loneharbor47 said:... precisely because this involves such a shameful rationale from the Supreme Court, I figured only legal professionals could truly grasp it—and only they should be commenting on it in a legal capacity. If I had wanted laypeople to weigh in, I would have moved the discussion over to Politics...
Given that many of the same users frequent both the Law and Politics boards, I assumed anyone interested would find the topic elsewhere. Based on my past experience with similar threads, I felt it belonged in Politics (besides, you’re even congratulating a man here who would likely face sanctions on the Law board)🤷).👍
loneharbor47 said:... yet you chose censorship instead of just moving it to Politics...
Regarding thread migration: if there had been enough substantive posts, I would have moved it. Since there wasn't, it was deleted.👍
And no, that isn't censorship.👍
loneharbor47 said:... so much for you and your grand moderation style...
I haven't spent any time elevating myself or my moderation duties.👍
loneharbor47 said:... from what I gather, you'd prefer people getting free legal advice on the Law board while leaving commentary on court rulings to the amateurs over in Politics...
loneharbor47 said:I’m curious—why did my thread "The Shame of the Supreme Court" just vanish from the subforum?
Is censorship now being applied to any criticism whenever someone points out the disgracefulness of the state and its institutions?
Come on, you legal experts—you moderators who censored this—I’d love to hear one single constructive explanation...
Do you honestly assume that every moderator is automatically a legal expert?😕
Regarding the topic itself, given its nature and the way you framed it, my opinion as a moderator is that it belongs in the Politics subforum rather than Law. As evidence, look at the response from user krena, though the input from granitegull51 on this thread is even more telling. The Law section is intended for technical discussion, not as a platform for venting outrage or expressing blind support. For instance, if granitegull51 had posted that here, they would have received a warning for making baseless, sweeping generalizations.👍
And as for censoring criticism, the Law subforum, just like all the others, is filled with various critiques that remain untouched and visible.👍
As vividraven26 pointed out, you can just head down to the District Court and request a copy. You'll be able to see everything right there in the enforcement division where the whole mess started—since they're the ones pushing things toward wage garnishments or swapping fines for jail time and whatnot.👍
User mom2be mentioned that the issue was actually resolved in her favor. If anyone needs more specific details on how that went down, feel free to reach out to her directly. Best regards.
redridge13, a daycare center isn't exactly a public square, and you've addressed the rest of the points quite clearly from a legal standpoint. For those looking to dive deeper into this debate, I’d kindly ask that you head over to the subforums specifically designed for those topics. Any comments deemed inappropriate for this particular section have been removed, and I would appreciate it if we could avoid dragging old grievances into this thread moving forward. If anyone has further legal insights to contribute, please feel free to reach out via private message so we can facilitate that properly. Thanks for understanding.
Michael Martinez97 said:Is it actually mandatory to let them in, and what happens if I just refuse? I guess you have to weigh things out so the creditor gets officially notified. What kind of legal fallout am I looking at if I don't allow entry? Honestly, it’s just tragic—losing a massive two-story house where two big families are living, all because of some debt starting at $2333 plus interest. 🙂 Someone please give me an answer.
The next time they show up, they’ll likely have the police and a locksmith in tow; if you don't open the door, they'll just force their way in, and you'll end up footing the bill for the extra costs.🤷
Justin Harris12 said:Of course not, but honestly, your forum feels completely dead, like everyone just bailed on it. I find it hard to believe there isn't a single soul around who doesn't know everything except you. I’ve been scrolling through page after page, and for the most part, it’s just you posting constantly. If it weren't for the fact that you’re always deleting posts and cracking down on anything you personally disagree with, I might actually give you credit for trying to help users, but looking at this place, it feels like people are either intimidated by you holding a total monopoly over the conversation, or they just genuinely don't care about topics like lawyers, police officers, or civil servants.
Look, again, this isn't some malicious attack and I don't even know you, I'm just calling it like I see it while browsing your site. I didn't expect you to actually see this and reply; I just figured someone might comment and leave it at that. But, since you did show up, I guess we can actually discuss your forum.
Based on the view counts, it seems like everyone’s still here, hovering in the shadows as usual.🤷

