ZZLP impact on IC?

The political thread on the old IC (247) is an absolute shitshow. Unsurprisingly, a couple new looney tunes posters have emerged and made that thread a dumping ground for unhinged far right narratives. There seems to be no moderation at all.

I am not sure if they have sports moderators yet either. I know a lot of people who were, let's say - difficult on game threads, stayed behind. It will be interesting to see how their game threads are.

I'm guessing they're relying on the staff to be the mods...which might work for the premium sports boards, but is going to be interesting if they're also trying to cover the free sports boards. And they're obviously not even trying on the TH247Lounge.
 
It’s divided so the volume is naturally down on Tar Pit Premium. I find myself posting on three Tar Heel boards now.

I just went there for the first time. Holy crap some of the posts are vile and unhinged. It all seems to be contained to one thread within the lounge, but yikes. I’ll gladly stay here which is for the most part civil.

Yeah, it's a reminder that there are terrible, terrible people in the world and that we unknowingly interact with some of them on a regular basis.
 
I will say that if TH247 isn't going to moderate their lounge, they really out to just get rid of it. It's going to get really, really ugly if there isn't any sort of adult in the room.

Indeed. I read the thread and it is disgusting - that one poster clearly hates transgenders with a passion. And I thought that political threads were no longer allowed there? I guess that since IC left it's allowed again to some extent.

Yeah, no politics was an IC rule, not a 247 rule. 247 has had their sites crack down on political discussion, though, so I would expect they'd get involved if it continues at such a rough level.
