So, a few months back over on the N/A boards, that user asked me for my partial because I supposedly "insulted" some of the regulars. From what I can see now, while people are relentlessly attacking me in the thread about the N/A, that particular moderator guy clearly couldn't care less about any of it.
It’s an interesting little setup: once you have a partial, you lose all ability to file a report.
If you want to avoid unnecessary headaches down the road, I’d suggest looking out for the moderator while there's still time.
I haven't really noticed any targeted attacks on our veterans that weren't already dealt with by the moderators, and honestly, there's no point in shutting this thread down. Given that the Democratic Party could be back in power any day now, people are likely going to start getting vocal again soon enough.
Linda Young38, your fundamental issue is the assumption that you’re the sole arbiter of truth while everyone else is simply mistaken. Take a moment to reflect on the sheer volume of misinformation you've previously posted here—those baseless claims regarding massacres of women and children back in 1945—before you attempt to lecture anyone else on what constitutes justice or reality.
Larry Moore83 said:Personally, they haven't brought me any money so far. Every time I drop cash on a movie ticket, that money is just... gone. It feels more like a non-refundable donation to the theater industry, I suppose...😕
Just remember, man, just remember... 🙂
I could have been making some real money from those movie tickets back in the day, too...
If only my old man Atif had told me he was hitting it big with the same stuff—but the poor soul never really got into the specifics... 🕺
God, I feel like nothing has changed in the last fifty years... And not a single soul (not one damn person) bothered to tell me 🤔
In that movie, they’re just laughing at some crude joke about anatomy. It’s funny, really. We sit here scrolling through forums, obsessing over Big Brother-style reality shows, or watching superhero movies that pop up like weeds after a rainstorm. Then there are those mindless series featuring fantasy politicians—as if we don't have enough actual idiots running things in Washington already. It goes on and on... Hahaha! Seriously!
Though, I suppose that Black president in the film might seem like a real statesman to someone living in a tiny rural town out in the middle of nowhere... ☕
Joseph Allen71 said:From where I’m sitting, one of the most legitimate reasons the Homeland War even started was because houses and cars—Mexican ones, obviously—were being blown to pieces on a daily basis, hundreds at a time. A report has been filed properly; the moderator @Pizvo doesn't see anything unusual about it, and @mentioning Nice probably won't have the time to look today, given it's a busy Wednesday. No, I am not going to drop the link to the post again; if anyone in administration actually cares, they can find it easily enough. It was a hard delete—though the post itself wasn't removed (as far as I recall, you can't perform a full deletion on Reddit).
To reiterate, I have zero interest in reading the dishonest garbage claiming we provoked ourselves, or that we incited the war through crimes that left those poor Mexicans with "no choice" but to react. I would much rather not read that filth at all, and I'd prefer to imagine moderators who actually care more about our little America than a Greater Mexico*.
*@Daniel Ward87, don't take this personally, this isn't directed at you.
You could have explained the situation a bit better for us mere mortals; I haven't got a clue what's happening here. Was the post deleted or not? What exactly is a "hard delete"? Did he get a strike or not?... Personally, I also find those arguments infuriating, so I'm genuinely curious if there are any unpunished posts like that currently active on Reddit.
Susan Price30 said:I don't know why you're asking if you already know the answer will be that a ban isn't typically granted "upon request."😉
You could always just change your email address to some fake, useless one and then simply never activate the account (since you wouldn't be able to verify it if the email doesn't exist).
You won't turn grey or look like you've been banned, but you won't be able to post on the forum either.
That is one way to go about a self-ban...
(And for what it's worth, maybe 20-30%, if not more, of newly registered users here don't even have an activated account).
So, why are you deleting things? The guy is just looking for a partial reprimand, not a permanent ban.
I wouldn't call myself a massive fan, but I wish my colleagues a peaceful rest in their wooden pajamas, and the same goes for this wild character... Cheers, mustache... 🙂
William Gonzalez3 said:I suppose it exists, if you define chauvinism as the belief that your own group is somehow inherently superior to everyone else.
So, you're saying that using regional slang from one part of America to represent all Americans—and the whole country—is actually meant to be a mockery?
Well, I think the poll creator definitely intended it that way—they included that option specifically to poke fun at us.
But hey, feel free to play the victim if you want to. 👍
On the other hand, those big-shot Americans only earned that nickname because they always looked down their noses at us little guys, so I honestly don't see any issue with how the survey was conducted.
