23:22:07] <Bytram> All I can see about that comment is that it was posted by an AC (Anonynous Coward) on December 15, 2017... IOW -- I have no more visibility to that comment than you do.
[23:22:14] <Bytram> next
[23:23:49] <Bytram> (3) Next oldest comment you provided was: https://soylentnews.org
[23:23:50] <upstart> ^ 03SoylentNews Comments | Richard Spencer Threatens to Sue Kent State ( https://soylentnews.org )
[23:25:05] <Bytram> I see that it was moderated as "(Score: -1, Flamebait)" which, again, would block it from being seen by any visitor to the site unless they explicitly chose to look at this specific comment or at ALL comments, regardless of score.
[23:26:31] <Bytram> (btw, for posterity's and/or compleness's sake, that comment was posted on 2018-02-15)
[23:27:39] <Bytram> (4) As for the other comment you referenced: https://soylentnews.org
[23:27:41] <upstart> ^ 03SoylentNews Comments | Richard Spencer Threatens to Sue Kent State ( https://soylentnews.org )
[23:31:46] <Bytram> I see you modded that comment as spam, and it like the others, so it is currently has a moderation of "(Score: -1, Spam)" -- again, not visible to site visitors unless they explicitly expand that comment or open up their threshold in their preferences to see everything.
[23:33:13] <Bytram> So, from what I can tell, the community is agreeing with you wrt these comments and they are being downmodded out of visibility unless people specifically go looking for 'junk' comments.
[23:35:11] <Bytram> We try to let the community take care of things and only involve ourselves in situations where there is blatant abuse. I apologize that I don't recall exactly, but I believe the criterion is at least 5 downmods against the same person in one day (well, really, period in which mod points were issued).
[23:38:18] <Bytram> That all said, I *have* passed the word on to the rest of staff to watch for possible moderation abuse wrt your nick.
[23:42:57] <Exaeta> okay
