coastallynx13 said:It seems more appropriate to say, "I kindly ask that you write..." so long as you are acting as a representative of the staff here on Reddit. To maintain a clear distinction between regular users and those in positions of authority, I believe a certain level of decorum is quite necessary. I sincerely hope you take this critique to heart, if only as an opportunity to refine your own cultural, moral, and professional standards. Much appreciated!

The point here isn't about handing out diagnoses to random people on this forum—I'm trying to illustrate just how absurd it is to advocate for what would essentially be official oversight of forum members' mental health, and the sheer chaos that ensues when you allow public diagnosing.
Every single one of us is perfectly free to sit at home and diagnose ourselves privately, or engage in those informal, off-forum sessions where we basically have "Gossip about Forum Members, Vol. 15." We are also free to report anything we deem necessary to "the proper authorities" whenever we feel like it. Honestly, I don't understand why anyone would expect or demand that the forum administration take on that specific responsibility.
However, any attempt to lower the bar below a strict ban and sanctioning of all forum-based diagnostics would be pointless, harmful, and dangerous for this community—regardless of how certain a self-proclaimed diagnostician might feel that "everything is obvious." This entire tedious thread exists because of this simple fact, and changing it would pose a greater threat to the forum than any individual user ever could.
BTW, what are we going to do about the CUT in adminNice's post, where she clearly writes "gone crazy" without any provocation whatsoever? 🤣
mellowraven22 said:Keith Lee2, the partial status is real—you already heard it from two admins, and now you're getting it from a third.
shadoworca3 said:As long as this specific mod team is running things at the FBI, with this admin crew and the current owner—you aren't getting those partials pulled from the site.
Keith Lee2 said:You’re honestly forcing my hand to be blunt and tell you that I’m not
impressed with your reading comprehension, which was pretty obvious
during that back-and-forth with Nicole.🤷
Just as a quick reminder, I've posted a few times before filing a complaint about the card issues,
which moderator @el ninjo basically ignored, and I still haven't received a response from
any instance here:
Nicholas King said:I’d love to see an example of a troll post even worse than that YouTube link, or an insult more intense than calling someone paranoid—something that just got wiped without a ban. Especially since it happened in the "question for administration" thread, which was pretty specific. But I know I won't get anywhere there, so let me just ask again: if an observer jumping into an argument with you and posting a YouTube link to call bluecyclist64 a paranoid nutjob (which they doubled down on later) gets "deleted without penalty," does that mean everyone else can do the same? Just give me a straight "yes" or "no" without any sarcasm or ad hominema about having no life or being bored.
If not, how is anyone supposed to know when a post will just vanish without a trace versus when they'll actually catch a ban for trolling and insults?
Drew Gonzalez19 said:Anyone reading this should probably wonder why the discourse in the religion sub got so messy in the first place.
Like, why wasn't the insults and disrespect shut down immediately by both the atheists and the believers?
Why weren't the mods actually doing their jobs?

Jeffrey Garcia6, look, if I’m getting under your skin, that’s kind of on you. If someone bugs me, I just grab some chamomile tea and move on with my day.☕
Patrick Miller3 said:I actually corrected those awkward word constructions imported from the East right there in your quote.
That's why I don't want my kids on this forum—so they don't pick up those Serbianisms that frankly make my blood boil. 🙂
