Casey Bennett said:@Amy Rogers6
You’re still drawing the wrong conclusions because you clearly don't understand the subject matter you're discussing. This is about how moderation works on this Reddit, the level of autonomy moderators have in their roles, and why some people choose not to comment on those COVID PDF files.
Yet, you're so incredibly set in your ways that nothing written here will ever sway your perspective—something you've proven repeatedly—so attempting any further explanation would be a complete waste of time. I have no patience for futile tasks or for people who make conversation impossible simply because they refuse to listen. They just don't want to hear the truth.

Look, you're just shouting into the void—I don't even know why—everyone can see you're just talking to yourself. The issue is this clone moderator who's going to handle the COVID PDF from now on. That clone is also your boss, and he's using his original handle, Anderlon, which he's already used in this thread. Now they're spinning the whole thing as "increasing objectivity." I don't get what part isn't clicking for you—do I need to draw you a map or something?div>

Casey Bennett said:Come on, Amy Rogers, please tell me exactly how this new/old mod pushed the COVID narrative?
Did they hand out bans? Did they delete on-topic posts? What exactly did they do? I am genuinely curious.

Furthermore, I can't see deleted posts because I'm not a moderator there. And I know you won't believe me, because based on everything, you've already decided that all mods are lying and serving some secret agenda known only to you, but I can't even see an IP address. Even if I could, it wouldn't do me any good because IP addresses change every 24 hours anyway. Not to mention VPNs, Tor, and all that.
In short, I have no idea who you are, what you do, or where you are in real life, nor do I care one bit.

What bothers me is precisely the rhetoric you're using in this post, and not just you. You've all memorized these silly phrases, deeply convinced that anyone who isn't against vaccines or believes in a global conspiracy isn't a "loyal soldier" following the narrative. Oh, my dear, you certainly are. You are absolutely following it.

Contrary to those conspiracy theories you love so much, no one here moderates on orders; we moderate according to the Reddit rules that are available to everyone. We are all volunteers doing what our own consciences dictate. The fact that some of us hold opinions diametrically opposed to yours and your group's is simply our right.

Let me address the stuff I didn't bold first, since that part is basically irrelevant.

Look, I’m not saying all the mods are liars or straight out of hell—I actually talk to a few of them (a tiny handful, anyway). But honestly? For about 90% of them, I can tell you they hold views that are the polar opposite of mine. It’s not about that, though. It’s about their approach, how they carry themselves, and their consistency—all the stuff that actually makes someone a decent moderator. That’s why I respect them. Usually, when I get hit with a warning, I don't go making a scene in public; I just handle it via PM, even if the messages get heated. And if I realize I actually messed up? I’ll be the first to own it and tell them directly in a PM.

Let’s talk about the moderation here—you guys are following the script to a T. Whether you actually agree with the narrative or not doesn't seem to matter. If you don't toe the line during a crisis like this (and let’s be real, this is the most serious situation this site has ever seen), you either quit or get booted. The fact that hardly anyone has stepped down and almost nobody has been kicked out tells me everything I need to know. It means the mods who don't buy into the narrative are just keeping their mouths shut. There is zero chance that all of you—or even 95% of you—actually share the exact same opinion on this. It's impossible. It just means the official policy coming from the top is so dominant that it drowns everyone else out, including the silent ones. You aren't just "enforcers"; you're split between soldiers and people just bending over to stay in power.

Look, what's getting on your nerves right now is totally irrelevant—you're missing the point entirely. That's not where the real issue lies. The actual problem is the pressure, the tunnel vision, the secrecy, the clones, all those petty little tricks, and how they keep catering to the trolls trying to kill this thread (though they’re failing miserably so far, and honestly, they’re in for a rough winter). Now, let's get to the core of the matter that I bolded for you.

By jumping in immediately when Anderlon popped up under a clone account (which, for the record, I didn't even realize was him at first), I basically stopped the Pilate-style washing of hands from happening in silence. If I hadn't, some new "divine" mod would’ve been dropped out of nowhere with a measly 20 posts, acting like they have the authority to dispense justice—or more likely, just tighten the grip on the subforum. Why is he even here using a clone? Isn't that a direct violation of the very rules he set? The rules clearly state you can't post under both your original handle and a clone within the same thread or subforum. If he thinks he can just ignore his own regulations, then the rules don't actually exist; they're completely unenforceable. At the end of the day, the whole situation is just immoral, petty, and nothing more than cheap trickery.

