Proposal: Allow comments on threads in the ban corner

I’m scrolling through some threads in the ban corner lately, and honestly, it’s pretty easy to see how some of these moderators are being biased and just plain wrong.

But apparently, I hear you aren't even allowed to comment on third-party stuff in that subforum.

It’s a shame, because letting people weigh in would actually help make this forum more objective, fair, and reputable...

Take that one thread about "spreading lies against Islam." One moderator there is insisting a user is lying based on a specific link, claiming all their sources back up the lie—but I checked, and that’s just not true; some of those links actually support what the user was saying.

So why can't we provide actual evidence to debunk a moderator's claim if the person being called out can't do it themselves for some reason?

Otherwise, the PDF would just turn into an unreadable mess of professional nitpickers.

But this is how you get those moderator "responses" where they basically cave in, because they let threats intimidate them into backing down from the rules...

What can you do? Life isn't fair.

Though, life only seems unfair when things aren't going our way, right?.. 😳
Everyone's out for themselves, except for Mamic, apparently. 🧐

Either way, this is still better than the alternative.

They aren't biting because one single shaky setup isn't going to crumble just because a bunch of internet trolls show up with pitchforks and torches...

🙂 Our only real weapons are keyboards. Combined with a functioning brain, obviously.

Douglas Rogers45 said:If a moderator makes a claim that can't be challenged with solid reasoning, it begs the question: why isn't the person complaining able to prove them wrong themselves?...

Ovo:

By the way...

Please report any threatening posts...
