if you want, maybe I could give a little example: go join the US Marines, finish training, and try not to crack when they're screaming in your face and pushing you to the limit
that's only about three miserable months (and yeah, the NCOs have rules and they're always watching)
once that's done, come back and tell me that discipline isn't violence

Since Marines come out of that training in a "Semper Fi" mindset where they'd die for their country or their buddies, I guess you could say that discipline turns boys into men. It’s kind of like marriage, actually.

If we look at marriage that way, a spouse who can handle a bit of rough handling is basically learning how to actually live in a marriage (since there isn't much else left to consume in a marriage anyway), or rather, they accept that things won't always go their way because the relationship matters more than one bad moment. Everything I defended was just that.

Your example, if I can even call it that, is when you were defending a husband who hit his wife while drunk after she nagged him. That act is violence, no matter how you spin it.

To wrap this up—an officer being tough on someone is about building relationships based on reality, not fairy tales. So, you were defending chaos, while I'm talking about building something real.

And to end it—honestly, I think Carthage deserves to be destroyed. 😁

P.S. - the whole point of this complaint is to explain why you shouldn't use "nature" and God in the same sentence when expressing an opinion. I guess nobody has explained that to you yet.

hollowtrucker77 said:Anyone ever say stuff like, "just listen to what people are telling you"?

Yeah, I guess. Some people phrase it like this: we're all about democracy, but not if everyone gets to say whatever they want. 🙂

hollowtrucker77 said:you can count on me being right too, just like those cards of yours

Unfortunately, I know that—did the math pretty quick 👍 but there's that old saying, better to accept an injury than to commit one.

hollowtrucker77 said:Timothy Robinson2, do those two sentences actually mean different things to you?

In this case, yeah. His right to share an personal opinion is being weighed against the need for moderation. I guess the logic they use is if everyone has a right to their own view, then there's no need to moderate, but that isn't really true. Moderators should manage the flow of the conversation, not the actual viewpoints. For example:

Person A: I think certain groups are just uneducated.
Person B: You're an idiot, how can you even say that, you moron.

Person Person A shouldn't be punished because that's just their take, but Person B definitely should, because they aren't debating the point—they're just attacking Person A. Even if Person A is talking nonsense, it's still just their opinion, I guess.

I’m speaking up because this happens to me all the time. My views often differ from the norm on this forum, and then some moderator decides I'm a troll and hands out bans.

Like, if I say a stay-at-home mom's job isn't as hard as working at a place like ExxonMobil, I get banned. Or if I argue that spanking isn't abuse in one specific instance, I get banned. I appeal it, and of course, the appeal gets denied just to make things worse than the original topic I was even discussing—which, by the way, you were defending just like me. So, clearly, in my case, they weren't moderating the topic, they were moderating my opinion instead of the moderator's own bias.

It's happening to the thread starter now, too. He used a word naturally and, somehow, God help him, he got banned. Both Africa and Tyndall agreed about it later.

Chloe Green61 said:Saying that not wanting kids goes against God's laws isn't an opinion, it's just straight-up trolling.

So how is someone supposed to argue that such a view isn't natural? It makes it seem like you aren't allowed to have an opinion about what counts as natural. I guess the issue is that someone linked being "natural" directly to God.

Still, that's not really the point here. Even if there were no God, you could argue that nature itself is god(basically the physical, biological, and chemical laws governing us). Nature dictates our instincts, so if someone's instincts don't align with the majority, then they aren't "natural." That’s the logic behind why they got flagged. Or, if you want to use that aggressive liberal terminology, it's just a variation from the norm—a deviation from what's considered natural or divine. That's their stance.

If they had just said it's a variation from the norm that they personally disagree with, would that have been an acceptable way to express disagreement when a wife refuses to have children with her husband?

hollowtrucker77 said:so does that mean we don't need moderators??

We need them to moderate the discussion, but not personal opinions.

Larry Walker24 said:Maybe rustydrifter10 is actually a pretty decent moderator,

😱 I don't know, I wouldn't say that. 😱

Sandra Ward23 said:In that sense, I’ve decided I'm not going to sit around waiting for or begging for an apology—especially not from a nationalist-leaning moderator. I mean, at the end of the day, nobody can actually stop me from reading whatever I want anyway. ☕
Instead, I'm taking matters into my own hands and filing a complaint with the Jewish Community, both here in the States and over in the Netherlands.
It's for running an intolerant media outlet and suppressing the right to vote for someone whose views distance them from Gotovina and the crimes linked to (aside from the uglier parts) the liberating Operation >—someone who stands for fair trials, stripping the fascist label off of America, and respecting the victims of all three nationalities without exception. For forcing a single viewpoint. For being pro-fascist.