These aren't actual issues, Casey Bennett, they're just fairy tales—the usual "you did this," "you think that," "we aren't like this, we're free" nonsense. It’s all just mindless babbling from Casey Bennett. Is all you can do is talk? The real question is: what is the boss doing by acting like a clone moderator on this thread? If you can't answer that, then don't bother answering at all. Anderlon can just ignore everything I post anyway. Since he already trampled over the rules regarding clones and main accounts on this thread, it clearly means the rules don't apply to him. No rules whatsoever. He could slap me with a warning right now for no reason, he could ban me, he could even permaban me—he can do whatever he wants. Fine. But at least we’ll finally define and cement exactly what kind of platform this really is....☕

Morgan Peterson said:I must admit, I am somewhat perplexed—what kind of tyranny is being exerted by the moderation team and this new moderator over all of you?
From what I can gather, and based on my acquaintance with this group, if Peter were to be appointed as a moderator, you would undoubtedly find some reason to grumble.
It was explicitly stated that we require assistance; the PDF is massive and incredibly taxing to moderate while we navigate these current and acute phases of the pandemic, so it was only a matter of time before extra help was added to the moderation staff.
The fact that the new moderator remains entirely anonymous should not trouble you, as the rules applied to them are identical to those applied to us veterans.
Do not insult, do not comment on the moderation within the PDF, and rather than engaging with controversial posts, simply report them.
Simple as that.

If you didn't get it, then you clearly have an issue with metaphors, subtext, or just basic abstract thinking.

Your generic post about needing help for the mods and how "great" it is that the boss showed up as a clone really highlights your inability to grasp the actual problem... maybe you're actually responsible for this brilliant "clone idea"—since you were busy making a mess of the thread a few days ago, causing the boss to send a PZK guy to warn you and drag you to a report. We all read that disaster—you think nobody noticed the chaos and the call to report?

Anyway, I don't care about your problems. I hate how you're handling them (it's bottom-tier behavior), and I believe I have every right to complain. As the owner, Anderlon has absolute power to just ignore my grievance, right? It's clearly not an issue for you, Andrew, or Casey Bennett—apparently, only Amy Rogers has a problem with it. Just constant whining again, huh? 😁

Honestly, seeing how you all jumped to defend the boss without even thinking about the core issue is just adorable. First Andrew, then Casey Bennett, now you—I could practically write a sociological study on the order of operations here. Actually, the study writes itself.

So, who's next in line to play soldier? Let's hear another litany about how everything is following the rules, how everything is perfect, and how there aren't any issues. If that were true, this "new moderator" wouldn't have shown up looking like a clone...☕

Casey Bennett said:I’ve been reading through what people are posting on this subreddit and within this specific thread. As for that COVID PDF, I couldn't care less about how much dirt is buried under those fingernails; I left a few comments over there only because I followed a link posted here on this forum.

Naturally, I had to poke fun at a user who’s been lurking here for years with an impressive post count, yet somehow acts like they're hearing the rules for the very first time regarding not commenting on moderation in these threads.
Then, of course, he goes ahead and critiques the mods, only to come storming back to this PDF post all hysterical and terrified because his comment was deleted. Give me a break.

To actually form an opinion about someone, you have to observe their behavior and listen to the stances held by that individual or group. So, tell me: what kind of impression would an outsider get of the author of this thread based solely on the title and the content of the very first post? Just that—there's no need to dig any deeper into the thread.

And no, what you quoted above wasn't some subtle mockery. On the contrary, I was being anything but subtle.

I am not being hysterical at all—if you actually read with comprehension, you'd realize that yourself. It’s not even about commenting on moderation or following rules... the issue is that your boss is showing up under a clone account to further push this COVID PDF—he's obviously worried, and clearly thought nobody would find it suspicious that a mod suddenly drops in with only 20 posts. The real problem is that you guys don't see the issue. Your hive mind (well, part of the mod team, since one part doesn't exactly follow the narrative) is creepy and pathetic. You're discrediting yourselves and turning serious topics into a total circus—and your moderation has reached new lows with these mod clones, all while preaching about "objectivity." 🤣🤣🤣

You're avoiding the whole point—why? You need to answer that for yourself. Is it because you're a loyal soldier for the system? Is it because you actually believe the narrative? Or is it because you genuinely don't understand anything? Whatever the reason, it doesn't justify this style of moderation or these petty tricks of hiding behind clones. What's the goal? Why is the boss afraid to delete posts or hand out bans using his actual username? Doesn't he trust you guys to do the job?

