Anyone know a pilot... or a moderator in an airplane PDF religion?

I was just wondering—is there actually a moderator on board for that flight?

It’s pretty obvious why there's no fix coming. They just aren't doing a thing about the insults being thrown at members or the reports being filed... Honestly, it's frustrating!🤔

The pilot is totally MIA. He’s just letting the autopilot run while the passengers go absolutely wild.🙏

It looks like nobody is moderating this place, and honestly, it feels like no one even cares.

If this keeps up, being offensive is going to become a two-way street. You can't exactly "turn the other cheek" when people start attacking your faith.

It’s getting pretty obvious that some subforums are taking themselves way too seriously
—honestly, it’s a bit much—while others just seem to have absolutely zero sense of gravity
.

Since there’s still no sheriff in town, I guess that means the law has officially left the building, leaving the gunslingers to make up their own rules on the fly.

With nothing but our small-caliber revolvers tucked into our belts, we’ve basically been forced to look out for ourselves...

🙂

Long Live anarchy!

I don't want to clutter things up by starting yet another thread, but apparently, I can't even shoot Terry Barnes7 a private message

The guy follows me all over this damn forum just to tell me how much he can't stand me—and honestly, he’s been acting like this forever 👎

It’s more than just that, though. People are straight-up being insulting now on a regular basis.

A handful of handles—probably just clones, if you ask me—are acting like total jerks at a dive bar, and even some folks who used to be decent have lost all their manners once they realized they could get away with it.

This guy follows my every move on the forum, constant commentary about how much he dislikes me. It’s been his whole routine since day one. 👎

Have you blocked him yet?

Yeah, I blocked him. The guy was a total bottom-feeder. 😉

The Religion PDF is a total mess; I check in on a couple of threads every now and then, but honestly, the quality of discussion is so bottom-tier that I usually just stay away. We seriously need a mod to step in, lock that damn PDF for like two days to scrub all the nonsense, ban the clones, and then finally reopen it. There are some solid people in there, sure, but it’s constantly being flooded by clones just looking to spam.

Just like how Nica (who I love) slammed her fist on the table over at Alternative, she needs to bring that same energy over to the Religion section and slam it there too.

Even over at the Philosophy department, things have shifted. It’s much the same situation with Religion, though that particular atmosphere has been festering for over a decade now—but that is a long story for another day. Personally, I believe the moderators and the administration (both the old guard and perhaps even the current one) bear some responsibility here because they failed to take this specific sub-forum seriously. What started as a discussion space has devolved into a battleground of anti-religious propaganda on one side and defensive, apologetic theism on the other. It isn't anything groundbreaking; it has actually been this way for more than ten years. Many people have reached similar conclusions—perhaps some of them will see this and chime in.

I find myself wondering what the point of this entire section even is. Honestly, I would have pulled the plug on it yesterday. There is simply no reason to maintain a single sub-forum where every possible topic becomes a target for trolling, insults, and heated arguments. We are constantly dealing with high-tension situations, hotheaded debates, and extremists from every conceivable camp.

Honestly, the Religion sub is in the same boat, though that specific atmosphere has been festering for over a decade now—but that’s a whole other saga. In my view, the moderators and the admin team (both back then and likely this current lot) share the blame because they failed to take this PDF seriously. It has devolved into blatant anti-religious propaganda on one side, met by defensive, apologetic theism on the other. It’s nothing new; it’s been this way for ten years. Plenty of people have noted the same thing—maybe some will see this and chime in.

I find myself wondering what the point of this PDF even is. I would have pulled the plug on it yesterday. There is zero utility in maintaining a single document where every topic imaginable turns into a battlefield of trolls, insults, and endless bickering. It is just a magnet for high tension, hot heads, and zealots from every possible camp.

The mods are the ones at fault here if they aren't stepping in to stop the insults and trolling. Essentially, the issue lies with a moderation team that isn't doing its job.

And, of course, there is supposed to be some sort of oversight for them, too. Or at least, there ought to be. 😉

Where on earth did you crawl out from to lecture and lecture us here!
The pot is calling you black (your 'signature' and other similar nonsense), so you can't see reality?