Do religious groups, like the Jewish Community, even have the authority to convict or exonerate people for war crimes?

It’s kind of like saying you’re going to report a priest to the state or international courts just because you heard him criticizing Ayatollah Homeini on the subway. It doesn't make sense.

And let's be clear: those former fascist states are the ones slapping fascist labels on America, using this tactic where they throw out a label and then don't have to explain anything to justify themselves.

Mexico and the Netherlands were also puppet states for Germany. The same goes for France, Belgium... As much as those countries fought fascism, Americans fought it too—actually, they stepped up even harder and earlier.

When you talk about labeling America as fascist, you're basically lying and siding with fascism, not some version of tolerance.

The same people who wanted Greater Mexico in the 90s wanted it during WWII through guys like Dragoljub Mihajlović, and they failed then just like the NDH failed. During the war for independence, America was defending itself against a resurgence of fascism left over from WWII. When you slap a fascist label on Americans, you're just acting as a tool for fascist propaganda trying to flip history on its head and manipulate people's emotions to benefit foreign interests.

America dismantled all the formations that resembled the NDH during the war, whereas from what I see, Mexico still claims Chetnikism is a form of anti-fascism—they even give them pensions.

America wasn't fighting for the idea of the NDH; America was fighting against the idea of Greater Mexico and for its own sovereignty, which had to be defended against the fascist ideology of Greater Mexico. So, in both wars, Americans fought against fascism, and by using your version of "tolerance" to invert reality, you're actually participating in the ambitions of those Great Mexican ideologists.

I don't think religion should be mostly about wearing your faith on your sleeve like that. If it becomes all about proselytizing, it just stops being a conversation. It’s just preaching at people, I guess.

Honestly, the posts that have nothing to do with the actual topic just bother me. It’s all just people taking cheap shots at someone else, and nobody ever does anything about it. I mean, maybe a ban is overkill, but they should at least delete the post. There are times when you see someone using certain terms to insult another user, and they just get away with it. No consequences. Nothing. Even after all those reports... nothing changes. I guess.:

• It's like I'm talking to some idiot who keeps making up things I never even said.
• Maybe you should learn how to quote text properly.
• Are you dyslexic or something?
• You’re seriously obsessed, man. I guess.
• Are you kidding me? Are you actually serious right now?
• I guess you'd have to be a special kind of idiot to think I'm talking about some conspiracy theory.
• Man, are you sick or something?
• I feel like I'm talking to an idiot.
• And now you’re trying to flip this all on me like some kind of idiot. I guess.
• God, what kind of idiots am I dealing with here?

Just for comparison, I wanted to throw out a few statements. They’re pretty one-dimensional. Maybe they make sense on their own, I guess, but compared to what was mentioned above? Not really.

• Look, you're just trying to get a rise out of me. Fine. If you want me to step away for a bit, I guess I can do that.
• Look, you might think I'm being malicious, but I'll try to explain my reasoning:
• You’re obviously pissed off about some priest or something, but honestly, you're being unfair.
• What does that even have to do with rational thinking?

When that guy complains, I think he’s mostly just fed up with how often it happens. You see these obvious atheists throwing insults left and right, and they just get away with it. It’s insulting, really. Sometimes even the mods get targeted, and yet somehow, their bans just end up getting lifted anyway. I guess that's just how it goes.

There are plenty of atheists out there. Honestly, they probably make up most of the population at this point. And they’re actually capable of having a conversation—using actual arguments instead of just trolling or throwing personal insults. I guess that's saying something.

Morgan Rodriguez57 said:The religion mod just messaged me saying my post was spam... I guess I should be glad they didn't just ban me outright... 🙏

Well, you have this: which Catholics should probably use.

Besides that, there are a few stickied threads for Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.

driftingwolf79 said:I have a question for everyone posting hate against Medin, and also for those who just click 'report post' without ever having the guts to say what they actually think about him publicly (not that you would, since this is a public Reddit, better to hide behind emails and backroom politics) — is it really that hard to accept that some people simply disagree with you?

