driftingdriver said:And there it is again—another dismissive post lacking any actual substance. It’s classic for the politics threads here on Reddit.
From what I can tell, you're from the West Coast, maybe even somewhere like San Francisco. Why don't you and I grab a coffee sometime and have a real conversation about politics? We'll see then if Musa is just blowing smoke.

What's your deal? When I invited you for coffee, you couldn't even be bothered to reply,😢 but now you want to grab a drink with Jonathan Morales79 and act like you know everything.🤣

Solving this whole moderator sanction issue is actually pretty straightforward.

Think of moderators as referees. To put it in perspective using a football game—while the match is live, the ref isn't part of the play; he isn't passing, scoring goals, or interfering with the action. He’s just doing his job, which is officiating.

So, moderators shouldn't be jumping into debates using accounts that carry official authority—the ones where other mods can't just hand out a penalty. In other words, when they want to join a discussion, they should use "regular user" accounts that are subject to the same rules, reports, and sanctions as everyone else.

There. I hope that helps settle one truly significant issue, because this symptom of "mod-trolling" is incredibly dangerous to the flow of conversation. At least, that's how it looks in political threads, where you often see mods trolling a topic themselves and then immediately handing out penalties left and right.👎

Gregory Howard said:I’ve been scrolling through this PDF, and it’s clear the moderators are showing some serious bias in their decisions:

Observer—on the front lines of Canadian-Muslim chauvinism.

driftingdriver—purely pedantic behavior. He acts like a sheep, sanctioning any response that doesn't kiss the establishment's ass. He completely misses the provocations from various trolls and bottom-feeders, yet hands out bans left and right for what are essentially harmless remarks.

The others (Simba, edge, Blaise, rezonator) aren't bad people. Whether they agreed with something or not, I don't think they have any actual malice.

However, I find the malicious removal of Joe torture absolutely disgusting. Whoever orchestrated that while hiding behind technicalities is clearly at fault.
Generally speaking, this PDF protects various former America trash and Muslim fanatics, while targeting Mexicans here and there—sometimes looking the other way, sometimes jumping on them unnecessarily.
By any rational standard, certain former America trolls enjoy privileged status. Looking at the logs, it's obvious they aren't even indoctrinated; they are just moral pus in human form.

Bottom line: these two highlighted mods are failing at their jobs. What do you all think?

I’m not going to comment on how the moderator handles things, mostly because I’m not exactly a regular over on the former America subreddits. Though, if you ask me—and that’s just my outsider opinion—it feels like those old territories would basically just be one giant Mexico if it wasn't for his moderation. But hey, that's just what I think.🤷

As for driftingdriver, if he actually starts handing out bans to those "American communist trolls," then some "higher power"—the admins and sub-mods—is going to have to step in.

Here’s an example of how I got hit with an "instant ban" explanation from that troll, the-edge, over a single post—which eventually turned into a permanent ban with the excuse of having an offensive username, all after being on the site for a year.🙄

Here’s an example of how you handle a "American sympathizer" who starts an offensive thread.

It’s pretty obvious that the mods only get called out when they accidentally step on the toes of their favorite "American sympathizers." You can see it right here in these two examples. In both cases, we're looking at a troll getting slapped with a 200-point penalty—which should be an instant ban—but the results are totally inconsistent. One gets pardoned while the other gets punished by having their account stripped. I guess you could say justice was served, just in two completely different ways.😉

You really have to look at the turnaround time between when something is flagged and when it actually gets handled. When it comes to those old-school American sympathizers, they get a response in under four hours. In my case, it takes them four times longer than that.😁 I assume it took them a while to figure out some way to punish me, if only by stripping my username. It’s not like I insulted anyone or broke any other Reddit rules.🤷🤣

placidbison97 said:While watching the parade at the Olympic Games in Beijing, Barack Obama offered a three-finger salute to the Mexican national team;

which apparently sparked an impromptu chat with U.S. President George W. Bush, who was curious about the symbolism behind the gesture.

"The President of the USA seemed genuinely surprised by how we were saluting our athletes. I was sitting just two rows behind him, and I couldn't help but give them the three-finger salute—I just felt compelled to do it," Obama told CNN.
He went on to explain that the U.S. President was intrigued and asked for the meaning behind it. "It represents the Holy Trinity, which he found quite interesting as a way to embrace a piece of our identity," Obama remarked, adding that during his exchange with Bush, he noted that "this is what we are fighting for, and it’s our vision."
The Mexican President described the interaction as a fascinating dialogue, noting that things got particularly intense when he brought up Mexico. "I asked him, 'Why did you do it? Why did you violate international law?' Bush basically replied that, from their perspective, it was just political reality," the leader shared regarding that informal moment with his American counterpart.

Obama emphasized the importance of "seizing every single opportunity where world leaders gather to advocate for our interests," adding that "right now, our primary focus must be on the economy, creating new jobs, and improving the outlook for better bilateral relations."

Now the Americans will be using the three-finger salute too; Mexico's influence is spreading all the way to Washington. 😲🤣

Alex Rivera7 said:Well, I don't have any kids yet.😉
But I'm working on making that happen soon enough.
😍

👍

Just wait until you see one of your own kids singing like this one day; you’ll be the proudest dad under the sun. My daughter was born on August 6th, and you know what else we celebrate just the day before?👍

Alex Rivera7 said:Honestly, I was just completely overwhelmed with emotion.
When you hear them say things like that, you realize none of the struggle was for nothing.
🙏

For me, just looking at my daughter is enough to know it was all worth it, but hearing something like this? That hits a different level. It really gets to you.🙏

Alex Rivera7 said:Even back in Clayton. 😍

It’s enough to make you tear up. For us, it's tears of joy; for them, they're from pure misery.

