Look, it’s been explained to you already—and if you look at your own history here (mind you, I have absolutely no clue what you were up to before this), it’s pretty obvious that your posts just don't follow the rules of conduct. But instead of fixing that, you keep using your faith as an excuse, claiming the moderators are out to get believers. Don't you see the paradox there? It’s not about whether you believe in God or not; it’s strictly about the way you write. You’re being flagged for your tone and style, yet you keep insisting it’s religious persecution, which simply isn't the case. It seems like you're really missing the point here...

Don't you feel even a little bit embarrassed constantly playing the part of some pious, forgiving saint?
Suppose I’m not a believer at all—if I decided to give people a second chance, what would my justification be? Is it only believers who get to hand out second chances and offer forgiveness?
And what if I *am* a believer, but I choose not to grant that second chance? Does that just make me a "lesser" believer than you?

Honestly, your posts are about as effective as a cop trying to settle a dispute by hitting someone with a wet newspaper. From what I can see in just these few posts, you've basically boxed yourself into a corner.

It’s almost like we’re living in North Korea, where one word against the Great Leader or his ideas is enough to land you in a camp. Did someone freeze you all back in the fifties and just thaw you out? Are you still struggling to wrap your heads around democracy and free speech? Seriously, someone touched a nerve with a sacred truth—let's drag them to the gallows. 😲😠
I can't believe what I'm reading. 😕

I honestly don't understand why that term is even being used. Us versus them.That alone says quite a lot about someone's mindset or how they approach things, I would say. (And that's without even considering those emojis.)

And now that this is being dragged out... The distinction between "we" and "you." Is there really a difference? It’s just like some of those other subforums, honestly... anyway, I'm heading out to lunch.😁

It’s probably because they just don't share your specific views or perspectives. Because of that, they refuse to be lumped into your "us" group.

Did someone freeze you all back in the fifties and just now thaw you out, leaving you unable to navigate democracy and freedom of speech? It's always "Oh, someone touched my sacred ground, let's drag them to the gallows!" 😲 😠

I wasn't even planning on weighing in, but I am just stunned by this level of primitivism—it feels like textbook brainwashing... though, frankly, this is exactly how I would have put it!

No, honestly—that law is... basically identical to the old one! It’s just that instead of specifically mentioning the media, they’ve added more detail and tossed the word "internet" in there. Aside from that, the core of the law remains pretty much unchanged. Plus, any lawsuit would have to be handled through private legal action alone.

If all of Reddit had only three posts, would the server still be "screwed" (overloaded or whatever)? If yes, fine. If not... then the images visible right there are also strictly on this forum and "nowhere else," just like the text of the posts themselves is strictly on this forum and "nowhere else." 🤷

I don't need a technical breakdown. A simple "you're wrong" is plenty—there's Google if I actually cared about the details.

Alright, let me try to break this down a bit more clearly for you! You're looking at the finished product—everything all neatly composed, a little blue here, a little black there, a clean white background, specific fonts, all that good stuff. But—and this is the key part—the actual essence of everything, the users, their posts, etc... it all lives in a database. This entire post is recorded in that database. Now, if a post includes an image, the database only stores the file path to that image. That path is maybe something like 30 characters long. Meanwhile, the actual image itself—the raw code for that picture—is stored on a separate image hosting server, and that path acts as the map leading straight to it. What the code for this forum does is recognize the (image) and when the page or the post loads, it basically "plugs" that image into the spot. So, to your eyes, it looks like it's sitting right there, but if you were to click an image in a post and go to "view image location," you'd see the link actually points to some external image hosting server...

Hopefully, that clears things up a little better! 🙂

Michelle Alvarez8 makes a solid point. Honestly, the actual size of an image doesn't really impact how the server performs. It’s more about the browser itself—you know, when someone loads a massive thread full of high-res photos for the very first time? If they're browsing on a smartphone, things might get a little sluggish. Maybe we could consider approving specific threads where images are the main attraction and allow larger dimensions there, while keeping everything else on the rest of the site at a standard 640x480.

My only real question is why brisknomad6 feels entitled to throw around such harsh labels like that. I honestly wonder why this forum allows such an aggressive tone toward other members. Why wasn't her post removed? It seems like certain activities get attacked by moderators just because they don't align with their personal philosophies, while everything else is being promoted—almost aggressively and quite shamelessly—simply because it happens to suit the moderators' own views.

I would really appreciate some answers on this as soon as possible.

