Kimberly White63 said:Where does it actually say that links to foreign language articles have to be in English?

The only thing I could find in the PDF rules regarding links and foreign language text is this:

Article 6.
• If you're posting text in a foreign language, you MUST include a summary in English! You don't need to translate the whole thing—just give us the gist in one or two quick sentences. Posts without a summary might get deleted.
• Links aren't a substitute for actual content. When you drop a link, you need to briefly explain what's behind it (like the title, a quick summary, or a key quote). It needs to be obvious why that page matters to the discussion.

The reason I feel this way is pretty simple: you don’t actually participate in the Ukraine thread at all. You’re just not there. Ever since I started moderating that topic more intensely, I haven't seen you drop a single post. So, my take is that if you aren't contributing to the Ukraine discussion, you shouldn't be coming in here with these super detailed complaints or trying to get another Redditor sanctioned—especially when they're actually helping drive the conversation forward unlike you.

In a whole string of posts, he keeps dropping links to those Russian tests written in Cyrillic.

He’s even calling Ukrainian soldiers and the legitimate Ukrainian government fascists here. Where is Charles Fox10 hiding now??

Paul Kern12 said:The links are in Cyrillic because that's how they write in Russia, and most of those sites are Russian anyway. What’s the big deal?🤷

Anyway, can someone from the Administration please look into this...

Honestly, what even counts as trolling?

Let’s say you have a sub-forum dedicated to, I don't know, Thompson. You walk in there and point out the fact that the man had Nazi songs in his repertoire. Suddenly, everyone loses their minds, and you're labeled a troll for upsetting peaceful music fans who see lyrics like "thick fog will descend again" as a beautiful description of a sunrise instead of a blatant reference to a famous Nazi anthem.

And yeah, you did troll. 100% true. You upset the forum users and triggered them so hard they started insulting your entire family tree. But honestly, the issue isn't you—it's them. And that brings us right back to the massive problem with this forum: those "scenery-loving" ThompsonoljuBci shouldn't even be here. Humanly speaking, they belong over on Stormfront.

No matter how you slice it, if calling for the opening of concentration camps and the Final Solution to the Yugoslav Question doesn't merit an instant permanent ban, then we're in trouble.

Gross.

Jerry Robinson56 said:Maybe take another look at this or get a second opinion, because I’m pretty sure you’re way off base here. What’s happening in Ukraine has absolutely zero connection to any "American scenario," and the moderators allow for different perspectives without being exclusionary. Just think about why you find it so hard to accept someone else's point of view. I won't list all my arguments here since there's a specific thread for that, so maybe you should go check it out.

Just a quick thought on the Office of the President—the "Chocolate King." It reminds me a lot of the "Flower King."

And both of them answer to their own bosses.

William Bennett53 said:After all the back-and-forth and a long-winded explanation from the supermoderator, I think this thread has finally run its course.
A moderator's job is to be fair and consistent; just because one side is currently shouting louder than the other doesn't mean the moderator needs to step in and protect them.

Charles Fox10 said:Excuse me?? Did we actually restrict something??

It's right there in the intro post, and honestly, it could probably be added to every single thread with just a few tiny tweaks.

It’s not just about restrictions; we’ve basically introduced total censorship.

Are you actually serious right now?????????????????

hiddenrider66 said:for the moderator.

Here’s another interesting one for you.

Some people get away with calling things a "junta," labeling the "National Guard criminals," or talking about "grounded pilots," yet others get shut down just for using the word "pro-Russian."

The real issue is that posts like that just flood this thread constantly. Maybe that's actually the goal for some people.

Looking at a bit of recent history here:

How are we supposed to have a sane debate under these conditions?

loneraven25 said:Punish them? Not really. A Moderator isn't some judge

tasked with handing out punishments based on the KZ.

On a thread like this, a moderator's job is actually pretty tricky,

since they're stuck somewhere between censorship and the duty to report.

If posts directly violate US laws,

they should be reported to the proper authorities.