Those are the questions, Modesty. And all you're doing is telling me to quote you—it's just babbling!!!! Basically—blah, blah. And yet you have such an enviable post count and such an enviable tenure as a mod, but instead of fixing things, you're trying to turn this place into a joke. Pathetic, isn't it???

Grace Edwards said:I guess, are the moderators allowed to troll us under this whole "new normal" thing?

looks like it...☕

Casey Bennett said:So many words, yet so little sense or logic to be found. 🤷

It’s all good, Modesty. This is basically the ultimate response... just sit tight for five minutes. 😁

But seriously, do you have anything actual to say about the topic? The whole point is that the boss is hiding behind clones just to tighten his grip on the corona sub-forum—and he's not just targeting the users, we aren't even the main target in this little mission...☕

Casey Bennett said:Unless the person behind the anonymous "Amy Rogers6" profile is actually a different real-life individual who just hijacked the account from someone who joined the forum yesterday—which would explain that quoted snippet—the alternative is that someone with a massive amount of forum seniority and history suddenly has absolutely no clue about basic forum rules or standard etiquette.

So, let me get this straight: in order to ask about a new moderator on the PZK, one must first post something off-topic on a more strictly moderated subforum, wait for that post to inevitably be deleted without any penalty, and then swoop in here fueled by pure hysteria, which is clearly evident from both the thread title and the opening posts you've left?

You little fish 🙂

"honey, both you and I know you can see my IP address (just like everyone else on this forum), and you probably know my info too, so this attempt to discredit me is just pathetic... you were so desperate to clean up after the boss that you ended up embarrassing yourself" 🤦 — this is exactly why you guys look even worse. Even the boss is going to find this mindless response to what I wrote annoying; instead of helping him out through blind loyalty, you're just creating a bigger mess (that's what happens when you write with pure emotion instead of thinking—don't worry, I'll comfort you, nobody's immune to it). Why do you think I became more active in that subforum? Because the moderation is a disaster. They aren't capable of hitting their goals without causing chaos until the goals themselves become irrelevant. It's not that I don't understand the boss (unlike you, who thinks you get it but clearly doesn't)—what I pointed out is that his method of using clones is a total fail, and I am 100% right on that. I trust that, unlike you, people will actually grasp what I said (whether they agree or not).

And at the end of the day, you are completely off-topic. As a moderator, you should at least be able to follow the basic outline of a thread. I have no idea where you studied forum logic (maybe a chicken coop?), but this kind of trolling that has nothing to do with the actual issue is bottom-tier behavior. You'd better hold back on any further comments if you aren't capable of writing something that actually relates to the topic....

Best,
Amy Rogers6 😁

bluelynx52 said:Of course bluelynx52 is a clone. I can't tell you who's pulling the strings, and honestly, it doesn't matter. More than one person has been using him so far, and that’s how it’ll stay.

Why couldn't some random stranger be a moderator—and a good one at that? You probably realize there's a massive conflict of interest when a regular user jumps into a mod role. Everyone already knows his biases and how skewed his views are. He’s just as predictable in discussions as he is in moderating. A mod like that shouldn't be allowed to both participate and moderate. That's why it's actually great if the new mod is truly a newcomer. Someone without baggage. Or at least, someone you don't know yet. 🙂 And if you eventually figure them out, bluelynx52 will probably have moved on to being someone else by then.

Judging by how fast you jumped to conclusions based on just one neutral post, you're either incredibly perceptive or you just walk into every Reddit thread expecting the worst. I wouldn't call you perceptive, though. You should've known your off-topic post was going to get nuked. That isn't tyranny. It's just the rules.

You've got no reason to assume I won't be an awesome moderator who might actually surprise you. While you're busy holding onto your prejudices, I'll just be focusing on what you actually write moving forward. 🙂

I had no idea the mods were already using those tools—cloning mods and everything. Now that I’m looking at it, my eyes are actually burning...

Regarding this idea that an anonymous moderator can actually be good because their anonymity supposedly eliminates bias—first off, let me stop you right there. An anonymous mod isn't a "good" mod. They don't bring stability, clear rules, or any sense of accountability to the table; instead, they just breed suspicion and distrust. If you think I’m wrong, go ahead and ask anyone outside your little moderator circle what they actually think. That'll give you the real picture. As for this whole "objective" thing? That cloak of anonymity disappears the second the first warnings and bans start flying.

