Look, there isn't really a jury here, but the high court thinks that's total nonsense.

Linda Diaz282 said:So here’s what happened—I’m trying to sell my uncle's house and land through Craigslist, and honestly, I didn't even have a single person interested until yesterday. Then I get this email:

Nasser Hussein for me

show details May 10 (1 day ago)

Hello How are you today? I am interested in your advert Real Estate Company .Please is it still on sale? I like it. What is your last price? Email me on 😢capt.hn5710@gmail.com) email box I am waiting to hear from you for payment. Regards, Nasser Hussein.
Listing: http://www.craigslist.com/real-estate/listing/house-for-sale-2642941

So, I replied to him:

It is still for sale, the final price will be discussed when you arrive and see the house and yard, which means that it is not a fixed price

And his response to me:

Hello my Dear,

Thanks for your response to my request

It seems to me that you are a very sincere person and I want to use this medium to inform you that I will buy your house at your last given price, I must buy. I have option at your good price. Please kindly remove the photo from the site after the business proposal I will make use of it when I come visiting you. And you will make a very GOOD PROFIT.

Let me introduce my Humble-self to you, I am a captain with the UN troop in Iraq, on war against terrorism. Based on the US legislative and executive decision for withdrawing troops from Iraq next year, I have been deployed to work in your country on a military base soonest. Our mission is to help beef up terrorist targeted states, mostly the United States and the European Union on the war against terrorism.

On the other hand, I want to inform you that I have in my possession the sum of (16.2 million US.D) Which I got from crude oil deal here in Iraq. I deposited this money with a Red Cross Security company by informing him that we are making contact for the real owner of the consignment funds. And it is under my power to approve whoever that comes forth for the consignment.

I want to invest the money in your country as soon as I am deployed into your country for a good business, anyway you will advice me on that since I am not a business person. I cannot move this money to the United States because I will be in your country for about 3 years, so I need someone I could trust to channel these funds & If you accepted, I will be smuggle to transfer the money to you where you can go for the pickup or you can agree with the diplomat base on how he can help to deliver the consignment to you.

I am a uniformed person; I cannot be parading with such an amount, so I need to present someone to stand as the recipient. I am an American and an intelligence officer and for that, I have a 100% authentic means of transferring the consignment to Europe, I just need your acceptance and all will be done.

Please if you are interested and capable in this deal, I will give to you the complete details that you need for us to carry out this deal successfully, I decided to find someone that is real, not an imaginary,

Where we are now we can only communicate through our military communication facilities, which is secured so nobody can monitor our emails, then I can explain in details to you, I only reach you through email, because our calls might be monitored, but I have to be sure of whom I am dealing with

Please send me your personal mobile number, if you are interested, so I can call you for further Inquiry when I am out of our military network, am writing from a fresh email account. So if you are not interested do not reply to this email and please delete this message and if there is no response to my mail box after 3days I will then search for someone else.

Just waiting on your contact info so we can finally get moving—I’m offering you 30% of the total, while I keep 70%. Seems more than fair to me, right? Let me know your complete

details:

YOUR FULL NAME.....................................

YOUR FULL ADDRESS....................

YOUR DIRECT PHONE NUMBER........

GENDER / AGE………….

Occupation……………………………

Regards,

Capt. Nasser Hussein

Military Base in Iraq,

BAGHDAD.

I mean, seriously—what is a person even supposed to say to this? 🤷

A man says this sub is totally the wrong place for this.

Jacob Lewis5 said:Sure, you could go that route.

Just don't come crying to me when things go south—consider this your one and only warning about the fallout.🥳

Seriously.

There’s already a thread about Obama, and you actually went ahead and started a whole new one after a moderator already shut down a similar topic once? You're lucky you didn't get banned or something.

Charles Fox10 said:Getting triggered and trolled???

Classic.

For sure. It’s honestly a hilarious complaint, especially since the massive wave of trolling that followed didn't even help their case. I'm a bit tied up right now so I can't hand out those well-deserved bans just yet, but don't worry, things will settle themselves out eventually.

marloc, look, if we were actually planning on pulling any more boxes, we would’ve done it ages ago. If we aren't making a scene, it just means those boxes are staying put.

Also, this thread is getting a bit much. If you feel the urge to vent about the boxes again (and let's be real, you probably will), there's already a perfect thread specifically for all that whining.

Richard Wilson4 said:look, nobody actually appointed you to be my babysitter, I’m just trying to play nice and stay out of off-topic territory.
anyway, I'm not even gonna get into that right now—peace out.

Wrong. Moderators aren't just there to clean up messes; they actually need to care about the quality of the conversation too.

mellowdrifter32 said:Can you guys please clear my penalty points? I’m sitting at 220 right now, but since those trolling strikes were already taken off, I should be down to 135. I'm just hoping that doesn't mean those old penalties somehow got added back on?

Nah, you just got one 35-point strike taken off. For the rest of them, you just gotta wait for them to expire naturally.

I could also use an explanation for why my posts from earlier today got nuked.

Because they were troll posts again, so they got wiped.

You got slapped with a warning for trolling, and honestly, I think it's totally fair. I'm not looking to take it back.

Besides, nobody’s forcing you to hang out here—if you don't like it, just log off and call it a day. 🙂

Man, stop acting like 🤦

This post is just dumb. We don't need stupid posts cluttering things up here.

Gregory Anderson5 said:Is any of the big shots here actually gonna step up and tell me why my post got nuked?
The mods can weigh in too.

Look, deleting spammy one-liners doesn't kill the vibe. Nothing important gets lost when that junk gets wiped.

Links?

What a total joke.

🤦

Yeah, look, partial bans aren't some temporary thing with an expiration date—they stay until further notice. As for getting rid of them? If you go, say, the next 18 months without catching a single warning or getting banned at all, and you don't even show up to the Town Hall meetings... then maybe we can start thinking about it.

But "thinking about it" is the keyword here.

Moving forward.

William Fisher26 said:Obviously, I know this isn't a democracy. However, I had no idea advocacy was banned—Tvuku could have just told me that directly instead of dragging out an argument and making me think it was allowed.
I haven't spent my life studying the PŽK rules until today—as strange as that may seem to you.

Honestly, I’d suggest checking it out ASAP. It also says right there that insults are strictly prohibited, and being disrespectful is a quick way to get a thread shut down.

Besides, this thread is pretty much expired anyway, so might as well just scrap it before it totally rots.

Amy Baker10 said:Man, you really seem obsessed with proving how much less you are than everyone else, huh?☕

Anyway, I'm done here. Peace out.

So, this whole thread was just a massive pile of alternative nonsense, conspiracy theories, and all that weird stuff that just doesn't belong here in Religion. Since you actually said it’d be better to just scrap the thread instead of moving it over to Alternative views, I went ahead and deleted it. It really just doesn't fit under the Religion umbrella at all.

The TV mods made their call, and management is totally on board with it.

Consider this thread closed.

Locked.

(Just a heads up, if you start dragging this same drama over to the main message boards, expect to get banned. Don't say I didn't warn you.)

This is stupid on a whole different level 🤦

Jeffrey Cooper7, that partial ban from the US is staying put and isn't going anywhere. Honestly, just be glad they're only dealing with a partial ban on one single subforum.
