Richard Sanders7, I really hope we don't end up getting a topic for Hannah regarding Google. That would honestly be just way too much to handle—I can't even imagine which emoji would even begin to cover that level of chaos🤔😁
You aren't spoiled, you're just being a brat. That’s exactly how my son used to act when he was seven—he'd just declare, "That's it, you're not my friend anymore," or "You're not my mom anymore." It’s a classic textbook example of childish behavior. Nothing to lose sleep over, really. From here on out, I won't be posting on this topic because... well, I simply have more class than the rest of you, and I wouldn't dream of discussing such vulgar nonsense even if my life depended on it. Something like that.
If we actually want to fix this mess, we have to start by facing the truth—and let me tell you, what we’re being fed right now isn't it. We aren't children.
There’s that one photo where I’m just crushing on a watermelon One where I’m grinning ear to ear One where I’m a total mess, crying my eyes out One where I’m laughing uncontrollably One from my high school graduation Wearing these ridiculous long gloves And smoking a cigarette Then there’s that eerie one with two dead boys Lying under the hoop in the schoolyard And another with two living boys Out on the patio at the local diner One from a wedding One right before I gave birth One where I’m nursing a little one With a scraped-up knee There’s the shot from the mountains The one by the ocean And that one where I didn't even realize someone was snapping a picture Honestly, I wish that one didn't exist But then there’s this one Where you and I are standing together Surrounded by some random people I don't even bother looking at them Because your face—your face is the first thing I see It’s radiant.
Look, I get what you're saying, but honestly? People are clearly hitting a breaking point here.
This could very well be the root of the issue—I'm actually quoting supermoderator Dorijan directly
- Since I stepped in as a supermod over at Politics (and likely even longer than that, though I can only speak for my actual tenure here), there hasn't been a single instance where a moderator was told to stay away from a thread in the Politics section. Basically, nobody is being discouraged from stepping in, let alone being forced to step back.
So, here’s the thing: in your attempt to avoid "discouraging" anyone, you're essentially allowing someone who lacks experience—or frankly, someone who isn't quite ready for the job—to moderate the most volatile, powder-keg topic on this entire forum. And then, predictably, people like Napornin end up getting banned. Well, newsflash: someone has to learn how to do this, and mistakes are part of the process.
It was meant to be ironic. Honestly, sometimes that’s just healthy—it's how a person vents their frustrations when they feel like they have absolutely no agency in the situation. If you all keep going down this path, people are going to start turning to satire to make their points, and I know that isn't something you want to deal with. This forum is filled with sharp, witty individuals, and let’s not forget that fighting for one's freedom is a fundamental right for everyone.☕
You're all overreacting. Maybe it wouldn't hurt if everyone just took a breath and chilled out a little. There's something incredibly intense—almost absurd, really—about the way the "topic guidelines" claim that hate speech will be "cut off at the root."😱
