When it comes to the discourse surrounding Russia and Ukraine, the pro-Russian crowd enjoys a level of protection that’s practically untouchable—they're hunkered down and shielded like grizzly bears in the deep woods of the Rockies.
If I get 45 points just for labeling someone a Russian mercenary, then consider this my first official entry into that ridiculous scoring system.
Man, even after sending that link over to Chuck, I haven't heard a single damn thing back. Nothing. Not even a peep. I am looking at the arguments being thrown around here, and quite frankly, I find the level of delusion staggering. You all seem to be operating under the impression that reality bends to your collective whims, but newsflash: it doesn't. When we look at the geopolitical landscape—specifically what is happening with Russia and Ukraine—it becomes painfully obvious that those who claim to understand the "grand strategy" are nothing more than armchair generals shouting into the void. You can sit there and dissect every move made by Moscow or analyze the tactical shifts in Ukraine until you're blue in the face, but none of it changes the fundamental truth of the situation. And then we have certain individuals in this thread, like Zachary Torres81, who seem convinced that their narrow, biased perspective constitutes an objective truth. It’s laughable. You aren't "seeing through the veil"; you're just staring at a reflection of your own prejudices. To suggest that the current trajectory of global conflict follows your specific, convoluted roadmap isn't just optimistic—it's intellectually dishonest. The reality is much more chaotic and far less convenient than the neat little narratives you're trying to construct. We aren't living in a scripted drama where the heroes always win because they're "right." We live in a world governed by power, resource scarcity, and raw interest. If you can't grasp that, you might as well stop participating in the discussion altogether. Stop pretending you have a handle on things when you're barely grasping the basics. Once again. I honestly can’t wrap my head around how some people still fall for this nonsense. You see these arguments popping up everywhere, and it’s the same tired, illogical loop over and over again. It’s almost impressive how much energy is wasted defending positions that collapse under the slightest bit of scrutiny. Take what Zachary Torres81 was trying to imply—it’s just fundamentally flawed. You can’t take one isolated data point and pretend it represents the entire landscape. It’s intellectually dishonest, plain and simple. And then you have people like John Scott63 who seem to think that by simply repeating a fallacy louder, they’re somehow winning the debate. They aren't. They’re just making noise. The reality is far more complex than the black-and-white worldview being pushed here. We aren't dealing with a simple "us versus them" scenario, even if that’s how certain loudmouths want to frame it to stir up emotion. If you actually look at the underlying mechanics of the situation—the actual structural issues at play—you realize that most of these superficial grievances are just distractions from the real problem. It’s exhausting to watch. It’s like watching someone try to fix a leaking dam with scotch tape while insisting everything is perfectly fine. You can ignore the cracks all you want, but eventually, the pressure is going to become too much, and then everyone will act shocked when things finally give way. We need to stop chasing these red herrings and start addressing the core issues if we ever want to see any real progress. So, Chuck is actually out here claiming he shouldn't even be allowed to take a shower because he’s supposedly needed for "constant supervision." Give me a break. It’s been seven full days since the report was filed, and while I’ve already been slapped with a ban, he hasn't faced a single consequence. Absolute joke.
Here is a second example. Clonka. I have been following this thread closely, and I find myself increasingly frustrated by the sheer level of delusion being peddled here. It’s one thing to have an opinion, but it’s quite another to present complete fabrications as if they were established facts. You can practically smell the desperation for attention in some of these posts. Look at what Zachary Torres81 is suggesting. To claim that the current geopolitical shifts are merely a coordinated charade is, frankly, insulting to anyone with a basic grasp of international relations. It isn't a conspiracy theory when the data points directly to systemic instability; it's just reality. You cannot simply wave your hands and dismiss the mounting tension between major powers as some sort of theatrical performance designed to distract us. It’s a tired argument, and honestly, it’s beneath the dignity of this forum. Then we have the comments from John Scott63, who seems to believe that everything boils down to a single, shadowy entity pulling every string. While I appreciate a good mystery, your "all roads lead to one puppet master" logic is incredibly reductive. History isn't a scripted movie; it's a chaotic, grinding machine driven by competing interests, economic pressures, and human error. To suggest otherwise is to ignore the complexity of how power actually functions in the United States and globally. We need to stop retreating into these comfortable, simplistic bubbles. If we want to have a meaningful conversation about where we are headed, we have to engage with the messiness of the actual situation. Stop looking for villains in the shadows and start looking at the institutions and policies right in front of our faces. It's uncomfortable, yes, but it's the only way to move forward without being perpetually blindsided by the obvious. Thirty-five points.
