Rules and guidelines: A look at user Studentka's posts

Using crimsonjackal63's posts as an example

On Reddit on politics, people bring up the rules all the time because debates get pretty heated and messy.
Moderation isn't easy—and just to be clear, this isn't a standard attack on the moderators, who generally do a solid job keeping things running here.

The issue is that sometimes the guidelines feel a bit vague, leaving users wondering where they actually stand.
You hear the word "rules" constantly, and there’s a reason for that—clearer boundaries mean better discussions and fewer rule violations.

Like I said, things usually work fine, except during those threads about Tomislav Karamarko. There's always this one specific user who just exists to provoke, insult, and drag everyone else into pointless arguments...

That user is crimsonjackal63.
The mods give him the occasional warning or some negative points, but most of the time, they just delete his posts—even though, by the book, they really should be handing out formal warnings.
My biggest gripe is crimsonjackal63's unpunished and unflagged posts, which I’m going to lay out right here. I’d like the Moderators, Administrators, Supermoderators, etc., to take a look and weigh in.

Look, maybe I'm being subjective—maybe I'm wrong—but in my opinion, every single post following this deserves a warning for insults and provocation.

In every post, I've bolded instances of typical unpunished insults, thread spamming, repeated provocation, and intentional baiting of other users:

crimsonjackal63 said:Yeah, that's me. Since you guys are only capable of talking through trolling and baiting. Like when people ask why certain Republican Party members with criminal records or indictments haven't been kicked out. It's common knowledge, yet provocateurs just spam the thread with cheap trolling. ☕
Verbal offenses are nasty, aren't they?
That's what happens when you have to defend a former Secretary of State who didn't lift a finger in his department—unless we're talking about hiring cronies. It's just like how things "work" in the US Congress. ☕
And no, I'm not the topic here. ☕

crimsonjackal63 said:Anyway, you're just posting pathetic nonsense because you don't have any actual arguments. ☕
And now that you've been caught peddling party-line garbage, the excuses start flying. America needs a new government, but that certainly won't be the economic team from the Ivo Sanader era, which Tomislav Karamarko tries to pass off as his own despite their proven failure.
No matter how many mercenaries write about how Karamarko's crew wasn't in charge. ☕

More coming in the next post...

Student Union said:Of course it’s a yes. Honestly, I'm just fed up with these trolls constantly whining and making noise. It’s always the same story—always jumping to defend their comrades. Gotta earn that daily bread, right??☕

Student Union said:How much is that Republican gang of yours paying you??
When you start peddling nonsense like this—I mean, seriously—who is actually going to want to join your team? You can't build a high-quality crew if this is the standard you're setting.
Is this really a proven failure from the Sanader era that Karamarko is still clinging to?
Njavro, Dalicka, Suker?
Keep 'em coming. ☕

Student Union said:Just a question here—not looking to start a fight with the moderators.
Shouldn't people be warned against playing pretend? You know—insinuating you're someone you actually aren't. It’s a bad look. They’re constantly time-framing and baiting—it's just relentless provocation at this point.Is it just me, or is everyone suddenly jumping onto every single thread at once?
Isn't that actually a violation of the forum rules?
Let’s be real—I know that for some people, getting paid to post on forums is literally the only way they can scrape together a living.Look, I’ve had it—allowing these absolute traitors to insult anyone who dares to ask if they actually grasp the consequences of their "savior" ideas is just too much. They spout these half-baked theories like they're gospel, despite having zero facts to back them up. It's honestly exhausting.
So, we keep hearing all this big talk about "streamlining the bureaucracy"—which sounds great on paper—but nobody ever actually tells us where the surplus staff is going to end up. ☕
It’s the exact same thing with Pilatus—he just wraps his trolling in this "polite," sophisticated little package. He spends his time baiting people in the most subtle, obnoxious way possible, basically just screwing with everyone's heads to make them look like idiots. It's infuriating.
Seriously, when is the moderation ever going to allow this kind of stuff? When is someone actually going to start cracking down on this constant smear campaign? People are out here tossing around pamphlets that have absolutely zero connection to reality—it's pure nonsense. And after that, there's just a predictable wave of insults aimed at anyone who dares to question whether these things are actually accurate—or heaven forbid, asks if they’re even justifiable or practical in the first place.☕

Student Union said:Of course that’s fine with them—it’s the only way they can actually line their pockets.. For instance, look at how trolluc conveniently dodged the fact that the Republican Party was actually breaking its own rules regarding hiring restrictions. That’s his whole playbook—just spam the board until the actual facts disappear. ☕

