I know there are plenty of idiots out there who get worked up over jerseys, even back home, but using that as an actual argument is just... I don't even have the right words...
Maybe your kids don't care. Since you're just telling them fairy tales at bedtime. Just like those construction crews sent to Republika Srpska.
You're pathetic. Acting like some little kid getting picked on at school...
Modrobradi said:You can't see what's right in front of you when you're too short-sighted.
Tomson’s music isn't much, maybe three or four good tracks... but it’s patriotic. "Cavoglave" is basically an anthem against aggression, an ode to courage and loyalty to the homeland, choosing sacrifice over comfort, and a loud middle finger to the overwhelming force tearing through our homes.
That was the song people used to honor their fallen...
Someone who’s been driven from his own flock and left to struggle in isolation, trying to find their way in a world they didn't choose—they get it. And at the height of their glory, they want to share that with the World.
Americans haven't threatened the kids living across the border in Mexico. Just their politicians.
That's why I wrote it yesterday—keep it real, Ćiro. The man said nobody should mess with American patriotism.
Amanda Diaz said:So this girl at my favorite fast food joint tells me now that since I shaved, I'm just some guy with a beard and no lips. What a joke, everything is backwards today, you can't even wear a black jersey with a beard. And where's the black jersey? That's the bigger problem. Just drowning my sorrows in a soda.
And there's nothing left to hold onto.
It's all gone bad now.
Amanda Diaz said:Went out to buy a black jersey this morning and they told me they don't have any. What a disaster, how am I supposed to show up now? The clerk says they only have red and white, and honestly, where else am I supposed to go? You can't exactly hang out at the pier wearing red and white.
So, my trip to Mexico City was a total bust.😢
Amanda Diaz said:Hey, bulldozers are always a good investment. They could level out Republika Srpska once and for all.
7nationarmy said:Here we go again. It’s the same old story—some girl gets worked up because Americans won't cheer for the Mexican team, starts a whole chain reaction of nonsense, and keeps going until she decides she needs to call for a split just to avoid seeing all these patriots and everything else...
swiftranger46 said:Man, this clone is always trolling here.
swiftranger46 said:Just wanted to say I'm rooting for the Blue Team. 🎉
And another thing that's got me worried and confused 😲 😲 is how it's been 3:00 PM on a Friday and there are only 7 people on the Forum. 😲 😲
Oh, and yeah, I'm making some cheese pastries right now for Misica. 😍
Modrobradi said:There are better places for online hangouts where you can actually be yourself and find plenty of die-hard fans.
Amanda Diaz said:Why? Come on, you aren't really scared of some empty barking, are you? They bark a lot because they just want attention. Kind of like my daughter... she got scared, and I told her I'd pull the batteries out of her backside if she was that afraid...
You were the one acting all silly and giggling. You’re the one stirring the pot, cheering on the drama, and basically shutting down anyone who didn't agree with you...
Yeah, and regarding those specific posts about the local town, they got deleted along with half the thread, including that whole tractor protest saga...
Luckily, I saved a bit of this, even though I usually scrub the nonsense... On the post where Ryan Collins called you out for constantly inciting fights and trash-talking, this was your response—which also got nuked, but I kept it in my personal files...
swiftranger46 said:Look at this post I wasn't getting worked up; I was just over all of you. Especially you, acting like you're being attacked every five seconds, leaving for two pages, then coming right back. And then there's your little friends who show up just to provoke people and then pretend to be classy ladies, when really they're just looking for a fight and know exactly how it ends, but they come back anyway just to mess with everyone...
Anyway, that's my take.
Just to set the record straight.
Actually, I am a lady, and yeah, I used to be your friend. You were the one personally asking me to join your group chats... When exactly did this "friendship" happen, and why did it end? Maybe right about now...
And no, I wasn't "acting out," I was just stating facts...
This DiK used to be a place where interesting, creative people hung out and nobody cared about labels. That was until this group of frustrated, wannabe nationalists showed up, claiming things that aren't theirs and attacking anyone who doesn't fall in line. They're basically terrorizing the entire message board...
The fact that you've suddenly started picking on me isn't my problem... It's yours...
I'm done writing here...
And if anyone still has doubts, just go read the rules set by the owner...
Sorry, but you can only run wild in your own house.
Just be a grown-up and admit it bothers you that I'm an American on this board. Why hide your true feelings behind all this fluff? You started this whole mess, from the moment you posted that you couldn't stand anyone who didn't support the local political movement! You fueled the fire and played games with posts that only stayed up because half the conversation was deleted, just like Ryan Collins pointed out...
Stop playing games...