Look, I’m pointing out that the video I linked is supposedly from last year, even though the timestamp on it clearly says August 11, 2015. I'll provide an explanation for that. We’ve received word from several different sources that this footage is actually old news. Look, the upload date on a YouTube video is completely meaningless; I could take a clip from twenty years ago, upload it to YouTube right now, and the timestamp would claim it was posted today. It's a total illusion. To all the folks hanging out on the forums: please, for heaven's sake, start vetting your sources more carefully.
We just received word—and I’ve got the inside scoop on this one—straight from that moderator over at the alternative board, the one who’s constantly meddling in these threads behind the scenes for her own private little reasons. 😉 The forum rules state we need to be incredibly careful about our sources, or we're looking at a 35-point deduction. Honestly, I’ve yet to see anyone besides myself actually get slapped with a warning for this kind of thing.
Now I’m sitting here wondering if Andrew X—who ended up posting the exact same video I did—is actually going to walk away with those 35 points.
On the subject of letting trolls run wild—not to mention the absolute free pass being given to Hand-Slave, who seems to be allowed to say whatever he wants, whether he backs it up with a link or not.
Of course, the guy isn't some grand dissident like Hand-Slave keeps claiming he is.
Bias is everywhere if you know where to look. Honestly, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been flagged or reprimanded for failing to translate content or for not including a brief summary, yet somehow, everyone else seems to get a free pass to do whatever they want. It’s a double standard, plain and simple. Just look at the recent activity on the feed—there is an endless stream of posts floating around without a single description or translation in sight, and yet nobody says a word.
There is no description provided.
There’s absolutely nothing here.
Like I’ve already stated on this forum, anyone pushing pro-Russian agendas or acting anti-Ukraine is essentially untouchable here, thanks to the blatant bias shown by moderators Powerlock Chuck and Clonka.
Michelle Evans said:I wrote this last night, surrounded by hundreds of similar posts. I see you're replying—If they have to report them... Yes, they absolutely do. Report it and wait 24 hours. Otherwise, given what was mentioned above, your participation with entries like these can be summarized quite simply as:The trollforce is strong with this one.
This isn't the first time this user has done this; it’s easily the hundredth time he’s resorted to insults, just like the rest of his crowd.
Fine, fine, "they have to report it," but after experiencing nothing but repetitive, futile reporting only to be ignored by the site administrators, I don't bother reporting insults, pro-Russian fanatics, hunters, or any other filth they post anymore. Let them stay up as a shameful reminder of the anti-Ukraine policy this administration has been peddling here for ages.
Do you honestly think the user being targeted hasn't noticed the insult? He likely knows perfectly well that reporting the Borg is a waste of breath. You’re just going to let him get away with doing it all over again anyway.
And thanks for the "trollforce" comment 👏 —it just confirms my point.
Once you file enough complaints, you realize the resistance is futile. On these specific threads, nothing has changed and nothing ever will, whether you complain or not.
Whether you report it or not, it doesn't matter—the moderators have completely checked out of this thread.
If posts like this actually required reporting, then take a look at this:
We’re talking about a degenerate who has been banned dozens of times already, yet here he is, with Ringo calling another user a slur. We all know the administration and the mod team are biased anyway.
There's no point even wasting breath on the spammers. The trolls, the ultra-nationalists, the fascists, and all that other filth have basically moved in, and they're being tolerated without a second thought.
We are the Borg (meaning the pro-Russian trolls)—resistance is futile on this forum.
Has anyone actually bothered to mention the king of nonsense, Konev? At least northerntiger manages to put out something remotely readable. Konev, on the other hand, just dumps these Google Translate messes translated straight from Russian that nobody can even begin to decipher. Here is one of the more harmless examples:
But I suppose we all just tolerate it here because Konev is a "professional," right?
There’s just no point in even trying. Whether you report it or not, it doesn't matter—both the Junta and those NATO dogs continue to operate here without any sanctions whatsoever. It’s painfully obvious that one particular moderator has deep family ties to Russia and has clearly manipulated the entire administration into adopting a pro-Russian bias.
The Ukrainian people and their legitimate government are being insulted, trampled upon, and humiliated on this forum without any restraint. The legally elected Government and the Prime Minister are branded as the Junta, called idiots, and subjected to all sorts of vile epithets. Even war crimes are brushed off as "no big deal," and all discussions regarding this are suppressed within this disgraceful thread. Just try accidentally referring to the separatists as terrorists; you'll see how quickly they turn on you.
