The fact that this conversation is being forced into a new thread through the senseless closing of the previous one is clearly not going to silence me—heaven forbid—because the core issue remains unresolved, and it will stay that way as long as it continues to be ignored. Just because you can’t delete my user account doesn't mean the matter is settled, despite what Mr. Nex seems to believe... Mr. Nex, might I ask if your actual profession is a locksmith? Because the purpose of moderation isn't to lock down a thread just so it "doesn't turn into a kokošinjac," but rather to manage the discussion and penalize those who attempt to turn it into one. I assume you aren't some kindergarten teacher deciding whether or not I've said enough in my posts. Nor am I your punching bag for frustrations, your plaything, or some little chick from the kokošinjac... It appears that you, much like a handful of your close moderator colleagues, have forgotten the fundamental reality that I am not here for your benefit, but rather
you are here for mine; I am the client, you are the service provider, and your job is to ensure client satisfaction, is it not? 🙂
And at this moment, I am quite dissatisfied, given that by swiftly shuttering the previous thread and ignoring my explicit request to reopen it, you have effectively coerced me into starting this new topic—which, let’s be honest, was entirely unnecessary. But since we are here, let us begin anew;
The conduct of the moderation team on the Women's Corner is, to put it mildly, unacceptable. Despite being a long-standing member of this community, I have never encountered such behavior, nor do I intend to tolerate it moving forward. A few days ago, I initiated a potentially compelling discussion on the Women's Corner regarding the very existence of gender-segregated sections, with the intent of sparking a broader, more serious debate about gender dynamics and primary discrimination. From my opening post, it is perfectly evident that;
- I did not insult anyone
- I did not violate any forum rules
- and any intelligent participant would likely understand that it was never my intention to dismantle the forum's social order, even if that order itself is highly debatable as it stands.Following the launch of the topic, I experienced technical issues with your server (as I noted in one of my posts), which prevented me from immediately engaging in the "debate" that, aside from a few infantile provocations, had barely even begun. In the meantime, without a single word of explanation from the moderators, my topic was moved to "kokošinjac" with the clear intent of reducing it to mindless babbling—presumably because certain amateurish moderators failed to grasp the point of the topic, which, I must reiterate, was NOT to abolish gendered spaces. (And even if it were, I fail to see why that would be an issue, other than perhaps bruising the egos of those who rely on the moderator's stick to maintain control).
Naturally, after that, the "party" began, where a frenzied mob—bolstered by enthusiastic moderator approval—attacked and insulted me using every means at their disposal, while completely trolling the thread.
After I, having no real hope of defending myself against such a hysterical crowd and receiving no response from the moderation to my public inquiry as to why the thread was relegated to the kokošinjac, finally returned an insult to one (1) forum member,
I AM the one receiving a warning??!! issued by that very same moderation team, which did everything in its power to allow everyone to "caste" me with their vast arsenal of vitriol, a situation that continued well beyond my further participation.
In short: I simply opened a discussion that, with the blessing of the moderators, devolved into exactly what it became—uncultured, primitive, and outright rude behavior.
It is made all the more egregious by the fact that one of the moderators, redmarlin3, took the liberty of publicly disclosing my
personal information by stating my age in a post. First of all, my age is private data, and without my express permission, the moderation of this forum has no right to disclose anything regarding my real life—including my age, which is entirely irrelevant to this forum or this specific topic, whether I am twenty-one or fifty-one; that is my business. However, perhaps you require a reminder of your own rules:
On this platform, you define your own level of anonymity. The site administration guarantees that all data you choose not to disclose will be kept strictly confidential. The sole exception would be a legal mandate, such as a police warrant or a court order, which compels us to provide a user's IP address during an active investigation.
It’s a shame, really. This used to be a high-quality forum... But since you seem incapable of addressing my previous request, I am certain you can manage to fulfill the following requirements instead;
- that the Women's Corner moderation team offers me a public apology for undermining my threads and inciting other users to engage in trolling, mockery, and insults.
- that I receive a specific apology from that chicken-brained redmarlin3, who was largely responsible for the "unhinged chaos" currently unfolding here.
- that my thread over on Kokosinjac be purged of all this mindless clucking and moved to the Psychology section, where I intend to develop it into a coherent discussion. There. I trust my demands aren't excessive, considering the mistakes you've made and your utterly biased, unprofessional conduct, for which there was clearly no legitimate reason. Of course, it is your prerogative to ignore my concerns or continue moving and locking my threads, but please bear in mind that I have archived everything... and if necessary, I will be forced to take this directly to the owner of the parent network, or more precisely, the Editor-in-Chief.
I am hoping for a constructive resolution, and therefore, Mr. Nex, if you find yourself struck by that uncontrollable urge to lock a thread again, I suggest you exercise some restraint and leave the matter to a higher authority...
