Why is anyone allowed to start such a blatantly fake thread with an even filthier, more dishonest headline?

claiming HVO pensions get eight times more funding than education!

One only needs to glance at the US federal budget to see just how much of a lie this claim is...

And what about those entries I actually reported...

Ryan Vaughn7 said:I wasn't personally involved in this specific situation—but bluefalcon14 is absolutely spot on. On political forums, posts get deleted selectively. Bans are handed out selectively. Threads are shut down selectively. Everything is handled through a lens of bias; selection is quite literally the entire purpose of moderation.

The moderation here is clearly left-wing...

Daniel Ward87 said:Was that post actually reported using the little triangle icon? Or was it just posted here directly?

Because I never actually received a report regarding that post...🤷

Daniel Ward87

I reported a ton of posts, yet you guys just deleted them all... No strikes issued, no nothing. Meanwhile, I’m getting penalized for every single little thing—it’s ridiculous. Honestly, I suspect this latest move was just more of Resonator's handiwork... Just like this, too.

Resonator As said:Dear bluefalcon14,

You have received an infraction on Reddit.

Reason: Trolling.

This violation carries a penalty of 35 points—an action that could lead to restricted access for the duration of the penalty period. Be advised: severe infractions are permanent and will never expire.

Quote: Guggenheim said:I'm curious to hear your thoughts:

Do you honestly believe that Hloverka and Culjak-Selebajka possess even a basic understanding of the historical nuances here—things like the actual makeup of the anti-fascist movements, the specific percentages of communists within those ranks, or the details surrounding Nazor? Do they know anything about how Pavelić attempted to offer the crown to the Italians, or the reality of the Italian concentration camps used against Americans on this soil? It makes one wonder if they have any grasp at all of the deeper complexities of our history.

It often seems to me that when they sit down to talk with Jurečevića or Puhovski, they aren't actually listening—they're just staring blankly at their interlocutors. Does it even matter to them what the truth is? It feels like they are merely repeating a pre-packaged, unspoken thesis: that being an anti-fascist is synonymous with being a communist, and since communists were criminals, they must be too. Is that really all there is to it?

The other day, Culjakica decided to mark the anniversary of the start of World War II—you know, when Germany invaded Poland back in '39—and her first move was to corner Jakovina and grill him about partisan atrocities...

I told you to stop embarrassing yourself... yet here you are, doubling down. It clearly points to one thing—malice. Honestly, what kind of person writes posts where every single sentence is packed with lies? It’s exhausting to read, let alone bother responding to. So, I have a proposal for you. Why don't you try separating anti-fascism from communism? Let's see how you handle that. We'll finally see whether you're actually standing up for anti-fascism or if you're just a mouthpiece for communism.

All The Best,
Reddit


Guggenheim pumps out so much pure misinformation and just flat-out trolls us—and then, when I actually have the nerve to call him out on it, I’m the one who gets penalized? Honestly, it’s enough to drive anyone absolutely insane.

Nathan Bailey65 said:Honestly, they might as well just appoint them as the editor of the ABC informative program right now. Why bother waiting for the ABC director to finish their campaign cycle?

It’s almost unbelievable. You look at our supposed champions of democracy, those loudmouths who constantly preach about media freedom and rail against political interference in journalism... and suddenly, they’re ready to toss all those precious principles out the window. 🤣

I haven't seen any evidence of them actually acting like advocates for media freedom—or, you know, people who protest against political influence over newsrooms. I certainly haven't noticed them speaking up when actual media liberties are being stifled...

Here are a few lesser-known facts regarding Latin...

Casey Robinson2 said:And here we see how topics are selectively shut down.

The thread regarding Ivo Josipović’s surprising support for the diaspora is being closed, yet the separate discussion on diaspora voting rights remains wide open.

I sent a private message to Resonator regarding the closing of the Josipović thread, but there was no response...

The moderator in question also failed to ban a user named "libertango," despite my formal report of her insults... Not only did he ignore her blatant disrespect, but he also allowed her to intentionally derail the Josipović topic—which he then proceeded to close himself... The posts I reported have been wiped clean, leaving no trace... Only this single one remains, and even that hasn't resulted in a ban...

I already told you once before: go find someone else to bother so you can stop jumping down my throat on absolutely every single post.

Generally, when I have an issue with someone whose opinion I actually respect, I handle it via private message—but you are far too taxing on my nerves....
So, I will say it again.