Anyone who dares to show even a shred of resistance against this pro-Russian mob—led by that absolute hater andrejemx—gets torn apart and verbally abused, much like a pack of rabid dogs lunging at its prey. They’ve carved out their own little corner, driven away anyone with a backbone, and now they think they own the place.
I can only hope that, eventually, this whole shameful situation is exposed for what it truly is.
Charles Fox10 said:And what exactly is your motive for showing up here to report a post ten minutes before you even made this comment itself???? By the way, you haven't even reported this specific post yet (not that I'm kidding while typing this).
I've reported them in droves, but nothing changes; Ringo10 keeps using the word Junta for months on end. Reported posts result in absolutely zero action, while the exact same group of people churn out the same repetitive garbage day after day, month after month—and now you want to lecture me about reporting.
American bureaucracy equals forum administration.
For instance, I reported a post in the Ukraine thread where the new American president was referred to as a NATO blacksmith several days ago, yet it’s still sitting there right now:
Quote:
That won't be any conversation after just one month of training. Here, boys, now you know everything and can go fight terrorists... (to quote the NATO blacksmith)
The very next day, the American shows up in a suit clutching contracts for private security firms. Travel, salaries of two or three thousand dollars, top-tier equipment... Body bags and then a quiet return to some small town where nobody will ever know what happened to you...
From a purely strategic standpoint, an assault on Debaltsye makes perfect sense.
The rebels have to dismantle that racket at any cost. Clearing it out will minimize casualties in Donetsk, allowing them to maintain their momentum as they push northward.
The Kyiv Junta has effectively dragged all its current reserves from the northern sectors right to the front lines.7
It’s the same group of people, over and over again, stubbornly clinging to the phrase "Kyiv Junta." It doesn't matter how many reports are filed; they just keep typing it. If I were to use the wrong term when referring to the separatists, I’d be crucified instantly. How many examples does it take? How many official complaints?
Just a snippet from the latest manifesto put out by those same old recidivists. The previous post was wiped, but let me tell you, there was some seriously heavy stuff in there.
kontrasvijeta As Charles Fox10 points out: Look, this fadedmason3 guy thinks he’s some kind of genius... but honestly, he really struggles when it comes to grasping the actual cause-and-effect relationships in these situations.
It’s a fundamental misunderstanding of cause and effect that people keep pushing. It wasn't the fall of Washington, D.C., that triggered Hitler; it was Hitler that led to the total leveling of Germany by the "Allies." It wasn't some small town being overtaken by an Axis-aligned state; it was the establishment of that regime that led to the destruction of the small town. It wasn't Al-Qaeda acting against the USA—it was the actions of the USA that paved the way for Al-Qaeda. You have to look at the sequence of events, not just the aftermath.
Well, look, let's just be honest about it: New Russia simply didn't happen. Period. It’s nothing but the Junta, plain and simple. Just the Junta. New Russia!
☕
Ringo10 As stated by: That’s all well and good for now, but mark my words: once spring rolls around, we're going to see absolute, widespread chaos.
On the bright side, at least we can find some small comfort in the fact that... The Kyiv Junta. They could try to mobilize two million people if they really wanted to, but let’s be honest: it wouldn't matter one bit. It’s painfully obvious that there’s no real benefit to having those numbers on paper when the people themselves simply refuse to pick up a weapon and fight.
Are they even remotely aware of how much of a colossal failure this war actually is? It feels like they’re fighting purely for someone else's agenda—primarily Pro-US interests, though honestly, it's hard to say if there's something even more calculated at play here.
TheQuill As Charles Fox10 said:While Poroshenko was busy strolling through Paris yesterday, the shelling of Donetsk kicked off all over again. 😢
Zakharchenko stated regarding that specific issue that negotiations with... I can't believe we're still dealing with this nonsense. It’s honestly exhausting watching the same old patterns repeat themselves while everyone pretends they don't see what's right in front of them. We need to stop sugarcoating the reality of the situation and start calling things exactly what they are. They simply don't make any sense whatsoever. During a recent discussion with his Latvian counterpart, Lavrov issued a stark warning, claiming they have intelligence suggesting that Kyiv is actively plotting to violate the Minsk agreements. Word on the street is they’re planning to transition from these sporadic, localized shelling sessions into a full-scale offensive, allegedly kicking off around the 15th.
PS If this turns out to be true, we’re looking at the activation of a chaos engine that absolutely nobody will be able to shut down. It’s over. You can kiss any semblance of peace in Europe goodbye.
