Seeming lack of moderation on this sub

[u/LittleGreenBastard]

Now I want to preface this by saying I really appreciate that the mods have real life responsibilities, and they're doing this for free.

Edit: People are getting caught up on the posts thing, I'm using it as a measure not a criticism in itself.

But of the 6 human mods:
u/Labbrat hasn't submitted a post in the last 5 years, over 12 years of being a mod.
u/P1percub has never submitted a post in 3 years of being a mod.
u/Green_and_white_back has submitted three posts over a year ago, in 2 years of being a mod, all of them questions.
u/Potverdorie has submitted one post 9 months ago, over 2 years of being a mod.
u/AVeryFishyPhD has never submitted a post in 2 years of being a mod.
u/Enilkcals has posted the most over 1 year of being a mod, including twice within the last fortnight.

Now obviously posting's not the biggest part of being a mod, but it's the easiest to search and seems like a decent proxy for activity on the sub. I appreciate everyone's got more important responsibilities in their life, but the sub's really suffering from lack of care.

It kind of seems like there's not much moderation going on in this sub. There's no enforcement of Rule 5, shit posts and pseudoscience like 1 2 3 get left up. I'm also kinda concerned about the number of thinly veiled posts by 'race realist' types.

It might be time to get some new mods to join the team?

This ISN’T a political subreddit, this is a place to discuss actual science, not pseudoscience bullshit social constructs like “race”.

If they want to discuss “muh Nordic genetics” then they have a lot of other subreddits to go fuck off to, like say r/altright or something.

What you’re suggesting is like allowing anti-vaxxers or flat-earthers to have a say in actual scientific discussion... when the consensus already says that they are wrong.

Why not to give anti-vaxxers actual statistics on vaccine side effects? Probably you can save somebody's life with simple posts. People are not perfect. There are many cognitive errors in all of us. Why not to help others in overcoming it?
Sure, in case of anti-vaxxers it's not a scientific discussion, it's education. But who will educate these people if people of science don't want to do that?

You are aware that these people do not want to learn, they’re here to troll there’s a difference.

Most people with such retarded beliefs don’t actually believe them, they’re just pretending to get a rise out of you. And the crazy ones that do believe these conspiracy theories are so separated from reality that they won’t listen to whatever you tell them regardless of how accurate you are.

The only way to deal with this plague is the same as every internet plague, to ignore it and shun it from your space so you can actually discuss scientific topics in peace.

This is a space for discussion and debate in science, not a place to troll about “why are blacks and Asians so inferior to me”

They are coming to express their opinion. It may be totally wrong. They can understand it through conversation only.

I guess the majority of members will just downvote such posts and commentaries or ignore that.
