Just a thought...perhaps when a Mod delete a post ...they don't have to put in a aggressively worded threat as well.
A bit of background: when a warning is being sent by mods it is accompanied by a (imo too harshly worded) standard text that mods have no influence on. I personally would prefer the possibility of a more gentle nudge.
$420, give or take a few cents.
I'm also waiting to see what happens with stimulus negotiations. There is a call scheduled between the WH/Pelosi at 11AM PST. Passage pre-election is pretty much a no-go it seems, but if the WH and the House can agree on something, the markets might rally for a little while.
I think this is fair game for this forum given its importance to the markets, but these types of posts have been nuked recently (even though it's really non-political in nature). If this post is also removed, I'll know not to bother sharing this information/speculation on here anymore.
Your text is about politics, but fairly neutral. The problem is that in a hugely divided country (and thus hugely divided forum) there will always be someone who starts turning it into a mud slinging contest. Mods have tried to leave neutral political posts, hoping that nobody takes the bait, but that experiment usually fails.
In general I think people should accept the fact that posts can sometimes get removed. It’s just a bunch of words, not a limb that gets amputated. It helps to not take the removal of a post too personally; it is never meant as such. It happens to many members and most of them just shrug it off and move on, which is the right approach.
