I've gone ahead and locked this thread because the constant bickering and back-and-forth fighting was getting out of hand. We'll look into reopening it once things have been tidied up a bit and/or the heat dies down, so we'll just have to see how it goes.
You’re really out here looking for trouble now. Look, I have absolutely nothing against people being critical, but there's a massive difference between having an opinion and just straight-up trolling and being disrespectful. Honestly, I don't see any issue at all with those penalties you picked up.
Nicole Moore9 said:I killed off my old account, so I'm using this one now. I'm not interested in posting from an account that's stuck with partial bans on three different subreddits.
It's not like you guys can permanently ban me from the psychology board, no matter what I do... So why can't these partial bans just be lifted? Seriously, what kind of rules are these? Get it together.
The thing is, those partial bans are essentially indefinite—they're permanent unless someone decides otherwise. Removing them isn't a right you can claim; it's entirely at the discretion of the site admins. Plus, just so we're clear, a ban applies to the actual person, not just the specific username. You aren't allowed to jump into subreddits where you've been restricted using any other profile. Don't try it, because this current account could end up getting a permanent ban, and the other one could get hit with a multi-week suspension. If it keeps happening, the penalties only get harsher.
The whole reason we have separate threads is to keep things organized. Just make sure you're posting in the right section according to the rules, and there shouldn't be any issues with posts being deleted.
Look, we haven't listed absolutely every single possible reason someone could get banned here. We just pulled out the most frequent offenses and the heaviest hitters, but let’s be real—there's always going to be some loophole or clever way people try to skirt the rules just to land themselves a ban anyway. It’s the same deal with permanent bans; we don't provide an exhaustive list of "forgiven" scenarios because those are handled on an extremely exceptional basis. There is no rule saying we owe anyone a reversal of a permanent ban, and there's certainly no "right" to have one lifted. We look at every single case individually, weighing a whole mountain of different factors before making a call.
I feel like we've already gone over this, and I know you aren't happy with how things stand. I totally get that this isn't the answer you were hoping for, but honestly, I don't see any point in us going in circles about it anymore.
mistyscout34 said:Since the higher-ups haven't bothered to step in here yet, I’ll just answer your question in my own shitty way:
"I don't give a damn about you or any of you assholes. What, are you his lawyer or something?"
Yeah. I’m actually dying to see how the pathetic moderators react. Let’s see if we get some double standards now. If this asshole gets to fight and insult people, then I guess I have the same right, don't I?
Nah, we both know you're only typing this because you want to bait a reaction, not because you actually care.
You already reported him to the mods, so they'll see it eventually. But look, this is just a chat room, and chats are usually way more laid back—if they're even moderated at all—so let's not blow this out of proportion unless someone is doing something serious, like doxxing or actual harassment.
Nicholas Barnes74 said:Yeah, exactly.👍 I took a quick look at how this blew up, and I see some guy spreading hate toward believers by basically targeting Americans as a whole: "man, I just can't deal with the American mentality, it's an allergy, seriously... if you know what I mean. I can't stand the corruption, the shadiness, the constant maneuvering..." The thing is, some people just show up to dump their toxicity—it can happen on any topic, really, but especially where people are allowed to express themselves. Our opinions are never going to be the same, thank God, but there's supposed to be a certain charm to a good debate. But here? There isn't any actual debate. It's just, like I said, people venting toxicity and projecting their insecurities—basically trying to compensate for their own issues by tearing down anyone who thinks differently.
Honestly, you’re being incredibly obnoxious, constantly lashing out and trying to belittle everyone else here. I have absolutely zero motivation to engage in any kind of serious conversation with someone acting like this.

It’s honestly heartbreaking how much hate directed at people based on their race or sexual orientation has taken over the Television subforum lately. We’re doing everything we can to fight it, but it clearly feels like we're falling behind. And this whole "woke" thing has basically become a cancer infecting almost every discussion; people just blame everything on it. This subforum used to be about having fun, but sadly, over the last few years, it’s turned into such a toxic space—especially when you look at the Series section. My apologies to everyone.
Also, could we please bring back that Lucifer post being mentioned? If what he said was accurate (unless it was just collateral damage from deleting troll threads), I'd love to see it again. Since you agreed with the complaint, I didn't dig too deep into the specifics, but fundamentally, a series is an extension of the comic. If someone has zero clue about the source material or the author's work, yet they use that lack of knowledge to just bash the show in the most dismissive way possible, then that should probably be moderated too. It really prevents people who actually understand the lore from having a high-quality, meaningful conversation while they're enjoying the show.
I haven't really found any solid proof that Sandra Sanders49 and Kendall Jenner are actually the same person. That's about as far as I can go with this one.
It’s not even about the specific sentence itself. The real issue here is that this blatant, useless piece of spam was posted by someone who has been told—essentially every single day for years now—exactly what constitutes spam and why it’s annoying. We have spent countless hours politely asking them to just stop, yet here we are. That’s why they got the ban hammer. It isn't just about the content; it's about the attitude. When someone has been warned more times than there are grains of sand on a beach, you can't just brush it off and say, "Oh, it's just one extra sentence, no big deal." The problem is the pattern of systematic spamming from a total manchild who clearly enjoys being a nuisance more than... Elon Musk. 😬
Sandra Sanders49 said:Hey, could someone please give me a ban on the FBI site? Honestly, I’m spending way too much time hanging out here, and it’s starting to mess with my productivity at work and my life at home—it’s just becoming a huge distraction. Lately, I feel like I’ve been living more on this forum than in the real world, and I know that isn't healthy. I wasn't sure what the options were, though—is there anything besides a permanent ban? If a temporary one is an option, I’d definitely prefer that. Thanks!
We can set up a partial ban for a specific number of days, though we have to lift it manually on our end. Just reach out whenever you're feeling ready to come back—assuming you haven't changed your mind about wanting the break. 🙂
