Hold on a second, are you telling me that after months of preaching about this project on every single platform imaginable—from local political forums to random social media threads—you still didn't know, or even bother to find out, who the actual investor behind the whole thing is? It really only takes thirty seconds of Googling, doesn't it?

Laura Green23 said:so she got 🙂 a seven-day total ban. I don't personally have an issue with that, but from what I can see watching this thread, she hasn't exactly cooled off since this started, has she? And honestly, the fact that someone can write exactly what she wrote without facing any consequences at all is just baffling. What kind of criteria are we even using here? It makes no sense!

So, looking back at your specific post:

even if I get banned, it's worth it—but seriously Gingerin, you are such a foolish and malicious creature.

A 500-point Card paired with a 7-day ban is the standard penalty for outright insulting other forum members.

Did you actually file a report against one of Gingerin's posts? Because I haven't seen anything on my end.
Instead of just reporting the post, you decided to start an entire new thread on the main forum?

Well, since you're a supporter of Eric Adams and his movement, it really throws a wrench into the theory that they’re untouchable, doesn't it? 😁

Sure, Gingerin has received Cards and bans before—just as our colleague mentioned—and frankly, it happened much more frequently than it does to you. Back then, it seems people just looked the other way and didn't make a fuss. However, if she had caught a ban recently, I am absolutely certain that someone from the "opposition" camp would have already opened a massive thread on the main forum, claiming that Gingerin is being persecuted simply because she changed her tune and is now one of Eric Adams's biggest critics.

To put it simply: if she were to write the exact same thing to you that you wrote to her, she'd be facing the exact same Card and ban.

driftingtinker said:You really reminded me that we're approaching the anniversary of when one highly respected forum veteran sent a mass circular private message to every single person debating in the Politics subforum. I can't recall the exact title, but I remember vividly how everyone received a tailored little dose of whatever they deserved—some getting much more than others—effectively serving as a digital "resume of insults" regarding their refusal to stop rolling around in the gutter of this forum, all delivered with some truly memorable jabs.

I can't quite pin down who the main actor was, but it's certainly worth marking the anniversary of that singular moment of chaos.

You're probably thinking of the guy who, after his whole drama queen orbi et orbi routine where he "forgave" this "cesspool of a forum" right here on the main board, sent out those PMs (which were just a cocktail of insults and passive-aggression) to the mods, admins, and random users alike. Then, almost as soon as you could say "cookies," he cloned his account and immediately returned to obsessively harping on the same thread using the clone.

When the clone eventually got a permanent ban, he just hopped right back on with his original nickname anyway. 😁

Wait a second, Mancha, are you really jumping from one subreddit to another just so you can harass moderators on a different sub, thinking it doesn't count because it's not their "home" turf?! Do you honestly believe that kind of behavior is okay?

It’s honestly a little bit like when kids cover their eyes with their hands and genuinely think they’ve become invisible, whispering, "you can't see me."

Gregory Hall66, we’re going to settle this one way or another: either you stop the trolling, or you'll start getting rewarded with bans for your constant trolling and off-topic outbursts:

- This thread focuses on the new Mayor, Eric Adams, who was born in 1982, and within this discussion, you won't be allowed to troll about political parties, the old Yugoslavia era, the sixties, the seventies, party courts, historical political factions, or any attempts to derail the conversation into unrelated topics or off-topic tangents.

If you just can't seem to move past those bygone eras, then maybe this isn't the right topic for you... if the trolling continues, you will face appropriate sanctions. Just remember, the administrators can see every single one of your posts.

Larry Wilson25 said:It’s just my luck, isn't it? My entire post was wiped clean from the board, and all because I didn't realize someone else had already asked essentially the exact same thing! Isn't that just the way it goes sometimes?
It feels like the agitprop comments are being given a free pass to roam wild while anything remotely critical gets wiped clean immediately—I’m honestly relieved, so thanks to the mods for that—but then again, I see people getting banned or having their accounts suspended just as frequently, at least from what I can gather. Is anyone else noticing this pattern?

Even though Fraer doesn't have any background in the private sector, I’m still casting my vote for him, and honestly, no amount of nitpicking or outside commentary is going to sway me one bit. After all, isn't it a little ironic that we have someone leading our country who hasn't actually spent a single day working in a corporate environment?

