Rachel Richardson said:mistyhound94, I’m aware of the situation regarding special privileges and the heightened sensitivity toward offenses following a partial ban.
These are pretty extreme circumstances—I don't intend to repeat them...

I believe I’ve made some actual contributions to both PDFs outside of standard chats or one-on-one conversations with certain members...
Generally speaking, I have started quite a few threads on this Reddit community.
A couple of those ended up in these two PDFs—some were heavily visited and commented on, covering points that went far beyond simple chatting (or horoscope talk)...
On the USA side, they include:
Breaks
Lessons from past relationships

And on the other site—which I’m still hoping for, though it isn't showing much potential right now:
Best sex of my life stories

Similar themes were covered over at the other forum;
Conflict resolution styles and handling disagreements

I shouldn't be viewed as just another mindless chatter who contributes nothing to the community.

I have nothing against you, but I'll tell you why—at least in my opinion regarding these moderators—your request probably won't go through.

First off, the chat. You can "try" to fix yourself, but you're the type of user where 90% of your posts on this entire site are in the chat. I see you've passed the 80,000 mark, and I'm sure you realize those posts were almost certainly in the chat. If you look at your recent activity, it's still mostly chat, and very little actual participation in specific threads. 😁
Accordingly, and I believe the moderators will agree, placing a partial ban on your handle in those subforums is justified because you're still essentially chatting, just in threads located elsewhere on the forum instead of at the top. So, your "efforts" to reduce it don't really help your case.

Second, when I was more active on the US subforum, there were plenty of frictions and arguments, heated debates, and people bringing up private matters (not necessarily from your side), but the US subforum became a pretty unpleasant place to hang out back then. There were definitely reports and everything, since reporting is practically a way of life there. 😁
And your handle showed up in those discussions and arguments quite often, plus likely in reports, so it's easier for the moderators to just remove you than to constantly hover and watch to see if someone is going to start a fight, especially since the US subforum is like a powder keg; one tiny spark and everything goes to hell. 😁

Finally, since you've continued with the chat in other parts of the forum and your lifestyle stays the same, I think the partial ban won't be lifted, at least for the next 6 months, until things settle down. The users you talk to in the chats can just move over to Reddit and keep the same pace because, ultimately, it's just chat. 😁 I mean, if your profile looked different and you were a user who actively participated in all sorts of topics with a lower percentage of chat, your request would probably be taken much more seriously.

Just some friendly advice: maybe don't get so deep into arguments with completely irrelevant people on this site. It isn't worth it, and you really shouldn't feel the need to justify your actions. Doing that just drags you back into the fray, and then you end up right back where you started, begging for a partial ban. I guess it’s fine to clash during a debate and take the heat for it, but I’ve always felt like you have this compulsion to explain yourself and convince everyone that you aren't the person they're "accusing" you of being. Honestly, there probably wouldn't be so many fights if you just told them all to go screw themselves and focused on the people actually worth your time—whether that's here in the threads or in private messages. 😉

Richard Ramirez87 said:Notice how this genius is addressing me in the feminine gender too...

placidorca16 said:Well, yeah—you aren't exactly far from reality, and I can't exactly complain about being bored with life myself.🙂 Basically, things are just getting intense on all fronts!😍

hiddenpuma75 said:My inbox is absolutely overflowing 😬

steelridge58 said:If that's how you feel, then why on earth did you decide to jump into the fray yourself?

hiddenhound3 said:The subject matter itself is inherently absurd, and I find it difficult to believe that anyone with any sense of self-respect would choose to participate in such a discussion. It is equally insulting to women and men who possess even a modicum of intelligence. Furthermore, it serves as an affront to the very concept of being a person, regardless of one's gender.

Lock this thread, leave us to Andrew Booth29, and let's all move on peacefully.

placidorca16 said:Don't mention it, friend!🙂 I honestly don't get why certain officials here—people holding all the power and tools—are so terrified of a few regular users hanging out. We don't have any clout or tools to hurt anyone, so what's the fear? I really don't understand this anxiety toward public support for exposing such a disgraceful mess—something that went completely unnoticed on Philosophy, which you shared with me quite openly, and I thanked you for.😲 Since I truly think that kind of integrity is admirable coming from a "real" man—which is a rare sight on this forum—maybe it just bothers people when someone shows up with a spine, a sense of humor, and an actual imagination? It's not a crime, though I suppose emancipated women might find it refreshing.🕺🙂

mistybison said:Oh, there is absolutely no need to step down from moderation! It is enough to give hiddenpuma75 a small cut, and that pub atmosphere will vanish all on its own. 😍 😁

She has already earned it by cluttering every single thread with her blog posts that have nothing to do with the topics at hand, along with various claims—like her saying women are easy to understand if you just strip a man of his ability to reason. 😁

The subforum needs at least a month to recover and regain some seriousness. 😉

😈 😁

Paul Kern12 said:👍

Everyone is equal before the law; the same rules apply to everyone. I am not a woman, but if I were, I think I would find being positively discriminated against quite offensive—because to me, it would feel like proof that I wasn't considered equally capable, and therefore needed a little push.

Andrew Booth29 said:I think I’ll take the advice of my esteemed colleague Letec—it’s probably for the best—and I’m asking the forum administration to please remove me from the moderation team for both forums I currently oversee. Thanks...

Jamie Davis9 said:Honestly, there’s nothing groundbreaking or even remotely novel being said here. Dostoevsky was already dissecting this exact same thing ages ago, leaning on those fundamental Nietzschean concepts regarding the superman destined for upheaval, whereas the average person exists merely to ensure the continuation of the species.

And just like that, case closed.
