Is it just me, or is nobody else able to click "go to last post" or "" on certain threads? I guess I'm wondering if this is happening to everyone or if my browser is just acting up again.

Maria Barnes, when are you finally going to replace ZgSash? ☕

why modern forums suck

Hey there.

Thanks, wiredmason10.

Look, I didn't start this thread just so everyone else could become a moderator.🙄

wiredfalcon2 said:Just get back to me, I guess, and we can figure something out.

urbanhawk17 said:Tomorrow?

Nothing?

What happened? You don't seem to care much about this.
☕

wiredfalcon2 said:Well, just get in touch, I guess. We can figure out the details later.

p.s. PDF is a total disaster. If current management actually had an ounce of integrity, they’d probably be forced to resign already.☕

Tomorrow?

wiredfalcon2 said:Those three aren't even trying,🤣

Look at these idiots.

Let's just go get hammered.☕

Listen up, everyone.

I’m not sure if you all check the football subforum or whatever else lately, but there are only three moderators handling that section:

George W. Bush
L.Nimoy
Ferdibrand Boffin

No matter how hard those three try to keep things readable and engaging, they just can't keep up. People have lives, and there are way too many threads to track, especially with this massive influx of users.

A lot of them are just here to spam, troll, and pull all that other nonsense that isn't allowed on this site.

So, I'm asking the admins to step in quickly. This is getting pretty unbearable.

Thanks in advance,

shadowpilot8 said:Here is an opinion from one of the moderators, if you even care—though I'm not sure why you're looking for reasons to ban me 😉. For the record, I wouldn't mind a ban if they decided to hand one out; it would be a first for me, and unlike many people here, I wouldn't complain about it 😁
.
We finally have two admins who actually show up and get things done. From my perspective, it’s perfectly fair. In my book, the group of you who have been dragging this out for days would have earned a three-day timeout for provocation 🙂
. But that’s just my take, and since I’m not an admin, don't lose any sleep over it

You're entitled to your opinion. I respect that.

I’m curious too—what exactly counts as "provocation" here? I mean, did we just start threads to vent our frustrations? Is that what we're calling it now?

I mean, if I’m unhappy with the cardboard—which we clearly were and still are—here’s the PDF where he’s complaining. And honestly, if you go around whining about the packaging, you probably won't get any packaging at all.

Regarding my bans... I've been banned twice now. Once was for being insulting, I guess. I guess I'll just leave this here. I was actually the one who requested that ban, and just once because I was messing around with a mod. Delvecchio.

And then, boom—two bans in fifteen days. Just like that. Sash.

Have I finally lost my mind? I just got hit with two bans in fifteen days, right after serving a two-and-a-half-year suspension. Maybe I am just losing it.

Tell me, is this actually normal to you? Just being objective, I mean.

P.S. I still haven't received an explanation for my first warning. And honestly, if we have to keep pushing until someone actually gives us an answer, what’s the problem with that?

Alright, looks like the person who handed me this ban isn't checking in.

So I’m asking here instead—you want to tell me why I got banned, or what?

Matthew Anderson4 said:I get the feeling ZgYawn is just acting crazy🤷

This might be my favorite part
🙏 When
bilokoje
calls me crazy, I guess that's fine. It’s normal. But when Matthew Anderson4 claims hollowtrucker77 is losing it, well, that’s where we have an issue. That’s practically grounds for dismissal. The bias here is pretty glaring, I suppose.🙏 🙏

🙂

I guess I haven't heard back yet ☕

hollowtrucker77 said:Let’s break this down slowly: you start some pointless thread because you don't like a specific emoji,
then you get a warning just for starting a useless topic.
Which part of that isn't clear?
Then you start insulting people and get a strike for verbal abuse.
Then you open another thread acting confused, and finally, you get the ban.

So, what exactly is unclear here? How much time should we waste explaining the obvious, and how long does someone have to play dumb before the permanent bans actually start rolling in?

From where I'm sitting, the group mentioned above should probably just be grateful for how patient the mods and admins here have been.

So, according to you, starting a thread asking for 🤦 something equally pointless follows that same logic.

Like I said, give me one actual reason for my first warning, because what you're saying doesn't count as a reason.

And don't try to pin a second warning on me; I already admitted I deserved that one.

p.s. Are you threatening me with a permanent ban?

hollowtrucker77 said:urbanhawk17, look, I’m asking you to please just go back, read my previous post one more time—really carefully this time—and then look at your response to it.
If you and your little group want to play dumb for fun, that’s on you, but maybe do it somewhere else where you aren't bothering anyone.

Look, I am just asking you to give me one single reason why I got that first warning, which ended up being the whole reason I got banned in the end.

I’ll admit, the second warning was fair enough, and I’m not arguing that one (you issued it), but I am questioning the third one (which wasn't you, that was Tyndall).

I’m not playing games here; I just don't like that smiley icon. Half the football world would probably agree with me on that. I even submitted a suggestion to replace it via the official PDF meant for those things, didn't I?

And if you think I was messing around in the football section just to be funny, I wasn't. Like I said, bans on the football board happen because of trolling over on the Premiership, and strangely enough, moderators themselves volunteer to troll and end up getting banned.

