Where is PowerLock? in Feedback & Suggestions ·
So, the SOA actually hauled him in just for expressing some right-wing views on the forum—can you believe that?—but now that the Republican Party is back in power, suddenly he’s being let go. I guess everything is fine again, right? 🍿

Kimberly White63 said:I spend half my day scrubbing posts from that crowd, but the second I close my eyes, they just flood back in. Honestly, maybe we should start working in shifts at this rate.

There’s actually an easier way to handle this.
You’ve got "tools" for that. 😉
What's going on with Reddit? What's the deal? in Feedback & Suggestions ·
It’s been a long time—way too long, actually—since I really started hanging out on Reddit again, and honestly, ever since my dad passed away back in 2010, I’ve been drifting in and out... but looking at things now, I can’t help but feel like something is just... off.
I see it every single day; the number of active users hasn't budged since 2006, which is basically when I first signed up. It’s like we're stuck in amber or something.

So, I wanted to ask—what do you guys think needs to change? What would it take to fix this, to shake things up, and maybe bring back that legendary status Reddit used to have back in its prime?

Please, throw out your suggestions or even some critiques—and hey, don't worry, I don't always take criticism as a personal attack, I promise.

Thanks.

Man, I was thinking the exact same way when I was twenty-one. I spent all my time buried in philosophy books, arguing about 🤣 and whatnot—just endless, circular debates.
But honestly? All of that just fades away.
Eventually, you find a girl, you get married, there’s kids, then life hits you with different kinds of headaches—work stress, maybe even dealing with a partner being unfaithful (or maybe you're just being paranoid and jealous, who knows?) 😉... all that stuff, and all those "huge" problems you're obsessing over right now? They just pop like a soap bubble.

They’re all out on vacation right now—which is just great, isn't it?—so there aren't enough admins on deck to actually deal with your situation, even though I'm pretty sure your case is 😉totally unique, if not a complete outlier

Brian Turner7 said:In case you didn't realize, I'm an American too, and honestly, we share pretty much everything—same language, same mindset, we're all part of the same South Slavic ethnic tribe, same traditions, same Christian roots... everything. It's all there, but some idiots just refuse to see it.

The thing is, there are different kinds of "Americans."

You've got those people who just claim the label because of where they happen to live, and then you have the real Americans—the ones who actually love this country, its customs, its culture, and its people, while still maintaining respect for everyone else.

"Protect our own, but we don't want what isn't ours"

😂
David Parker3 said:Honestly, we don't have anything in common, except for the fact that you guys were forced to speak American back in 1868. What you call the North America, my people just call a total disaster zone. But hey, don't sweat it! If you could somehow team up with Canada, Herzeg-Canada, and the American Federation along with Albania, Mexico, Greece, Turkey, and Bulgaria, you’d actually be doing pretty well for yourselves. Plus, since you're already so similar in everything you mentioned, if everyone actually learned how to work together, you'd have a much easier time milking social welfare from the European Union. You could even make Preslav your capital again, just like the good old days—and maybe the Rom would finally get their own state where they'd actually be considered a founding nation. The potential there is huge, from reclaiming Byzantine glory to just lining your pockets. 👍

Here are 11 Thumbs Up for you, since the system won't let me post more than 10. 😬

Seriously, legend, what a post.

I might even put this in my signature if you'll let me.

Oh, please—so I guess all those amateur moderators just swarm around them like they're Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo, right?!

And honestly, if they've really been HERE that long, you'd think they would've been promoted to admins by now, wouldn't you?

I'm curious—who here has been holding down some kind of moderator or admin role for the longest stretch without any breaks?

Actually, you know what, I guess it could include breaks, as long as we're talking about the longest overall tenure?

And obviously, I don't mean the owner of Reddit


Is it ego, hollowtrucker77, AxMi... maybe someone else?

If I actually find some guy attractive—like, genuinely, honestly appealing—then obviously I’m going to suggest him for a moderator position 🥳
Epignosis corruption scandal; John Doe's criminal enterprise in Feedback & Suggestions ·
steelskipper5 said:Look, if what I said is actually against the rules, then I’m assuming it’s just as illegal to call CNN, Duke Energy, or Amtrak corrupt outfits—or to label some political party a criminal organization, which is a phrase you see popping up on this site all the time. Or at least it used to be, anyway... I haven't been keeping super close tabs on things lately.

Fine. If my comment really was such a massive violation, then whatever.
But you, Epignosis, should probably realize that your own statement was straight-up hate speech and honestly deserved a 500-point penalty or even a police report.

Ah, right, because objective rules don't actually exist on our little forum, apparently.

Look, legally speaking, you aren't allowed to call anyone corrupt; whether it's the Church, a corporation, or an individual.
I mean, sure, you *can* say it, but if you make a claim like that, it's actionable—you'd have to produce actual evidence for those assertions, otherwise, it's straight-up libel and you could easily find yourself facing a lawsuit. 😁

As for your signature? To me, that part where you suggest the Pope should be arrested... well, that's hate speech.
One could argue "that" is just a joking signature, but—given how well I know your body of work and your whole #modus operandi# regarding Religion—I know you actually mean it. 😛

And you, Roger Barrett2, ought to know damn well that your statement was blatant hate speech and should have earned 500 points and/or a formal report.

See, I don't see anything controversial in his statement whatsoever, and it certainly didn't deserve a penalty from Brenda Cook4.
What's more, she couldn't even figure out how to phrase the penalty, so she ended up writing this entire long-winded essay as an explanation. 😂

Sorry for jumping in here, but I'm a bit bored, just got back from a swim and all that. 😬

Chill out for a second, seriously!