To be clear, I’m not trying to defend him or act as his lawyer (especially seeing how people react to that here), but it’s obvious he got a Ban, followed by a permanent one, just because he annoyed a specific group of users. Not everyone. Just a few. And it's a stretch to call them the majority, regardless of how much some people try to insist otherwise.

As for how much he contributed to Recreation, the people who actually train know best. Those who just pretend to, never will understand. 🙂

And btw, Smizl, you've got guts. I respect 👍

I'd probably join in on that sentiment, too—just with one quick heads-up: you see this kind of stuff on other subreddits as well.

The guys on the Reddit thread who were being all polite and nice. With arguments. The good ones and the bad ones? Both are gone. Whoever’s left keeps getting banned, even when they’re just quoting stuff. Now, people are basically walking on eggshells, terrified to even use a pronoun or an adjective. It’s pathetic.

I don't really post much on any single subreddit anymore. I just lurk through most of them. It seems like every sub has just turned into one big, endless group chat lately. Just people swapping rumors and talking in circles. It’s all hearsay, I guess.

I get it—more posts mean more ad revenue. But if you ban everyone who actually contributes anything meaningful, you're just going to lose the core community that makes those posts happen in the first place. Without them, there's nothing left to sell ads against. I guess.

People rarely jump in to comment on someone else's ban. It usually only happens when the punishment is this extreme—you know, when the gap between what they did and the penalty is just obviously ridiculous. I guess another reason people feel the need to chime in is because the person who actually got banned isn't going to appeal. And it’s not even that they don't want to; it's more that they've learned from experience. They already know exactly what kind of response they'll get.

That’s not an issue with the Reddit thread, it’s just your own problem. I don't see why we should care about some random object that you've made your whole personality. If you can't handle a little mockery over something like a Hostess cupcake, maybe the internet just isn't for you.

If complaining about something like this just gets you mocked, I guess there's really no point in bothering to complain about anything less intense.

Of course, I don't even need to say it. When someone gets Banned and then goes and starts their own Reddit thread just to claim the mod wasn't acting in good faith, they get hit with another strike for trolling. I guess you aren't allowed to question a moderator on this platform.

The reason he got banned is pretty simple. You aren't supposed to tell someone on a Reddit thread that they don't need to bother responding to your posts when they're personally attacking you. I guess that's just how things work here.

As for whether that user actually got banned—look, that’s none of your business. I should probably clarify how this works: I don't just hand out bans the second someone gets insulting. If they've been pushing buttons for five posts straight, I might wait a bit. You can think whatever you want about why I did what I did.

Soory for veering off on this, but the title is kind of vague, so I figured I’d jump in. 🙂

wearyowl29 said:He didn't die—I mean, how can something that was never even born "die"?😉
And honestly, the whole idea people are trying to force down our throats is totally incompatible with reality. You're spot on there, 2kune.

So you're saying you deny Jesus exists at all? Like, he's just some historical figure and nothing more? I guess.

Harold Reyes3 said:Well, we'll just have to wait and see where Jesus feels most at home when He returns to Earth.

If He walks into a mosque, He’ll see people washing up before prayer just like He did, bowing down to God exactly like He did.

He’ll see Muslim women covered up, much like His own mother Mary was. They don't eat pork, they don't drink alcohol, and they fast just like He did.

Then He looks into a church and sees rows of chairs filled with elderly folks—grandmas and grandpas who practically have death notices sticking out of their pockets—singing hymns that only God knows who wrote. He glances at the walls and sees them plastered with portraits and statues of people, and we all know how strictly the Bible forbids having idols or images of men.

He’d be calling on God Allah just like Muslims do today, while some Christians are still clinging to those wall decorations.

So, tell me: where would He actually feel at home? In a mosque with the Muslims, or in a church where everyone is doing the exact opposite of what He practiced, while Muslims are still following His lead?

Anyway, long live the truth! We'll see. Personally, though, I wouldn't want to be around when Jesus makes His grand entrance.

I guess older people aren't allowed in mosques, and maybe singing is banned there too?

I mean, what would they say if Jesus said something like this:
look, for the sake of truth, you can believe the Gospels were lost or destroyed, but even in the Quran, it says I was conceived by a virgin, that I ascended to heaven in the flesh, and that my return is coming at the end of days. Why attach all those traits to me if I’m just one prophet among many? Even if I am the first among them, I don't need all those "extras." How did you not realize it was me?

Glad we had a quick chat about Rob-Roy and his ban. He’s actually a bigger deal here; he got flagged for just two replies to a direct attack. On a scale of aggression, he was at a 0.5 while his opponent was sitting at a 100.

