How is that even possible?? The question is dead simple... am I actually allowed to call people on this forum stupid or idiots without getting banned?? Is it seriously unpunishable like the moderator told me??? I want an answer to that first and foremost.. I can easily drop a link to show you what I'm talking about, but I need to clear this up first..

here are the links to those two specific posts...
Otherwise, there's really no point in having this discussion.

I was just looking for a straight answer, but man, it's a ghost town in here.🤷I didn't want to bring up the mods until I got an actual response... I honestly can't believe nobody can jump in and answer a direct question. Like, is it actually okay to call people idiots or tell them they're stupid without getting flagged? Because that’s basically what I was told by the moderator...

rowdyskipper28 said:I mean, what happens if some moderator or an admin actually steps up and tells us whether we can call people idiots or just plain stupid?

Hopefully they will

rowdyskipper28 said:Honestly, you should just get on good terms with Anderlon... 🤣
Then you could easily land a spot as a moderator or even an admin...

The possibilities are endless! 🤣

oohhh 🤣

Alex Cook said:Everyone knows he’s an admin running incognito. Get real.

Alright, thanks for the tip.😁

Alex Cook said:He’s basically just hanging out with Carlos.🙂

I mean, as far as I know, he isn't even a moderator.😕

rowdyskipper28 said:Mods are supposed to be neutral...
The government should focus on the minimum wage...
Peace should rule the world...
🤣🤣

Look, everyone knows how this works—you basically have to suck up to a mod so they’ll look the other way when you start acting out in their subforum.

My advice? Just get on the admin's good side... 😁
Then it just turns into a power struggle...

One person pulls the "but the mod said" card...
And then you counter with the admin... Do you feel lucky, punk? Do you... 🙂
😁

🙏🙏Got anyone you can recommend to me?🤣

Sarah Foster said:I just can't stand it. Honestly, they shouldn't be allowed to do that because everyone—every single part of society—has to follow the Constitution, and that includes this forum right here.
Otherwise, they're basically breaking the law.
That goes for snooping through private messages too—this specific one—because that's a straight-up invasion of privacy.
Actually, it's even worse than that; it's a serious crime. 👎
And don't even get me started on protecting kids from inappropriate content. 😉

Let's see what the mods on this board have to say about all this...

Anthony Jackson2 said:Unlike you, I actually hit that report button, especially if someone’s being rude for no reason. I’d never bother replying to stuff like that, though—I just refuse to sink down to some idiot's level.

Also, heads up: send complaints like this to the admin via PM next time. Posting them here isn't gonna get you anywhere.

Thanks, man. Good to know. Honestly, in all my time on this forum, this is only the second time I've ever reported anything, and the first time it was actually about me... once before, I flagged some racist comments, but they weren't directed at me personally.

I dunno, I just never bothered reporting people before. But now I'm kinda curious—am I actually allowed to call someone an idiot? Because man, I'd love to drop that on a few people. If it's not against the rules, then hey, I might just do it.

Sarah Foster said:Wait, isn't calling someone stupid or an idiot considered an insult?
And if I were to call a moderator a stupid idiot right now, wouldn't that be an insult too? 😲
Man, what some double standards.
Stupid and idiotic ones, at that. 🤣

Btw, calling someone an idiot or stupid is an insult—it's literally in the Constitution of the United States.
Basically, it's disparagement. 😉
Maybe they should look up the different types and classifications of insults, might save them some trouble. 🙄

hmm.. yeah.. good to know.. but hey, what do I know, maybe this forum just tolerates it.🤷

rowdyskipper28 said:Let me guess...
The moderator is playing favorites with the person who insulted you?

Well, if you look at the previous chats... they aren't on bad terms... actually, quite the opposite... but jeez...😲 Come on, don't think like that, mods are supposed to be unbiased, right? ugh...

Anthony Jackson2 said:this just goes to show that the mods aren't exactly the strongest part of this forum

But hey, maybe they actually are🤷

Maybe that’s just the rule now and it’s allowed🤷

Man, I would never report someone. Honestly, I've never even reported an insult or anything like that, but I still ended up getting punished. I was actually being harsher than the person who insulted me, and yeah, I deserved it... but it makes you wonder, though—are words like idiot or "you're stupid" actually against the rules? Because if they aren't, then maybe I can get a little cheeky too...🤷

rowdyskipper28 said:Which moderator? 😁
I'm just wondering if she'd take it personally. 🤣

Whatever, doesn't matter... not yet anyway. If I'm actually allowed to call people idiots, then I've totally lost the plot, so there's really no point in even bringing her up.

P.S. hit me up on Facebook

Laura Phillips54 said:That is such a killer question! 😂

I am seriously dying to see what everyone says about this!

Me too. Honestly, if that’s how it works, I might just start making a list of users here to tell them exactly how much of an idiot they are. Then they’ll probably turn around and call me the idiot, but hey, the best part is knowing nobody’s gonna get punished for it. It’ll be total chaos in the threads—can't wait.

So, I’ve gotta know—can I just call someone an idiot without getting slapped with an insult penalty? Like, not just avoiding a fine, but totally dodging even a warning? Is that actually possible? Because apparently, it is.

Here's the deal: this one person called me an idiot out of nowhere, then went on about how we're all just stupid. I fired back pretty hard, and yeah, I earned my 45 points... totally deserved it. But they didn't even get a warning! Even though they started it, and even though they called me an idiot personally for no reason at all.