I'm not participating in this debate anymore. It feels wrong to post stuff like this on the PŽK alongside two moderators who don't seem to care, and a bunch of adults who think they're so much smarter than everyone else...
I have no interest in wasting more time on people who can't see past their own noses...
Regarding that whole "they're from the off" thing, let me remind slypuma12 that I'm not part of that group. I was hanging out on Dik-chatu way before you even showed up... And I'm active on plenty of other subreddits too, like the Music one. So, seriously, quit trying to gatekeep like that.
The second thing—or really the main reason dustypilot11 started this thread—is exactly what you did: you DELETED your post?! Honestly, it would’ve been better if you just left it there for the whole community to see.
Since when does deleting a post count as a punishment? Why wasn't that offensive post first flagged with a warning and then deleted, which is how you normally handle rule-breaking here?
So we're back to dustypilot11's question: why are posts where a female user is targeted with insults like "whore" or "drunkard" just wiped away without any penalty, while posts with much more harmless comments (like the ones from Daria) get hit with massive bans?
The issue with you, slypuma12, is that you don't actually look at why things are happening. You just come in all hysterical, start screaming at the big shots, handing out penalties like a schoolteacher before locking the whole thread down...
That isn't moderation; it’s more like how a preschool teacher handles a playground spat. Who even authorized a thread where people can mock someone's race or religion? Doesn't the rulebook explicitly state that any kind of discrimination or harassment is strictly forbidden and will be punished?
Your real problem is that you can't gauge the weight of an insult. You just show up, lose your cool, and hand out the exact same penalty to someone making a vile threat as you do to someone calling a guy a character from a TV show... Because you miss the root cause, you fail to shut down a fight the second it turns toxic. Instead, you let everything spiral into total nonsense and then selectively pass out the penalties... That's why you're getting heat from anonymous users, and honestly, that's why Dario went after you too. You gave him a partial because he called you out, yet you turn a blind eye to others who are constantly insulting people while pretending you don't see it... You guys aren't school professors, and we aren't kids here.
Amanda Diaz, have a little dignity and some backbone and actually stand by your own views... You're not in a classroom.
The whole debate started with that post from swiftranger46—that thread is still sitting there with the call to sing those songs, plus about four or five posts from Wakijev further down the line.
Besides, even if stuff gets deleted, the supermods can still read it.
Just like how you’re insulting me now, you were doing the same thing back then. It’s like a corporate hit job. Everyone who isn't a mindless follower and dared to disagree gets targeted. People obsessed with political bias, toxic masculinity, or whatever else... I honestly wonder why...
What people don't seem to get about this forum is that there are no borders here. You don't need a passport to join a discussion. Everything you own stays within your own four walls.
Point three is basically the beginning and end of this entire argument.
So, let's circle back to what dustypilot11 was asking: Is the moderation biased?
The whole fight on Anthony's thread started when swiftranger46 posted, basically calling for everyone to sing songs about Cavoglave... claiming she’s disgusted by anyone who doesn't support Tomson.
If you’re going to jump in, at least tell the truth.
Between all that talk about the "tractor parade," those other threads filled with brainwashing and people attacking anyone with a different opinion, and then you personally linking to that Mexican forum to tell me I don't belong here... it’s all pretty "mature" and intellectual, isn't it? 👍
Dario was just the one who didn't go along with your posts, yet he got banned for nonsense that didn't even include personal insults. As for Parcial, he got flagged for things said to Wackya that aren't any worse than what most people down here say to anyone they disagree with every single day.
But anyway, that's not what we're talking about here.
Hey, if any of the supermods aren't hating on me, could you please take a look at those deleted posts?
I don't see why I should feel embarrassed, slypuma12. If my accent gets under someone's skin, that's on them, not me. Take a look at my posts, then look at yours, and maybe you'll figure out who actually needs to be embarrassed.
Besides, I’m not the topic here—I’m just standing up for what’s true. You don't need to explain anything else to me. Other users started this thread, so don't bother messaging me; go argue your points with the rest of the ladies on the Forum. 👍
And this isn't even about me. It's about all of you and the issues that other users are dealing with too, not just me.
By the way, what "advice" are you even talking about? I haven't even said a word in the chat for weeks—back when that "great" user this thread is about was spending days insulting both me and Daria right in front of everyone. And not one of you said a single thing until I finally reacted? And then you have the nerve to write that above...🙂
Honestly, I don't have the time or the energy for this nonsense. Do whatever you want, I really don't care. I just happen to have a massive ego and a need to clear the air. Whatever. 🙂
slypuma12, are you seriously trying to say Dario earned his partial ban while Gray didn't?
