The moderator already laid out the reasoning behind the title, so I honestly don't see what the big deal is. Whether they include specific figures in future posts is entirely up to the mods and how they decide to handle things. There really isn't any need for all this unnecessary drama over it.

They really dragged poor little Norah through the mud, playing guessing games with her diagnoses, leaking "verified" info from the hospital, and even calculating how much longer she might have if she’d actually survived the surgery... 😢 And it wasn't just her; they treated her family with that same level of disrespect. You don't even need to be a parent to realize how absolutely disgusting this behavior is—honestly, even on Tracey, you should at least show a shred of dignity. I truly don't think I need to go into detail here or get into a whole argument about it.

I reached out to my go-to fashion expert, but they weren't around at the moment—hopefully, they'll get back to me soon with some insight!

Nothing they said actually answered any of my questions.

Look, I get it—you aren't getting the answers you were hoping for, and it feels like you'd much rather just hear one specific side of the story. But the mods have to look at the big picture here; their job is to look out for the entire community, not just individual users. If you're truly at a loss for words and have nothing else to add, then there isn't much left for us to discuss. I really just hope you take a moment to sit with what’s been said here and give it some thought.

darkmarlin16 said:What exactly did he explain? He didn't explain why he isn't handing out warnings to everyone else who's clearly trolling and trying to stir the pot.

Look, darkmarlin16, if they actually handed you a warning for every single one of your posts that deserved it, you’d barely have time to breathe before you were hit with another ban. You really shouldn't be complaining here because, honestly, the mods are being pretty lenient with you; if I were you, I’d take my advice and stop poking the bear. Other people get warned too, and when you compare their offenses to yours, they’re actually getting hit way harder than you are.

And please, don't start bringing up other people's trolling comments from different threads—for every one of those you point out, I can find at least one of yours, and I'm really not in the mood to play that game right now. Consider this your fair warning, and I suggest you take what's written here seriously.

swifttiger75 said:Unlike Paddington, who viewed this as a peaceful little town right up until the recent chaos, Tamburelo was a den of sin. A massive saloon, a casino, and the brothel run by Madam Nice—even the train station itself—gave this place its momentum. It acted as a magnet for every kind of opportunist, making life in Tamburelo sweet, though often short-lived. Sheriff Pangloss has already posted notices looking for deputies twice in the last month. (If you want in on this, step up)

Mr. The End, a local powerhouse who uses his crew to terrorize local ranchers into selling their land cheap, stood at the station waiting for the fast MAXYMA—perhaps the quickest gunslinger in these parts. The train was late, as usual, and Mr. The End was losing patience. He knew MAXYMA's services wouldn't come cheap, but he needed them for what he had planned. Especially after being turned down by Kimi, the most famous bounty hunter from this side of Ria Spa.

"Where the hell is that train!" The End muttered to himself, pacing the platform nervously.
"It’s only natural it's running late, boss..." Jamie Barnes15 tried to suck up to him.
"Natural? Nothing in this town is natural!!!" The End snapped.
"Probably that conductor Sean Smith5 got drunk again and forgot to shovel the coal," Franem remarked ironically.
"If that's actually the case, I want him taught a lesson!" The End barked.
"With pleasure, boss," Jamie Barnes15 replied.

Meanwhile, Sean Smith5 was casually tipping back a nearly empty bottle, letting the wind hit his face. His assistant, brightwolf48, pulled the whistle cord to signal their imminent arrival in Tamburelo. The shrill screech of steam echoed through the valley...

I've got a wonderful role, thank you very much! 😍

I just popped in to leave my signature on this thread. 🥳

Hey, come on now, let’s dial back the arrogance when you start these threads. Trust me, your partial payment isn't going anywhere.

darkmarlin16 said:rustydrifter10, you even still alive over there?

William Bennett53 laid it out perfectly for you, and honestly, looking at the PDF boards he moderates, you basically handed him the evidence himself. I don't have anything else to say to that.