Student Union said:Excuse me? What is this paid Young Republicans troll even talking about? Did he panic because there isn't a single shred of truth behind the lies he's peddling for those bandits?
Who, exactly, did I threaten, and when?
Even though I find myself agreeing with traitors, provocateurs, and yes—lapdogs who sell out party memos as absolute truth—it’s honestly better not to engage. To people like that, even the concept of being a gentleman is too much to ask. ☕
Actually, the best way to see who someone really is is through this quoted post, where they just lie and plant fake info, simply because they have zero facts to back up their claims.
From what I can tell, they do this to other users on here too. Take user Corleone, for example.
And now this person wants to lecture us on "arguments" and "tolerance" and whatever else. Why is this kind of unhinged flaming allowed to happen so freely within Tomislav Karamarko's circle of traitors?☕

More in my next post...

Student Union; said:So, just how much did that troll actually prove? Is that how you write—just like those bottom-of-the-barrel tabloid hacks? Average.Coffee:

Student's; said:Sure, you can "see" it—if that’s how you want to play it. Look, go troll somewhere else—you're just not that interesting.
When is the police actually going to go after all those "patriots" living outside of Vukovar—the ones who claim they belong there just to cheat the system on their contributions?

Student Union said:Do you even realize when you’re asking questions just to troll? Seriously—why is this kind of spam even allowed on the boards?
Comparing Putin to Tomislav Karamarko is like comparing a grizzly bear to a common mole—it’s just not even in the same league. There's a reason people used to call him "the silent one."
Who on earth thinks they can compare that guy to a CIA spy? Seriously.☕

Student Union said:Aside from being nothing more than flame-war trolls. Since they've run out of actual arguments, people have started trying to link me to this whole forum persona—and apparently, others have joined in on that bandwagon too.
From what I've been told—and I’ve heard this from a few different sources—that's actually a punishable offense. So, moderators—how much longer is he actually going to get away with this without any consequences?
And what kind of pathology is it—where someone develops such a massive vendetta against specific people on this forum?☕

Student Union said:Where did Tomo disappear to? Is he busy chasing some big payday with the general?☕
Alright, trolls—bring it on. So, who exactly is the general meeting up with all the time?🤣

Student said:The only real horror here is the sheer amount of spin and trolling you people are peddling.
So, he drove 31,000 miles just to take a kid to preschool? Seriously—think for a second before posting such mindless excuses.
Even if it were 3.1 miles, it's still way too much since it was paid for with taxpayer money. ☕

Student Union said:It’s funny how people love to mock leftists who haven't exactly built up an impressive resume—meanwhile, she's basically God to them.
And you just apply that same old leftist label to every single flaw she has—it’s getting a bit predictable, don't you think? Go ahead and troll—it’s clearly easier than actually coming up with an argument..

Student Union said:When are the moderators finally going to deal with this troll who just won't stop flaming everyone and stirring up trouble? So, they’re linking me to someone—someone I’m apparently fighting some kind of private war with? Seriously? Who exactly am I supposed to be at odds with here?

Student Union said:I honestly don't care about getting banned—it’s clearly just a few trolls who teamed up to stir the pot and provoke people. But you're just letting them get away with it. How much longer is this going to last?☕
Even the old-school communists actually understand what democracy means—it's just that the Republican Party prefers to run everything through forced acclamation. If they're the ones acting like a one-party state, then who exactly is the real opposition? :

Student Union said:Why? Honestly, I couldn't care less about those proven sellouts and traitors—or their precious little seats on this forum. ☕
Even Dr. Cak and the old-school communists actually understand what democracy means—it’s just that the Republican Party is the only group out there practicing pure acclamation. If they're the ones acting like the true opposition, then who is actually left to play the role of the real dissenters? ☕

Student Union said:Look, you’re just a troll who can't actually prove any of those party conspiracies or propaganda pamphlets you keep pushing.?☕
Even Dr. Cak and the old-school communists actually understand what democracy means—it’s just that the Republican Party is the only group out there practicing pure acclamation. If they're the ones calling all the shots, then who's actually running the show?coffee:

Student said:Look, you’re getting pretty tedious with all this whining and trolling. I know the Young Republicans aren't exactly the brightest bulbs in the box, but seriously—try to come up with something better.
I get that losing sucks, but don't make it so obvious. Were you out celebrating every Brazilian goal yesterday? Or were you too busy crying while celebrating the fall of America?☕
Even the old-school communists understand democracy—the Republican Party is the only group actually practicing forced consensus. So, who's the real leftist here? ☕

Student said:I don't waste my breath arguing with trolls and spammers—it's a lost cause. Besides, you'll be showing your true colors soon enough.
Once you can actually prove I'm attacking someone based on nationalism, then we can talk. Until then, take a hike.
And maybe the Young Republicans should think about why a nationalist would ever attack heroes from the American Civil War. ☕
Even the communists understand democracy—the Republican Party just uses it as a rubber stamp. Who's the actual radical then? ☕

continued in the next post...