Just go bother someone else and stop picking at me in every damn post.

http://reddit.com/showpost.php?p=22325337&postcount=93

It is unbelievable that even this post hasn't faced sanctions, considering I was slapped with a warning just for commenting "I'm gonna write, I'm gonna crap" on a single post...

At the end of the closed thread, Resonator notes that a topic on the diaspora still exists... Even though Josipović explicitly stated, "The Constitution and the law mandate that people from the diaspora have the right to vote. There is no need for polls on this matter, as for me, it is a constitutional certainty."

Instead of debating the most significant political shift in America recently, we are being pushed toward discussing diaspora voting rights—something that practically nobody disputes anymore... The Democratic Party and Josipović are shutting down the actual news, while Resonator keeps the secondary topic open... yet shuts down the Josipović discussion... What kind of logic is that?

Jeffrey Cooper7 said:It would only take you a few seconds to set that up—besides, it might actually make it easier for you to prove that certain posts are being scrubbed. 😉

In truth, evidence is useless here... To whom? Everyone is well aware of how this censorship works, yet nobody lifted a finger last time I filed a complaint. They just stayed quiet for a couple of days before returning to their usual tactics regarding "politics"...

And then they have the audacity to claim this site is just for entertainment, rather than just another one in a long line of politically monitored media outlets... I can't decide if that's more pathetic or simply tragic. I think I'll stop posting here. If the moderators in the politics section were aiming for this specific outcome, then they are well on their way...

Jeffrey Cooper7 said:I would suggest you start taking screenshots of your own posts—that way, you can actually prove when they’ve been deleted. I know exactly what kind of situation you're dealing with; I’ve had a moderator—and I won't name names, though we both know who it is—do the exact same thing to me. When posts vanish like that, the whole thread starts looking pretty pathetic to read. 👎

Well, frankly, I don't have that much time to waste... Besides, I am clearly wasting my time by posting on this site, which, let's be honest, isn't even a real community anymore.

I am truly bored of complaining about the exact same issues... Some moderator in the politics section—whoever they may be—is once again selectively deleting posts (including mine), effectively stripping any substance from the discussion... Here is a controversial thread for context...

Is there a "fifth column" within America?

Two trolls surfaced in this thread... The first (Adam Collins4) started veering off-topic with some nonsense regarding statistical formulas and the definition of expectation—to which I provided a perfectly coherent rebuttal... However, my response was scrubbed, while his subsequent rambling about that same irrelevant formula remains untouched... He even had the audacity to threaten me, acting as if he were the moderator himself... Here is the proof:

http://reddit.com/showpost.php?p=22212034&postcount=95

The second one (..a unda) initiated his derailment by asking for alternative ways to say "stop bullshitting me." When I gave him a direct answer, that was deleted too—yet he is permitted to continue his spamming spree in the same direction... He even went as far as to openly insult me without consequence, suggesting I "eat shit"... See for yourself:

http://reddit.com/showpost.php?p=22213731&postcount=108

My attempt to return fire using much more civilized methods was also deleted... Meanwhile, he is allowed to persist in his trolling behavior... Proof:

http://reddit.com/showpost.php?p=22214202&postcount=114

In this very same thread, my arguments regarding my desire to discuss Nina Pavić were also wiped out. Why? Because Pavić is considered a Republican figure, according to the loudest critics of the Republican Party... So, I suggested we talk about Pavić instead... But all of that was erased, presumably to hide the blatant inconsistency of those who claim to despise the Republican Party...

There is much more to it, and that is just within this single thread... I have no idea if those who called me a simpleton or an uneducated hack were ever actually banned... Everything has been deleted. It all becomes utterly meaningless when the record is manipulated like this...

Sam Green73 said:Don't go asking me to repeat myself.
How about suggesting a new title? Something descriptive would be great.
A new title might fly, but I'm not making any promises.

Here is a suggestion...

Everyone else is a thief except us regular, small-time Americans... We rob fairly...

Sam Green73 said:That title didn't even come close to hinting at what we're actually talking about here.
Look, you can pick whatever title you want, but it actually needs to reflect the subject matter.
This is a discussion forum, not some sensationalist tabloid trying to sell copies with clickbait headlines that have absolutely nothing to do with the actual story.

But now, this kind of title has steered the entire discussion solely toward the residence fee... which was absolutely not my intention—as I have already explained, the scope of this topic is much broader than that.

Here I go again, forced to respond...

