While some of you may have seen this before, a shocking number of users appear to not understand that we have this wonderful device.

It can allow a user to look at the things mods and admins have to remove; and if you were ever to wonder why you keep seeing users, mods, and admins leave due to transphobia, you could pursue through it to see what they're talking about.

    Cause when you go through the modlog and see why people get banned, at least half of it is no reason given/"eat my ass, fuck you, sugma liberal, etc." You even got StonedApe again, ffs. Like should we just dig through the comments of every banned person and guess why they're dead? Some of it is transphobia or Kerry posting that's really obvious, but not all of it.

      Yeah I just spent a bit of time looking through the modlog. The majority is really nasty stuff that I'm thankful to the mods for suffering through so that the average user, like me, doesn't have to see. But then there are quite a few comments deleted for frivolous reasons and bans that don't give a good reason why they're banned

        The reason for the frivolous bans is basically fatigue, there's too much shit to sort through. They are unbanning people who appeal and show that it was a mistake though.

        It's too much work to go through all this content with perfect accuracy. Facebook has thousands upon thousands of people basically locked in offices staring at child porn and gore all day with their eyelids forced open, at poverty wages, just to get it to the level of where Facebook is at.

          Yeah good point, I can see how that can happen. I imagine the solution is more mods so no one gets overwhelmed. Talking about Facebook, I remember reading a article a while ago about their mods and how soul crushing it is. It basically destroys people mentally