So you brought the whole Anthony chat over from Off, but what's your point?
Dario didn't get flagged because he went against the mods, he got hit because he stood up against the hate and the attacks on me in the "Anthony" chat just because I'm an American woman, and because he called you out for constantly ignoring everything being said.
Look, we all left that chat, so how is it possible that now other people are complaining and starting threads where they're just repeating everything I’ve already said and told you—everything you refuse to admit and keep denying?
What battles are you even talking about? Down there, there's a handful of people openly discriminating against users in every way imaginable—users who verbally attack everyone by writing the absolute worst things possible, which you guys just delete to maintain a fake sense of "good vibes," pretending nothing is actually happening.
Honestly, I don't even care anymore since I have no intention of writing anything else, but I couldn't just tune out something that hurts this much—the injustice you're consciously and deliberately tolerating. You gave Dario a partial ban because he offended you, so how can you believe that other users aren't hurt just as much when they're insulted, especially when they don't have your power to just kick them off the site?
The second anyone called a female user a slut, a drunk, or a traitor, they should have been slapped with a partial ban and a permanent ban immediately.
That's how you handle things, folks! That's where I stand! 👍
You know me, I'm always on the right side of this... 👍
And just so I'm not shouting into the void:
To be honest, both Skene and Frank were getting along just fine. This whole mess started after you guys showed up. I have zero interest in digging into the backstory of your drama. All my colleague and I care about is keeping the vibe chill on this thread. If you've got beef, take it to the DMs. It doesn't affect anyone else anyway.
Look, Skene and I didn't have any issues until you and Dario arrived, and then everything went south. Just calm down or go find some other PDF that won't get under your skin so much.
So, let's recap:
he insulted Frank, he insulted me, he insulted Dario, he insulted Wacky, he insulted dustypilot11, he insulted Womcat...
And you think these excuses actually make sense?
By the way, neither Frank, nor Wacky, nor Womcat are even from the Off boards, so that whole "spillover" argument doesn't hold water...
Sorry, but it looks like dustypilot11 was right all along...
Even though I’ve decided to step away from this forum for good, and probably won't be back anytime soon, I just can't walk away without saying this...
It’s funny how you straight-up accused me and Daria of being the ones who brought chaos to this board. You were pretty harsh with me, claiming there were never any issues before we showed up and that Frank and the others got along perfectly until we arrived. It's interesting to note, especially since we haven't even been active here for a while, yet suddenly a new user pops up and thinks it’s totally fine to drop a massive wave of insults and filth without facing any consequences—just because nobody bothered to hit the report button, I guess... I mean, if nobody complains, does that mean the insults didn't even happen? Or do they just get deleted in the name of maintaining a "lovely" atmosphere?
And there it is, right on cue: that classic old argument about "those people from the Off section"... Since when did this forum split into those from Off, those from the US side, or those from Dik? Isn't a forum supposed to be one single community where people post based on their interests, hobbies, or the users they vibe with? Since when did we start dividing ourselves into little territories?
You've consistently pushed down every user on this board. You drove Frank to leave, you gave Daria a partial ban, and you systematically picked at me until I finally had enough and walked away from the whole thing...
I'm only writing this to stand up for dustypilot11 and all the sane people left here who are exhausted from constantly trying to prove things that should be obvious to anyone with half a brain. It seems like nobody else has the guts to speak up, probably because they're terrified of getting banned. They're too scared to say they're just as sick of this nonsense, the toxic communication, and the way you moderate...
You actually sent me a private message personally, claiming everything was fine until Dario and I appeared. When I complained about the constant insults and the garbage being posted everywhere, your only response was telling me to just leave the forum...
It seems perfectly normal to you when a user calls another woman a slut, a drunk, or a bitch, or calls a guy "sexually frustrated" or some other garbage. Let's be clear: it’s only considered "normal" as long as those words aren't directed at you. Because if someone dares to use a single dirty word toward you, out of sheer helplessness against your arrogance, then—boom—you get a partial ban!
So, listen up, moderators: you aren't better than anyone else, you aren't special, and you aren't protected like polar bears. Your egos aren't bigger than anyone else's on this site. An insult aimed at you isn't somehow "heavier" than an insult aimed at any other user. If you wouldn't want to hear a certain phrase directed at your own face, that should be enough for you to decide if it's an insult or not...
So, Tyler Vaughn7, if you're having trouble judging, just imagine someone looking you in the eye and saying, "Tyler Vaughn7, you're a total jerk..." and then decide for yourself if that deserves a penalty or not...👍
As for everything else, it's on you. You're the ones responsible for allowing this filth on the sub-forum, because you encourage this style of communication and basically coddle its biggest supporters...
