Avdiivka about to fall ?
Almost a month later, the situation is now dire in Avdiivka. Inspite of a losses ratio rumored to be as high as 1 to 10, Ruzzian orcs continue creeping forward. Avdiivka is now 80% encircled. Regarding my previous interrogations about artillery support for Ukraine, I can only conclude that Ukraine must be low on ammo. Anyway, it's not good news for Avdiivka.

Why Republicans are souring on Ukraine
You don't even have 2 bobs. Even a single bob wouldn't come up with such nonsense. Western powers didn't deliver much to Ukraine pre-invasion, except a couple of cargo planes of Javelins. And after the invasion, Western help was not that great either, falling far short of delivering what Ukraine needed for a "rapid victory over the invasion". Get your facts straight. You are posting disinformation.

Would YOU watch HIS bag on the beach?
you got what you deserved for "assuming" and taking no interest in what someone else was trying to tell you, and lying about understanding. 100% your problem. it wasn't even about watching the bag or not, so this thread's title is a misrepresentation of what happened. title should be "would you listen to what someone says to you on the beach" ?

Srettha Working On Bringing Yingluck Back Home
Thai politics aren't boring, that's for sure. Apparently, the corrupt red establishment has sold out and allied with the corrupt "conservative" establishment (to put it lightly) to counter reformists who actually won the election... I wonder how this will end, or when the next episode of this struggle will take place. tears would certainly be better than what flowed in 2010.

China’s Embassy calls on Thai media to censor its coverage of Taiwan to protect relationships
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_Zedong Mao's policies were responsible for vast numbers of deaths, with estimates ranging from 40 to 80 million victims due to starvation, persecution, prison labour, and mass executions, and his government was described as totalitarian. And that's just Mao. Chinese emperors and feudal lords were known for their cruelty. Why don't you educate yourself about the subject before posting disinformation.

I'm sure that could be arranged if you were to decide becoming a customer of AN, i.e. pay them money for the service.

Why do so many people like K-Pop ?
I dislike the majority of K-Pop music, except for a few which are great for driving in the night on the Autobahn or for cleaning my room, washing the dishes... For example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7_lSP8Vc3o some K-pop / J-pop are also great as background noise for working - I listen to Tokyo Radio Kawaii, non stop Jap girl groups, no ads :) I wouldn't call either music though.

Ignorance is not an opinion and deserves no respect other than being corrected politely.

Avdiivka about to fall ?
I guess I am, since I don't get replies to my arguments. Or maybe he's just too overwhelmed by the undeniable truth that he finds it impossible to respond. It's rather ironic, as he posts in this thread, and I am the threadstarter, but he ignores my posts, lol.

You ignore users that disagree with you - that's different.

Avdiivka about to fall ?
Ukraine has negotiated. 1993, Budapest Memorandum. Russia took Ukraine's nuclear weapons in exchange of guaranteeing its independence and borders.

Avdiivka about to fall ?
I find it disturbing that people like this can put others on ignore and then continue to post their ignorant drivel without risk of being contradicted by the posters who know the most about the subject at hand.

Managing forum toxicity and negativity
I downloaded and read the file, since I have been moderating forums for over 20 years, some very toxic, and I would have welcomed some fresh insights into the problem. But I found the document underwhelming. Of 10 pages in total, there are 5 pages of content, but the font is very big, like when I was a student and lacked inspiration, lol. Maybe it can serve as a short introduction for new moderators and new forum owners regarding the basics, making rules and the handful of tools they describe. Other than that it doesn't bring any insights at all, and is seriously lacking in the tools department. How to prevent bot registrations ? How to place individual users on pre-moderation ? How to prevent spam ? How to use BHL / Blacklists / Spamcop ? How to recognize multiple accounts and banned users coming back with new usernames ? How to handle VPN / anonymizers / proxies / TOR ? What are today's tools for permanent fingerprinting / persistent cookies against fraud ? How to prevent phishing ? Just to name a few issues.