Thanks

It really matters, though, because you're essentially accusing someone of libel. And look, if you're going to go after someone for libel, it's absolutely vital to determine whether the accusation is actually true or not.

So, look—I’m going to clear the air with Venus here, mostly because I totally misread what he was getting at. I thought he was just talking about the atmosphere of the cheering, when I completely missed that little detail about him actually being the one to "lead" the crowd...
My bad!

Charles Torres12 said:But you were the first one to bring up the packed stadium! And besides, you're bringing up teams like Roma and the rest, complaining about how things weren't even like that during the game against Istres? Do you honestly expect people to cheer with that kind of raw passion if the vibe isn't there?

It wasn't me, but I've already gone ahead and explained myself since I totally misinterpreted his post.

cosmiclynx7 said:Looking back over the last six years—and man, have I spent some serious time in those stands—I feel like we've hit quite a few bumps when it comes to leading the crowd during those massive games. It’s not just about the chanting, either; it’s the whole logistical dance, from pulling off the choreo to keeping everything running smoothly on the terrace...
☕

From what I can tell, every single visual display we've put up has been a total hit! Now, leading the chant? Yeah, that’s a much tougher nut to crack—definitely harder—but honestly, they've done a stellar job at it. And let me tell you, the fans' reaction to the displays has been absolutely electric.
Then you look at the CIA crowd—they show up, sure, they're part of the atmosphere, but they don't really get loud unless someone finds the back of the net. You can't exactly "wake them up" if they aren't feeling it, though I don't blame anyone for that! It’s just easier for them to give $13 for the North Stand than it is to bring that same energy to the East or West sections.

Charles Torres12 said:Just grab all the newspapers and they'll tell you all about that "incredible atmosphere," right? Look, our energy—our whole vibe as fans—really depends on how the actual game is playing out, ESPECIALLY during those massive matchups... plus, let's be real, it’s always a little bit easier to get loud when you're playing against a team like United or Los Angeles Lakers where things might go south with a 7-goal blowout, right??? AMEN

Why on earth would I care about what the papers say when I'm actually there in the stands? We're talking about a packed house here—those big-time games in Europe or when we face the Lakers. So what? Does that mean only United or the Lakers count? Sure, then I guess AC Milan, Chelsea FC, even the Romans count too, right? You're basically tripping over your own feet here by trying to single out only the games with full stadiums...

Charles Torres12 said:You’re trying to take shots at me, but honestly? You’re just making yourself look bad... as if we haven't dealt with issues before?! Haha! If anyone knows about struggle, it’s us. Seriously, please, just stay out of the fan forums. The crew working hard around the stadium is putting in massive effort—you have no idea. Results will show themselves soon enough.

Look, I’m not even talking about what happened last night—I’m looking at the big picture over the last few years. If you really think I’ve embarrassed myself, fine, that’s your call. But personally? I don't see it that way at all. There is nothing quite like that electric atmosphere when Arrowhead Stadium is absolutely packed.

Brandon Anderson34 said:Honestly, you guys are being incredibly dense—it’s almost painful to watch... after an outing where the photos alone prove our fan scene is leagues ahead of anyone else, and considering the absolute mess the Kansas City Chiefs are in right now, you're all just sitting here talking nonsense 🤷 It’s common sense, really—trying to lead a chant when the bleachers are packed is pure science fiction because there are way too many casuals just standing around doing nothing.

That has to be the single most misguided take I’ve ever seen on this entire forum—by a long shot. The Raiders have never dealt with issues like that; if anything, the more crowded the North Stand was, the more the atmosphere felt like "one soul, one body"... It really speaks volumes about your "expertise" if you think you can actually lecture anyone about the Raiders.

@ Carl Stewart5, I’m really not sure how long you’ve been hanging around this group, so I don't know quite how much weight to put on your words. But hey, if everyone is actually on the same page here, then that’s fantastic!

Pokusa is trying his best to lead us, but honestly, the crowd just didn't show up today. I get it—it’s not easy keeping an entire stadium hyped up for a full ninety minutes. But there is one thing I simply cannot forgive him for. In front of a packed house like this? If he hadn't pulled out that Aida chant, it would have been a total disaster! An absolute crime! He really needs to branch out a bit more—we're seriously lacking some of those classic anthems. Still, you have to hand it to him, he’s definitely putting in the work!
And one last thing! "Hold it, hold it, hold it!" That’s the new chant they're testing out in the North Stand 😁 hehehe

...the administrator might just be...
Wait, am I actually the administrator here? Because if we're talking about who pulled the trigger on that ban—that was all me! Thanks for noticing...

