Look, just strip that other URL out of the link and leave the Reddit one alone; if you do that, it should actually take you where you need to go without all this nonsense.
redhawk76 said:Thanks, really, but was it honestly that much effort to just put that explanation on the first page instead of triggering three whole pages of unnecessary hysteria? I’m pretty sure everyone here is rational enough to take a simple clarification at face value and just hang tight until the problem actually gets fixed. Relationships. It’s one of those topics people love to dissect like they’re performing open-heart surgery on a Sunday afternoon, isn't it? Everyone has an opinion, everyone thinks they’ve cracked the code, yet here we are, still stumbling around in the dark most of the time. You see people arguing over whether it's about passion or stability, or whether you can truly be yourself without accidentally driving the other person toward a mid-life crisis, and honestly, it just feels like a massive, ongoing debate with no winner. It’s less about finding that perfect, cinematic soulmate and more about navigating the messy, unscripted reality of two different personalities trying to occupy the same headspace without causing a total system failure. It’s complicated, it’s exhausting, and frankly, it’s usually much more interesting when you stop trying to follow the manual and just deal with the chaos as it happens. Look, you guys really need to wrap your heads around this—it actually matters.
So, you’re basically asking if I want to come over so you can snuggle up before bed while we both play lookout for some monster lurking under the bed? Honestly, that sounds like a solid plan, though I can't promise I won't get distracted by whatever snacks you have stashed away. Consider me on duty for any midnight intruders. Look, we’ve all ended up in the exact same mess, haven't we? We're all staring at the same impossible situation, and if I haven't managed to figure out any actual answers myself, then I'm certainly not going to sit here and pretend I have anything useful to tell you guys.
nobody's actually stepped up because, if I'm being honest, even we aren't entirely sure what's going on here from where I'm sitting, it looks like nothing more than a temporary hiccup that'll be sorted out soon enough
My answer is a hard no. If you really want my two cents, you’ve more than earned a permanent ban at this point, and honestly, all this nonsense with you posting under different names just proves you have zero intention of ever stopping. mellowraven22, if you decide to lift the ban, I won't be the one complaining, but in my opinion, you actually deserved the hammer much earlier than you finally got it.
I honestly think you ought to keep our previous conversations in mind and remember what I told you back then it’s just not in my nature, nor would I gain a single thing by going out of my way to hunt down or harass you, or anyone else for that matter if anything, I’m at my happiest when this forum is free from drama and all those other little headaches that ruin a good community vibe
if you feel the need to drag this out, you can take it to a private message, but as far as lifting your ban goes, I’ve already made it clear that I’m leaving that call up to mellowraven22, and there's a reason for that it isn't because I have some personal vendetta against you; it's more that in the past, whenever someone was coming after me, I was the one deciding whether or not to lift their ban
Slavko, let’s get one thing straight so there isn't any confusion here: you were hit with a permanent ban because you wouldn't stop stalking mellowraven22 and leaking his private info, along with a bunch of other stuff that simply has no place on this forum. And honestly, that was just the tip of the iceberg, so I wouldn't be so quick to throw around the word "unfair" like it actually applies to you.
Since mellowraven22 was the one being targeted, if he decides to lift the ban, that’s entirely on him—I’m not going to step in or argue against it, regardless of how much I dislike people who behave exactly the way you did.
Smurf Papa finally got the penalty he deserved, so honestly, it was about time. Moderators, I’m going to ask you nicely to please stop editing user posts unless it’s some kind of absolute emergency.
I could probably shave off enough from the partial payment to cover those subscription fees for you, and then we can just settle up the difference later on
vividtiger922 said:Can anyone shed some light on who’s actually running the show with the new PŽK moderators? I ask because a few days ago, someone mentioned that the entire supermod team is handling the PŽK oversight now. I'm talking about general discussion threads, not the actual appeals or rulings... So, is it really everyone, or just that specific group we were told about?
BTW, if you do some simple math, it turns out the new rules and that notice about removing partials got way more eyes on them in just a few hours than the new rules pinned at the top did in an entire week. Thanks for actually listening to the people once in a while...
it's all the supermods, though these guys will also be dealing with extra post reports and making sure everyone actually follows the PŽK rules
How can you say you don't know? If you're claiming that only a handful of people had their partials removed, that pretty much implies you're aware of the others who are still sitting on them. So, if you actually laid out exactly who those people are, you'd be doing us all a massive favor, and honestly, you'd be helping them out too.
We’ve gone ahead and lifted those partial bans for everyone on our list—just so we're all clear, that applies specifically to the organization's matters If anyone somehow slipped through the cracks and was missed, just shoot a DM to Tyndall or me
The slightly awkward part here is having to post a notice on a PDF that most of you forum regulars won't even be able to see anyway 🙂
It was reported early this morning, though honestly, we’re probably just looking at some hiccup with the load balancer trying to shuffle traffic across the servers but hey, there's no harm in double-checking just so we can all stop worrying about it, right?
Some poor little guy using that bypass is acting all shocked, like, "Oh, I had no idea The New York Times was blocked," or whatever 😁 Let’s not get carried away here, please
This whole thread is actually a perfect example of how you can reach a solution if people just bring some constructive energy to the table and show an actual willingness to cooperate for once unfortunately, though, the endless back-and-forth about searching for the key and all the excuses for why they can't find it is just telling that other, much uglier story we all know too well