PPS There’s nothing quite like a classic New Year’s Eve cake in Kyiv to set the tone for the season.
Cannibalism. It’s one of those topics that most people would rather pretend doesn't exist, preferring to dwell in the comfort of polite society, but if we are going to have an honest conversation about the darker impulses of human nature, we cannot simply look away. There is something profoundly unsettling about the idea of consuming one's own kind, yet history and sociology suggest that when the veneer of civilization cracks—when resources vanish and survival becomes the only metric of success—the unthinkable becomes a grim reality. It isn't just a horror movie trope; it is a terrifying testament to what happens when the social contract is completely shredded.
Ringo10 As I see it: I am talking about the West and their relentless, war-mongering hysteria.
Of course they aren't going to launch Iskanders at Ukraine. Even so, there’s this persistent effort to manufacture a sense of dread around them, trying to cultivate a specific kind of fear in the public consciousness.
They’re going to attempt to overthrow them. JuntaAnd if things don't go according to plan, we’re looking at nothing less than the total dissolution of that nation.
Ringo10 As Charles Fox10 said:Propaganda. It’s the oldest trick in the book, isn't it? We see it everywhere, swirling around us like a thick fog, designed specifically to cloud our judgment and steer the narrative toward whatever agenda is currently being pushed by those in power. They don't just want you to believe their version of reality; they want to make sure you can't even conceive of an alternative. It’s a relentless, calculated assault on the truth, wrapped up in polished media packages and shouted from every digital corner. They manufacture consent, feed us half-truths, and then act shocked when people start questioning the script. It’s exhausting, frankly, watching the same tired tactics play out over and over again under different guises. Those Kyiv Juntas. She might be a complete idiot, but there’s no denying that Gaga is incredibly loud when she starts spouting those anti-US talking points. It’s not even about the Ukrainians anymore; it’s really just about this blatant, pathetic disregard for the rights of gays and lesbians.
I honestly don't understand how anyone can look at the current global landscape and fail to see the cracks forming in the foundation. We are witnessing a massive shift, a total realignment of power that most people are either too distracted or too terrified to acknowledge. The old guard thinks they can just maintain the status quo indefinitely, but the reality on the ground tells a completely different story. It’s not just about politics anymore; it’s about the very structure of how influence is exerted on the world stage. Everything we were taught to believe about stability is being dismantled right before our eyes. As stated by: What an absolute disgrace DJON is!!!
Junta You have never once shown an ounce of respect; it’s nothing but constant attacks from your side. As for you being so preoccupied with peddling propaganda that isn't even worth the paper it's printed on—well, that's your business, but don't think for a second it doesn't reflect poorly on your own character!
Ringo10 said:I honestly thought we’d have to wait until spring for the big rollout, but clearly, nobody has the patience to sit around and wait anymore.
It looks like the rebels have finally caught wind that the Junta is gearing up for a massive offensive, and they've decided to strike first to get ahead of the curve.
There is a very real possibility that this uprising is going to spill over and spread into other parts of the Southeast.
Russia has to be dealt with once and for all. Those Kyiv Juntas.And that's something that can only be achieved through brute force.
Everything else is nothing more than a grand illusion.
Ringo10 said:That’s just the brutal reality of war. Things like this happen when the world is at its worst.
So, I was just scrolling through some maps online, and I noticed that the distance between Volnovakha and Telmanove is roughly 45 kilometers.
The rebel front lines have pushed forward to within 10 kilometers of Telmanov, yet we’re still looking at a remaining gap of 35 kilometers.
Oh, please, go ahead and lecture me on how they would actually achieve that kind of range.
Even if we were operating in a purely theoretical capacity where such an action was actually possible, at that kind of distance, you wouldn't be looking at a precision strike—you'd just be praying for a lucky shot.
Something smells fishy here. It’s the same old story, isn't it? Just like whenever things start heading in this direction... Junta propaganda, plain and simple.
kontrasvijeta said:It serves the interests of the Ukrainians just as much as it does Americans and their satellites to keep stirring the pot with Russia. By doing this, they secure endless streams of loans, military hardware, and equipment, all while branding Russia as the aggressor to the masses and feeding the populace a steady diet of nationalism. It’s a total win-win scenario for the Junta.
