This entire forum has basically become a synonym for censorship and a total disgrace to any kind of open public debate.
Two whole pages of nothing but trolling, and I still haven't received a single explanation as to why my access to the Coronavirus subforum was revoked.

No, they’re just fixating on the technicality of me opening two threads at once, without even bothering to look at the actual context
of why that happened in the first place. The forum didn't even display the first thread when I posted! Maybe it was a software glitch? Who knows—whatever.
Then, after I opened the second one, the first one finally showed up. I guess I was just too fast for the system. If I had the option, I would have just deleted that first thread myself,
but the forum doesn't allow that.

Peace out, you losers and cowards.

And you, brightsailor17! Stop riding coattails with coppersailor28.

So, censorship. Got it.

coppersailor28 said:🤦

What on earth are you even talking about?

You could have just nuked that second thread if things weren't working out with the first one.
The end result would be exactly the SAME—which is (since the threads are basically identical):
just one single thread

(wait, hold up—are you suggesting the second thread isn't actually exactly the same as the first, and that the first thread is somehow distinct from the second?)

Seriously, stop trying to wiggle out of this!

Honestly, I have zero clue what you're getting at.
I couldn't find any option to delete a thread. If there is one, then whatever...

Anyway, you guys have completely cluttered up this thread with this useless nonsense about two different topics... all while ignoring my actual question about why I can't access information regarding the Coronavirus.

coppersailor28 said:Maybe our friend @wearybison63 is happy with that "answer"—who knows...
...but I can tell you one thing: I’m not.

With that pathetic little attempt to dig yourself out of the hole you dug for yourself in the first place , you've officially moved from questionable to downright suspicious.

And how on earth can YOU be so certain it was just "technical issues," huh?!

I'm waiting to see what kind of "explanation" honest answer ☕ you're going to try to dodge this time.

What are you even talking about?
I started a thread here asking a question, but it didn't gain any traction.
Then I opened the exact same thread again. This time it stuck, alongside the first one.
The system wouldn't let me delete the first one.

Regardless, nobody has actually answered why you guys stripped my access to the Coronavirus subforum.

Is the narrative finally failing? Are we starting to dismantle your story with actual arguments?

It’s honestly embarrassing to see what this forum has turned into.

brightsailor17 said:Future moderator, hopefully. 🙂 You asked.

Aha... so you're basically sucking up to the current mods, jumping into threads that have nothing to do with you just to score some points for a moderation gig?
Yeah, I see exactly what kind of guy you are.

wearybison63 said:So why on earth are you opening literally two identical threads?

Because there were some technical glitches with the first thread. It just wasn't showing up properly. And since I can't delete it, this was the move. You happy now?

brightsailor17 said:The way you start threads pretty much gives it away. Total spammer.

Who even are you? And more importantly, did anyone actually ask for your opinion?

Why on earth did you guys ban me from the Coronavirus subforum?

Casey Bennett said:Well, obviously, if something was posted and then subsequently deleted, it clearly didn't comply with the rules. Simple logic, right? 🤷

There's zero logic here. Just define what's allowed and which memes fly so we don't waste everyone's time.

Casey Bennett said:But just look at this, kid. My very first post.

Moderators oversee compliance with the user code of conduct on Reddit, and they are fully authorized to edit or remove any content that fails to meet the site's rules and editorial policy.

Nobody is obligated to explain themselves to anyone; you agreed to these terms the moment you registered on this site. As far as I recall, even that other platform follows the exact same rule.

So, what, are we supposed to study the editorial policy just to figure out what we can and can't post?

Morgan Peterson said:I must admit, I am somewhat perplexed—what kind of tyranny is being exerted by the moderation team and this new moderator over all of you?
From what I can gather, and based on my acquaintance with this group, if Peter were to be appointed as a moderator, you would undoubtedly find some reason to grumble.
It was explicitly stated that we require assistance; the PDF is massive and incredibly taxing to moderate while we navigate these current and acute phases of the pandemic, so it was only a matter of time before extra help was added to the moderation staff.
The fact that the new moderator remains entirely anonymous should not trouble you, as the rules applied to them are identical to those applied to us veterans.
Do not insult, do not comment on the moderation within the PDF, and rather than engaging with controversial posts, simply report them.
Simple as that.

Morgan,

Who deleted the memes in the coronavirus subforum without even giving an explanation?

I’m officially lodging a protest regarding the decision to shut down the thread about Angela Merkel skipping the ceremony for our entry into the European Union. Apparently, the topic is just too "sensitive," and it looks like it was killed solely because the moderator didn't like anyone's personal take on it. That reason is a total joke. We already have existing threads discussing the Prime Minister and the Perković Law, but the fact that Europe's most prominent leader isn't showing up definitely warrants its own discussion. Especially now that it’s become crystal clear that the Prime Minister straight-up lied about why we accepted that controversial legislation.

It feels like someone here is trying to sweep things under the rug, which just doesn't fly in a democratic forum like this.

Just another round of diplomatic heavy-lifting from the UK, trying to squeeze something out of the European Union and calling it a day. Honestly, the Brits are absolute pros at this kind of maneuvering.

Move this thread out of politics. Nobody cares about trash here.
