You’re free to think whatever you like, but you could have just started a new thread instead of making this post—it isn't that much effort. I suppose I could, too, but I simply can't bring myself to do it for some insignificant Congressman who hasn't accomplished a single noteworthy thing in this session. It’s not about me or us; it's about whoever actually has the drive to do it.

Adam Barrett said:I'm totally down to reopen this thread. As for those "history lesson" posts? Just tighten up the moderation. If someone starts acting up like that, hit 'em with a 3-day ban and they'll get the hint real quick.

One major reason is that it's become pointless; banning people for the exact same thing over and over isn't working.

But let's not get sidetracked. That specific thread won't be reopened since he's no longer in office, but anyone is free to start a new one about US Congressman Zlatko Hasanbegović—provided the opening post is actually decent.

Lock it.

But you really have to see it to believe it. You have to.

Basically, I’ve been covering almost everything for them. I stay low on the defensive end, though I barely get anything above the rim since my follow-through naturally pulls me down.

Adam Collins4 said:So, the ball hits the Norwegian player inside the six-yard box, and they call a free kick instead?

Clearly not blind.

Adam Collins4 said:First they miss the obvious traveling call, then they wave off a perfectly good goal...

To be fair, the goal would have been invalid due to the traveling, but they didn't even catch the foul.

Completely lost their way...

Charles Fox10, want me to step in?

They made several calls here that wouldn't even pass a training scrimmage. This is supposed to be top-tier officiating, yet it's been an embarrassingly simple game so far.

Adam Collins4 said:Double advantage for the Norwegians. Another officiating blunder... frankly, abysmal.

Honestly, I can't wrap my head around them. They aren't biased toward anyone, yet they still manage to call it poorly.

If we chase them, we’re dead. Play it cool, and we might actually walk away with it.

Well, damn.

Goalkeeper.

Adam Collins4 said:Since they play 60 minutes every single game for the club...

If two minutes counts, then seven minutes does too...

I'm done talking about the refs.🤦

Red card. He had both hands on the neck, yet they missed the penalty.

🤔Where on earth is the black hole?😬

Man, that was an absolute grind. Tough game. Good job, boys.👍

All sorted. Ready to close up shop.

Every post exceeding 10,000 has been migrated to the new thread, and just one single post was deleted today from the Mesić 1 topic.☕

The thread is open, but please, read this one more time.

Pizvo said:The thread is locked until further notice. I’ll be consulting with the other moderators on next steps, but consider this a warning: heavy sanctions are coming. You’ve all crossed the line with this toxic fan behavior.

No one gave an order. There is no censorship here. The only reason this thread is temporarily closed is because of the content in the colleague's post where he locked it. Honestly, some of you should probably thank him for sparing you a mountain of warnings and potential bans.

This might stay under lock and key.

Just so you know, this thread has been locked. It’s happened with all the similar ones over the years this forum has been running—this definitely wasn't the first time.

Matthew Castillo5 said:I’m pulling this specific part from the thread over on the Politics subforum just so I don't get flagged again for critiquing the moderation team.

Well, I expect it, and I have every right to. You aren't just some random user; you’re a moderator here. If someone were to post that all Americans are geniuses while Mexicans are idiots (or vice versa), or if they claimed all liberals are brilliant while conservatives are morons, or even that men are smart and women are dumb—would that just sit there without consequence? Or would a moderator actually step in? In some cases, labeling an entire group of people with a single trait is considered hate speech, so why is it treated differently in others?

So, my question stands: does the frequent claim that all religious people are stupid and all atheists are smart constitute hate speech, or doesn't it?

The only thing you can reasonably expect is a consistent style. As for an answer... well, given the context of the post, I'm done talking.

I issued you a three-day ban with a 50-day point penalty. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure why it landed on 50 days instead of 30, 10, or 275; had you asked me back around September 7th, I might have had an answer for you, but right now, I haven't the slightest clue. As for your claim regarding the lack of appeal rights, I’m equally lost. And just to be clear, I didn't personally set the ban duration to 50 days.
