Hold on we already have a dedicated thread for conspiracy theories, even though there’s already an omnibus thread covering them all in the same pdf...

Standing by my colleague👍

🤣
Where exactly am I "wedging" myself?
I wrote some praise for the moderators on a different thread; I don't see that as brown-nosing, just a straightforward compliment.
Think about how many posts they've wiped from my account because I started threads and such.
What exactly is the alternative here if I want to avoid being labeled a sycophant?
Should I be collecting bans and warnings instead?

So, you think I’m cut out to be a moderator for the 'Gen Z' subforum?

Do you honestly believe I have the temperament for that job?

👍

A massive thanks to both of these esteemed Reddit users for their constructive contributions to the thread,
and especially for such an intellectually refreshing and innovative attempt to capture the full scope of the situation.

It’s my own view as well—it isn't enough to just poke at the tip of the iceberg. To actually solve the problem, one has to dive much deeper than the obvious surface level of common sense...

Sarcasm?😁

Why on earth would anyone need your permission just to put you on ignore?🤔

Tyler Garcia69 said:I have a few questions for the esteemed moderation team.

1. Why can't I access the ban corner? Every single time I've been banned in the past, I haven't been able to get in there, and it’s the same story now. It’s impossible to post anything. Please look into what's going on, and while you're at it, I'd request that this feature be enabled—or rather, re-enabled—just in case. Thanks in advance.

Look, if you aren't currently banned, you can't post in the ban corner. That's the rule for everyone except the moderators, super-mods, and Admins. Everyone else, as I've already stated, is locked out.

Raymond Newman2 said:I was wondering if I could possibly request a ban4life or just whatever the longest duration available might be. Thanks.

Stay
I actually made a similar request once and ended up getting banned
It was a close call, but I made it through☕

Benjamin Taylor90 said:Or maybe Anderlon could stop being cheap and pay someone a decent amount to handle the migration—you know, actually moving the core topics, posts, and user profiles to a new platform? 😁

And what kind of "work" are you even talking about? I doubt it would take more than a few hours to port everything over to a new site. As for the mods, they aren't exactly essential here; they don't have any real authority anyway.

Irrelevant? That's a stretch. They're essentially the police force of this Reddit.😁

It’s a damn shame they nuked the thread
The commentary was pure gold😁

silentfalcon3 said:An old joke for you:

A CEO asks one of his employees...
-Why isn't the internet working?
-The server went down!
-Who carried it away?

I think I rolled my eyes just a little too hard at that one.☕>

Larry Walker24 said:I’m planning to reopen in October—just to let six months pass since the last request—but I’m going to go with a much sharper title and a more direct approach. It's clear that playing nice isn't getting the job done.

Go for it, Larry Walker24. We're rooting for you.🙂

Larry Walker24 said:🙂

He's been stuck on my TV screen for ten years now.🤦

Go ahead, complain. Go on a hunger strike until they finally cut your part of the budget.☕

Standing by a colleague👍

Wrong subforum🙂

Ask here

Casey Bennett said:I'll report it, though honestly, I doubt things will actually get fixed.

You doubt it’ll be fixed? Fine. Then what exactly is the point of having those software engineers or whatever they call them who are supposedly there to squash bugs?🤦

To be honest, the site hasn't actually been down for me over the last few days, but it’s been crawling at a snail's pace. It took me a good ten minutes just to get my last post out the door.🤦

Larry Wilson25 said:Honestly, when the government is footing the bill, it's always better than paying for ads.

Look, folks—this forum is old, the owner is old, I'm old, even the women are getting old... and now we're supposed to just welcome some mistyhound94 bringing in all this "new technology"?
As if we need fancy new servers or some version of vBulletin 10.012 just to make it run like Reddit.

If Microsoft suddenly recovered everything they lost on their stock price and decided to totally overhaul the site's format, I bet everyone would start a riot. Personally? I'm perfectly happy typing away on my Nokia with those massive buttons. Texting is king—who cares about WhatsApp, Viber, Snapchat, or Instagram anyway?

Old School🙏

"How do you log out of Reddit?
Just send someone a private message."

And so on.
