Here——look at rule 9. Actually, now that I'm looking closer, using clones isn't even allowed at all, is it?

Plus, I don't see anything saying moderators can just ignore the forum rules. Care to enlighten me?

Fine, you see rule-breaking where I see logic.

I distinguish between

a user account used as an 'administrative tool'
(where multiple authorized staff members log into one single account)

and

a personal user account
(one person using the account for discussion, moderation, or admin tasks),

which is a completely different matter.

Amy Rogers6 said:Where exactly does it say that, and since when? Look, smart guy, I don't care about what makes sense to you personally. I want to see the actual rules or some legal basis explaining why this doesn't apply to the forum owner. And yeah, I want an explanation on whether they’re actually required to notify users via the written rules upon joining the forum... Is that clear enough for you?

It’s on the
FIRST page,
SEVENTH post,
right in YOUR thread:

bluelynx52 said:Of course bluelynx52 is a clone. I can't tell you who's pulling the strings, and honestly, it doesn't matter. More than one person has been using him so far, and that’s how it’ll stay.

Why couldn't some random stranger be a moderator—and a good one at that? You probably realize there's a massive conflict of interest when a regular user jumps into a mod role. Everyone already knows his biases and how skewed his views are. He’s just as predictable in discussions as he is in moderating. A mod like that shouldn't be allowed to both participate and moderate. That's why it's actually great if the new mod is truly a newcomer. Someone without baggage. Or at least, someone you don't know yet. 🙂 And if you eventually figure them out, bluelynx52 will probably have moved on to being someone else by then.

Judging by how fast you jumped to conclusions based on just one neutral post, you're either incredibly perceptive or you just walk into every Reddit thread expecting the worst. I wouldn't call you perceptive, though. You should've known your off-topic post was going to get nuked. That isn't tyranny. It's just the rules.

You've got no reason to assume I won't be an awesome moderator who might actually surprise you. While you're busy holding onto your prejudices, I'll just be focusing on what you actually write moving forward. 🙂

Amy Rogers6 said:No, the topic wasn't finished on page one—it was wrapped up in this specific post on page three or four—

The crux of the issue is that you're showing up as a clone on a thread where you already posted under your original handle, which flies in the face of the rules you personally wrote... and that's a technical issue for which Casey Bennett offered an answer—but since I didn't hear that answer from you, I'll repeat the questions:

Is it true that as the owner, you can just do whatever you want, breaking every single rule you established that we all joined this forum to follow?

Do you consider this a scam against the people who signed up for this forum—especially since nobody was given any notice about the rules changing?

Do you think this is even legally valid?

The core of your posts is simple: you just refuse to accept it. Loud and clear. The answers are there. Or maybe you just don't understand them—but honestly, that’s becoming your problem alone.

Regarding that nickname. Don't use it. Exclusively.It’s always the same person.It’s been explained.
Whether anyone actually buys that explanation or not is irrelevant. It's all the same thing.
Personally, I find that explanation acceptable. Logical. Rational. As for what constitutes an "operative" on any given forum...

So, anyone can just "show up" under a pseudonym. (WATCH OUT!)
In the case of that exact username, An administrative tool. (i.e., in the form of) korisničkog imena @bluelynx52)
...Sure. It’s been approved. Access to that. (Again, Watch out.)In the case of that specific username, An administrative tool..

Jessica Kelly4 said:Somied got banned?!? A perfect example of a decent, logical poster. But you guys really lost the plot here.

Invoking vaccine mandates in PMTs is a whole different level of pathology. Especially now, when all the skeletons are starting to crawl out of the closet. You're psychopaths and accomplices to a crime against humanity.

That kind of call to action is just a crude paraphrase of "Get moving, damn you!"

- "(what are you whining about?) 'my arm hurts... my leg hurts... this, that...' - get moving, damn you!"
- "(what are you whining about?) 'I'm scared of infection... they won't let me into Germany... this, that... - get vaccinated, damn you!"

Actual 'pathology' would be using that profanity in a sentence that doesn't align with the original (i.e., the widely known) saying

- "Why are you deleting on-topic posts, damn you?"

