Geez, some guys are having problems with...... every thing.Some posters just want to have fun. But their definition of fun goes against common sense decency. Thus the common statement "X just banned himself". You may agree or disagree but as Rococo and others have stated.... it's pretty easy to post your thoughts without getting banned around here. If you don't want to get p

tbh i got a 1 month ban, and a 15 days ban, without breaking any forum rule so i kinda disagree with the bold.

Latest ban was because i lacked empathy toward a group of people and i dared to say i couldn't care if they died because of their actions, which is something which is an incredibly normal political position by many people and that doesn't break any rule at all.

It's not particularly easy to have rightwing opinions (even mainstream ones) on many topics and post them here without getting banned.

I mean you said it about innocent people experiencing a hurricane who end up believing misinformation, you thought it was good they would take themselves out of the gene pool lol

What rule does that break?

I mean so posts about the darwin awards would be banned content here?

I think if we held a P&S equivalent award for those removing themselves from the posting pool, you'd certainly be a title contender.

Don't post in a *****ty manner.

Darwin Awards are an internet joke and not to be taken seriously, as you know. Stop pretending.

You picked a group of folks that you are not allowed to make that kind of comment about . Now if you had made that comment about Trump voters you would have been fine .

Iger banned for a joke about Kamala Harris on her knees which got me 4 days yet the mod made a joke about JD Vance and a couch and that was OK . Though one was started on FB and not true while the other is

Just be careful which group you insult . You can wish Trump dead and get a warning but if you did that with Kamala you would probably get perma banned .

lol this is so hilarious because Trump supporters was literally the group he was talking about. I want to frame this post as evidence of confirmation bias.

lozen you never fail to disappoint at being a shining example of the β€œcentrist” that always bleats out pro-Trump propaganda. please never change because your intellectual dishonesty is emblematic.

It was actually a comment about a specific sub-set of people that , if they vote, vote predominantly for Trump. People who are talked horribly about in this very forum by many posters with 0 repercussions all the times.

I was simply targeted without breaking rules.

Wow, what a miscarriage of justice. How come you never mentioned it before?

So rafiki was just "I know what you did last summer" and didn't specify?

She left the toilet up and someone sat down after without looking. Heinous.


by natediggity m

rafiki pm'd me before Crossnerd's posts in the IP thread and there is nothing in his PM calling her a liar.....because she hadn't posted yet.

I said their accounts of what happened differ.

He PMed me as well


let’s be real, it is utterly scummy to talk about PM’s in an ominous way and then not leak them. Either leak the PM’s or stop talking about them, because this middle way is such a hack thing to do.

It was Trump voters

Easy to not get banned if following lozen's simple directions......

Can we get the double standard officially spelled out in the rules? That might help people who are still having trouble.

Lol what on earth


by Luckbox Inc m

Make sure the rules indicate that all Trump supporters will be sent to Crossnerd approved reeducation camps.


I thought at the time he shouldn't have returned to the I/P thread.


by Didace m

I would suggest that in a thread specifically labeled for moderation questions that it is poor form for a mod to make jokes like that. Not that in the end it would have changed this situation, but it's not a good look.

by coordi m

I would generally agree it was probably in bad taste (poor modding form?) to make that joke in that thread towards that poster. A gaff if you will

I’d like to just briefly acknowledge these two posts. I think in retrospect the above is correct, and I wish I hadn’t done it. Sorry, guys…

Just curious to see if Trolly comes storming in here to call you a liar.

I agree

But times are very hard emotionally and people are going to miss jokes and go OTT at times. If it's possible at all then end the ban. No apologies or analysis necessary.
