But honestly, what's the point of all this? Harassing some pathetic old men with low IQ scores from Elon Musk isn't going to change anything—they aren't relevant to the bigger picture or the actual fight. You haven't even seen the truly hardcore predators or the ones producing material in these parts, let alone come face-to-face with them.

Pedophiles are just such a repulsive group of people. I realize it’s a disorder and that they can't help their attractions or control what triggers them. But seriously, if that's just who you are and you're dealing with that kind of sickness, then you need to keep it to yourself and live with it. You can't just turn it into reality and abuse children. It's simply not an option.
I honestly wish someone would step up and show some real backbone against the actual heavy hitters in the criminal underworld. And I’m not talking about those petty small-timers who snatch a few bucks from a corner store or get into a scrap over a little bit of weed. What I really want to know is why nobody seems to have the guts to call out the real sharks—the ones sitting in high-ranking positions, rigging government contracts and pocketing millions of dollars without even blinking. Unfortunately, these people are considered pillars of the community, and instead of facing pushback, people actually vote them into office. Meanwhile, the courts drag their cases out for years and years, and not a single one of them ever faces any real consequences.
The real question is, how do we actually fix this? 😳
Gregory Smith21, why on earth did you pick such an aggressive avatar? 😳

A person's home should be sacred, but banks... Well, I'd better stop there before I get banned from the forum.

We need to help people; if someone is being evicted along with their children, we should at least make sure they have temporary housing, food, and basic necessities.

Honestly, screw the banks. ☕

I simply cannot support a system where someone can take money that doesn't belong to them, refuse to ever pay it back, claim it's theirs, and then use force against the person who is legally trying to get their own money back.

People like that aren't any better than the thieves you all claim to be "fighting" against.

EDIT: If you feel so strongly about this, why don't you and your brother just hand over your own cash to these people so they don't end up homeless? Just set aside $150,000 to $200,000 for each family and then the problem is solved! 👍
🤦

What advice would you give to people who took out a mortgage from a bank to buy an apartment, but now they’ve stopped making payments? They seem to be under this delusion that because they live there, the place is rightfully theirs and they don't actually owe the bank a single cent... 😁
I've always been a bit out there 😳
Just one more chat 😳

I just can't do it! Every time I try, I end up getting these crazy neck spasms and my face just contorts into this ridiculous expression...😳

I honestly don't even have the heart to read through this whole thread because I feel like I'll just end up getting blinded by all the secondhand embarrassment from some of these people 😳

Jason Brown5 said:I won't speak on my own behalf, but I will mention one thing: what you fail to grasp is that every single moderator—every single one except me, which is fine by me—is infinitely more valuable to this site and to Maria Barnes than you could ever hope to be.
Not just compared to the users who produce quality content, mind you.

But compared to you—someone who probably runs an ad-blocker and therefore contributes nothing via clicks, while the content you generate consists of pathetic attempts to hit on every female profile in completely irrelevant threads—you provide no utility whatsoever.

And let's be clear: moderator decisions are not infallible. However, they aren't "wrong" simply because some user said so. You didn't understand a single thing in your first post, nor did you actually comment on anything related to that post. It doesn't matter how many times some whining victim complains; the only thing that matters is whether they have a legitimate grievance.

And that isn't your call to make.

What you're failing to realize is that when someone claims they are "pathetically hitting on every woman's profile," that's just a direct reaction to the moderation required for people like you, because having any kind of normal conversation became impossible.
I don't mind if Maria Barnes finds certain moderators more important than regular users, but if that happens, she'll just have to accept that she'll end up with maybe 50 to 100 active members left who basically moderate themselves.
However, since by opening these threads with the Police, you've at least shown a glimmer of intention to understand where the problem lies, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself wrong.

As a gesture of good faith, the admin really ought to give your profile a complete makeover. Just to show he's willing to embrace change...

Otherwise, if he keeps tolerating people like you, he might as well just lock all these threads right now and we can go back to the way things were, spiraling downward... 🙂

Jason Brown5 said:Thanks for confirming what I was getting at 👍
The one thing you still need to grasp is that you aren't the one calling the shots here. On most major platforms—unlike that toxic mess over at Reddit—you wouldn't even be permitted to say something like that in the first place. It’s essentially a non-starter.
The moderators have their own supervisors to answer to. If they’re incompetent, they get replaced. And just as importantly, we don't allow every single idiot to spit on them (God forbid I'm referring to you).

The bottom line is this: bad moderators aren't being let go, and that’s exactly why the owner is opening threads like this with the Prosecutor—because he knows that if he keeps up this policy, there won't be anything left to moderate!
People like you should be the very first ones cleared out. Complaining about moderators 🙏 Wow, filing a complaint against the mess you're making is treated like attacking a high-ranking official—a forum moderator 🙏 while claiming your own decisions are flawless.
Honestly, you are the literal embodiment of everything wrong with this community; just the fact that your profile exists is an issue. You're like a mascot for bad behavior...