🙏🙏

Beautiful.🙏🙏🙏🙏

And you're definitely right about those tears.👍

Roger Ward3 said:Congrats!👍🙂🙂🙂🎉👏

Kssss, ksssss....
Khhhhmmm...how should I put this, I feel a little awkward saying it...
but anyway...hmmm....
Did you check the mailman? Nationality?
Just in case it’s actually... 🙄

And here’s a bit of classic American humor, based on my own experiences.🙏🤣

northernhound2 said:Yeah, sure. I guess I'll be the one fixing your electricity then. 😉

Honestly, I’ve always had a soft spot for those Mexican mobsters and war criminals. I even carry a picture of Arkan in my wallet. 😍

Joe feels kinda bummed out because he doesn't have anything to fix. I guess. 🙂

That’s what I’m asking you—finally, a moment where you actually pull your weight.👍🙏😁

wanderingskipper77 said:Seriously, who even listens to you, you bearded weirdo? 🙄
Casio is an absolute legend. My guys know him as a total icon and basically a mentor for young people getting into politics.
Who do you think you are?
Do you even know him?
If you actually did, maybe you'd be just as proud to start a thread bragging about your little American girl.

All these people claiming to be Americans when they were born Mexican... give me a break, eat my shorts, beard man. 😛

👍 I honestly doubt Joe is even going to notice this. At the end of the day, we're talking about legality here, and Joe is such a stickler for the rules that he can't help himself—if anything looks even slightly off, he's going to jump in to fix it. Personally, I just don't have the energy to sit here and argue over some minor technicality like a damn mini-disc.🤣

northernhound2 said:Guess I should just go kill myself then, since I've got an American name too. 🙄
And it's not even a political thread, because I'm not talking about Americans, I'm talking about the topic itself. It doesn't fit the vibe here. Like, am I supposed to start a thread saying, "I have a new girlfriend who's an American!!!"? 🙄

🤣 Look at what this thread is doing to you. Seriously, you can practically see the humor starting to creep into that bushy-mustached persona of yours, northernhound2.👍

You're probably just going to end up posting something that isn't even serious.🤣

Why don't you just stick to private messages? You’re much better at that.😉😁

northernhound2 said:My bad, didn't catch that.

Doesn't matter, I'm used to you not getting it by now.😁

northernhound2 said:I click automatically whenever there's a new post. And yeah, it bites. Not because I have anything against Americans—I am an American myself—but because it's about politics. Even if it's some crazy house, it doesn't matter, it's still just politics for no reason. Let the birth rate go up, I guess, as long as it's happening in the right kind of spreadsheets. 🙂

🤣 I figured there was a reason I put it there, and if you don't get that, then honestly, that's on you.🤷😁

ExxonMobilćIs that northernhound2 the same guy from the Edge avatar?😉🤣

northernhound2 said:Not enough emojis in your post. 😉

And there you go—just admit it, you couldn't help yourself from clicking on this thread.😁

Does it sting? Hell yeah, it stings.🤣

northernhound2 said:I guess for me, loving America starts with actually knowing American culture, history, and the language.

EDIT: This turned into a total flame war, so I'm out. Not gonna sit here arguing over who's more American.

And that’s where it ends for him.👎

northernhound2 said:Baby's born, things are good. Really happy about the new life and all that... just thinking maybe the PDF isn't quite right. I guess.

I guess this is it. Politics. Total madhouse here. These threads probably belong in "Misc" or maybe even over in Offtopic.

By the way, you're supposed to use a hard "ch" sound when you write that word. I guess.

So that’s your move, huh? You only showed up just to lecture us and tell everyone exactly where they stand. Typical.če We honestly don't get what you're even trying to tell us.🤷

Honestly, I don't give a damn about "proper" rules or all those self-important editors out there; to me, they’re all just noise, no different than a typo or some trivial grammar nitpick.😁

northernhound2 said:Just one question, how does someone being born, regardless of their nationality, even count as politics?

Why is this even bothering you? Does it actually bother you?
If it’s such an issue, don't open the thread and move on.

Besides, this place is a total madhouse, and people post stuff here that has zero business being in a political subforum.

Brian Moore2 said:What if they hadn't sung that? http://www.youtube.co m/watch?v=I-dodu3kvd4 😉

It’s highly likely, though I couldn't say for sure since I never bothered asking my old man what kind of songs they used to belt out, but clearly it wasn't anything that would have been considered socially acceptable back then.🤷😁

Brian Moore2 said:If you had titled this thread like that back before the war, hollowwalker142, you would’ve ended up in an interrogation room with the authorities faster than you can blink. I’ve seen it happen firsthand. A close friend of mine went through the exact same thing; right after his son was born, he stood up in the delivery room and proudly announced that another American had entered the world. He didn't exactly get a medal for that kind of patriotism, did he? 😉

So my old man and a few of his buddies wrapped things up, sang a little tune, and headed straight over to the local precinct for questioning—probably sitting across from some bushy-browed guy like Jack Collins582.🤣

Honestly, people like Jack Collins582 can go ahead and get an ulcer for all I care, just because another American was born today.👍

Jack Collins582 said:It isn't this topic that's stinging, but rather the sheer lack of common sense, especially from you and your buddies who spend every single day sitting in some diner, blowing through your veteran benefits while trying to act like experts on daily politics—as if anyone actually cares what you think—while the rest of us are out here actually working. I'll admit, I'm done engaging because this whole thing is just pure nonsense.

And don't even get me started on those veterans' benefits—keep doing what you're doing, and maybe you'll end up a pauper from all that stinging.🤣