All bark and no bite, I guess.
Look, I’ve already told you—I have absolutely zero tolerance for your behavior because you’ve crossed the line way too many times without learning a single thing. On the flip side, I’m not going to hand out a permanent ban just because someone drops one off-topic comment. Usually, I’ll just shoot them a private message as a heads-up to stay on track, rather than jumping straight to a penalty. The whole point of being a moderator isn't to hunt people down and punish every tiny slip-up with the hammer.
And just to reiterate—if I were some vengeful, biased jerk looking for an excuse, I would have banned you permanently back when you made that one specific post of yours. But since I’m clearly not acting out of spite, all those conspiracy theories you're spinning about me just don't hold water.
By the way, I notice that users almost always lose their minds when they get penalized themselves, yet they’re more than happy to call for everyone else to be punished—it’s the classic case of double standards.

Anyway, this is my final word on the matter here, because I feel like I’ve said everything three times over now. Any further debate between us is just a waste of breath when I have to repeat the exact same point three times, only for you to still refuse—or perhaps just fail—to see reason.

What exactly was my colleague "corrected" on? Even if she’s offering a different perspective than everyone else, I don't see anyone picking fights with the agencies mentioned later in the post;
Where is this jealousy coming from, man? Seriously—do you go around calling people idiots and losers everywhere else too? You claim you communicate the same way everywhere, so why don't you show me some of those "respectful" posts of yours on those world-famous subreddits?
Honestly, your post didn't mean a thing to me, but per the site rules, you still got a light penalty because saying stuff like: "YOU FASCIST PIECE OF TRASH, YOU PATHETIC LOSER... [EXPLICIT]... RETARD..." definitely doesn't belong here. So, frankly, I don't care about your apology one bit.
Nobody has ever received a warning just because I felt like it; it's strictly my opinion on whether a post violates the community guidelines and rules. If someone files a report, sure, I take that into account, but issuing a strike is entirely my call. And to make matters even better—the CIA didn't even report you back then... and claiming I have a "favorite" is just absurd.

Anyway, I've got nothing left to say. I'll let the Admins sleep on it and decide for themselves.

I’m not going to dwell too much on your post—I'll just leave that for the authorities to handle.
You're clearly salty because I don't have any patience for constant trolling and provocation. You were hit with a three-day ban, and instead of taking the hint, you just created a new account to come at me with this:
Reddit thread , which I assume you can't see, but I’m sure you remember exactly what you wrote under the username Thomas Hernandez11.
Even though you were posting from a different account, you made it crystal clear who you were talking about—which was obvious even looking at the IP address. Now, I didn't ban your main account—just so we're clear, I'm not trying to wipe you off the face of the earth—because I actually thought you might learn your lesson. People complain about your posts way too often, and frankly, they have every right to.
But after that last post of yours—with all that trolling, the insults, and the blatant off-topic nonsense—I have absolutely ZERO tolerance left. It’s one thing when someone goes off-topic once, but it's a whole different story when someone spends three posts in a row trolling, especially after dropping an F-bomb (on anyone, for that matter)....

So, since you're going to complain about how I moderate, I might as well bring the whole situation out into the light.

By the way, take a long look at your argument with Joe Biden. If nothing else, that person was being incredibly rude to you during the debate, and your only response was to call them a moron...

Let me clear this up for you:
The reason you were flagged was because of this comment:
"People can't be cured of two things—death and stupidity.
Congratulations!" To me, that sounded like you were diagnosing someone with a terminal case of being an idiot (calling them stupid, essentially)...
Look, if someone is getting on your nerves, just report them. You’ve got two moderators handling things, and I really hope you realize just how many posts get flooded into the system in a single day. Imagine coming back from a ten-day vacation only to find a mountain of content—it's impossible to meticulously read every single thing people say.
Secondly, commenting on a moderator's actions isn't allowed here. If I’m posting in my capacity as a moderator (using those red letters), you should send me a PM to discuss it, rather than spamming the thread itself...

edit:
p.s. Just to add a thought—Delta Air Lines and general tourism are such straightforward topics, and I honestly don't see why people feel the need to pick fights over them, yet somehow they always manage to. There are rules in place, and I make sure to stick to them. I’ll even allow a debate to wander off-topic, provided it doesn't turn into personal insults.