Let’s stir up a little bit of healthy debate on his thread, shall we? You’ve only got a few hours left to make your voices heard!

Well, you see, your one-sentence little jab about that "agitprop comment" was wiped away simply because the entire thread—including that very comment itself—was scrubbed from the board! Is it any wonder things seem to be vanishing? It was all cleared out at once. 😁Don't you think you might have missed something there, enough to make you realize why your post was taken down in the first place?

Adam Collins4 said:Honestly, I completely lost my cool and went on a total rant regarding his specific topic. Are you seriously trolling me just because I pointed out that he lacks the fundamental expertise required to manage such a massive organization? Because, honestly, he really doesn't have it.

And what about that other crowd over there? You know, the ones just mindlessly cycling through those rehearsed talking points they were clearly spoon-fed? Honestly, nothing comes from them at all... does it?

And honestly, when you look at the people he’s chosen to surround himself with, it’s just... zero. Zero points. How can anyone look at that lineup and see anything resembling competence?

No, you didn't miss a single thing. Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like we’re all just staring at a pile of empty cardboard boxes lately? It honestly makes you wonder if there's some deeper meaning behind all this clutter, or if we're all just drowning in packaging and waste. Doesn't it strike you as strange how much stuff we accumulate just to throw it away moments later? On his thread? Honestly, you just earned yourself a single yellow card—ten points for pure trolling. It’s a perfectly fair penalty, really, because that level of nonsense is exactly what you’d expect from someone channeling the same kind of empty wisdom we used to see from Eric Adams and his whole crowd.

Nicholas Nguyen Asks:
Is it any wonder that the "approved" tag was handed out by such an intensely ideological and politically driven group of moderators over on Politics?

I mean, look, I’ll still be casting my vote for him, but let’s be honest—the way certain threads and topics are being moderated around here is just an absolute embarrassment. It’s honestly pathetic, isn't it?

I actually went back to take a look at what exactly was going on with your posts over on Politics and that specific thread, but then I noticed you've been dealing with some serious bias on the platform since all the way back in 2018. Honestly, seeing that, I completely get why you’re feeling so bitter about the whole thing.

----
And just to offer my final word on this matter:

Is there anything more predictable than when people start hurling insults instead of actually engaging with an idea? It’s become this tired little routine: you see someone expressing a political opinion, and suddenly they’re being branded as Soros mercenaries, or "sandwich-eating" radicals, or just some bunch of jobless, leftist losers. It’s honestly fascinating, isn't it? How quickly a conversation devolves from a debate about policy into a collection of cheap labels meant to dismiss anyone who doesn't fit a specific mold. They call Eric Adams supporters nothing but paid puppets or low-life agitators, and they build this entire "system" of arguments that isn't really based on facts, but rather on how much they can belittle the other side. Does it ever occur to them that calling someone a "failure" or a "drifter" doesn't actually disprove their point? It just makes the person shouting look increasingly desperate. When the only tools left in your kit are insults and condescension, haven't you already lost the argument? Are we really looking at a bunch of lost souls here? It feels like we’re watching a cast of failed actors just lounging around on the sidewalk, pretending they actually have a purpose. You look at this crew from FFZG and you see people who have seemingly never accomplished a single productive thing in their entire lives. Honestly, is Eric Adams any different from Eric Adams? It’s the same old story, isn't it? They act like foreign mercenaries, and all you can hear is the constant, repetitive chatter about Soros, his family, and more Soros. Is anyone actually surprised by this endless cycle? Those "foreign spy" narratives and all that conspiracy nonsense? Honestly, it never worked then, and it sure as hell isn't going to work now. It’s just as ridiculous as trying to clutter this thread with those mindless videos and questionable sources—though I suppose some of them are still hanging around just in case anyone needs a little cheap entertainment. And don't even get me started on the clones of permabanned users; it was like watching a bizarre biological phenomenon where banned accounts would miraculously multiply right here in the thread. Why does that even happen?

cosmicotter9 said:🤣
Of course, any dissenting opinion is immediately labeled "trolling." I guess having a moderator badge really does its job—protecting colleagues from anyone who actually dares to present an argument, right?

Since you're already here, why don't you be a sweetheart and just lay out the entire policy for me? It would save me the trouble of getting banned later for trying to rationalize anything with political zealots of any party, and honestly, it might just save us both from ever having to interact again.