Not trying to complain directly, but his ban played a huge part in why I'm writing this long-winded post. The whole point of my appeal is really about questionable calls—decisions made without looking at the context, whether they were good or bad.

Honestly, I think it’d be more important to explain to him exactly why they reacted that way toward him, rather than focusing on my post. I asked for a permanent ban as a protest, not out of some bitter anger (though I stand by everything I complained about, 70 points feels like overkill for my "trolling"). Regardless of if or when I get a response, I’m asking that they take another look at Rob-Roy’s posts and penalties.

Personally, I think those last few strikes should be wiped, and someone in admin should probably send him a DM to apologize.

Nicholas King said:Why can't people just forget about Reddit and their accounts and move on to some other corner of the internet? Why all this drama over demanding a permanent ban?

Because there are actual people behind those usernames.

If getting a permanent ban for whatever incomprehensible reason is such a big deal,

From what I can see, there aren't many left who complain about being permanently banned. I think it's worth asking, though. If someone spends forty-five seconds clicking through the right menus and knows exactly what they're doing—well, maybe they should consider why the person requesting the ban is angry. Maybe that person is partially right. And maybe, if someone stays stuck on the idea that something was simply wrong or inhumane, they might remember that there are real people behind these handles, not just IP addresses.

wouldn't it be more effective to go out in a blaze of glory with a few intense, suicidal posts? 😕

What, should they start swearing, insulting, or dragging people through the mud...

Roger Barrett2 said:And why on earth would you want a permanent ban? If it isn't a secret, I guess.

Sure, it’s no secret.

On the religion subreddit, I just ended up venting about myself. Here's the post:
I don't know. Maybe people just like feeling superior. I guess that’s why those threads on Reddit get so heated. Everyone wants to be the smartest person in the room, even when they have no clue what they're talking about. It's exhausting, honestly. Just constant noise.

I laid out what bugs me in that last post, but since I haven't been banned yet, I might as well write out the full "chronology of my annoyance."

Got my first warning because of this post:
I don't know. Maybe. It’s hard to say for sure without seeing how things actually play out on the ground. I guess there's always that possibility, but honestly, I wouldn't bet much on it. People like to jump to conclusions, but in my experience, it usually just ends up being more of the same. Just one of those things, I suppose.

The post itself could be seen as aggressive, I guess. But looking at the thread where it was originally posted, the first message said this: I don't know. Maybe I'm just being pessimistic, but it feels like we're all just circling the drain here. Every time someone brings up some big idea for change, it just ends up being more of the same corporate nonsense. It’s exhausting, honestly. I guess I should probably expect nothing more than disappointment at this point. Might be better to just tune out entirely.Look, this topic technically goes against the terms of service, if I'm being honest. But whatever. I’ll try to be as constructive as possible with this next post. I guess I don't see what the big deal is. Maybe people just like arguing for the sake of it. Honestly, I think most of this is just noise. It’s hard to tell who’s actually serious and who’s just trolling at this point. Just my two cents, I suppose.

I guess I’ve done my part for the thread. I'm sticking around just to see what actually happened to that guy's grandma. Meanwhile, here comes the next post: I don't know. Maybe. I guess people just like to complain about things that don't actually matter. It’s kind of always been like this, I suppose. Everyone has an opinion on everything, even when they clearly have no clue what they're talking about. Just noise, really. But besides that, there's this other deleted post I managed to save, which goes like this:

Give me a break. What exactly is it you're looking for here? Censorship? Some kind of way to kiss up to priests? I don't see how you get to lecture anyone about hate speech just because someone made a comparison. You're acting like they're nothing short of Nazis, the Taliban, or those North Korean communists. It's a bit much, I guess.
North Korea? She wasn't lying. Honestly, she hit the nail on the head. The elites just cruise around in luxury cars doing absolutely nothing. They live off the taxpayers and occupy the most expensive real estate in the country. I guess if you actually spent some time walking around the city and paying attention, you'd see exactly who they are.
Being a Catholic is enough. If you aren't? Well, that's on you. I guess those days are long gone.

People have every right to be pissed off. It’s one thing to disagree, but it's another to be that disrespectful to an old lady, especially when they’ve got everything handed to them on a silver platter. I guess it just shows how much some people lack basic decency.
Who even are they? Some kind of superpower? I guess it’s just sad that people around here haven't realized we actually live in a free country—one where the church isn't supposed to hold us all hostage.
What's going to happen when they start threatening us with hell?😂?