Calm down and get out (watch your step)...
@bluelynx52 isn't the forum owner, Zeljko ☕

(just kidding)

Amy Rogers6 said:I had no idea the mods were already using those tools—cloning mods and everything. Now that I’m looking at it, my eyes are actually burning...

Regarding this idea that an anonymous moderator can actually be good because their anonymity supposedly eliminates bias—first off, let me stop you right there. An anonymous mod isn't a "good" mod. They don't bring stability, clear rules, or any sense of accountability to the table; instead, they just breed suspicion and distrust. If you think I’m wrong, go ahead and ask anyone outside your little moderator circle what they actually think. That'll give you the real picture. As for this whole "objective" thing? That cloak of anonymity disappears the second the first warnings and bans start flying.

Being a good moderator isn't about hiding behind anonymity; it’s about having the guts to step back from your own biases and try to steer the conversation without being heavy-handed. That takes actual work, which is why decent mods are hard to find—you can see that on Reddit, too. They might be rare, but they have distinct personalities and viewpoints, which lets the users actually build a rapport with them. Honestly, understanding those basic traits is crucial. What you're doing right now is a terrible move—trying to implement some "matrix" system that's never going to work. It just looks like you're chasing total control over the sub because you don't trust your own people.

Honestly, out of everyone here, you’re the one who should be most dialed in on the basic rules of moderation. You were basically one of the pioneers of this whole Reddit culture back in the day, so it’s pretty weird that you seem so clueless about it now—it’s like you’ve completely lost your compass. At this rate, it'll just be a case of "even a broken clock is right twice a day." But hey, whatever, have it your way.

Regarding my intuition—honestly, it all turned out to be pretty shallow. I was actually expecting you to surprise me. Instead, I post my critique about this whole moderator clone situation, only to have it deleted with some "off-topic" excuse. That just gave me the perfect opening to head over to the PZK Reddit and start this thread, which is perfectly on-topic for this sub—exactly what I was aiming for. In the end, you’re left with a chance to hear the criticism, but if you delete it, you're basically scoring an own goal while the moderator clone issue just keeps festering.

Honestly, if you actually wanted to surprise me, you'd have to react differently than how this whole mess is playing out...

And what about that last sentence—what are we even supposed to make of it? How should we take it? It reads like a veiled threat, though let’s be real, it’s barely even veiled; it’s just poorly disguised under this fake layer of objectivity. That’s an absolute self-inflicted wound right there. It shows that when you run out of actual things to say, you just resort to pulling rank. That’s definitely not the mark of smart behavior on a Reddit thread, nor is it how real politics works—you see that kind of nonsense all the time in our daily political scene here in the States....

But hey, if you think you look cool doing it, then I guess it was worth it—regardless of the damage caused...☕

... - what can I even say? How am I supposed to take this?
It’s like a veiled threat, though let's be honest—it isn't even veiled. It’s just poorly disguised under a thin cloak of fake objectivity. That's an own goal if I ever saw one. It shows that when you run out of actual arguments, you resort to brute force from a position of power. That isn't exactly the hallmark of smart behavior on a Reddit thread, nor is it particularly savvy in the world of American politics. You see it all the time in our daily political landscape.[/I]

Yeah, how am I supposed to interpret that sentence?

"While you sit there nursing your prejudices, I’ll just focus on what you actually write. Moving forward.."

If not like...Self-inflicted wound.', tj.
'Like a veiled threat.' That blackmailing scoundrel actually had the audacity to use the word...From now on.'), 'Which isn't even being hidden.'

🤦

Look, those words didn't exactly "get the point across." (and as he threatened) They’re going to be watching you. So watch your step.

He already told you this:

And you're already judging me before I even start. In advance. You claim I’m incapable of being a good moderator. Fine. I'll just label you as a regular user instead. Just what you're going to write. Moving forward.Fine. From here on out, I’ll treat you exactly how you write. Not based on your track record here on Reddit. - I don't care about that.Whatever it may be.

Jeremy Morgan2 said:I'm lost. I'll have to scour the web to figure out how to handle this via a batch script.

If someone could just whip up an example in Google Docs and drop it here, I’d appreciate it.

For Google Docs. Or for anything else. It’s similar... but not quite the same. You need to specify the exact location of the .exe file.