Alright, I'll try to meet you halfway.

Best regards!

Dear cosmicotter9!

You showed up ready to stir the pot, and honestly, your true intentions were laid bare by this one specific sentence (among many others, but I'll use this one as the perfect example of "instigating"):

- a quote from your post:

"I believe most of you people are being intentionally screwed over here, and I'm just here to make you all look like idiots."

...which is exactly why I called it out in your formal warning.

It’s not that you got banned solely because of that one line, but rather that it serves as a vivid summary of your entire attitude and the actual reason you bother showing up to this thread in the first place.

We've had quite enough of the trolls hanging around this discussion, especially those who haven't contributed much value beyond their self-proclaimed "brilliant" little provocations—all things considered, it was just pretty poor trolling.

I'm already yawning at the whole "well, that's what was on the syllabus" routine, just as much as I am at the "innocent" excuses from the people pushing it, acting like, "Oh, I didn't say it was *currently* part of the curriculum."

The curriculum is public, it's accessible, and it's the only thing that actually matters when we're evaluating things.
There isn't a single sentence in there that justifies the mockery you were attempting to pull.

Maybe take a break from the trolling; hopefully, after a while, the tension between you and your little crew will start to simmer down.

Have a great weekend!

No, please, feel free to mix metaphors and conflate different issues here if you really think that helps your case.

Your little insinuations about the ghettoization of Americans aren't going to fly, much like everything else you've used to derail this discussion. Don't expect the Bank to lift your ban, either. That's all I have to say to you.

And as for the platform's policy—it's completely public and available for anyone to read.

Did you honestly think you could just derail this entire discussion by throwing out accusations that Eric Adams is a racist, and then turning around and claiming anyone planning to vote for him is a racist too?

So, you’re complaining about a certain "lack of media hysteria and harassment regarding that racist statement"? Which one, exactly? The other users here asked you to provide an actual link to HIS specific quote, rather than just a summary of how his mayoral opponent interpreted what he said.

We can certainly look at it! — Social welfare policy — Including Gypsy women and the Roma community — specifically the part that seems to be bothering you so much.

I simply don't see any racism or discriminatory policies here.

On top of all that, you can't help but throw in those sweeping generalizations about liberals, or making fun of "tolerant brothers" (liberals) by implying they are actually racists themselves. You've chosen a really poor way to frame this debate, and frankly, things can't continue this way without consequences.

Regarding that point:

I might have insulted another user (without any penalties for trolling) because of the endless, repetitive whining found in their posts, but I am certain I didn't offend them too deeply. I think they'll survive.

Even though the warnings or bans issued to other users don't involve you, I'm going to respond because this is just more proof of how you try to twist the facts and how little credibility your claims actually hold: what you're saying is simply false—that specific user has been banned by me at least five times already, and is currently banned right now, because we simply do NOT tolerate trolling, off-topic rambling, or the constant whining that often has nothing to do with the subject at hand.

That doesn't give you a free pass to insult, label, or attack any other member, and it certainly doesn't allow you to "diagnose" someone and suggest they be sent to "institutions on the West Side."

Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly! :)

Noah Ward2 said:I get that it isn't just about one single warning, but rather the buildup from repeatedly hitting the same nerve.

The real question here is why we’re allowed to let a clone of a banned political fanboy run wild for months on end, posting nothing but endless praise for Vucic? Anyone following this thread knows it’s the exact same person... And what’s the point of reporting them? It feels useless because they just hop onto a different IP address, yet they write with the same unmistakable style and push the same agenda. On top of that, whenever someone actually stands up to them, they immediately report those users, leading to more bans; they’ve essentially driven a whole crowd away from this topic while they slip through the cracks because, technically, they aren't breaking any specific rules...

There is a point to it, believe me when I say that.

Like I mentioned before, if you suspect someone is a clone, just use the report button or send a private message to the moderator.

Going forward—you know perfectly well what constitutes trolling, so there really isn't any need for bot-like behavior or cloning attempts in these threads. You know better than that, and you certainly shouldn't claim you were banned for one thing when you actually racked up points for something else entirely.

Your previous posts and the warnings you've received—specifically the total number of points you've accumulated that lead to an automatic ban—are definitely things you need to stay mindful of.