The moderator actually told me that calling someone an idiot or stupidisnot actually an insult😕 and said she wouldn't punish them. So, can someone please explain if that's really how this works? There are plenty of people on this forum I’d love to tell are idiots... so if they can say it to me, does that mean I'm free to go around calling whoever I want stupid or an idiot without any fear?

Is this some new rule I missed?
Seriously, someone please let me know so I know if I can start hitting up different subforums and calling everyone I can't stand stupid and an idiot.

mellowowl38 said:Then why don't you? He totally earned it.

Man, things have gotten pretty wild in the past... I almost lost my mind over those Red Star jerseys, and I mean that literally. Those Savulji guys? They’re something else—that kind of vibe only really hits when you're right there in the middle of it. But hey, I'm not about to start grabbing jerseys off kids at a crowded street market. Not happening.🤣And honestly? I don't even care anymore. It just pisses me off how people are always whining about Americans, only to turn around and start acting all provocative the second they actually get here. But whatever, that’s a whole different conversation for the political threads.

Richard Wilson4 said:Look, I hit up customs once in a while, and honestly, I end up in Borovo Neselje just as often as I head into D.C. It’s not like I have any buddies there or any business to attend to, though. But I'll tell you this—I've spotted a Red Star jersey maybe three or four times. Most Mexicans I know or run into are usually rocking Lazio or Inter Milan gear instead.

Wait, hold up, I don't get it?? I used to head down to the customs office back in high school too, but only for one year before the whole school moved over by the church. Since I was hitting up the train station every single day, I definitely saw those guys around enough...

Richard Wilson4 said:I haven't seen many of them, though. You won't find any in downtown Washington, D.C., and I heard there aren't many out in the suburbs either...

Maybe in some high schools over in the Mexican neighborhoods... 🤷

Man, I already told you when you asked where to find that other spot for jersey patches! It clicked for me because I saw some kid running around in a Red Star jersey. Honestly, you could probably find them at any local flea market if you look hard enough. And don't even get me started on those Inace Savuljci guys—seriously, what a joke.🤣

Man, back when I was in high school in Cleveland, those guys were everywhere. You’d see them at every turn, especially hanging around the train station or crowded onto the buses. And honestly, those Mexicans from Sotin were on a whole other level—they were constantly decked out in Red Star jerseys.🤣

Richard Wilson4 said:So what if it’s happening now?

From what I've seen, just drop a smiley face and leave a comment...

It's kinda weird though😁 From what I can tell, Inace Savuljci and everyone else have been obsessed with Inter Milan jerseys for ages. Seriously, it feels like every other person there is rocking that jersey.😁😁Have you noticed that?

blueridge32 said:I just saw a bunch of people rocking Lazi's jersey over in Cleveland... What's Mike up to now? Honestly, I think Bokšić had a pretty solid run at Lazi too.

Why does "fakat" even have a specific meaning? Seriously, what's the deal with that?

Oh yeah, there's plenty...

Richard Wilson4 said:Basically, Mexicans were all about Lazio back when Stanković and Mihajlović were playing there, then they moved on to Inter...

A lot of them wear Juventus jerseys just because of the colors, but you see Americans wearing them too...

Honestly, it’s one thing, but man, whenever I see someone walking around in a Red Star jersey, I swear I lose it. I get so heated, I just want to rip it right off them. Seriously.😁😁

mistyjackal842 said:My grandmother used to have this walker that really helped her get around. It had these flexible joints, though it didn't actually have any wheels on it. I don't think I ever heard of anyone sitting in one of those things, either. It’s really just meant to be used for support while walking.

So, I actually have a car seat with me, even though they told me it’s not really meant for sitting in right now. It's more like... you know, if things get too intense or if you start feeling all dizzy and just need to sit down for a second.

Nicole Grant7 said:My husband’s grandma uses one of these and she absolutely loves it. You can sit right on it, and there's this basket tucked under the seat where she can toss her essentials—kind of like those shopping carts you see at Target—so she doesn't have to carry everything in her hands. Plus, the handles on the walker actually have brakes built in for when she's heading down a hill. It’s basically just like the ones in those ads I sent over.

Yeah, you nailed it—it's called a walker.👍

Sam Hughes5 said:If you're hanging around New York City, I actually just spotted a 50% discount over at the Williams-Sonoma on Broadway for that walker, so if you’re in the neighborhood, you should definitely go take a look

Alright, I just placed my order. It's coming from wherever the closest spot is to me in Omaha right now.

That's it, right there. Honestly, it’s basically just like the one in Buffalo.

If you're looking to make life a little easier around the house, you’ve gotta check out these mobility aids. Honestly, sometimes even the simplest tools can be total game-changers when things get tough. Whether you're dealing with limited movement or just need an extra hand staying steady on your feet, there's a whole world of gear out there designed specifically for that. I was browsing through some options, and things like walkers and rollators aren't just for "old people"—they're about keeping your independence. It’s all about finding that right balance between support and being able to move around without feeling like you're stuck in slow motion. If you or someone you love is struggling with stability, don't sleep on these tools. They really do help take the stress out of just getting from point A to point B.

Thanks so much for all the help, everyone!👍

Hey there!

Not sure if I’m posting this in the right spot, so if I’m totally off base, mods, please feel free to move this over...

So, I’m looking into walkers for seniors. But not just your standard basic ones—I heard there’s actually this specific type of walker that doubles as a seat? If anyone could drop a link where I can order one of those, I’d seriously appreciate it. Honestly, any help at all would be huge right now.

Thanks in advance!