What on earth...Batch file.File to close Google Docs. Just asking.?!
Click that red button.xTop right corner. That's it. Unless you have some reason to keep it running... you know... like a normal person. (Joke.)

Shutdown script:

Open a New text Document.
Right-click on the desktop, then select the option...NewClick on...New text Document')

- u njega kopipejstaj ovo dolje:
Force shutdown immediately. No delays. No excuses. Just done.

Save (click at the top on '...The file.Then you just click 'Save'.

Close the document, then make the change. Extension. 'New text Document.txt' u
'New text Document.I don't know what you're trying to get at here. Be specific.Which means "in" rather than "shutdown."I don't know what you're trying to get at here. Be specific.It’s mostly up to you. Just make sure the extension is correct.

Double-click that icon now.Batch file.Once the file is processed, the computer should shut down immediately. No "Mercy! Mercy!" nonsense or other unnecessary delays.

Batch (.bat) file?

Save it in a "safe" folder (maybe My Documents) and just create a shortcut to that file on your desktop—then double-click the shortcut. That should cover it.

In my opinion, it’s better and easier than messing around with some random program or app... or at least just as simple.

Alright, that's all I have to say about that—no need to reply.

👍

Depends on why you need this—if we're talking about some kind of "psychosis" (don't take me literally, obviously), then what follows probably won't cut it:

while you're still active in an app (like Google Docs)'
' - hit simultaneously on the keyboard keys "(left) Alt" and "F4"
a pop-up should appear asking to exit the program. Click OK;

- once the program closes, hit those same two keys again
this time a pop-up should appear to confirm the shutdown. Click OK there;

P.S.
that key combo can also be used just for a shutdown—straight from a "blank" desktop

electricnomad8 said:Even with "remember me" turned off during login, my username still pops up in the field when I click on it. I don't want that. There might be a setting buried somewhere to disable this, but I missed it. My English isn't great, so it's possible I overlooked something. Is there a way to stop this?

Give me a step-by-step breakdown. Something like: A > B > username > yes/no. I’m no hacker...

The "Remember Me" feature on Reddit—the one that keeps you from being automatically logged out—is actually useful.

Here’s how I hacked my Chrome. (See image)...

If you're also using Chrome. So you're claiming you don't understand English. Which basically means your browser is set to English.
Click the link at the top of the page.Tools. File, Edit, History, Bookmarks, Tools.Help.It seems like you've left things unfinished. What's on your mind?
'Options.And on the page that opens up, then again on...Privacy & Security' General, Home, Search, Privacy & SecuritySync.... and hit Search.Logins and Passwords Options:



If you don't want autofill enabled in the username field, just uncheck the box next to 'Logins and Passwords'.Autofill Logins and Passwords.'.

That would be it... if that’s even the case. (empty username field) Everything you actually want to achieve...

And even with that compromised version of Chrome, you're still going to be screwed. (And the same goes for the right side) Clicking the 'username pop-up' still prompts a click on the username itself. I've got about 7 or 8 of them on my end. With which ones?(a) You can log in using just that pop-up window. That's it.

If that’s actually what you’re trying to avoid, then just wipe all the usernames. (including the relevant passwords)...or just the one you'd rather not have seeing them. (is)Does anyone else share access to their computer?

Click on '...' on the page shown in the image.Saved Logins.' (to the right of the 'Autofill Logins and Passwords...' option)Once that page loads, just wipe out any entries you aren't comfortable sharing with everyone else.
(On the page shown in the image. Ditch that first checkbox too. Do it so the browser stops nagging you to save your credentials every single time you try to log in.

ruggedscout76 said:... I won't get into how they responded to that comment. It’s perfectly consistent with Jeremy Johnson18's usual style. ...

If the opening post follows the exact pattern set by your fellow regular @cosmicstag52,
then my colleague the moderator @Jeremy Johnson18 is maintaining a very consistent, fitting style. ☕

Just enough so nobody thinks I'm out of the loop
(or to borrow from the old leader: "I'm just watching you all...!")

Samuel Turner2 said:Another thread closed...

What a joke.☕
They love shutting down threads as much as anyone else (not my own threads, mind you, just the ones I actually enjoy reading).