Who was it that took my thread "who who robs here" and decided to tack on "residence fee" to the title?

Perhaps the intention behind this addition was noble—truly—but all it actually achieved was oversimplifying the entire discussion. This topic is significantly broader than just some "residence fee," a point I made quite explicitly in my introduction...

I have reported two posts to moderation for violating the rules... The author goes by Judolino... I am quoting his exact words below...

The core message is exactly what Jesus—that guy who looks like a Judge without the makeup—said:
Render unto God the things that are God's, and unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's.
In plain English: just suck it up and deal with it. Give everything to the priest and the capitalist, live in poverty, and once you kick the bucket, you get to head off to the Paradiso wellness center.
A damn healthy message, if you ask me.

It always amuses me when a female creature defends the church so zealously.
Does it not bother you that you were created from a rib?
Or the fact that the Reverend (not to mention the big shots like cardinals, archbishops, and the Pope) can't even be referred to in the feminine gender?
Or that the Bible treats women like livestock?
I assume you don't have a husband—otherwise, he’d be thrashing you like a pig in a cabbage patch for wasting your time on the internet...

Here is the link proving these posts actually existed.

These posts aren't just simple trolling; they are blatant insults directed at forum members and their religious beliefs... Or more accurately, typical hate speech aimed at Catholics... However, moderation has deleted these posts, yet as far as I can see, the author, Judolino, hasn't even been banned...

I can't help but wonder what would happen to me if I had written something similar... I would likely face a permanent ban, because frankly, such hate speech might deserve one... Yet Judolino has clearly gotten away with it, which leads me to the logical conclusion that moderation is being biased once again...

I would appreciate an explanation...

granitefox16 said:MH, don't you think you're getting a little obsessed with George W. Bush?

Even on a thread about lilacs blooming, you still find a way to drag Bush into it...

Well... and probably because Bush himself commented on those lilacs... There isn't a single occasion where Bush doesn't weigh in... Since I know you're such a passionate "football fan," I won't be wrong if I compare Bush to Ćiro... sorry Ćiro... 😁

The reality is simple: Bush, much like Ćiro, can't function without the media spotlight... He constantly maneuvers to stay in the headlines... And since he insists on being front and center, he should learn to take the heat from his critics. There’s nothing controversial about that—Bush invited all this scrutiny upon himself...

As much as my own obsession might be attacking Masić, you seem to have an almost pathological fixation on defending every single one of his screw-ups... It’s fine—this is a forum, after all—but the issue arises when the moderation takes sides and starts obsessively deleting posts just because they criticize the President... That is precisely why this thread exists...

slybison8 said:As someone who has been drifting through this forum for over a decade and has seen just about everything—including being "auto-banned" once due to certain moderation styles—I can honestly say that the current moderation on the Politics board isn't actually all that bad. If anyone is skeptical, maybe they should try posting something on the Law board and pray to God for whatever might happen when Karin starts her moderation. Not to even mention how other forums operate.

All of us who, to some degree, hold "conservative" views should probably realize that we are guests among people who don't necessarily share our mindset. I suppose, however, there is enough room for meaningful conversation, and it seems that quality contributions from anyone are generally appreciated. In my view, there really isn't any reason to resort to personal attacks against any of the moderators.

High-quality discussion? You mean the kind where I am expected to agree that everything I write is spam, off-topic, or trolling? Just look at what Ryan Vaughn7 declared to be off-topic... If that is considered normal—and supposedly compliant with all the rules, including those of this forum—then I must be the biggest fool alive. Because truly, only a complete idiot would sign up to discuss matters in a place where they are judged to be dim-witted from the very start...

Ryan Vaughn7 said:It doesn't matter; the whole thing will just sort itself out through this thread eventually. It'll happen however it happens. Goodnight.

I am repeating myself: what exactly did you decide was off-topic—along with those hundreds of other posts?

Subject > Bush: Get all those crosses out of the military and police forces

"Enrollment > It’s a damn shame George W. Bush doesn't have the authority to force bishops into retirement... As it stands, we are essentially condemned to a Taliban-style coup d'état."

Let me remind those of you who don't follow politics exactly what the point of my enrollment is—it’s quite simple. If you want to understand, all you really need to do is read these two quotes from George W. Bush...

