Partial or temporary bans issued by request carry the same weight as those handed down by administration—meaning using alt accounts during their duration is strictly prohibited.

David Vaughn75 said:That whole court-appointed expert thing is a total joke. They just ask doctors to testify, and everyone ends up backing up whatever my doctor says even if they don't know a damn thing about me—some of them haven't even laid eyes on me!
And then the court expert asks the patient two quick questions and suddenly everything is crystal clear. 🙄
But look, to be totally blunt, sometimes it’s the only way to handle things, and I’m actually glad it worked out that way.

David Vaughn75 said:The math is simple: he refuses help + calls 911 when things go south = forced treatment.
I know guys like this personally because—let’s be real—I used to be one of them. Just totally losing my mind, hitting a breaking point, but acting like, "Nah, I'm fine, I don't need anyone's help." Honestly? Looking back, I’m actually glad I ended up in the psych ward against my will back then. It was exactly what I needed.
David Vaughn75 said:The reality is, they don't even bother rushing patients to the hospital until things get genuinely dangerous—either for themselves or everyone else nearby.
Look, vividorca9, just sit tight and wait for them to drop a line where they explicitly threaten to hurt themselves or someone else before you call 911, because honestly, that's about the only way you'll get a response. ☕
vividorca9 As follows:
He's currently on medication, but it just isn't working for him. He actually ended up in a psychotic break last time he took it... He only started this round again to please me regarding a certain matter we won't get into right now (not that anyone asked!). Every time he takes the pills, his libido becomes completely uncontrolled, and he develops this intense hyper-religiosity...
The inspection is underway...I suspect he might lie to his psychiatrists just because the medication seems to be working for him in that regard...
vividorca9 said:I know. But he just won't budge. Every time I tell him, "You're acting psychotic," he snaps back with, "I'm not psychotic, you're the one who's psychotic—look, you're crying." Well, yeah, I'm crying because I'm watching you act like an absolute idiot, not because I've lost my mind.
It's the same old stuff: religious obsessions, weird dreams, superstitions, and daydreaming all day without any connection to reality. Then there's the zero-control hypersexuality, the binge eating, and the total emotional instability. He’s also dealing with auditory hallucinations; I’m basically his worst enemy because he tells me he feels like people are attacking him through subtle cues (I won't go into detail so he doesn't recognize himself). It's just constant grandiose delusions fueled by people he thinks are "friends." He treats whatever they say as gospel, like he's lost the ability to think for himself. He parrots their words like a damn parrot, hides everything from me, and manipulates me constantly. And now, even loud noises are bothering him...🤷
So, is this psychosis, or am I actually the crazy one here? 🤷
Lisa Chase68 said:...so maybe we should let the admins weigh in first?
Kyle Ward said:Look, if you actually believe you're right about something, you don't need aggressive rhetoric. Solid, fact-based arguments are enough. But that's clearly not happening here. They just quote some random articles about gender equality from the Constitution of the USA, but the connection to these quota-driven posts is so weak even Milan wouldn't notice it. It all boils down to the classic move of getting worked up over nothing and throwing around empty buzzwords.
But hey, why don't you tell us, "soldier"—what exactly are you and your Brigadier fighting for here? What rights are you defending? Do you have the right to vote? Yeah, you do. Are these ridiculous threads being deleted? No, they aren't. In fact, the moderators—with their chronic inactivity and blatant favoritism—are basically encouraging the constant spread of these mindless feminist propaganda pamphlets.
So, what rights are you actually fighting for when you already possess all of them? From everything I can gather here, it seems like the only thing you're really fighting for is the artificial implantation of a uterus into every man, just so we can finally be "capable" like you.
Close this thread. 🙄
Kenneth Ross8 said:The issue isn't whether we need a spokesperson; it's that we're all fed up. We've been asking ourselves: "Is there any point?" Motivation is gone because nothing seems worth the effort anymore.
How about you go through the thread right now?
Thanks!
We aren't arguing against the flag, nor are we debating whether it was justified!
I'd love to, as soon as we close these two current threads!
If questions or confusion arise later, a separate thread will be opened.
Let's just assume everything is clear for now!
All we can say is: thanks to the former moderator for the misinformation!!
Hopefully, fermina-daza, Snowcrowned, Chocolate puma, and Corduroy won't follow the lead of the previous moderators—or even the current passive ones.
And that they'll give it their all to restore the old reputation of the PDF ''PŠ''.
Michelle Evans, thanks for the thorough answers!
restlessangler said:I'm still not quite sure why the thread was closed, but oh well...
