There are several legal avenues one can take regarding this matter. I have already investigated some of them. Between what I’ve researched personally and what I’ve read in the Ban corner that @Christian Torres3 points to, there is more than enough information to reach a clear conclusion. I have dozens of screenshots saved on my computer related to this topic that were deleted, as well as ones right here. This forum's address ends in .com, which means US laws apply. And those laws supersede any internal forum rules. This isn't some underground tracker. Where is the moderator when the law is involved? Regards.

BTW, with this post, I am done with Reddit, because I start my new job tomorrow. However, I will continue to keep a close eye on any updates regarding this topic. Best regards.

Let's set faith aside and ignore who belongs to what group.
Let's look at a simple comparison.
If someone starts a thread asking what river flows under the bridge in New York City.
And I write Hudson, that is an answer.
Then someone like rowdyhawk10 deletes my post and gives me a warning because it's off-topic.
The thread continues, but for those who write Hudson their posts are deleted.
I provided a direct answer to the topic and the question within it.🤷That is a fact, and whether the post was deleted maliciously or due to ignorance of the subject matter is not for me to judge.

@shady says If someone opens a topic like that in the Religion section (with that kind of question), we will move the thread to Geography, Travel, etc.—we'll find a place for it.

But if on a topic like "Principles of Mercy in Buddhism," someone asks a question like that, then the question is off-topic. You shouldn't answer it (before the moderators have a chance to delete it); instead, report it as off-topic using the "red triangle" icon. By answering an off-topic post, you are also contributing to the issue.

You say you would move it to geography, which means you actually agree with me, since my post carries the exact same logic.
You know perfectly well that I used this as a figurative example, which is why I was penalized. The reality is that I answered the prompt—asking Christians for prayers against enemies and Satan within the context of the topic—and provided an answer to the question posed in the introduction. But you deleted it. Whether it was intentional or due to a lack of understanding of the subject, only you know. You pretend not to understand what I'm writing, even though I complained about the same thing and stated exactly what is in my post. So, go ahead and answer me there. Don't come here with comparisons that have nothing to do with what was actually written. I respect you as much as you respect me. Regards.

BTW it isn't hard to admit a mistake, even if it was accidental.

Look, with this massive influx of Christian warriors lately, the moderators are too scared to actually do their jobs properly—so stuff that would get you a permanent ban on other subforums gets a slap on the wrist here. Since I tend to argue at whatever level my opponent is playing at, I somehow end up getting handed warnings way too often. It’s like some troll gets a free pass just because they're "new," while I, a total forum veteran, don't get any leeway at all. For example, I get flagged for being insulting just because I suggested someone was being dense—which, honestly, leaves enough room for error that maybe I just misunderstood them—yet certain Christian trolls can spout blatant hate speech without even getting a warning, let alone a ban for trolling or being hateful. I guess the mods just don't have the guts to hit them with the permanent ban button. Poor things.

By the way, they actually suggested me for a moderator position once before, but the forum admins shot me down. There were two main reasons: first, I probably would've been way stricter than the current crew—and second, since I'm not a Christian, those Christian fanatics would've probably gone absolutely ballistic.

Moderation around here is getting pretty chaotic—honestly, despite that huge number of declared moderators we're supposed to have, there are really only two, maybe three people actually doing anything. It’s dragging the whole Religion section right back to how things used to be on the old forum when Pollux was running the show—and let's be real, he barely had any time to properly moderate half the site anyway.

All of this is exactly why I walked away from Religion—I just don't have the patience to deal with a bunch of trolls who get slapped with nothing or tiny little warnings, while I end up taking disproportionately massive penalties. When that last moderator chewed me out, I didn't even bother appealing it, but let’s be real: it was pretty obvious that the Christian moderator didn't even give my Christian interlocutor a yellow card, even though they weren't acting any more politely than I was.

Look, I’ve got plenty of issues with how the Religion section is being moderated—including a certain level of subjectivity that rowdyhawk10 actually admitted to me in a private message—but I can tell you for sure that the problem isn't anything mentioned in those first three massive walls of text.

My responses were directed toward @PIP Boy 2000 and that specific handle. Your citation is nothing more than trolling, because you aren't actually naming the people who hate you. If they are present, name them. If you are talking about someone who isn't even here, that's even worse. Your entire argument has devolved into claiming this wasn't aimed at me, while ignoring everything else I wrote in the Comics section. I see you skillfully dodging the question. As for the off-topic post, it's perfectly clear that it answers the original question from the start of the thread. Go read the Comics section. Best regards.

@shady claimsI maintain that these protesters aren't actually complaining about moderator bias. We have asked them repeatedly: "give us specific examples of how we've treated you unfairly"—and they haven't provided a single shred of evidence. This isn't about fairness; it's about their religious friction with certain moderators... specifically Nicole James and myself. They are trying to pressure us into appointing someone else as a moderator. Someone who isn't a "Muslim" or part of the DIO group, for instance. And when a Muslim becomes a member of DIO, they lose it.

CLAIM - PROOF - ... this is how I operate

Where exactly is the proof for your claim that I ever wrote something like that? Honestly, I have nothing to say to that.

I work from dawn until dusk, and right now I am on vacation. I don't even have my own email; I just registered through my daughter's account. I come back here to find my posts deleted, and now I face these unbelievable accusations.

@shady I was moved to tears yesterday because of you all. The way you deleted my posts was completely inappropriate. By erasing them, you have distorted the entire discussion regarding Christian prayer. I laid everything out clearly in the topic threads. I had no idea this is what I would be reading here now. I requested an urgent correction and for the posts you deleted to be restored. You did it for reasons known only to yourselves.
The question is asked: Do Christians pray to demons and Satan? My answer: No. One does not pray to Homo sapiens—to humans—and demons and Satan are not human. On this subject, people continue to mock exactly what you claim not to believe in. In your own words, you don't even understand the topic. By deleting posts, anyone visiting this section of the forum gets a false impression. You delete posts that objectively prove opposing views just to defend what is sacred to you but not to others. As you admitted yourself, you don't understand the subject matter you are moderating. I believe it is time for you to step down, because through unconsciousness and ignorance of the subject, you are forcing us to doubt your objectivity.

I am not sure if this post will result in a warning, but if it does, I wear it with pride.