P.S.: Looking at the logs, it seems your 200-point penalty expires tomorrow (out of your current 300), so as far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't mind seeing the admin lift your ban as early as tonight. I'll go ahead and send a request via PM just in case they don't see this right away.

Noah Ward2 said:Can you—or maybe one of the mods—please explain why, in the thread about Mexico, we’re still letting this guy get away with being an absolute bot for Vucic? He’s basically a carbon copy of someone who was already banned, just the same old thing...

This is actually the third time I've ended up suspended because of this... I try to be patient, I try to just ignore him, but every single time I open that thread, there he is, quoting how Vucic is the greatest ever, all while acting smug and obnoxious...

So, I finally lose my cool and call him out because he's driving everyone crazy, then he reports me, and suddenly I'm the one getting banned... It isn't even just that; I even tried asking him what his official "botting hours" are so I can just avoid the topic entirely... Honestly, the quality of discussion here has plummeted to rock bottom...

Is this really the kind of environment you guys want for this forum? Tell me, so I know where I stand...

Just so we're clear, you didn't get a direct ban because of this specific post; you were suspended because you hit the limit for accumulated penalty points.

You've received warnings from other moderators as well for posts written in roughly this same style, or for more aggressive "jumping in" on people. Essentially, the fact that you can't help yourself (as you put it—you say you "can't take it," so you lash out) is your own responsibility to manage.

For this particular post, you were assigned 10 points for trolling; it wasn't the reason for the ban itself:

Hey Bot, what are your headquarters' designated hours for spamming pages here? Just let me know so I can stay far away from this thread during those times...

If you suspect someone is a clone, you should use the report button or send a private message to the moderators.

You've been on this forum far too long, and you're active enough, to be unfamiliar with the rules.

John Wayne, your reasoning for this ban is identical to the last one, so there’s really no point in us wasting our breath typing all this out again, is there?

I’m not quite sure what you were picturing here, but surely you didn't think you could just keep trolling us indefinitely by recycling the exact same tired arguments? You keep circling back to the same nonsense—questioning people's work experience or claiming their only life achievement was lying around on the sidewalk in Times Square.

Are you seriously suggesting I should have personally reached out to warn you before things escalated? When you first started this trolling spree, you were handed a ten-point penalty. Instead of changing your tune, you doubled down on the exact same behavior, which is why you got banned. Then, the second your ban expired, you jumped right back into the thread with the same old narrative, and now you’re acting like someone should have given you a heads-up earlier?!

I honestly don't have anything left to say; the supermod has already stated their position, and when you filed your last appeal, the moderator Zoran Oštrić was kind enough to spend his time patiently explaining certain concepts to you to help you understand. But clearly, it was all for nothing since you refuse to accept anyone's logic or explanations. If the admins have nothing more to contribute, then I think we can just lock this thread and move on.

swifttinker40 said:I’m looking to reconnect with some former colleagues after quite a few years apart
I happen to have their last names and home addresses, but I don't have any phone numbers—they all seem to be old-school types who still rely on landlines
I tried searching for them through online directories like WhitePages and AnyWho, but I haven't had much luck finding anything useful...
Does anyone know if there might be another way to track down their numbers?

Well, if you say you already have their home address, why not just send them a little note through the mail? Just drop a quick message letting them know you'd love to catch up and include your own number so they can reach out if they want to. Or perhaps you could reach out to some old mutual friends who might still be in touch with them and ask them to pass along your info? Honestly, isn't it a bit counterproductive to go through all this trouble when a simple letter would work?

If someone has a landline but they aren't listed in the public directory, doesn't that pretty much mean they intentionally chose to keep their number private?
In that case, I have to wonder, why are you looking for "workarounds" to get ahold of them?

I truly believe my colleagues should take some time to sit down and really weigh all the options here.

And I wanted to say thanks to you as well for keeping this conversation so civil—which, let's be honest, isn't always the case on these forums, is it?

Honestly, that little comment of yours is nothing more than a tiny dot on the massive map of your relentless trolling in this thread. If we’re being completely honest about your "intense trolling," wouldn't it be more accurate to say you've been doing it repeatedly and quite persistently?

So, this is how things stand after that last post—I ended up getting hit with a nearly "symbolic" 10-point penalty, which I suppose means my trolling card was downgraded from 25 points down to 10.