To be perfectly honest, I originally started this discussion for people who actually intended to engage with substance—real men, if you will—rather than providing a playground for internet trolls and bottom-feeders looking for cheap attention.
Since this conversation has clearly veered far away from its intended purpose, it seems only fair that you shut it down, given that maintaining any semblance of order here was apparently beyond anyone's capabilities.
I would personally set the record straight regarding the mistakes made in '45 and '90. I’d likely require a significantly larger military and police force, though that wouldn't be an issue—confiscating assets would solve our funding problems overnight. Mandatory military service (for all genders), mandatory civil service (again, for everyone), aggressive incentives for domestic self-sufficiency, and a total overhaul of the education system—we need far fewer economists and lawyers and far more practical skills. I’d also reopen prisons where criminals actually have to work instead of sitting around doing nothing and ordering catered meals from the outside. I would turn the entire nation into a premium brand. American goods should be viewed with the same prestige as Swiss chocolate or a Rolls-Royce. Our produce would be ten times more expensive than anything grown in a commercial greenhouse, and we would sell every single thing we manufacture.
Withdrawing from NATO and the European Union, and pivoting toward cooperation with the Chinese, the Russians, Arabs, or whoever else serves our interests—everything would be done for OUR benefit, not someone else's.
As for the drug-fueled tourism on our islands: entry would be restricted to foreign passport holders only, and they would be required to pay a mandatory deposit for cremation services and the scattering of ashes at sea. Once those foreigners start paying, let them do as they please and indulge in whatever substances our hardworking citizens can manufacture.
Regarding the era of privatization and corporate takeover, the solution is straightforward: I would immediately revert everything to social ownership. If the former owners feel wronged, they can sue the state. Anyone who can actually prove their ownership was legitimate would get their assets back.
The Church would be stripped of absolutely everything. However, if they wish to continue using sacred buildings or artifacts, they can rent them from the public. They should pay rent; after all, they didn't build the cathedrals themselves. Taxes would be mandatory. As for those charlatans reading tarot cards and such—send them to Alcatraz, where they can try reading fortunes in the rocks.
My friend, that is merely the beginning... There is so much work to be done, and so little time...

As for your other claims—specifically regarding what you call "unfounded" moderator decisions—I'll need to see actual evidence. The bans were explained to the users involved, just like the partial locks and the thread closures. Everything was done by the book. Anything else?
Fine, here's one more thing. Is there any room left on MK for a casual lounge or a place to just joke around?
P.S. We could have had this conversation much earlier, back when I was actually filing appeals for my bans. How is it that you managed to overcome your sudden aversion to me just to reply to this post?
Oh, and one more thing: that authoritative tone really suits you—anything else?
Try to remember when I mentioned you were heading toward the dark side; if I recall correctly, it wasn't long after you tasted a little bit of power and control.
I’m posting this as one of the veteran MK lifers, just so we’re clear—I’m not some tourist passing through who doesn't understand the landscape here.
So, what the hell is going on? MK used to be a sanctuary for decent, irreverent banter, but now it’s all bans, suspensions, and power trips...
If someone could walk me through this, I’d appreciate it.
It looks like Didi is pretty worked up. Didi, what’s the actual issue here?
quark got suspended. Why?
I also noticed there were bans handed out for allegedly doxxing or leaking personal info. Look, if that's the case, I’m all for strict penalties. However, quark himself has openly shared his identity more times than I can count. Sure, you shouldn't be broadcasting your full legal name on a forum, but that's a far cry from outing another user who explicitly wants to stay anonymous. If he's being punished, fine, but this feels excessive. For instance, I know exactly who Headbanger is, and frankly, I can't stand him any more than he can stand me, but it never crosses my mind to call him by his real name on this board. That’s my take on forum anonymity—ask Eli Quinn how much I value privacy if you need proof—but it feels like there’s more to this story than just that.
If I were still on MK, I would have asked, "WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!" but instead, I’ll just politely ask for an explanation. Is MK losing its backbone because Hanžeković bought it out from Anderlon, or is Jupiter just playing games?
Jesus was essentially a reactionary anti-communist—or at least, that's how a communist would frame it when asking, "Render unto God what is God's, and unto Caesar what is Caesar's?"
As for those driver's licenses, I heard a rumor that they’ve started printing actual photos on them now, not just those astrological signs...