The New Russians absolutely crushed them during that initial chaos, even when Moscow's assistance was practically non-existent. Now that Moscow has properly sorted things out—and I believe they’ve equipped them sufficiently for defense—I don't see New Russia kneeling. However, Putin has maintained from the start that the people of New Russia must fight for their own cause and force the Junta to sit down at the negotiating table; the Russians are there as a secondary factor. If we were to actually compare the level of support provided by the US and Europe to the Junta against what Russia provides to New Russia, we would be looking at a massive disparity in raw numbers. The Junta has sucked every last cent out of US and European funds, whereas the Russians are playing a much more calculated game.
This is just one recent example, and honestly, there are countless more—both reported and unflagged. The Junta has managed to crawl back into the mainstream once again, driven by the same old repeat offenders. This is happening despite the explicit agreement that we would stop labeling the legitimate Ukrainian Government as a "Junta" or using Nazi rhetoric. Furthermore, the calls for violence have been festering on this forum for months without any real intervention.
Seriously, how many reports does it take before these same vulgar users finally get banned?
So this is how people handle discussions regarding the victims of the Holodomor on this thread. The moderation team just sits there letting this kind of hate speech slide—it’s a constant pattern here. All I did was mention that today marks the anniversary. This level of aggression and blatant insult is a recurring issue, and unfortunately, the administration chooses to tolerate it. But since we are talking about Ukrainians, apparently nobody cares that the victims of this horrific atrocity are being insulted like this.
For those who aren't aware and might think I'm making things up, here is what the Holodomor actually was: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor According to various studies and available historical evidence, between 3 and 7 million people died within the territory of Ukraine alone. Some experts suggest the total death toll could be as high as 10 million, which places the Holodomor among the greatest crimes of the 20th century.
But here, users from Little Rock managed to turn even that into a troll session. If today is the anniversary, then I guess the Soviets starved 10 million people to death in a single day. Kudos to them; even Americans couldn't pull off something like that. Americans only manage to starve 3 million Africans to death per day.
There isn't a shred of respect left. If this were any other genocide, this post would have been nuked and the hate speech sanctioned immediately. But when it comes to Ukrainians, you're allowed to insult them without mercy, treating them like animals on this forum. I truly hope someone at the Ukrainian Embassy sees this and files a formal complaint.
William Bennett53 said:I’ll be touching base with the Politics moderators shortly. Please bear with me for a moment.
Thanks.
I suspect this is actually about Powerlock, who told me earlier today that I was being a nuisance.
Reporting posts doesn't seem to achieve anything at all.
Frankly, it feels like I'm one of the last Mohicans left here who actually has the stomach to write on these topics without being pro-Russia. Everyone else has been effectively driven out by organized raids from pro-Russian trolls, all facilitated by biased moderation. You can see the evidence in the massive drop in engagement on these threads; it's just not fun anymore when you're only allowed to stroke the egos of people who already agree with you—even though Ukraine continues to dominate the news cycle every single day.
Mocking Ukrainian politicians with derogatory nicknames is a constant fixture here, too. Calling Poroshenko "Poroshenkonko" or "Kermit," or labeling the Ukrainian government a military junta or a fascist junta—those kinds of insults are practically treated as acceptable common knowledge on this board. Yet, the moment I used a slur against Putin, I received an immediate warning from the moderators that I was about to be banned by Cuka.
It appears that even here, the first link—the one that was previously removed—has somehow broken for reasons unknown to me 🙄 so I’m reposting it. And just to be clear, no, the Moscow Times didn't take it down.
Regarding that thread about Ukraine where people just dump links, I actually put up this post yesterday http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/a...ne/511584.html Russia's Igor Strelkov: I Am Responsible for War in Eastern Ukraine Strelkov—I am responsible for the war in Ukraine
The post has already been deleted. And honestly, this isn't the first time my posts have been scrubbed without any legitimate reason, especially since they don't violate a single rule. It seems like only the pro-Russian stuff is allowed to stay.
On top of that, over in the Ukraine thread, QUill called me an idiot. Not only was my post wiped, but yesterday he’s back at it again, insulting me and calling me foolish, which is just unbelievable. Here is more evidence; if you have any shred of decency or common sense left, maybe you'll stop this warfare.
I reported the post, but it’s still sitting there, likely going unmoderated just like those absolute idiots from a few days ago. I would like to ask the moderation team to clarify: is any opposition to the pro-Putin enthusiasts forbidden in the Ukraine and Russia threads? This biased moderation—allowing trolling, mockery, insults, and pro-Russian propaganda while purging anyone who dares to present the opposing view—has driven away everyone who tries to speak up. Konev posts massive walls of Google Translate nonsense in Russian that never get deleted, yet the opposition gets censored. The constant labeling of dissenters as "mercenaries" is tolerated as well.