I think I’m actually going to get behind Tomašević. Doesn't he just strike you as the kind of person who will work tirelessly toward the complete downfall of this city—and by extension, the entire country?Is it any wonder that everything seems to be working out so perfectly for him, especially when you consider how many people claim he’s just another one of George Soros's protégés? It really makes you wonder, doesn't it? From where I'm sitting, it looks like every move Soros makes is driven by nothing more than pure humanistic values and a genuine commitment to philanthropy. I’m honestly going to give him a fair shot at this, just so he can finally finish the work that the absolute mess Bandić started. At the end of the day, don't we all want someone who can actually get things done? I really think Tomašević might be able to handle the job with much more skill and efficiency than what we've seen lately. I honestly have a feeling that you might actually be quite good at this, don't you think?

And yet, he just kept on going, sticking to that exact same pattern without missing a beat.

I’ve actually left you enough rope in several different posts to keep going, thinking that maybe, just maybe, you’d take the hint like a seasoned forum veteran and realize exactly when trolling crosses the line from being a bit of fun into something that really needs to stop.

And yet, even after that first warning shot was fired, they just kept right on going with the exact same pattern, didn't they? It’s like they took that initial red card as a suggestion rather than a lesson, continuing on with that same unmistakable style.

Is there any hope left for this city, or has the corruption finally become too deeply embedded to ever truly fix? Honestly, I find myself wondering if we shouldn't just tear everything down to the studs and start over from scratch. It feels like the foundation itself is compromised beyond repair. If we were actually serious about a total reset, wouldn't Tomašević be the most effective choice to lead that charge? He’s got that youthful drive and raw energy that someone like Bandić simply lacks. Don't get me wrong, Bandić puts in the effort, but he moves at such a glacial pace that it feels like nothing ever actually changes. We don't need incremental progress right now; we need someone with enough momentum to dismantle the old system entirely within a single term.

?!

Pa opet sljedeći post:

Well, that’s just classic Tomašević for you. We're looking at a man who possesses absolutely zero practical experience in actually running an organization or managing anything of substance, yet he fancies himself ready to step right into the role of Mayor of Washington, D.C., as if it were his very first day on the job. If we follow that specific line of reasoning, wouldn't any college student walking across a graduation stage without a single day of internship or real-world training be perfectly qualified to take over the mayoralty of a massive metropolis like Washington, D.C.? There really wouldn't be a shred of difference, would there? It makes you wonder—what has Tomašević actually achieved or worked at in his entire life?

Honestly, I feel like someone exactly like that would be absolutely perfect to come in and completely dismantle whatever little remains of Washington, D.C. after the mess left behind by Bandić, so you can bet you'd have my full support on that one. Doesn't he have all the right connections and just the perfect amount of "professional experience" to make sure he compares the capital to a total wasteland in every possible way?

?!

Pa sljedeći post:

How can anyone seriously look at this individual and see a leader? We're talking about someone who doesn't have even a single day of actual work experience under their belt, let alone anything resembling a background in management! Is it really possible to expect someone to steer a ship when they've never even stepped foot on a deck before?

Still going at it with the same arguments, aren't you? And honestly, it’s just plain wrong.

Pa sljedeći post:

So, I have been sitting here wondering—and please, bear with me, because I know this sounds like a bit of a deep dive—but what exactly is it that people *do* in the public sector? When we talk about government agencies or those massive bureaucratic institutions, it often feels like we’re looking at a black box, doesn't it? We see the headlines and we hear the political chatter on CNN, but what is the actual, day-to-day substance of that work? Are we talking about the essential infrastructure that keeps a city like Washington, D.C. running, or is it more about the complex web of policy-making and regulation that shapes our lives from behind the scenes? I mean, when you really peel back the layers, is it all just paperwork and endless meetings, or is there a much more vital, pulse-pounding engine driving the country forward that we simply don't see?

Pa sljedeći post:

If you’ve truly run out of arguments to defend this Marxist hack who hasn't actually worked a real day in his life—spending all his time just showing up at protests—then honestly, why bother bringing up Bandić in his "defense" at all?

Moving on to the next point:

So, is marching in protests and being a career activist without any actual work experience really the standard for becoming Mayor? Is that what counts as a resume these days?