You’re just poking the bear, trolling, and ignoring everything people tell you—it feels like you're just getting worse as time goes on. Your permanent ban was lifted because everyone thought you’d finally grown up and stopped causing drama on the forums, but here you are, already racking up partial bans on every single board you touch, except for Formula 1. All I can tell you is this: since it's pretty obvious you aren't following the rules required to stay unbanned anymore, the second the mods over at Formula 1 (or any other board) decide they've had enough of your attitude and call for a partial ban, you won't just be getting a warning—you'll be facing a full permanent ban again.

Seriously, there is zero point in collecting partial bans like you're trying to catch them all in Pokémon across every board you visit; that kind of user isn't what we want here. So, take a moment and really think about what you actually want and what's better for you: either calm down, lay low, get your act together, and start respecting the rules, or keep going at this pace and say a final goodbye to this community for good.

Look, once a user retires their old handle, they can actually get permission to start posting under a new one right away, so I really don't see what the big deal is if things are playing out the way William Bennett53 says they are.

Your threads are getting deleted because you’re just posting question marks instead of actually saying something! Honestly, if you keep this up, you're going to be getting hit with a warning every single time—which is exactly what should have happened with these posts, too. If we're being real about how things are being handled here, I think even the current moderation is being way too lenient on you.

Jacob Cooper5 said:Alright, I get where you're coming from there.
Is it actually technically possible for an admin to bypass the automated system—you know, just manually disabling the ability to post while leaving every other feature intact? 🙂

Look, it’s pretty straightforward: either you have the right permissions and can actually view the PDF, or you don't have them and you're stuck just being able to type on it.

You can't actually start a whole new thread just to talk to another user here. Your best bet is to just shoot them a private message instead. Also, if you’ve got some kind of grievance regarding how the Film subforum is being moderated, we already have a dedicated topic set up for that.

Go find yourselves another playground.

Justin Harris12 said:Thanks, rustydrifter10! Seriously, what you put together is awesome, and this increase is going to be a huge help for me.

I'm really glad to hear that. 🙂

I've dropped about 200 messages in here for you all, so I really hope you're happy with that! We're hitting a bit of a wall and can't squeeze out any more for now, but honestly, I think what we've got is pretty solid. 🙂

How many messages would you guys personally send?

coppermarlin13 said:I was looking for some receipts, if we're really going there.

Look, you can search all you want, but at the end of the day, the admin team makes the calls.

just lock it right after a user's reply if you're so determined to be the "cool" moderator who closes things down.

Honestly, I do close threads immediately following a user's post sometimes; just scroll through the FBI archives and you'll see plenty of locked threads where the very last word belonged to a regular user.

coppermarlin13 said:There, now you can lock it. Go ahead, hit the lock button. 🙄

Fine, consider it done.

You asked for a warning, and you got one—based on the exact same standards we use for everyone else here on the forum. But look, I’m not going to turn this into another endless debate about the rules. I've gone ahead and locked this thread because the appeal was valid, the decision stands, and the matter is officially settled. It’s just like any other closed topic around here; if we left these things open, people would just keep arguing until they were blue in the face, and honestly, there's really no point in that.

It’s simply because the matter has been settled. Some topics naturally demand a deeper dive and stay open longer for discussion, while others get resolved quickly and we close them out accordingly. We aren't going to keep threads hanging indefinitely when there’s nothing left to be said and the decision is final. To claim that everything gets shut down after just a single reply, or to suggest that most discussions follow that pattern—well, that’s just plain untrue.

Jacob Cooper5 said:Nah. I wanted to hit him back right then and there—same night, actually—but every single time I tried to post, I just got slapped with a message saying my posting privileges on that thread had been revoked. 🙂

Look, I appreciate you trying to help me crack this case, but let’s be real here. This is crystal clear. Someone "accidentally" silenced me in the one damn place where a banned user can actually voice their opinion on a moderator's call. I have no idea why anyone would even think to pull a stunt like that... unless we're dealing with some malicious "enemy of the state." 😕

Look, nobody muted you, and I really think you should hold off on making those kinds of accusations without any proof. I actually took a look at your profile, and there isn't even a partial ban listed on that PDF. It’s much more likely that your ban just expired or you ran into some kind of technical glitch with the site. Honestly, if you did have a partial ban, the system wouldn't even let you load that PDF while logged in under that username, so you wouldn't even be able to try and argue with anyone.