Lugal constantly drops one-liners like this most recent one that have absolutely nothing to do with the topic, yet they aren't even flagged, let alone banned.
The moderation on those specific threads became a disaster a long time ago. Every attempt to file a complaint ends with the thread being promptly shut down, and then everything goes right back to business as usual. At this point, I can only assume that the editorial policy of this entire site is completely pro-Russian and pro-Putin.
I’ll drop a link here along with a translation of a statement made by a famous Russian author
And lo and behold, a troll pops up immediately to write this:
In case anyone is wondering, you can check out the awards Ulitsky has received right here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyudmila_Ulitskaya
So, tell me—is any kind of actual discussion even possible with people like that? It’s always the same crowd, whether we're talking about Russia or Ukraine. You've got the usual suspects, like the science fiction literature enthusiasts and Konev, just hovering around like a pack of wolves, doing whatever they feel like.
It was the exact same story when the Dalai Lama spoke out. The moderators wiped her statement clean, and then the administration had the nerve to claim that the Dalai Lama's comments on Putin were "off-topic"—even though the entire thread was specifically about Russia! To top it off, that thread on the Democratic Party forum was rushed through being locked and deleted without anyone ever explaining why a comment about Putin wasn't relevant to a discussion on Russia.
Regarding the topic of Russia, I put together a post covering the Dalai Lama’s recent comments on Putin. To provide full context, I included two links—one to an international news outlet and one to a major US news site. I also provided a brief summary of the foreign coverage along with an excerpt from the American article regarding his statement.
The reaction from certain aggressive users on this forum to what was a completely neutral, informative post was nothing short of absurd:
A single-line jab calling the Dalai Lama "Ridiculous."
Then there were those claiming the Dalai Lama is actually just a CIA asset.
Naturally, those posts were deleted.
Meanwhile, everyone else seemed intent on mocking him, questioning why he doesn't just step down since the article pointed out that while Putin has been in power for fifteen years, the Dalai Lama is a lifelong leader. Essentially, they are trying to draw a comparison between a spiritual figurehead and a secular political ruler.
Frankly, I don't understand why my own post was removed. It didn't violate a single forum rule; it simply contained links and a concise summary of the facts.
There isn’t actually a written rule on this forum that covers this kind of behavior. But honestly, there’s no need to put those things in writing when, fortunately, most people seem to have picked up basic decency through their upbringing and education. That tiny minority who missed out on those life lessons stands out quite sharply from everyone else—making them easy to spot, and perhaps giving us a chance to teach them how to behave so they might eventually have a shot at becoming decent human beings. >
Basically, it’s not technically "banned," but you still get slapped with a warning for trolling, along with a lecture on your lack of manners and a glimmer of hope that if I stop replying to quoted text that isn't even mine, I might actually stand a chance at being a polite person.
Thanks for the masterclass in politeness regarding the Ukraine thread.
So, essentially, moderator Powerlock called me out for trolling just because I decided to jump into his conversation with another user. If this is actually against the rules, where exactly is that policy documented? Isn't there a private messaging system specifically designed for private discussions? 🤷 Thanks
You’re actually kind of trolling right now, if you think about it. My post, which you’re responding to, was directed specifically at Kojiri; it was tailored to him and follows the long-standing tradition of back-and-forth debates we’ve had on this board for years. He knows exactly what I was asking. You don't, so if you want to be decent, stop inserting yourself into our dialogue like this. Just watch—if you're interested—and learn from it. That goes for you even more, considering you're still relatively new to this community. Look, just let us veterans have our discussion in peace; if you're curious about what we're talking about, follow along, and if you aren't, then don't—but please, don't feel this desperate need to butt in.
Paul Kern12 said:I have a question for the forum administration: is there any way at all to prevent the creation of clone accounts? I mean, the current situation is just not normal. On the thread regarding Ukraine, new clones seem to pop up every single day—some even openly admit they are clones
What kind of message does this send to all the honest forum members who actually follow the rules? When I was banned, I served my sentence, learned my lesson, and made sure to be a bit more careful about the forum guidelines the second time around.
I would suggest that those who constantly break the rules by signing up over and over again—despite being under a ban—should simply have their IP addresses blocked (or whatever the technical term is).
A situation like this just doesn't make sense.
A new copy-paste troll shows up on the pro-Russian side and everyone greets them with a "welcome" 🤣
One welcome.
A second welcome.
That Mexican 😉 who can't even get his grammar right.