Except in my case, we aren't talking about some random discussion floating around a coronavirus pdf; these topics are posted right here—in the heart of the Reddit headquarters...

Anyway, you aren't the only one dealing with this.

The worst part is when I take the time to write an actually constructive post for the good of the community, hit 'submit'... only to be met with "Sorry verimuch, but that thread doesn't exist!"

P.S.
(👍 alright, this time everything is exactly how it should be and ALWAYS should be)

Frank Foster6 said:... personally, I have to say bravo bluecyclist64, that's how you do it...
I'm out here digging through archives with a shovel looking for sources to back up my claims, while he's just leaning back in an armchair with a cup of coffee...

It’s the same story everywhere—it all comes down to the claim.

With some of these claims, you couldn't dig up a single valid argument, piece of evidence, or source even if you used an excavator... honestly, what can you do? 🤷

John Palmer9 said:...it (should) be vital to know if someone is a troll or not. In the online world of forums, weeding out trolls is clearly the most important thing for survival.

And you're covered in feathers just because of cheating at slot machines, right? ☕
Not because of trolling, obviously...

John Palmer9 said:...dealing with trolls requires... ...tarring and feathering them first...

So much for "cheerful," huh? Damn...

I had no idea my colleague @bluecyclist64 was a communist.

The comrade has spent years on Off working hard like a loyal little worker bee—a modest ant who consistently hit his quotas, occasionally becoming a true overachiever by dropping up to 200 posts a day.
In his prime, he was deeply committed to a social order that left no room for sugar-coated rhetoric or walking on eggshells.

As the long-standing general secretary of the OliberationFrontForum, I am calling upon the reactionary forces serving the forum's aristocratic bourgeoisie to return this old communist, proud proletarian, and esteemed comrade @bluecyclist64, to lifelong ownership of his Off membership card, along with his personal manifesto, 'My Self', a booklet subtitled 'Dictionary of Slang and Vulgarisms'.

Better war than a pussycat!

Joseph Allen71 said:Wrong.

I know you feel guilty about it, so I’ll forgive you for ignoring me for three days straight.🙂

The operation wasn't exactly a home run. 🙈

😠 And I'm certainly not buying this narrative about some massive, interconnected hacker syndicate.

Lock Temu up and toss the key into the Mississippi River.

While you all waste time messing around, I’ve engineered a rather clever little operation to lure Hogan out of his cave. The plan is as follows:

1.) - I need one of Hogan's posts;
2.) - I'll quote that post, but instead of using '@coppersailor28', I'll log in via one of my burner accounts;

Pay attention now:
3.) - In my reply to Hogan, I'll pose as @coppersailor28's (meaning my own) enemy;

I've already picked a post, even if it is a bit dated (05/13/2021) - finding anything from Hogan after 07/27/2021 is basically a suicide mission:
there are maybe five posts total (if that), and they all read like they were written by a dying soldier in a trench... Completely useless.

1.) - Selected post:
Guys' Corner, topic 'The worst thing you can see at a woman's...??' page 153, post #3046

Attila the Hun said:For me, it was when the city water lines were rerouted through our street; since that day, there's been no scent or taste left in that pussy. 🙂

2.) - At this stage, I quote the above post;

3.) - Logging in as '@x' for example (I won't name the handle here—not unless I want Hogan to hunt me down if he happens to be reading this) I'll respond like this:

"My dear colleague and friend, I haven't had any scent or taste from that pussy for a long time either. 🙂
But who knows, maybe some people enjoy sniffing and licking it—that loser @coppersailor28 for instance, hahahaha... mwahahaha... wheeze wheeze... khhhhaaaa hahahaha... hrrk... ...ouch!

Best, Stephen"

Then we'll immediately see which side of the fence Hogan is on.

If he replies
"Yes, yes, you're right, hahahaha... mwahahaha... wheeze wheeze... khhhhaaaa hahahaha... hrrk... ...ouch!"

...then he's clearly under the influence of unclean demons.

But if he replies
"Flee from here, you evil creature, before I report your post!"

...then there's still hope for him.

(I'll wait until approximately 7:00 PM to pull the trigger)