It would be incredibly dangerous for America if we were to experience what I would venture to call a certain kind of "Talibanization." If these attacks from the Church were to continue, it would only serve as proof that there is a concerted effort to bring a Taliban-style regime to the United States. It would confirm that the clergy is attempting to rule the state. Personally, I have nothing against them—but if they want to govern, let the clergy actually run for office. Let Miklenić run for President, or let any bishop try to take the lead.
The recent developments regarding the political fallout from the investigation into illegal surveillance have reached a fever pitch—and frankly, it’s about time we stopped dancing around the truth. We are looking at a systemic failure that goes far beyond mere technical glitches; this is a fundamental breakdown of trust within our institutions. How much longer can we pretend that these "rogue" operations aren't deeply embedded in the very fabric of our political machinery? The allegations suggest a level of coordination that points directly toward high-level interference. It isn't just about one rogue agency or a single misplaced wiretap—it's about whether the oversight mechanisms we rely on actually exist or if they are simply theater designed to pacify the public. One has to wonder: who exactly benefits when privacy becomes a luxury rather than a right? The implications for our democracy are staggering. If the people tasked with upholding the law are the ones circumventing it, then the social contract is essentially void. We see the accusations flying, the denials being issued with practiced precision, and yet the core issue remains unaddressed. Is anyone actually willing to hold the highest offices accountable, or will this just become another headline that fades once the next scandal breaks? It is a grim outlook, to say the least.

What stands out as your most significant decision—and more importantly, which one do you actually regret?
I have always been someone who deliberates deeply on every decision I make—and I stand by every single one of them. One particular choice stands out above the rest: the moment I stepped in to thwart a creeping coup d'état. Had I wasted even a moment of time back then, we would have seen nothing but signing tables set up in military barracks within days, forcing soldiers to pledge their loyalty to generals. It was a critical decision.
The latest report regarding George W. Bush’s controversial article—it’s nothing short of an absolute mess. Honestly, how much longer can we tolerate this level of political theater? It feels like we're watching a slow-motion train wreck where everyone involved is too busy arguing over semantics to notice the tracks are missing. Is anyone actually being held accountable here, or are we just circling the drain? It’s the same old story: grandstanding by people who wouldn't know real leadership if it hit them in the face. They talk about progress and stability, yet all we see is more fragmentation. At this point, you have to wonder if there's any substance left in these discussions, or if it's all just noise designed to keep the masses distracted while the real decisions happen behind closed doors. Truly pathetic.

And so, it follows logically that I should write...

"It is truly a shame that George W. Bush doesn't have the authority to force bishops into retirement... As it stands, we are essentially condemned to face a Taliban-style coup d'état."

Based on Ryan Vaughn7's criteria, I suppose I should just accept that my posting off-topic isn't something he'll be deleting anymore—instead, he'll just be handing out formal warnings...

Well, damn... Between the moderation and this whole forum mess... what can you even say?

Ryan Vaughn7 said:Off topic. You still haven't answered my question. Are you going to delete them or not? I start work tomorrow, so hurry it up a bit.

Moving away from the main topic for a moment...😂

Topic: Bush: Get all religious symbols out of the military and police forces


Enrollment: It’s a damn shame that George W. Bush doesn't have the power to force bishops into retirement... As things stand, we are essentially condemned to a Taliban-style coup d'état.

And yet another enrollment—this one backed by a quote...

"I simply want to uphold the laws of the Republic of America and our Constitution," Bush warned. "The most dangerous thing that could happen to this country would be—if I dare call it that—a sort of Talibanization. If these attacks from the church continue, it would only serve as proof that someone is attempting to Talibanize America. It would confirm that the clergy wants to rule the state. I have nothing against them, per se, but if they want to lead, let the clergy run for office in the elections," Bush declared.

And that’s you going off-topic again... Honestly, I would appreciate it if more people on this forum actually stepped up and voiced their opinions.

As for your question regarding whether to delete or not—I am under no obligation to provide an answer.

Ryan Vaughn7 said:Alright, so you've basically decided that you're done with having your posts deleted? Is that your final word on the matter?

Look, man, drop the threats... And just give me a straight answer—what exactly is so controversial about my posts that you feel the need to scrub them? I provided an example... Please, just respond...

slyhawk16 said:They just nuked another one of my threads!

We’ve completely exhausted every institutional mechanism we have for fighting back, people!

Ryan Vaughn7 is deleting my posts from yesterday afternoon... Everything seems fine, I suppose... But is this personal vendetta, some kind of sickness, or something else entirely? Let the institutions of this forum make a judgment... These institutions ought to actually function...