To me, it feels like opening a 'Champions League' thread on the football board and getting banned for it—it's a paradox and a complete disregard for the rules of this forum that you keep citing.

Show me one thing. Just one rule that justifies my warning.

Just be fair and admit you made a mistake.

Your only explanation is that we're being ridiculous and that you have no intention of explaining the ban, which, honestly, is kind of ridiculous itself.🙂

😁

I'm not on some grand mission here, I'm just looking for an explanation 🙂

And there's really no reason for me to take offense 🙂

shadowpilot8 said:No, I think you actually started this thread just so you could keep rambling once the original gets deleted or you get flagged. 😉

That’s not it. Just look at my post history and see how many times I’ve used 😂. That should be enough. I’m thinking the number is zero. 🙂

I realized that after watching that whole circus over at the CIA and the FBI. It felt like you guys were all just following orders from some higher authority. 😁

Go read about the Premier League; maybe then you'll understand why things are going down in football. I'm not the cause. Not even by 0%. 🙂

Especially since a guy with 10,000 posts would try to reopen a closed thread. You knew that was a fast track to getting banned. 🙂

Which same thread?

p.s. Your post (no offense intended) is full of inaccuracies. And if you end up banning me because of it, then the issue isn't with the users. 🙂

shadowpilot8 said:Urbanhawk17, are you playing dumb here🙂? You're just trolling everyone with this 😉 argument, right?
The topic was pretty stupid, and the appeal was clearly intentional.
Just leave the guy alone.

I mean, how else am I supposed to appeal if not intentionally? Am I supposed to act like it was an accident?

The topic was what it was, and I thought it was perfectly fine. If some people didn't see it that way, I guess that's not my problem.

Tell me, should he have just deleted the thread? Or maybe sent me a private message saying the topic was stupid and calling it a day?

I probably would have explained my reasoning to him then.

But no, instead he hands me a ban, and then I have to file an appeal—which, yeah, is intentional.

What part of that isn't clear?

He can tell me exactly why I got banned, because honestly, there wasn't a single valid reason for it.

wiredgull25 said:Give me a break. Seth is the man. Honestly, I don't know how anyone has the patience or the tolerance to deal with you people. You're acting like a bunch of toddlers. He screwed you over, and he banned you too. I’d honestly consider hitting you with a permanent ban right now just for all this whining. Man up and take it. Show some backbone.

Where the hell am I?

hollowtrucker77 said:You start a thread about nothing and then act surprised when you get zero engagement.
So you go out and make a mess of things, only to act surprised when everything falls apart. I guess that's just how it goes.
So you start a new thread and get slapped with another strike. That one wasn't even from me, by the way.
So you’re actually surprised? I guess you expect everyone to just be on call for you, ready to jump through hoops and explain things over and over again. Maybe that's just how you see the world.
Look, you really should have learned how to behave before joining this forum, or honestly, before trying to interact with people anywhere else.
I don't have the energy, the time, or the patience for that. Honestly, my tolerance for this stuff is pretty much zero.

Understood. I'm ready to go. Just send over the text you need me to rework.

I'm not going to tell you who gave me my second strike, okay? Because it was you. Yeah, you heard me. It was you. As for the third strike, the ban itself came from someone else entirely. That’s the first lie in this whole mess.

Another thing.

Yeah, I’m still waiting for an explanation about those memes. You wiped the entire thread and my post, then had the nerve to tell me that Alex Cook and I weren't being funny. I’d like an actual explanation, but I’m guessing that isn't coming.

I think I've finally wrapped my head around the rules of conduct.

Don't you dare tell me I started a pointless thread. What logic are you even using there? It wasn't exactly "pointless" when we were all looking for this earlier, was it? 🤦 ?

I also shared my take on... 😂

So I just opened it up in the PDF reader meant for it.

Look, I think I’ve actually been banned four times on this forum now. And get this—two of those bans happened within just ten days of you. I guess.

Who's the crazy one here? 🤷

P.S. Yeah, you’re supposed to be on call when someone gets flagged, especially if you're expected to provide an explanation for it—which you didn't.

I have a serious issue with how the admin ( 😕 ) hollowtrucker77 handles moderation.

He banned me for absolutely no reason, just because I started a thread here—which is exactly where it belonged.

Maybe he thought I was just trolling or messing around, but honestly, that wasn't the case. I have no idea what his logic was, and since he didn't bother explaining himself over at the FBI, I guess I'm looking for answers here.

Also, your moderation style is pretty bad. It really isn't. You have zero tolerance. You could have just asked why I opened the thread or something, but instead, you just handed out a ban when I hadn't even done anything wrong.

I don't think I'm the only one complaining about you, either. I suspect maybe 90% of this forum has issues with your approach, yet you just keep doing things your way. Why is that?

In my opinion, making someone an admin was a mistake, but fine, if you're going to hold the position, at least try to show some tolerance.

Chirac 🙏🙏🤣

Seriously, if it weren't for you, this whole thread would have gone completely dead 🙏
