I look at it as a job creator. Without the people being flagged, who knows, maybe a Fool would lose their job.

Our moderator has you fooled. She might be a bot.

Don’t the posts get flagged by us users? Then reviewed?

Gee, is that thread gone? You do need to admit, some things going on these days invite mockery.

No.

Also, there is no minimum character limit, so unnecessary sentences like this are not, uh, necessary.

They can be flagged by users or taken down by the admin. If they are flagged I don’t think they automatically get greyed out till reviewed. I am not sure of this so maybe we need to run multiple tests just to measure exactly what sets this all off. :crazy_face:

Now I’m confused. The thread began talking about Shrewdm.com. There the “report this post” button exists but doesn’t work. On purpose.

Here at the Fool 3.0 there is some mysterious process by which posts can be greyed out, sometimes admin deleted, rarely but occasionally restored. But you never know, really.

This epoch will be known as “The Moronic Period”.

You can edit the offending post and it will reappear.

Honestly what happened to the fool and shrewd is a divide between supply side econ and demand side econ.

The supply side econ guys never put the economy or the country first. They put themselves first. That backfires in a lot of ways.

Some are successful. But most supply side guys are simple minded failures. People did not just drop because of fool 3.0. They got upset because regardless of what happens in DC this economy in the US economy is now in a demand side period. Their comprehension is not with it.

One of my disliked elites recently admitted that “X” has the right approach to speech.

The times they are a-changin’

I hope there is a middle ground somewhere.

Tolerance is the middle ground.

Tolerance
the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.

Each of us can create the middle ground.

Bull!

Lying is very provocative. The bull lies are never going to go down with tolerance.

Straight forward sheer incompetency won’t go down well either.

Pure garbage won’t play well either. The country has better things that need care and doing.

“Gee, is that thread gone? You do need to admit, some things going on these days invite mockery”

at this point in time, there is nothing more economic-macro than the incoming administration. The lunacy displayed is surely going to continue, and it will affect and effect all aspects of society and business and environment and etc.

I guess I don’t understand why a private company that is not subjected to the laws of Free Speech feel it necessary that their users be tolerant (correction: explicitly permissive) of calling gay people retarded or claiming women are property.

I get not censoring political speech but is “women are property” an actual political opinion that need be protected - again on private property?

It is “getting in step” with the current national attitude, as expressed at the ballot box.

This smacks of RS President, excusing RS’ uncompetitively high pricing with “we do people a favor when we sell them our stuff”.

Fox News star Jesse Watters said on Tuesday night that Canadians should see it as “a privilege to be taken over” by the United States, especially since “everybody in the world wants” to be an American citizen.

And every USian better either get in line with that, or, at least, keep their mouth shut. That was my takeaway from my years at RS.

I removed the flagged post of renaming the Gulf of Mexico because it was purely political. Politics is banned on METAR. Any post that mentions a politician or political party without a clear Macroeconomic impact will be flagged.