Being a good moderator isn't about hiding behind anonymity; it’s about having the guts to step back from your own biases and try to steer the conversation without being heavy-handed. That takes actual work, which is why decent mods are hard to find—you can see that on Reddit, too. They might be rare, but they have distinct personalities and viewpoints, which lets the users actually build a rapport with them. Honestly, understanding those basic traits is crucial. What you're doing right now is a terrible move—trying to implement some "matrix" system that's never going to work. It just looks like you're chasing total control over the sub because you don't trust your own people.

Honestly, out of everyone here, you’re the one who should be most dialed in on the basic rules of moderation. You were basically one of the pioneers of this whole Reddit culture back in the day, so it’s pretty weird that you seem so clueless about it now—it’s like you’ve completely lost your compass. At this rate, it'll just be a case of "even a broken clock is right twice a day." But hey, whatever, have it your way.

Regarding my intuition—honestly, it all turned out to be pretty shallow. I was actually expecting you to surprise me. Instead, I post my critique about this whole moderator clone situation, only to have it deleted with some "off-topic" excuse. That just gave me the perfect opening to head over to the PZK Reddit and start this thread, which is perfectly on-topic for this sub—exactly what I was aiming for. In the end, you’re left with a chance to hear the criticism, but if you delete it, you're basically scoring an own goal while the moderator clone issue just keeps festering.

Honestly, if you actually wanted to surprise me, you'd have to react differently than how this whole mess is playing out...

And what about that last sentence—what are we even supposed to make of it? How should we take it? It reads like a veiled threat, though let’s be real, it’s barely even veiled; it’s just poorly disguised under this fake layer of objectivity. That’s an absolute self-inflicted wound right there. It shows that when you run out of actual things to say, you just resort to pulling rank. That’s definitely not the mark of smart behavior on a Reddit thread, nor is it how real politics works—you see that kind of nonsense all the time in our daily political scene here in the States....

But hey, if you think you look cool doing it, then I guess it was worth it—regardless of the damage caused...☕

Larry Walker24 said:nick has been registered since 2003

So? What am I supposed to say to that? This site was founded back in late 2002, right? Does that mean Anderlon is actually hiding behind this handle? Because if that's true, his best bet is to crawl into a basement and stay there for at least a year...☕

What an absolute joke. 🤦🤦🤦

driftingstag84 said:Brava Mrs. Hilderik, you just put Anderlon on the Ignore list 🤣
He only has 20 posts. This isn't like you.

Am I the bad guy here for pointing out how he's turning this whole Reddit into a total joke? Maybe he should go hit up Wikipedia to look up what a "travesty" actually is—maybe then he'll grow up. This place is absolute bottom-of-the-barrel garbage right now. He probably thinks he's being hilarious.🤷

Seriously, what even is this? How low can we go? Some new moderator just popped up on the COVID subreddit under the name bluelynx52—this guy has, what, twenty posts total, and he’s claiming to be a mod???????????? Who in their right mind makes someone a moderator with only twenty posts??? It’s obvious he’s lying and hiding who he really is—he’s clearly some clone of one of the mods, or an admin, or maybe even the forum owner... What kind of games are being played here??? What is actually happening to you people??? You’ve completely lost the plot. This is rock bottom... absolutely bottom of the barrel.😵😵😵

The absolute peak of this nonsense is that the guy introduced himself as a new moderator in that thread about Sprajc and Bakic that he started. So, naturally, I asked him the exact same questions I'm asking here—who is he and whose clone is he? The result? The guy just deleted my post, claiming off-topic threads get nuked... Unbelievable.🤣🤣🤣🤣

bluecyclist64 said:Can we please stop moving my posts over to Off topic? My crew from the World PDF group keeps calling me over there—they're all decent, polite people, just like me.🙂

How polite of you... one little bit of pressure and you're already doing ballet.😁

Rough times, I'd add...☕

Shout out to redbluecyclist64, who’s looking even redder than the October Revolution (and honestly, about as bright as a broken lightbulb, if you ask me 😁) — it's high time we had at least one unapologetic communist on the off topic board, since you guys act so damn righteous...☕

Casey Bennett said:Look, all that matters is that you (and everyone else) have a new scapegoat to blame while you jump through hoops before anything even happens.
No, Andrew didn't close the thread.

Honestly, who closed the thread is irrelevant. What matters is that you guys just shut things down without explaining why—it’s becoming a real habit lately. Can we actually get some info on what the issue is so we can avoid it next time? For starters, am I the problem here????☕

Charles Fox10 said:Not gonna happen.😬

We’ve been thinking about this for a while now—this thread on the Politics sub-forum has officially run its course. It’s turned into a little sandbox for a handful of users, and honestly, looking at the stats on bans and deleted posts, it’s clear this topic has reached its limit. Thanks to everyone for participating, though.

