Ever since Microsoft Edge started acting up again, anything can happen.

I'm glad to see this too. Honestly, I haven't even weighed in on this topic yet. I haven't actually opened a single thread about it.

I'm sorry, you ended up with six 'no' votes and absolutely zero 'yes' votes.

Christian Morales said:It’s because six months have passed. It's also because I was unfairly partially banned from this forum, tried to appeal it here, and just ended up getting banned again.

But look, I'll be the bigger person. I’m going to forgive and move past certain things. I also want to apologize if any of my posts offended anyone here. My apologies to the moderators as well. I don't feel that way about everyone; there are truly honest moderators among you who do their jobs properly and fairly. I also apologize to the folks over at the Soccer PDF group if I offended them generally. My criticisms were aimed at a small minority on this forum, not everyone. When you get a partial ban or a warning for no reason, it tends to make you angry most of the time. I also apologize if I acted a bit foolish. I know I had a tendency to post nonsense here, especially when I was at least five or six years younger, but hey, nobody's perfect. Some of us just need a little time to mature and figure out what life is about. At the end of the day, twenty red cards and at least six bans will teach a man a lesson. But it is what it is. I'm moving forward. I'm changing, becoming better, wiser.

Phew, I don't know what else to write. My brain has hit a wall. 😁 In short, please forgive me for everything I said about you all. Sometimes I turn out to be an idiot too. And I am just as ready to forgive others. 👍

Now please, lift my partial ban. 😁 I’m still going to root for San Francisco; I don't see what the problem is. Besides, what would be left of the MLS if everyone only supported Real Madrid and Liverpool FC? 🤷

Alright, thanks for the request. I'll have a talk with my colleagues.

Christian Morales said:Hey everyone, I was wondering if I could get my partial ban from the Soccer sub lifted. It’s been a partial restriction since April, and since we're already in October, it's been about six months now. I'd really appreciate it if the mods could look into removing it.

Thanks in advance. 😉

And what exactly would be the reason for them to do that?

neonfox12 said:To say I'm disappointed that serious insults are being swept under the rug would be an understatement. Look, if they're allowing new ways to talk trash, why shouldn't I use them? Your response doesn't have any logic to it, nor is it worth the read. 😵😵

I actually called my mom to tell her what you wrote. Now, she's asking for you.

Get real. Everyone knows football forums are a bit more aggressive than average and tend to tolerate a little more heat. But here you are, whining the second someone tells you your take was stupid. Man up.

neonfox12 said:How many points would I get if I sent this to someone else?

Zero. On an American football forum, we don't exactly go around rubbing each other's butts by default. That’s strictly a private matter, but let's not get sidetracked.

lonebadger6 said:Not at all, I don't take it personally 😁
Ali if you ever worked as a moderator, you know firsthand that a post like can land you a serious warning 😉 Ryan Vaughn7 was pretty chill, so he didn't really hand out any penalties 🙂

I think that's one of the best qualities to have, though it’s always nice when an outsider notices. Thanks, lonebadger6.

Keith Miller30 said:Could you please just be a decent human being for once? Instead of hiding behind Bujanac and his constant antics, why not just speak up plainly and say what is clearly obvious to anyone who actually follows politics?

I think you've gone too far here; you seem perfectly fine letting Joe Biden get dragged through the mud to a certain extent, but now you're deciding this is where the line is drawn. If that's your stance, then at least have the courage to state it directly, rather than trying to shut down the conversation by bringing up delusions and cocaine—topics that have absolutely nothing to do with what Joe Biden actually said.

I guess I'll just stay the bad guy forever, then. Scum.

granitefalcon26 said:I really wish more of the higher-ups would step in. This isn't the first slip-up from Edga. He’s constantly disrespecting anyone who doesn't agree with him, which is obvious in this post. He acts all high and mighty, judging everyone as if he were Nica, Dorian, or the owner of the site itself.
He’s calling Mr. Bujanac a Nazi, which could actually land this forum a defamation lawsuit.
This isn't the first time Edga has acted like this. I'm asking the administration to please take action and remove Edga. With his tone, his vulgarity, his threats, and the way he insults any user who doesn't share his views, he hasn't earned the right to be a supermod.
I reported the post properly, so I'm just waiting for the admins to do their jobs.

Honestly, Mr. Bujanec doesn't have the bandwidth for lawsuits over, *sniff*, some juvenile Nazi delusions. He’s much more preoccupied with his night out and working out payment terms with his attorney.

Keith Rivera3 said:Why is it closed? Here’s what I see: I take the same shots at Karamarko as I do at Joe Biden, and I criticize the Republican Party just as hard as those other little fringe parties. Yet, I’ve never even gotten a warning for criticizing the big guys—let alone a ban. But the second I write anything about that red bourgeoisie, I get flagged—by you, by the mods, by Frankrst, the whole lot of them. It seems any thread where we actually critique the Party or its cronies is strictly off-limits. What else am I supposed to conclude? It’s pretty obvious who’s on the payroll over at the political headquarters.

Because it’s manipulative. You have this audio that lacks any visual context—it sounds like something recorded secretly, where you can't tell if it was edited or what the actual setting was. It feels like something cooked up in some low-rent junk shop with zero credibility. Well, we run a serious forum here.

By the way, I took a moment—don't call me lazy—to look into your "persecution." It turns out you spend your time calling people cowards, brainless hacks, partisans, or fascists. Are the moderators responsible for that too?

