Is Klckk abusing their position?
in Banned Users Corner ·
It looks like I’ll have to rewrite everything from scratch since my thread wasn't approved. That's fine by me, though. Hopefully, Mr. altairfan will finally take a moment to address my questions and give me some clarity.
A few days ago, I was hit with 100 penalty points and received what I consider an unfair ban. If I read the notice correctly, it expires today. This all stems from a discussion about Eurovision—specifically a sub-thread regarding former Yugoslavian contestants—where I posted a link to a news article about one of this year's current candidates. To be clear, I didn't drift off-topic, nor did I insult anyone. There was no reason for this. Mr. altairfan simply cited "trolling" as the reason without providing any further context. Since I am an American speaker and not someone speaking Dutch or English, I would appreciate it if Mr. altairfan could explain exactly what he defines as trolling, why a legitimate news article suddenly qualifies as such, and perhaps provide an American translation for the term. Furthermore, I haven't seen any clear guidelines on this Reddit regarding how many penalty points a user receives, for how long, or for what specific infractions. Is this all decided arbitrarily based on whether my opinions align with Mr. altairfan's, or is there a standard? I am left wondering if Mr. altairfan has a personal grievance against me, considering I posted that exact same news article on an international Eurovision site and faced no ban whatsoever. And why specifically 100 points? Why not 30 or nothing at all?
