Comment on Why are most of the posts here heavily downvoted?

  When I first started, I was really anxious about not being a power tripping mod that I basically didn’t mod. It got to the point admins from other instances were stepping in, and that just wasn’t a good thing. The slap-fights were always an escalating thing, with no clear instigator, and I never did figure out if I should ban and who to ban. That was more of me specific issue, trying way too hard to be a good mod and making it worse.

  Another thing was trying to figure out what actually counted as a conservative post, turns out theres a lot of gray area, and I fucked it up a couple times. That gray area killed me.

  An easily avoidable mistake I made was the nazi ban. I should have banned name calling in general, but I wanted a clear keyword ban with zero gray area.

  Those are the big three mistakes I made.

    What is conservative is a hard one since it’s varied. Personally the culture war isn’t that interesting to me but may conservatives are interested in it. I find the fiscal policies more interesting but many conservatives are less interested in those.