We have entire sections for this. For anything regarding the coronavirus, feel free to move over to the section. If you want to discuss the political connotation of the emergency measures or how they impact the US government, check out the threads on the US Government and the President .

Thanks again for joining the conversation.

This thread hasn't "run its course" by any stretch. We’re heading toward massive protests all across the US, and people aren't just taking to the streets for fun—you guys aren't stupid. You're intentionally shutting down a discussion that belongs under Politics because these are inherently political questions. And yeah, you're doing it in the spirit of pure censorship, probably out of fear or some backroom deal with the powers that be. I'll say it again: you aren't idiots, and you know exactly where this places you. You can only hope you picked the right side—or that you won't get caught regardless of how things play out—but that's not how the real world works. History is the teacher of life...☕

Hey bubi, I’m about to get my perm, but you already know that or you'll find out soon enough. Anyway, I'm taking this chance to reply to your post over at the chat room—yeah, Mexico looks just like some trashy pop act on steroids, kind of like Shakira performing at a tacky riverboat club—uninspired, outdated, God help us... just like 99% of the songs I've seen from Eurovision....

One thing actually caught me off guard in a good way: the Italians absolutely crushed it. People there just have a solid song and an energetic performance—they don't need the costumes or the heavy choreography.... They are in a league of their own, and honestly, I don't even get why they bother participating in this event which is basically pure kitsch and geopolitical porn (I've had enough seeing the Russians, who are forced into the finals but aren't allowed to win—regardless of how much the song sucks, and let's face it, it's a living nightmare—man, I love Brussels :))

Out of all this garbage, I'd highlight the Lithuanians, who actually had an original take on the whole "copy/paste" vibe. They're the only ones I'll remember for more than five seconds; not exactly my style, but it felt like a complete package....

I also checked out our local disaster—her performance looked like half her family had died right before she stepped out. No energy, no grit, zero expression. The choreographers totally ruined her, and with that outfit, she wouldn't even make it into a decent dive bar club—she looks like Tim Cook in that Koolind sketch, just missing the sword....

Obviously, the song didn't click for me, but I have to admit, if it had come out with that version (what the ignorant liberals call "vintage" nowadays) that smells like the late '30s or early '40s bossa nova/jazz, it would have left a much better impression. Even that red outfit had some weight to it, and the song sounds twenty times better that way.... And if it had come out in a raw, indie-pop/dance style, it would've been better; hell, if she had walked out naked and slammed into the mic, she still would've made a bigger impact—at least we would've heard her in the crowd and on TV....:)

So yeah, that's it. I'm sure Larry Allen34 would be happy with my analysis even if he 100% disagreed with me :)

Sending greetings through this final post—just to close this chapter properly. Maybe we'll run into each other on some other platform—you'll recognize me by my takes—they won't change one bit..... whatever happens, happens.

Peace,
Larry Allen34

rustydrifter10 said:I'm not laughing either.

Did you die from staring at the problem too hard? Because if so, just give me the perm, since I don't work with Nazis or play nice with them....

Gregory Turner71 said:Regarding that comment from some absolute moron threatening people's lives—here’s my take:

What exactly are you responding to?

Seriously, this isn't even funny anymore. Admins, you need to take a look at this and make a call.

Did you seriously delete that smiley at the end? Such a tiny detail, but it’s the only thing standing between actual sarcasm and you actually agreeing that this is the right way to go?????????????????????????????????????

Is this some kind of Goebbelsian school of thought??????

Yeah, let the admins take a look at the whole statement, including that tiny little detail you conveniently left out :D - though honestly, don't sweat it too much. They’ll back your version anyway; otherwise, they wouldn't have picked you to be a mod in the first place to support your total lack of objectivity. No biggie—feel free to ban me from the forum if it makes you feel better. I'm sure you'll sleep just fine once I'm gone...

Maybe the admins should actually bother reading the article. Then they might finally get my sarcasm regarding that sniper who spent days scouting an epidemiologist only to end up wandering off into the woods.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this whole thing is just some fake story...