I’m actually glad you showed up. Honestly, I wouldn't have even noticed you with 55 warnings in a single year; you really are a blessing. I'm starting the process to have you partially banned so you stop polluting the political section of this forum with your repulsive theories. We don't need people like you.

redhawk76 said:Yes, the footage exists, and the link was included in the opening post. (Perhaps you should try checking there first?)

You can play the wit if you like, but your criteria reveal your true colors perfectly well.
It’s an embarrassment to this forum—just as it would be to any other community attempting to call itself a democratic space.

On a different note, my view is that the attacks on Joe Biden here are entirely unfounded, primarily because the full context of his remarks remains unknown.

Think of it this way: if we assume, contrary to the accusations, that he was actually honoring the working class and the uneducated for defending America—if we treat his use of the word "elite" as sarcasm, and if we believe he was offering a self-critical admission that he didn't personally fight on the front lines—then once you listen to the recording, everything aligns seamlessly.

So, it could easily swing either way...

Since we lack the preceding and following remarks, it is impossible to assert with any certainty what his true intention was.

The fundamental issue with our dear President is his boundless arrogance; rather than preparing his speeches with enough rigor to ensure they aren't misconstrued, he insists on acting more brilliant and "spontaneous" than everyone else, which inevitably leads to those incredibly clumsy and foolish gaffes.

Some might label him a master rhetorician... To me, it’s almost comical, given the endless stream of "misunderstandings" triggered by his supposed oratorical skills.

Humorous or not, I’m just not interested in answering questions where the verdict has already been handed down. That guy above, and you too, both seem to have decided why this topic is closed before I even speak. I wouldn't want to get in the way of your certainties. Have fun.

Keith Rivera3 said:Why did Ryan Vaughn7 shut this thread down? Is it because he can't stand seeing anyone actually question the Party instead of bowing down to it?

Exactly. I only have patience for threads that actually celebrate the struggle.

To the proposer and everyone backing this motion,

It’s clear that you’ve held the Office of the President in high regard all these years, and seeing that you intend to keep that tradition alive means a lot. Truly, thank you for bringing this forward.

That said, since we aren't sitting in the editorial offices of The New York Times—the official record of the United States—I think I'll take the liberty of being a little less formal regarding the specific duties and institutional jargon.

On a side note, the President of the United States actually uses a hyphen in her last name. I'd suggest we all get on the same page there; we've spent far too much time arguing over hyphens and missing them.

Best regards,

A fellow member went a little overboard bringing up parents. He got a warning, so he knows better now. You can close this thread.

wiredrider3 said:I don't get it. Why let people be so crude without any consequences?

Directly insulting someone isn't allowed here. For everything else, you just need to use some common sense and show some restraint, much like you would in a normal conversation. Now, when it comes to football, the threshold is a little higher—I mean, good grief, it's football. There’s still a line, of course, but in this specific instance, nobody crossed it.

Ashley Wells35 said:So, what happens now? Is this thread going to get reopened?
After watching that game last night, there’s definitely a lot to say about the US national team.
Come on, guys, give the thread a chance, please. 🙂

jok. It’s true that we had some clever takes at first, but those run out after half a day, and then it just turns into total nonsense. Honestly, I really don't want you flooding us with mindless filler straight from British tabloids anymore. That might be fun for some small-minded folks over in London, but it's just not our vibe here.

Just grab a toothpick and give the splitter a little nudge; that should do the trick.

James Patel20 said:Then Ryan Vaughn7 shows up and hands me a partial ban.

Look, I don't have the authority to hand out partial bans on my own. That’s a collective decision made by the entire moderation team. You received a partial ban because we all agree you're just here to provoke people and troll. Even other users on the Forum—you saw this yourself the other night—view you as a provocateur. Your history with Kartonijada in your profile proves it, too. No one is lifting this ban anytime soon.

slyscout3 said:Does it feel like this whole Reddit thread has drifted way too far to the left for you guys too?

If it’s just me (and I have a feeling it isn't), why do you think that is? What's actually driving it?

It's just to align things better with the political subforum.

redhawk76 said:I have plenty of childhood memories too—some wonderful, some pretty grim—and I can recall specific little snapshots with total clarity, just like you described. But those aren't cohesive, continuous, or chronologically organized blocks of memory covering several months at a time, like the scenario we’re looking at here. Something like that only happens if you're keeping a diary. You can tell me I'm wrong, but that's my take.

Do you actually have memories from Auschwitz? How does that kind of experience even compare to anything else you've lived through? From what I've gathered, there wasn't much in the way of free time there—no ice skating, no swimming, no gym class, no cartoons, no trips to the movies, no playing Angry Birds, and certainly no cute puppies. I've also heard the food was anything but diverse. I don't know. Maybe life is easier to remember when it's boiled down to months of wandering between barracks? Perhaps testimonies about extermination stick more precisely in the mind? Or maybe you remember exactly what you ate because you were stuck eating the same watery soup for six months straight?

redhawk76 said:Everything you just told me could have been posted as a reply to my thread, and all five of them. I still don't get why you're deleting things. It doesn't make sense to me.🤷

Because it would drag this debate into a thread specifically dedicated to Holocaust Remembrance Day. And that isn't fair. It isn't decent, either. That topic deserves reverence, not nonsense.

redhawk76 said:It's just censorship that prevents anyone from mentioning anything "uncomfortable" on certain topics.

In my world, we just call that moderation.