So, boss, prove you're actually ready for some real change and get rid of these troll moderators, because they serve absolutely zero purpose for the growth of this community...

Jason Brown5 said:I can weigh in here—mostly because I’ve spent a fair amount of time lurking and posting on various forums myself. It’s common sense, really: smaller communities naturally dodge a lot of the headaches that plague the big ones. On most international forums, what stormylynx4 is saying holds true—though, if we're being honest, the underlying reasons are entirely different:

There simply isn't a subforum for this—not one that allows us to endlessly nitpick over every single individual card.

Short bans are incredibly rare around here—it’s more like an all-or-nothing policy. The rules are pretty straightforward: you're expected to have read them, and if you break them, a ban means a permanent ban. No mercy, no second chances. I actually experienced this firsthand on one of the very first international forums I ever joined; I got hit with a permanent ban for something that wouldn't even earn you 45 points on a strict subreddit. Surprisingly enough, offering a sincere apology through a burner account actually worked to get me back in, but the underlying principle remains clear—there's no room for error.

Look, it’s obvious enough that there are administrators pulling the strings behind the scenes, managing both the backend and the moderation teams. But honestly? It’s impossible to ignore when you see the exact same individual popping up—like, literally 150 times—acting bewildered and asking why they got banned. It's absurd. At that point, you have to wonder if the issue lies with the moderator themselves—in which case, maybe the mod should be the one getting removed—or, in the absolute worst-case scenario, the user is headed for the exit once they hit that "three strikes and you're out" rule. It's a cycle that just doesn't make sense.

My apologies to the fellow user—and colleague—whose complaint was singled out for being at the top of the pile. On most other forums, something like this would be absolutely impossible: I’ve been spending far too much time lately lurking on Reddit—mostly just observing the chaos—but I finally decided to weigh in on this particular thread regarding the recent legal developments. It’s quite a mess, honestly. The discussion seems to be spiraling around whether our current judicial system can actually hold anyone accountable, or if we're just watching a choreographed dance of bureaucracy. There’s a lot of talk about how the Prosecutor is handling these cases, and frankly, it feels like we're seeing a massive wave of self-censorship from the media outlets that should be shouting from the rooftops instead. One user, Maria Barnes, was making some rather pointed observations about the lack of transparency, which I find hard to argue against—though she does tend to get a bit carried away with her theories. Then you have someone like Gerald Chavez7, who seems convinced that everything is fine as long as the paperwork looks correct. It's a classic case of missing the forest for the trees. I find myself stuck between two extremes here: the people who think every minor error is a grand conspiracy, and those who believe the system is an infallible machine. Neither side is particularly convincing. The truth, as usual, is likely buried somewhere in the middle, obscured by political maneuvering and a general lack of public interest. It’s exhausting to follow, really—almost as exhausting as trying to keep up with the endless debates over sports or whatever else is trending today—but one can't help but watch the slow-motion train wreck unfold.

Either the ex-mod is going to step up and act like a legitimate member of this Reddit community within the next 24 hours—or, the actual moderator needs to start doing their job. I mean, seriously—either they fix the constant stream of insults and targeted attacks from that one specific user (who is usually the culprit anyway), or we’re stuck with this endless, toxic cycle where everyone is perpetually complaining. It’s bad enough as it is; there's no need to let that "everyone is miserable" atmosphere take root.

The sheer volume of complaints is irrelevant—which is exactly why they kicked them out of the room ages ago. It doesn't matter if you're looking at three filings a month, thirty, or thirty thousand. What actually matters is whether those claims hold water. At the end of the day, everyone sitting in a prison cell is technically innocent until proven otherwise.

Just a side note: you are a walking disaster of a cloned moderator, existing solely to hand out bans and warnings just to stifle any chance of an appeal. Complaining about a clone is pretty much pointless anyway.
It's like complaining to a bot. You're just shouting into the void.

Honestly, the mere existence of your profile—and sadly, you aren't the only one—is living proof of the terrible moderation on Reddit, which has completely lost its way...
I don't speak English very well, but I'll take screenshots of your posts and learn from them!

Well, it really just depends on what you're using it for! For whatever purpose you have in mind, I wouldn't recommend peeling it, unless you want it to break on you... 😳 🤣

So basically 🙂

Drew Ross2 said:When you're putting on shoes, do you grab the left one or the right one first?

I don't think there are any real rules—I just grab whichever one is closer to my hand! 😁

When you're out at a restaurant, do you wait for the entire meal to arrive, or do you dive straight into your salad the second it hits the table? 🤣

🙊

So, do you actually want to know the truth about this?... 🙂

I don't doubt it for a second! Honestly, I'm just glad they didn't go and spray-paint messages all over my house. Dealing with this is nothing compared to that... 🤣

🤣 That is just absolutely gross to me! I mean, I’ve had my toothbrush fall out of my bag before, and trust me, it doesn't have to feel like it literally fell into the toilet... 🤮