Since we already kicked off a thread like this once, I can't help but wonder what's going on with this specific post?
Is anyone actually allowed to reply to this, and if so, could someone please walk me through how? Also, is using "Osica" still considered breaking the forum rules?
I honestly think moderation should be about sticking to the facts rather than letting feelings or personal biases take over. That’s the whole point of having mods in the first place. That’s why I’m asking for some clarity on these issues, and I've laid out all my arguments too.
I feel like I have every right to ask for an explanation...
So, can someone please explain why Scott Miller5's insults are being tolerated all day long?
And how am I supposed to handle this if I can't even defend myself without getting banned, while nobody seems to do anything about the reports I submit...
Richard Nelson84 said:There’s nothing weird about those warnings. You earned them. You actually got 60 points from me total, not 70.
Well, funny how you seem to have forgotten that Maria Johnson also got 60 points from me too...
Osica isn't an insult, and you didn't get a warning for being offensive. I don't see any insults in any of these posts...
So you're saying I deserved a warning just because I wrote "Hannah Osica," but then you claim it wasn't an insult? I got flagged for breaking forum rules. Can you actually tell me which rules I broke and what I did that others aren't doing, since I'm apparently headed for a ban?...
And isn't this also a violation of the rules?
I had two choices—either warn everyone (including you, Daria, and Scott Miller5) or just put out a warning for everyone to stop bickering in the thread. I went with the second option because I didn't think anyone crossed the line yet. But for the final call, just wait for the moderator or the admin to make the ultimate decision...
.
Fine, so now please just point out exactly which rule I violated during this discussion? I clearly pointed out the offensive posts here, so could you just show me one of mine that actually breaks the rules or counts as an insult and deserves a warning?...
Richard Nelson84 said:If that's how you feel, then put together a formal complaint backed by actual examples so the admin or the mod team can take a look. Just making random claims like this isn't going to get us anywhere...
I don't have an issue with that. I just showed you exactly what I'm talking about...
As far as I remember, you hit me with two strikes back-to-back last week because of what I wrote in that thread (and weirdly enough, both were about Hannah, who's right here):
"Hannah Osica"
"Hannah Jealousy"
That cost me 70 points total before I got banned for commenting on the moderation, which I can live with...
Now I'll list some other examples. We could start with Scott Miller5's insults, or are you trying to tell me it's somehow less offensive than calling someone this:
I don't mind addressing these nonsense claims, but either stay out of it or actually act like a real moderator...
Richard Nelson84, you're missing the mark here. You aren't being objective at all when it comes to handing out bans.
Specifically, you told me personally to report insults instead of responding myself. But not a single report I’ve ever filed has actually resulted in a ban or even a warning.
I honestly think your role here needs a serious second look. The other mods are way more fair; if something happens, they just penalize everyone involved and nobody complains, even if it feels a bit harsh sometimes. But you? You openly target specific people and show this blatant bias. It makes the people you pick on look like the troublemakers just because they're standing up for themselves... which isn't even true.
I don't recall you ever once replying to a DM asking why someone got banned, whereas the other mods communicate in such a polite, civil way and always give an answer.
And this thread was actually great, so I have no clue why you shut it down...
Jason Brown5 said:The rules state this thread won't be used to insult other users or start rumors about clones.
They're pretty straightforward, short, and final. They apply to you just like everyone else.
I don't get how asking what to think about forum user Nicole Vaughn70 and Bosančeros counts as an insult. Then a moderator jumps in telling me to follow the rules...
There's a similar thread on Reddit where nobody ever gets told to "follow the rules" for saying something like that.
Can someone explain this to me? Which rule am I breaking, and how is this an insult?
As for the clone stuff, almost everyone down there talks about them; we're all basically clones at this point. Hannah Mitchell4 was just asking what that actually means. Is someone going to get a warning just for mentioning Misterium and Sarah?
I don't need a moderator teaching me how to talk to people. That's more about my own upbringing and manners, so you don't need to worry about me...
Nicole Vaughn70 said:sister, look at this you're posting on a forum that actually has rules whether I personally like all those rules khmmmm, I guess I'd say no but that's my issue, not the forum's issue honestly, I'm just dim, so it all makes sense to me
What rules are we even talking about in the "what to think about forum user" thread on that PDF called off? Hey, it's the "what to think about forum user" thread, not some political debate about military intervention in Syria! What are you even on about? 🙏
Don't play games, Nicole, seriously... I'm telling you this as a friend, man to man... it's just... 👍