The text was bolded like that when it was posted, not because I wanted it to be. After that post went up, I made the comment that got me my first warning. Since I was new to the forum back then, I didn't really get how the appeals process worked, so I just sent a private message to the moderator who issued the strike. She never replied, so I figured I’d just let it go and move on. Meanwhile, the original author, north wind, didn't get any penalty at all—her post was just deleted without a single warning. Now she's accusing me of trolling.

I’ll probably be getting my next two strikes within two minutes. It's just pure trolling at this point. Everything went down on this thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/thread613333. I get my first warning at 5:17 PM and the second at 5:19 PM. It was such a short window I didn't even catch the first one, let alone the second. Because of those two, I'm banned for three
days—totally unnecessary, losing 70 points. First off, the initial warnings were private, and the posts weren't even deleted immediately, just later. Since they're gone now, I'll put them here:

Don't listen to these women. I know they'd rather wear leg casts than rings on their fingers; they'd rather change the whole country than just their last name or whatever.

That’s part of the post. It was clearly controversial, and on its own, it made sense. But given the context of the post below it, the thread title, and the fact that the moderator was actually participating in the discussion and could follow along, it can't be anything other than some kind of attack on me and what I was supporting in that thread. The moderator, Tupelo, asked me via that first warning not to label people. Here was the response from the person who supposedly felt labeled:

Umm.... Am I one of "those women" too? 😍

Because if so, you're doing a criminally bad job of interpreting what you read. 🙂

From that, it seems pretty obvious to me that she (Nica) clearly saw I was talking to her personally, and based on the emojis she used, I doubt she felt attacked. Two minutes after that, I confirmed to her that it *did*
apply to her, and I got another warning.

Again, 70 points in two minutes and a three-day ban over these posts.

The fourth warning was beyond anything. Not because I got it, but because of how it happened. I got it for posting images in this thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/thread616735. Earlier, some user posted a bunch of massive images in a row at 11:48 AM. No reaction from anyone. It sucks how one-sided this goes, so at 1:23 PM, I post my images. Then, weirdly enough, I get a warning at 4:52 PM while he gets his at 4:58 PM.

I get flagged before him, even though I posted my stuff two hours later. It’s obvious they were just punishing him too to compensate, since the bias was so blatant. That same user posts more images in the next post: http://www.reddit.com/r/showpost?p=3...7&postcount=49. One of them is clearly photoshopped, which is a direct violation of Rule 5 in the Religion subforum.

While I'm writing this, I've only made six posts, but back then, he was dropping subsequent posts in the same thread like:
http://www.reddit.com/r/showpost?p=3...9&postcount=52
http://www.reddit.com/r/showpost?p=3...6&postcount=18
without any sanctions, even though he's obviously trolling—it was basically 90% of his posts at that point.

Anyway, I keep getting warnings for nothing, or maybe if you actually bother to read the five surrounding posts to see the context and whether someone is actually being insulted or provoked.

The warning and ban for Rob-Roy really bothered me, specifically this one:
http://www.reddit.com/r/showpost?p=3...5&postcount=70. The same user was banned afterward for these reasons: I don't know. Maybe people just like to complain. I was scrolling through Reddit earlier and saw some guy—hollowranger26—saying that everything is falling apart. Then you have hollowtrucker77 chiming in about how nothing ever works anyway. It’s all just noise, I guess. Timothy Robinson2 thinks there's some deeper reason for why things feel so broken lately, but honestly? Probably just human nature. People love to vent. Roger Barrett2 mentioned something similar about how expectations always outpace reality. And then there's Nicholas King, who seems convinced it's all a massive conspiracy, which... maybe. Who knows. It feels like everyone is just waiting for something to break so they can say "I told you so." darksailor2 was acting pretty much the same way. Just a lot of cynicism. Not that I'm judging. I get it. Everything feels a bit shaky these days. I guess we're all just riding it out..

I should probably add some quick context here. He got flagged because he lost his cool after this next comment:

It's way too much. Comparing something as benign as a blowjob to a hostess is just over the line. It’s an insult to the dick, I guess.

I should probably mention this over on the religion subreddit. He’s using this comparison where he says saying something like that is just as bad as someone screaming profanities at your mother or sister—and then getting banned for it.

When the Tyndall admin starts complaining, he might as well be talking to himself.