The collective bargaining agreement still hasn't even been settled yet—so, honestly, I have no clue what kind of rights you're actually going to end up with.

As for sex? As long as everyone's having a good time, who cares? 😍

Man, we're all just hanging out here for more than 7 hours a day now. Is this really what we've become? 😳

And you seriously don't know the name of a single decent forum like that? 😢 Get lost, JoWo. 😁

I see. 😍

If you're trying to be a narcissist, I see it. You're acting greasy, and honestly? You've become irritating. 😁

They don't need to edit posts, take action, or even hang around the forum. The only thing they actually have to do is die. 🙄 Issa, I'm talking about established practice here.

Unlike a bunch of amateurs, my off topic posts are actually interesting. 🙂

Yeah, and maybe you should spend less time psychoanalyzing everyone and more time actually studying basic grammar.

And it's "they don't have to die," by the way.☕

Sale, old man, lock this chat thread already.

btw:

On that one smart post of mine, nobody's saying a word, but here? It's nothing but... khm... khm...

Roger Robinson682 said:Can someone please explain what this bolded part means???? He said my application might fail because I have no clue what this refers to................

That’s just moderator slang—designed specifically so the average Reddit user won't understand them 🤣

reddriver35 said:Generally speaking, using a second color is pointless to me. But when that second color is some nauseating yellowish-orange, then it’s just irritating. Red is 😱

I guess those people who need everything color-coded also feel the urge to paint over the letters themselves, but why bother? 😕

well, I actually think it's great.

I mean, if those "painted" people have to color everything, why bother coloring the letters? What's the point? 😕


just because I'm a narcissistic, slimy cynic, I guess.

and your post is off topic (though, fair enough, mine probably is too)

--those "painted" folks don't need to color their posts, where on earth did you get that idea?

I honestly think hiddensailor14 meets—and probably even exceeds—all the requirements, so I’m officially throwing his name forward as a moderator for the Alternative Medicine subforum.

The guy knows just about every type of bioenergetic healing out there, and—not to sound too biased—but he’s actually quite well-known for his abilities as a psychic.
Why are the hate speech criteria on forum.hr so inconsistent? in Feedback & Suggestions ·
rowdyhawk10 said:I’d like to pose a question to the administrator, Sasha. Honestly, as a Muslim, I feel incredibly defeated by the unequal standards applied here on this forum—which occasionally bleeds into the religion subforum (though it isn't just limited to that one!). When you compare how hate speech is handled against others versus how it's handled toward Muslims, there's a clear double standard in how different moderators evaluate things across various sections.

Look, rowdyhawk10, since I used to be a moderator over in the religion section of this forum, I think I have one thing to tell you.
We all fall prey to our own ego-driven subjectivity from time to time—usually without even realizing it—but hey, what can you do? We're only human, after all.

Sometimes, I actually enjoy messing around using one of my alt accounts, just to see how the moderators treat "me"—especially since they have no clue it's actually ME, the guy who already has a few strikes on his record.

Here is one specific instance—and it was pretty uncomfortable, I might add—that I experienced because of you:

There was this one thread where some atheists were getting a bit carried away and started posting these derogatory images of Jesus—you know, stuff like "Jesus Christ as part of the Santa Claus organization," or "Jesus holding a vending machine," and everything seemed fine: nobody got a single strike.

I get Ego's reaction—he's a declared atheist, so he didn't care about those images—but you didn't react either, and for someone who treats religion as a core life value, you really should have had much stronger feelings when it comes to matters of faith.

So, I logged into my clone account and posted one of those "blasphemous" caricatures of Allah, featuring a bomb on his head.

And wouldn't you know it, here is what happened:

The moderator, rowdyhawk10, immediately slapped me with 45 points, and the post was wiped instantly to hide that "eyesore," yet those insulting pictures of Jesus were still left there to amuse the Catholic masses.

At the end of the day, we're all just human under the skin...
Blatant religious insults on Reddit in Feedback & Suggestions ·
steelskipper5 said:It shouldn't be all that difficult—honestly—if you're actually telling the truth. And if things aren't working out, just have the decency to admit you were lying.

Oh, honey!

Don't get so hung up on every single little word and what it supposedly means. 😁

Because, if you look closely at your own post, there’s some straight-up hate speech right there:

"besides, I think we should arrest the Pope"

What kind of logic is that!?

Is that supposed to be a message of love!?

I mean, seriously, how do you think a person of faith feels when they stumble upon a post like yours?

Btw: that provocative cynicism of yours? The mods have seen it all before—they've been dealing with it since your old handle back in 2002.😉
Blatant religious insults on Reddit in Feedback & Suggestions ·
steelskipper5 said:And then you start running into these unsanctioned comments—you know, the kind where people just lash out and say things like, "they're sick" or whatever—which is basically just a straight-up insult because... It’s basically a de facto situation—though I suppose calling it anything else would be a stretch, wouldn't it? It just... it exists. Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, that's the reality on the ground. It’s either that... or some people just want to say, “Throw them all onto Manhattan and let them breed there.”

Legally speaking—if we’re being strictly technical about how things stand on paper—it’s one thing. But anyone with half a brain knows that what's written in the books rarely matches the messy reality on the ground. I mean, sure, according to the law... but let's be real for a second. I mean, I feel like I can call them sick—honestly, if you’re going around every other post on the Religious Speech board writing about how much believers and the church gross you out, then I should be allowed to say that homosexuals gross me out and are just as sick. It’s only fair, I guess.

I was wondering—if you don't mind me jumping into this conversation—whether anyone has some solid examples of a strong thesis statement?
