everything is just dirty, 😬
you gotta watch your back, you know how it is, 🙂

👏👏👏👏👏👏

500🥱 AM

So you basically found your spot immediately 🤣

The moderator’s breakdown is spot on, and I fully back it. Honestly, I’m just reporting the harassment I’ve been flagging for a while now. He’s already given his side of things, too, so it’s pretty obvious he isn't planning on stopping the insults. I have no intention of dodging responsibility once the facts are out there. Everything stays strictly by the forum rules.
Thanks!

Look, northernpilot2, if you seriously can't tell the difference between someone being a jerk and someone just messing around, I don't know what to tell you.
People are going to start new threads; we've already got plenty of joke threads where we post stuff like that. If you think the rules say otherwise—like we’re strictly forbidden from doing that and have to stick to one specific thread—then that needs to be clearly stated in the official rulebook.
If I feel like someone is ruining the vibe and being toxic, I'm going to report it. Especially when they're coming for me personally. When I report something for being offensive, I expect that person to at least get a warning. I'm not trying to get anyone banned for life, but people need to follow the basic rules of decent behavior. It's that simple.
There are threads in there with over ten thousand posts that haven't even been locked; maybe that's why there are so many different topics floating around. You aren't keeping up with what's happening in the Off-topic subforum, and honestly, it doesn't seem like you even want to. No offense, but no matter how cool an Off-topic subforum is, it still needs a moderator.
I could be totally honest here, or (just kidding) I could ask for special treatment from a biased mod ☕but that's just how it is☕

Is there seriously nobody here who can answer this simple question?

I honestly think enough time has passed that this kind of constant disrespect should be sanctioned. The guy was actually asked to stop insulting me.

So, where’s the principle of equality for everyone on this forum if some people get away with way more than others? Or am I just supposed to take more abuse than everyone else?
If I remember correctly, you guys didn't say anything back when people were calling us "cultists" in the politics section, and now you're ignoring this. Can someone tell me what happened?

He’s definitely already tried it, I guarantee ☕

So you're living in a small town, USA 😢, right?

Man😍 John Doe, you definitely brought this on yourself then😳

You really become what you surround yourself with. Stick around here too long and you’ll start growing horns 😬

Sending you love, you know I've become a bit of a rebel lately 🙂

The only real problem is the people here who bullied the newcomers. They’re the type who can't handle it when someone gives them a taste of their own medicine. John Doe is honestly such a wonderful, smart, and gorgeous woman, she's just way too sensitive. She doesn't quite know how to deal with people who could turn on you at any second. They totally took advantage of her trust. It's pathetic.

You were the first one to kick him out, and your buddy was right behind you 😢
The two of you are both to blame ☕

Sure thing, mine's Ava🙂

So you finally decided to show up and give us this big explanation (though I highly doubt you even read the off thread) (plus you haven't answered a single one of my DMs), but honestly, I just want to know why the rest of us were kept in the dark. Why was everyone else left feeling so confused?
Because you guys allow this impossible situation to happen, I, Rachel Palmer56, a long-time model member of this community, am officially out. Let the clone topics thrive, because I can't stick around in a place where the mods are basically protecting clones instead of actual people.
Thanks to everyone for the good times.
And yeah, there’s no way I’m cloning myself. I only hang out with people who actually stand by their word and their actions, even if it's just a username on a screen.
Take care, and goodbye. 🙂

I get what you mean, but they’re just getting annoying. Sorry if that sounded harsh—you can see why I feel that way by looking at this thread that went totally off the rails ages ago. Honestly, we don't even care about their accusations that everyone here is just a bunch of clones. They aren't the real issue; it's that one woman who keeps all us other idiots stuck in this endless cycle of cloning. I'm really hoping the mods can step up and fix this mess with some actual oversight.
Here's the thread where Richard Sanders7 and Rass have been running clones for months:

I doubt anyone's actually going to sit down and read the whole thing, though. Just check out the linked page and the last one; that should be enough.
I'm really hoping this situation gets handled seriously.
Thanks 🙂

William Bennett53 said:Until someone from the Offtopic staff shows up, I want to make two points:
- First, having clone topics isn't against the rules by itself. What's banned is posting with them at the same time and messing with people's heads.
- Second, I respect anyone trying to help the mods, but just linking profiles doesn't mean they're clones. Only a moderator can actually check and decide if a profile is an illegal clone.

If we banned everyone based on what some random user claims is a clone, there'd be thousands more bans than there are now.

Well, that's exactly what I said right here:
Go ahead and look. Look, it's on you guys to verify this since you have the access. I don't care who says who is a clone; I stated she is one, and everything I mentioned above still stands. If you actually value my input (which it feels like you don't), then don't try to argue with facts before checking them. She's a clone, a serious one, and she's causing trouble across multiple threads. Or did you even read the thread where she's straight-up attacking even your own colleagues?
northernpilot2 is a good guy, but the truth is he hasn't dealt with the Offtopic section for a while now. 😉
Bottom line is, if there's a will, there's a way. Just show some initiative and fix the unacceptable behavior on this forum. While you're at it, take a look at my profile; you'll see I'm definitely not someone struggling with the site rules.😉
Thanks😁

Rachel Palmer56 said:Okay, seriously though. I’m asking the mods to please keep an eye out for clones wandering around here. They’re basically trampling all over everyone else with how they act. I’ve taken a good look at my own behavior, and I know I’m not the one causing issues for others. But there’s someone running a whole squad of clones—people who don't follow a single rule and have been kicked off multiple other sites—who really needs to be dealt with properly.
Basically, you see this on the off topics: a user starts a thread under one account, but then shows up writing under a completely different one, even though their main account isn't banned. It’s super confusing.

As someone who's been around here a long time and has never had a problem with the mods, I’m asking you to step in and penalize these clone antics. Doing this would show support for those of us playing by the rules. If nothing is done, you’re basically telling everyone that running clones is just business as usual here.
I stumbled onto a thread that actually shocked me because this person had the nerve to try and lecture people while being a clone herself.

I'm standing with the moderators here. I know how much of a headache it is when people target you like that.

Please just stick to the site rules. Thanks. 😁

I should mention that these are just a tiny fraction of the clones out there. There are way more. These are just a few examples.
Quoting on purpose.

Okay, seriously though. I’m asking the mods to please take a look at the clone topics running wild on here. These people are just walking all over everyone else with how they act. I’ve looked back at my own posts, and honestly, I know I’m not the one causing trouble for others. But someone who’s running a whole fleet of clones—people who don't follow a single rule and have been kicked out of multiple subforums—really needs to be dealt with properly.
To be specific, on the off threads, there's this user who started a thread under an active account (so she isn't banned), but then she's posting everything under a completely different handle. It's super confusing.

As a long-time member who’s never really had any issues with moderation, I’m asking you guys to actually penalize these clone stunts. If you do, you're showing support for the rest of us who play by the rules. If you do nothing, you're basically telling everyone that being a clone is totally fine on this site.
I stumbled upon a thread today that shocked me because this person actually had the nerve to complain about something while acting as a clone.

I'm totally with the mods on this one. I feel for you guys when people like her start targeting you. I know how much it sucks.

Just please stick to the forum rules. Thanks. 😁
