Complaint against the mod: total power trip

The moderators deleted posts from users who were hurling heavy insults at forum members and their families without even issuing a warning or a strike, yet they deleted my posts while giving me a warning.
If my posts warranted a warning, then the posts from everyone else deserved a full ban.
If we’re going to follow the rules strictly, fine—give me a strike for a post that might be considered borderline offensive. But then the moderators should hand out bans for posts and private messages that aren't just "offensive," but are blatant, direct attacks on both registered members and outsiders.
Otherwise, they should just come out and state it publicly—and update the forum rules—that the old guard is allowed to say whatever they want, including insulting newcomers and their families, while the newcomers are the ones getting censored.

Wait, what PDF are we talking about here? Which thread, and where are the links?

• Try to phrase your titles so it’s crystal clear who you're complaining about and why [PDF Name - Moderator Username - The Issue]. If you do it this way, the admins will spot your grievance immediately, which means you won't be left hanging for as long. In your opening post, please lay out the specific reason for the complaint with a bit of context, and don't forget to include direct links to the posts in question.

• If a thread is too vague and doesn't actually explain what the issue is, the mods won't be able to help you, and honestly, those kinds of threads usually just end up getting locked.

My apologies, here is the link (though I doubt any of you "experts" will actually learn anything from it)

Look, like I told you in our DM, you jumped into a thread where you have absolutely zero history just to stir the pot. You provoked everyone—and clearly, it worked, given the reactions from the rest of the board. In the end, all you got was a warning (so, zero penalty points).

As for who said what to whom in private messages or on other threads? Not my job to play detective.

As far as I'm concerned, we're done here.

I stepped up and suggested it would be far more intelligent to direct funds toward those truly in need rather than feeding scammers.
A fraudulent psychic—who masquerades as a spiritual guide just to profit from desperate people making phone calls—decided to insult me and my parents publicly. Not in private messages, but out in the open. I could easily retaliate by calling her family trash, but I won't. I’m certain I’d just get banned for doing so. She isn't banned. Besides, her parents aren't responsible for her choosing a life of fraud.
Of course, it's easy for you to dismiss this; otherwise, you'd have to admit you're biased and siding with her. Doing so would require a sense of self-criticism, an attribute found in very few people. Clearly, it isn't yours.

Another complaint about this moderator. It’s the same story, different players. Other women on here are constantly getting insulted by ivane1977. She’s the same person from that old tarot thread that got nuked. This woman has been obsessing over these kinds of topics for years, and she absolutely loses it on anyone who disagrees with her. This moderator didn't even blink when the reports came in.

She’s the same person from that old tarot thread that got shut down. This woman has been obsessing over these types of topics for years and absolutely shreds anyone who disagrees with her. And this moderator? Didn't even blink at the reports.

Hey! Look at little ivana1977 popping up in this thread!!!!!! Don't even bother talking to her! How much longer is everyone supposed to sit here and take her constant provocations and insults? This has been going on for years.

Good grief—who even are you? You’ve got maybe six posts to your name this year—four of which were deleted—yet you’re acting like the self-appointed moral police for every single thread? Are you some kind of bot? Because if you are, you’re already breaking the site rules.

I'll take "rude" if it means I actually get to have a life—and maybe step away from my computer and the internet for a weekend once in a while.

I'm being rude, so I'll allow myself to actually have a life and step away from my computer and the internet for the weekend.

Give me a break. Who do you think you are, policing what ivan1977 can or can't say? He’s out here swearing, picking fights, and constantly attacking users, and you're acting like his hall monitor. Why do you even care how many posts I have? Prove I'm a clone or shut up. Clearly, I don't give a damn about other threads; I only care about this one. Imagine that.