Besides, I don't even know where you call home—but in America, we don't make "criminal" our catchphrase; we celebrate heroes. You could honestly go dig through the old message boards on some random forum; just yesterday I was posting about "dropping a bomb" on that whole circus surrounding Eurovision, basically telling people to kick that gang out of the competition. I bet if you were looking for a reason, you’d twist my words, take them completely out of context, and try to brand me a terrorist planning an attack on the show. If you had actually bothered to follow the threads on the pandemic stuff, you probably would've found more to nitpick, but you can't exactly predict that I'm going to argue for the legal system being the only way forward. I'm against murder, I'm against violent protests, and yeah, I'm against hate speech, censorship, and one-party thinking too. None of that shit leads to anything good. In my book, the courtroom is where things get settled—even when we're talking about crimes against humanity.

You didn't say a word when I asked the admins to look into that guy europe2soul—or whatever his handle is—denying the Nuremberg Code. You seem to be totally on board with his idea that the COVID vaccine isn't an experimental drug. But let’s get real: Pfizer, the manufacturer, and even the FDA!!!! all state right on their own websites that this is an experimental vaccine. Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) is absolutely NOT the same thing as full approval. It’s conditional authorization, plain and simple. This isn't some new phenomenon either; these vaccines aren't the first drugs in history to get rushed through via emergency protocols. There is a massive distinction there, and ignoring it is dangerous. Because these are experimental, they fall squarely under the Nuremberg Code. We have to follow the established protocols, and once the lawsuits start rolling in, that's exactly what's going to prove it.

So you managed to dig through the archives to find my post where I called out some guy for lying through his teeth? Real impressive. You took that one specific moment out of context just to slap me with 45 points and a four-month penalty. It’s pretty obvious what you're doing here—just building a paper trail so you can toss me into the trash whenever you feel like it. Honestly, I had to laugh at how calculated and shady that move was. To be clear: I don't give a damn about the points. But let’s get one thing straight: I'm not putting up with these pathetic insinuations that I'm spreading hate speech. This isn't even about the score anymore. I don't accept the point deduction, I don't accept the yellow card, and I sure as hell don't accept any threats about being kicked off this forum. Cut the crap.

It’s pretty simple, really. If I were looking to just shut up and take a lighter sentence, I’d have to admit to being some kind of hate speech peddler—and there is absolutely no way I’m doing that. I don't play ball with Nazis, I don't recognize their "system," and I sure as hell don't buy into official narratives. Not even when they come straight from the Department of Health, which, if you ask me, is pushing ideas that fly in the face of basic human decency and lean straight into totalitarianism.

It’s up to the admins now—you can hide behind them if you want and watch my little stunt unfold from the sidelines. This whole thing is a personal victory for me because it proves I won't bow down to totalitarian bullying. It also shows exactly what kind of ideas this forum actually tolerates (admins, feel free to set me straight if I'm wrong :D)

One more thing—a quick word to the admins: I’m not letting you guys wash your hands of this. Not this time. I am absolutely livid and I'm not backing down. There's zero room for compromise when it comes to totalitarianism or blackmail. Those are the exact anti-fascist stances you all love to brag about, but the second things get real, you vanish. You just follow whatever narrative is handed to you, and in the process, humanity and objectivity are the first things to die. In plain English: if you don't make a ruling the second my ban expires, I'm coming right back at you...

So, we might as well settle this now. We all know how this ends anyway......

Thanks in advance,
Larry Allen34

I’m asking for a formal review of the hate speech warning I just got slapped with by your moderator Gregory Turner71. I don't know the exact post number off the top of my head, but you won't have any trouble digging it up—it was in the conspiracy theory thread over on the COVID subforum, somewhere between pages 230 and 233. My post wasn't hate speech; it was pure sarcasm. Personally, I’m all for holding the people responsible for this pandemic accountable, but through the legal system—always through the courts. I advocate for justice on plenty of other issues too, but I never call for armed insurrection or killing people (which you can easily verify if you look at my post history). I don't see that as a solution, and I'm interested in solutions that don't involve bloodshed. So, I think this warning is completely baseless and is nothing more than a targeted crackdown by a moderator I've had issues with for a while now. I’ve dealt with all kinds of mods and taken my fair share of warnings, but I've never experienced anything like this. When it comes to being objective, this mod is about as reliable as a screen door on a submarine... but whatever, you put him in charge and he's clearly there for a reason, so you can't exactly wash your hands of this one.

I only want one thing: either wipe this bogus warning from my record or just give me a permanent ban and kick me off the forum for good.

I’m looking for a response from someone who actually has the backbone of rustydrifter10. As for everyone else, and especially Gregory Turner71, I don't care what they have to say.
