Do I feel like the headline is eventually going to change to "How much longer do we have to deal with lonepanther4?" Yeah, I definitely feel that way. 😉
Happy New Year to silentsailor5 and the rest of the crew from Tin City! 😉 Looking ahead to next year, I’m really hoping for even better teamwork with the PDF Teens moderators and our hardworking admins here. 😉
It’s been quite a while now and I still haven't heard anything back... though it's pretty obvious people are following this closely—we've already hit over 1,500 views. ☕

Hey there. 😉
Tyler Ross86 said:Look, speaking as someone just trying to stay neutral here, I honestly don't get why a moderator—someone who's supposed to be an actual adult—can't be bothered to step up and answer serious, direct questions... It makes the whole situation look even more pathetic than those Teens posting in this thread, who basically need a babysitter to teach them basic manners, let alone a mod who's meant to be leading them.
Wait a second... your username is Tyler Ross86? 🤦
Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for all the support during these tough times. 😉
Michelle Palmer6 said:It’s just not possible. There are users out there who received permanent bans for way, way less than what Maminho was doing, and yet nobody even thought to step in and help them. Look, I don’t have anything against Maminho personally, but I really feel like we need to establish some kind of standard threshold when it comes to this stuff. Consistency matters!
Honestly, who’s actually guaranteeing that things will change? He’s already been given plenty of opportunities, and I just don't see how "one more shot" is going to fix anything this time around. When you look at the history here, we've seen this exact same circus play out multiple times before. Every single time he was granted "one last chance" or hit with a mountain of warnings, he responded with the same old nonsense: insults, trolling, and constant spamming. It's a broken cycle. The internet is a massive place—plenty of room for everyone! They should just go find a home somewhere else.
I am all for this!

Michelle Palmer6 said:First off, do you have any idea how many clone accounts he made? I honestly stopped counting after the 20th one. Second, he was straight-up insulting and threatening the moderators over in the Football section—who, by the way, have absolutely zero tolerance for his antics, both before and after his permanent ban. Third, he flooded and spammed almost every single thread he touched, often using incredibly vulgar and offensive language toward other users. It was borderline pathological! All of this happened right here on the main site, where the general community rules apply to every single subforum and every corner of the platform. Partial bans are usually reserved for trolls who just want to derail one specific discussion thread. But this guy? He proved himself a problem time and time again across multiple sections, including Football, Tech Support, and even during the Euro 2008 discussions. He even had partial bans in your section too!
Look, I have a partial ban on one specific thread, but I don't recognize myself in this current situation, nor does anyone else here ever complain about me. So, why should I be surprised? ☕

unlikable🤦
I mean, the Teens don't exactly grab him for happy hour or hang out with him in their free time, so whether he's a nice guy or not shouldn't really matter.
He could be the most obnoxious, unpleasant, or even completely incompetent person on the planet, but as long as his moderation stays fair and consistent, nobody should have a reason to complain.☕
At the end of the day, our complaints are about how the site is moderated, not about the moderator's personality flaws.😉
The admins aren't very active and you rarely see them online, though the moderators on this forum are always perfectly professional ☕ It's really up to us to just sit tight and wait ☕
I’m asking my dear colleagues to please hold off on the spam and casual chatter in this thread. It’s actually having the opposite effect of what we want ☕
We have a serious matter on the table here, and our inquiry has been officially submitted. We're just waiting on answers now—honestly, I'm not sure why they're taking so long. I'd really appreciate it if the leadership could step up with some solutions or clarity. I'm even calling on the other moderator, the PDF Teens lonepanther4, to weigh in here ☕
Anyway, that's all I have to say for now. I'm heading out toward Chicago 🙂 👋 🙂
Alright, haha, we all had a good laugh, but can we please just lock this thread? It’s completely off-topic and it’s just cluttering up the board, taking space away from the discussions that actually matter. 🙂
We should probably merge this with that other thread about silentsailor5, just so we have one central place to track all of their questionable calls and total fails.🙂
Zodiac is honestly a terrible moderator. Most of their actions seem totally irrational—almost like they’re doing it just to be difficult. They don't really add anything to this subforum; if anything, they just focus on cracking down on people. I was just reading up on the debate regarding the chat thread on the unknown forum, and I honestly don't get why anyone is pushing back against it. 😕 It’s specifically because certain users make that thread actually worth reading. It serves a real purpose. Instead of just listing a song title, they include a little "review" of the band or the track alongside what they're listening to. To me, that isn't an issue—it's actually encouraged. After all, what's the point of a music thread if you aren't sharing any thoughts? 😕

Like I mentioned, you end up reading some pretty interesting stuff about the bands and the songs, plus the authors share their own takes. ☕ Even though I've been unfairly banned from that subforum for six months now (and nobody besides Zodiac has an issue with me coming back, even if they can't quite explain why),
silentsailor5 said:You have every right to express yourself, and I certainly don't mind you posting on the forums, but intentionally causing chaos in the chat isn't going to fly here. 🙂 I already cleared this with the admin.
Since when is saying hello and asking how things are going considered making a mess?