I realize I could find the same answers elsewhere—Google works wonders—but when I think back to how Blue Paw first started out...
If my memory serves me right, before Blue Paw became what it is now, the focus wasn't so much on fundraising or donations, but rather providing help for the little ones found out on the streets. I'm not sure exactly when that shifted so much.
At any rate, I'm just a small drop in the ocean compared to all the Blue Paw members who have passed through here. I believe rules can change, and they do, so it’s up to me to either adapt or move on...
It’s my own fault for being "out of the loop" for so long; I came here hoping to find support and information all in one place. Ironically, I think this is the only animal for which I haven't asked for financial aid or food assistance...
I hope you aren't upset (mods) that I'm posting here. There's no anger on my end, just a bit of a question mark over my head and some genuine disappointment... :/
Kenneth Ross8 said:Let’s be real here. This intervention and assessment feel incredibly off. It’s been determined that what's needed is... And nobody noticed that the forum members are having major issues with the moderators? Please. It's more like the moderators are just straight-up ignoring everyone's questions! If you want an actual assessment, don't just drop a photo and walk away. You need to go through the thread and provide some context first.
Let's hope for a better turnout this time around.
The problem is simple: the moderators are letting arrogance, blatant disregard for other users, and total passivity slide. It’s unacceptable.
Still nothing. One topic. They opened an investigation because people filed complaints about their performance. The moderator still hasn't weighed in, and the admins haven't said a word either. Still, we're holding out hope they actually show up.
Good to know we have that option moving forward!
Yes!!
We sent our inquiry to moderator Snowcrowned first. She was polite enough to let us know she’s still getting caught up since she just got back.
Now we're just waiting on a response from moderator fermina-daza.
The problem is that the moderators allow arrogance, ignoring users, passivity...
So far, one thread has been opened to complain about their performance. A moderator hasn't even replied to it yet, and the admins haven't stepped in, though we're still hoping they will!
There are!!
We first sent our inquiry to moderator Snowcrowned, who kindly told us she was still catching up since she just got back.
Now we're just waiting to hear from moderator fermina-daza.
Kenneth Ross8 said:A moderator literally stated once that they should put in the effort to make it so that when you hit that little icon, every single admin sees the report.
That was the official word!
So, I guess the logical conclusion is that from now on, we have to file every single complaint through the PŽK!
It’s interesting to think that from now on, we'll have to file every single complaint through the PŽK...
Roger Ortiz2 said:Is there anything else that needs clearing up?
There is on my end, specifically an inquiry I filed in the appeals and sanctions section that hasn't received a response yet.
It concerns that claim of a staggering 75 instances regarding something being constant...
Does that mean you're constantly monitoring the entire forum, or are you specifically watching my posts, because about 50 of my attempts to use the report button yielded absolutely nothing except for deleted posts, so now...
The reporting system might be broken, considering I saw Cirduroy looking pretty baffled by the volume one day...
But since I posted this in the right place, I assume an answer to that part can be found here.
Kenneth Ross8 said:Since we had our first "encounter" with supermoderator Michelle Evans when we were handed a red card back on July 18, 2013—not that we’re complaining about the penalty itself—we want to know:
1. Does a supermoderator just act like a ghost, waiting for regular moderators to ask for a red card, or is there actually an obligation to be impartial, look into the issue themselves, and act fairly?
2. Why has this same person never taken any action regarding Pets, despite being appointed as supermoderator on October 15, 2012, at 8:56 PM?
, yet there have been countless occasions where action was required?
The same person didn't even step in when the topic was raised: "It's high time you finally brought some order to the blue paw subforum!" which went completely ignored without any meaningful answers to the requests made!!
What exactly is the role of a supermoderator? When are they supposed to act? What are their specific duties?
Thanks for the answers!!
.
2. What’s the reasoning behind that... Never... He hasn't actually posted anything in the Pets section yet, even though his status was updated to supermoderator back on October 15, 2012...
...and wasn't there a need to question his actions several times over?
It didn't make any difference even when the topic was first introduced... It is high time you finally brought some order to the Blue Paw subforum... Which one is still waiting on those essential answers...
Kenneth Ross8 The user said:/cut/
Mrs. Michelle Evans, as a supermoderator, you surely saw our inquiry on... Announcements, suggestions, ideas, or calls to action... please share them here... When you responded to that thread, it was for entirely different reasons...
When the moderators and even the supermoderators aren't responding, I think it’s perfectly reasonable to start looking for answers elsewhere... I need some help... From Admin...
