For example, do you need a degree in philosophy to be a moderator of the philosophy community?

If so, how do we test for that?

If not, why do we treat them as authority?

    I got comments about Israeli removed for anti semitism.

    My comments were links to wikipedia about population statistics. Apparently pointing out the Jewish population of NYC is anti-semetic.

      I’ve only gotten reasons for removal once and it was for disinformation when I said female genital mutilation was worse than circumcision. I havent gotten a reason for the time I was arguing against the use of the phrase “death to America” doubling down to include death to all Americans. I had some comments removed in that thread and decided to delete the rest.

        I mean, I would remove that comment too. Mostly because I hate gender war bullshit about ‘who has it worse’. It’s never productive in any meaningful way.
