You guys were nominated. If you want to get a quote on your policy reply here and I'll add it to the OP.

1. I've been a member of thecoli almost since it was created, and I go on HL fairly regularly. I don't have any personal beef with HL posters (even the ones I think are dumb). I'll be very proactive about cutting down on redundant posting as well as posters who spam the board---that includes people not named Napoleon, who has actually been behaving himself since the election.

2. I'd like HL to find more ways to recognize and reward quality posting. Occasionally, someone takes the time to write a long, quality post where they go into an issue in-depth. Those kinds of posts should be rewarded and acknowledged. Maybe a "post of the week/month/whatever" that gets stickied for everyone's edification. I think that's ultimately the best way to improve the quality of the posts on here; reward good posting, don't just shyt on bad posting.

3. I will keep a very open mind as far as diversity of opinion and civility, but there will be a strict limit on topics which are irrelevant to the purpose of HL. We will not be hosting 50+ page threads where one guy argues with a Black Hebrew Israelite about whether someone is an Edomite.

4. I'd also like to encourage some fun themed posting. Like maybe on a certain weekday, we'll have a "topic of the day" that everyone can try and post about.

5. More help with professional development. Someone brought up that HL is too restricted to politics and we need more stuff on arts, sciences, etc.. I completely agree. But I would go a step further and say that we could use more threads specifically on professional development. There are a few dedicated threads to the stock market and law school. I think we need to see more threads like that---threads dedicated to just learning stuff to improving your career and quality of life. I think that would help us attract reasonable posters from other subforums who are interested in career discussions.

I, BaggerofTea nominate thyself to be moderator of the "Higher Learning" sub forum of thecoli.com

I believe that higher learning should constitute intellectual brevity with a broad base of opinions.

The goal of this forum should be to an open forum for ideas and thoughts, unlike the circle jerk of the TLR.

As mod....

1. Our goal is to allow free and open discourse, HOWEVER to maintain that free and open disource, hate speech based off of religious, racial, sexual or ethnic differences will NOT be tolerated.

Disparaging Jews, Indians, Whites, Blacks, Gays etc etc is purely unacceptable. It interferes in what Higher Learning is about.


2. Encourage more diverse posting. Who wants 2016 politics all the time? Why not technological information? Or philosophical.

Higher Learning should be expansive and informative on multiple levels.


Vote me in as mod for "Higher Learning" and we will work together to make Higher Learning truly Higher learning

But aren't you an Anarchist

[DEAD7]

Some of the other candidates visit HL "fairly regularly"...



I stay outchea.

 

[King Kreole]

Hello.

I don't have much to say. But I think it would be good to have some holy santos brought to Higher Learning. To guard the threads and to bring us good luck. El santo niño de atocha is a good one. My aunt Concha has seen him.

And...we have a great non-politics thread schedule lined up...and I'd like to see more of that.

If you vote for me, all of your wildest dreams will come true.

Thank you.

Not required but seems helpful

My policy is

I'm here often enough. I'll see to it that Nap's twitter posts don't get too outta line. Also will handle any over blatant trolling. Don't expect me to post any articles, but I will comment on stuff.

 

[Broke Wave]

That's it. Give me mod. I'm gonna make @Memphistopheles proud.


I'm gonna run a authoritarian dictatorship

You've earned one of my votes, comrade.

If I make a good case disparaging one of these groups, why shouldn't that stand?

I think disparagement should be permitted but slurs should not.

 

[Brown_Pride]

You've earned one of my votes, comrade.

There's a fine line between disparaging and "different opinion". It's been my experience that there's a large sentiment of HL that just doesn't like differing opinions and they do their best to paint them as "racism".

Being uniformed and being racist are not the same thing.
I would lend my support to @JahFocus CS, @acri1 and for a little something different @DEAD7

 

[Brown_Pride]

racism doesn't exist you win the game


read your own post, stop embracing anti-intellectualism it doesn't make you more of a man you're old enough to realize that

Yeah because I said racism doesn't exist....
Can't discuss shyt with someone unwilling to discuss shyt so good day to you.

and this is literally the problem with certain strains of people. They don't agree with someone, hit the hyperbole button and then claim victory. Can't keep living in the bubble man, if the fact that a little less than half the country chose Trump isn't an indication that MORE communication is needed across the isle then I don't know what it'll take to wake you up.

 

[ⒶⓁⒾⒶⓈ]

My pitch

Friends and fellow HL countrymen...I shall make no promises of candy from the sky and making this into some kind of safe space for everyone who agrees with you..nobody will get banned for sonning you viciously..indeed if done well they may even get rewarded

What wont be tolerated is racism,anti semitism and personal exposes ....a little back and forth in a battle of wit is fine.... splendid even.... theres nothing wrong with being passionate about your beliefs...

but 3 pages of people airing out their feelings ,cac gon cac and your mama jokes is unsuited to HL....that nonsense will get bushed ASAP

I promise you more disagreement ,more argument ,more rigorous debate and a deluge of information like never seen before...more science,more philosophy,more art ...more intelligence

for far too long we have tolerated this place being turned into a TLR clone...feelings and imagination have supplanted facts and logic...grown men getting hurt because someone disagrees with them

vote for me and we shall bring back the glory of the lost art of rhetoric

Every man(or woman) dies someday...and on that day when youre 90 years old and sitting in a warm soggy diaper gasping for that last breath you will remember the glory days of Higher learning and die with a smile on your face

You have no business being in this discussion tbh

You know nothing about me besides our interaction in the WOAT thread which you and the other white trolls provoked by whining over Mephist's ether. I wouldn't have spoken out if you white boys weren't out of line. Yall were in the wrong, that's not debatable.

I'd make a good mod, I'd delete personal insults, infract for racism, let both sides air their stances on issues, and end the discussions before they devolve. My idea for a White Nationalist banner is necessary, it needs to be called out.

I don't think a white guy should be in charge of nominations here, nor should be a mod. We have plenty of black posters who can take charge of this. Step aside and let someone like Thomas list the nominees.

It is pretty insulting that whites can run rampant here in HL, this board is not for you. Let the black posters call shots here, you cacs are only guests, you should not be allowed any influence over the posters this forum was created for.

See HL this is the kind of nonsense an ALIAS administration wont tolerate...Poe is an unabashed Black supremacist.

.Its a retarded ideology but the he has a constitutional right to be special

but he should be called out on his harassment of admittedly white posters...That kinda shyt may fly in TLR where they neg people and harass them for such but it really devalues the quality of discourse we are trying to achieve here...what should matter in HL is who has the FACTS ,DATA and the LOGIC on their side.

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

All I have to add is that moderators shouldn't have anyone on their ignore list so they do not miss anything.

Carry on.