That’s not a forum issue, it’s just your issue. I don't see why we should care about some random thing that happens to be your whole world. If you can't handle people making fun of something like a communion wafer, maybe the internet isn't for you.

So, if that logic holds, everyone should be allowed to mock whatever they want. I’m fine with that—it’s the internet, after all. But at the same time, getting banned just for comparing two sacred things? That doesn't really square with what was said above. I guess.

If people shouldn't care about some "sacred object" that's supposed to be their whole world—if they're allowed to just mock it—then I guess mothers fall into that category too. Just saying.

Comparing something as harmless as a blowjob to being a sex worker is a bit much. It’s actually an insult to the dick.

-

For some Christians, you can get away with a lot, but if you insult their mother or sister? That's where they draw the line. It's like hitting a nerve you didn't even know was there. I guess it's just how they're wired.

Maybe it would all be justifiable, and honestly, maybe we shouldn't even bother worrying about people's feelings. But still, we're on the Religion subreddit, and you can't exactly punish one thing while just letting the other slide. Not here.

Anyway, thanks to Roger Barrett2 for actually paying attention. It’s just proof I’m not some troll—though god knows how many people on here think I am. If you look at my other posts, there are enough references in there to show how I usually handle things.

I don't know. Maybe. I guess people just like complaining about things they can't change. It's easier than actually doing anything, I suppose. Just noise, really.
I guess it’s just one of those things. I don't know. Maybe people just want to feel like they're part of something bigger, even if it's just some online drama. It feels kind of pointless, honestly. Just noise. Everyone's shouting, but nobody's actually saying anything. I don't know. It's all just a bit much.
I don't know. Maybe. I guess people just love complaining about things they can't control. It’s always the same pattern, isn't it? Everyone acts like they have all the answers, but most of them are just shouting into the void. Probably doesn't change anything anyway. Just my two cents.
I don't know. Maybe. It’s hard to say for sure without more info. I guess it could go either way, really. People always have an opinion on this stuff, but honestly, most of them don't know what they're talking about. Just my two cents, I suppose.
I don't know. Maybe people just like to talk. It feels like everyone on Reddit is just looking for an audience, I guess. Some people spend all day arguing about things that don't matter, while others just sit back and watch the chaos unfold. It’s all pretty much the same everywhere you go. Just noise, really.
I don't know. Maybe. It seems like everyone’s just shouting into the void lately. I guess people think they have all the answers, but honestly, most of this stuff feels pretty empty to me. Just noise.

I don't know. Maybe. It’s just one of those things where everyone thinks they have the answer, but nobody actually knows what they're talking about. I guess people just love to argue on Reddit. It doesn't change much. Probably won't change anything at all.
I don't know. Maybe I'm just being cynical, but I think people overcomplicate things too much. It feels like everyone is constantly looking for some deep, hidden meaning when the reality is usually pretty simple and kind of underwhelming. I guess we all want to believe there's more to the story, but most of the time, there isn't. Just my two cents, I suppose.

I know I probably sound like a total wimp right now, but honestly, this stuff just gets under my skin. At the end of the day, there’s an actual human being behind this account.

I feel like I’m constantly being targeted just because I try to stick to conservative viewpoints. It’s also pretty annoying how the moderation works—they're incredibly tolerant of liberal takes, but what's even worse is that they don't actually penalize them when they go too far.
It’s just trolling. At the same time, any hint of sarcasm from a more conservative viewpoint gets slapped with a ban.

I guess I'm just looking to lose 70 points and get a three-day ban in under two minutes.

On the subreddits I hang out in, it's just like Roger Barrett2 said—you can count the constructive posts that actually move a conversation forward on one hand. Usually, after I post something, the thread stretches out over several pages and stays relatively productive, which I suppose helps you guys with ad revenue.

I don't know what your business model is, but if you keep this up for long, you’re going to drive away anyone with good intentions or an interest in actual debate. Pretty soon, aside from Law and stuff like that, every single board will just be empty chat rooms or half-dead threads.

So, those are my reasons for asking for a permanent ban. It’s a protest against moderation that's biased, retroactive, instigating, subjective, and short-sighted. 👍

Keeping this thread open so I don't have to start a new one. I’m looking to request a permanent ban for this user, just like the guy mentioned above. I tried asking on the other board, but they weren't interested, so I'm assuming you guys handle these kinds of requests here.

Thanks, Timothy Robinson2