Like I said before, it doesn't bother me one bit, because if he’s going to ruin this city, he'll likely do a much faster job than Bandić ever did; after all, he's younger, so everything will move at double speed. Bandić was just too slow for my liking.

And then there you are in your last post, stubbornly sticking to that exact same tone, earning yourself a full hundred points for being such an unrelenting troll.

By the way, this supposed "support" of yours for Tomašević—based solely on the idea that he’ll work tirelessly to dismantle this city and, by extension, the entire country—is hardly a narrative that deserves any sympathy or an open invitation to keep posting like this.

Here is an edit regarding your latest attempt to twist my words right under my post:

- You went back and edited your original post to change what you actually said. Originally, you wrote, "it told me every single time I got a warning that it was for gender-based insults"... but while I was busy typing my reply, you scrubbed it down to just "to throw out"...

So, are you telling me it told you—and it told you EVERY SINGLE TIME—that you were being warned for violating General Forum Rules due to gender-based insults? 🤣 🤣

What "every time" are we talking about here?
Because from what I can see, you have received one solitary warning with that specific reasoning (which is quite unfortunate, since looking at your post history, you certainly could have racked up many more)!

That pile of trash is your own masterpiece on the topic of the coronavirus in Politics—it really speaks volumes about you and your level of class. It’s just like the vocabulary you use when you're complaining about the Red Cross or the FBI.

It doesn't say anywhere that I am strictly forcing you into the coronavirus thread. I mentioned several other sections too. Why don't you try checking out the women's corner? (The NNNI thread covers the coronavirus pandemic there, too). 🙂

Anyway, bye-bye, Morgan! 👋

Honestly, I have to wonder how much effort you actually put into this latest episode of acting like an idiot (which, by the way, is a bannable offense on this forum!) and just how desperate you are to fight for the right to call women "clueless losers" simply because you lack the capacity for constructive criticism or any kind of meaningful contribution to the discussion!

Just to give everyone a little glimpse into your magnificent body of work over on the Politics thread regarding the coronavirus, purely to illustrate the general vibe of your typical

Idiots, the whole lot of them—starting with those morons over at the New York Yankees who wouldn't know sense if it hit them, and including that irrational woman too.

And so on, and so forth... there's plenty more where that came from, and as I've said before, this isn't just a one-off fluke or someone "veering off track"—it’s a constant pattern.

Discourse like this doesn't belong on this forum or any public platform; if you want to talk like this, go ahead and do it behind closed doors with people who share your particular level of cultural sophistication.

Your anger regarding moderation and having your posts flagged for violating forum rules is hardly my concern—it’s quite obvious that you persistently break these rules without making even the slightest effort to change, is it not? The fact that you can't manage your own impulses or control how you write and behave is your own issue to resolve, rather than constantly trying to provoke people here, at the Red Cross, or with the FBI.

Your perception is yours alone, but I certainly don't build my own stances based on whether you choose to accept them or not.

I am more than happy to collaborate with people who are significantly more constructive and polite than you are, so please, carry on—just be who you are, but expect the corresponding sanctions on this forum accordingly.

I should point out that there are at least four or five different threads dedicated to the coronavirus on this site: there's the main PDF, the Politics thread, the general discussion area, the women's corner, and likely a few others. Feel free to see how your specific style and narrative are received by the moderators in those other sections.

Furthermore, this will be my final response to you; the little "bait" you keep throwing out to try and prove you're right is far too transparent to warrant any further waste of my time.

There is just one thing I might actually agree with:

Let's see who really deserves the shame: some hyper-aggressive feminist, or me, who earned my ban fairly (though strictly for insults, not on the basis of gender—that would only happen in some parallel universe where every insult against a public figure gets you banned, and we all know that isn't how this forum works).

So you admit you earned the ban, but only for insulting people, not for insults based on gender? 😬

Fair enough: an insult ban carries 45 points and lasts much longer than a ban for violating General Forum Rules, which is what you received, carrying 35 points. Your current ban for rule violations lasts until February 19th, so as far as I'm concerned, rustydrifter10 could easily swap that 35-point ban for a 45-point one that would last you five and a half months. And if that's your preference, since you find "aggressive feminism" so bothersome, I’ll be more than happy to accommodate you in that regard next time.