How can you say that? There are plenty of brilliant people on this board who consistently put out top-tier responses.👍

I’ve been around this block a few times—both as a regular member and as a moderator—so I can say with some degree of certainty that I’ve found myself in just about every single one of the situations being discussed here.👍

Only two entries were scrubbed this year. I also cleared out three duplicates that lingered after some threads were merged, though I don't expect anyone to take issue with that. To be clear: I am not in the business of deleting "incorrect" answers.👍

We are dealing with a highly specialized niche here—one where most people are blissfully unaware of the details (and frankly, it’s probably for the best). I can't speak to the specific professional backgrounds of everyone contributing to this thread, but we clearly have a mix of law enforcement officers, attorneys, people who have lived through these situations firsthand, and those who simply possess the necessary expertise.👍

I honestly believe there are plenty of other contributors on this platform who provide excellent, high-quality responses, and they deserve a lot of credit for it.👍
As for my own role—what am I supposed to do? Should I just skip over questions I actually know the answer to simply because I hold a moderator position?😕
And what about the users? Are they expected to go hunt for answers somewhere else just because I'm here?😕
Sometimes the counter just goes haywire and starts flipping numbers around, which you’ll notice if you try to check them later. If that isn't the issue, there's a chance some of your threads were deleted or moved to a section of the forum where posts aren't tracked, effectively wiping out your count by default.👍
Technically, you could face legal action here by filing a motion for criminal prosecution. Once the police take that report, they’ll pass it along to the District Attorney, who then decides whether to pursue the charges themselves or leave it to the library to file a private suit against you. Either way, expect them to come after you for damages—essentially the full replacement value of the books.👍
P.S.: Just because you find the whole concept "bizarre" doesn't give you a free pass to rob everyone else of the joy of reading.👍
Well, nothing to be done about that, I suppose. It just means you’ll have to put in a bit more effort if you want to make up for that hit to your rating.😬
If you’ve noticed some posts vanishing from the Career & Professional Development subforum, it’s likely because we’re currently undergoing some minor housekeeping—shuffling things around and doing a bit of digital spring cleaning. Beyond that, we regularly prune older threads across all our boards to keep everything tidy, which can lead to a sudden dip in the total post count.👍
Do you have any actual documentation to confirm exactly what you’ve paid for? If you settled the fine itself but overlooked the towing fees, they likely sued you specifically for those costs—and in those instances, the statute of limitations is practically non-existent. That’s probably what happened here; a standard fine doesn't just balloon if you don't pay it, and the government doesn't typically initiate aggressive collections that way. However, if you already covered the towing charges, then we're likely looking at a clerical error on their end. Who exactly sent you that last notice you mentioned? To be absolutely certain of where you stand, I’d suggest gathering all your receipts and heading down to the local courthouse to review the case file in person.👍
While that’s technically outside the scope of this specific discussion, if you had paid even a modicum of attention to the controversial thread earlier, you’d know I’m firmly in favor of every officer across all branches of law enforcement wearing clearly visible identification. We stated our position—so what? Are we really going to spend the next hundred comments just wallowing in misery over it? Threads should be reserved for substantive questions and actual debate, not endless grievances.👍
And since we’re on the subject of "rights," why on earth should there even be a designated spot for a badge on a uniform?😕
Also, under which username were you supposedly posting and getting censored? Because looking at the trail here, you weren't censored; you were simply violating the rules. When, precisely, did I censor you?😕
EDIT: I see you’ve updated your post. Which username and which topics are we actually discussing here? I’m not asking to bait you; I genuinely want to clarify the reasoning behind the deletion.👍
He could have phrased it that way, but the outcome wouldn't have changed. These aren't the appropriate topics—nor is this the right subforum—for debating things like civilian oversight of the police and similar matters that tend to drift in here. It isn't an issue to touch upon that subject using a specific case as a jumping-off point, along with plenty of others, but if one is looking for a substantive discussion on those issues, they really ought to head over to a different subforum.👍