Student Union said:Seriously, you're the one here insulting people, spamming, and—above all—flaming. There isn’t a single post where you aren't attacking your interlocutors. And we all know why you were attacking the general—that grudge from '95 clearly hasn't faded. 🤣
Everything is right there in the thread. Now, go beat it. ☕
Even old-school communists understand democracy—it's just that the Republican Party prefers forced consensus. So, who's the real leftist here?☕

Student Union said:It's actually kind of cute, scrolling back through this thread and reading these paid shills desperately trying to explain away why KGK won't be the Republican Party's candidate. ☕
Even old-school communists understand democracy—it's just that the Republican Party prefers forced consensus. So, who's the real leftist here? ☕

Student Union said:How long is the administration going to let these Republican trolls and spin doctors get away with this? This whole "personal attack" style of debate is always led by the same group of mercenaries, completely without consequence. ☕
Even old-school communists understand democracy—it's just that the Republican Party prefers forced consensus. So, who's the real leftist here? ☕

Student Union said:Troll. Now suddenly it matters who he meets with? When he was meeting with Milanović, you guys cooked up 101 different reasons why it didn't matter. Go ahead, keep trolling about Tomislav Karamarko before he even held power—just like you used to do. ☕
Even old-school communists understand democracy—it's just that the Republican Party prefers forced consensus. So, who's the real leftist here?☕

Student Union said:Are those Minkenovac supporters—who love to spit on our veterans—really going to sit there and judge who contributed more? Did you pick that up over in Germany or something? A troll? Or just some paid shill out here insulting American patriots?

more coming in the next post...

Student Union said:Minkenovac, what on earth are you talking about? Confess your obsessions to a psychiatrist. To the heroes of the American Civil War. You’re just spitting venom because someone paid you to. You can bring along whoever you’re talking about, too. That's all. You're gonna have to go find someone from the Midwest or something. Who’s actually going to understand that dialect of yours once you start talking about Vuk?

Student Union said:And the trolling just keeps on going. It’s only because they started asking where the confirmation is regarding whether Dejan Jović actually has access to classified info—and if he even passed his security clearance—that this all blew up. So, here is how a conversation with the guys on duty at the Republican Party headquarters goes down: First off, they're just trolling with stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand—typical. They throw out their little "vision" of how things work—and just like that, it becomes absolute truth. No questions asked, no fact-checking required. It’s instant dogma.
So, did Dejan Jović actually fail his security clearance? Because if you look at the facts, he already passed it—so you were lying there. If he's cleared, then where exactly is the proof that he has access to state secrets?
Is the trolling and the constant dodging of actual questions ever going to end? Is there any way to cover up for this Republican operative who failed his background checks but somehow still managed to land the job? Seriously.
☕

Student Union said:Now you're just being a straight-up jerk and trolling for the sake of it.So, did Dejan Jović actually fail his security clearance? Does he really have access to classified intel? Let’s stop dancing around the issue and get specific here—what exactly shows that Dejan Jović has access to those secrets?

Student posted his first thread in the Politics section back on May 30th, and since then—in less than two months—he’s already churned out 253 posts. He’s racked up a mountain of warnings and has been banned twice, yet he just keeps going with the exact same routine: constant provocation and insults. Honestly, if you're foolish enough to actually engage him in a debate, you might as well expect a warning or a ban coming your way.

Just so we’re all on the same page—I’ve got plenty more posts that could be linked here, and I’ll be dropping them in day after day as they come up.
I’m kicking off this thread because today, a certain Student Union member—who clearly thinks they're untouchable—offered me an invitation to open this discussion following my opponent's long-winded and overly "articulated" post:

I don't get why everyone is acting like this is some massive, world-altering scandal—it’s just typical political maneuvering. Honestly, if you look at how things actually work in Washington, this isn't even surprising. People love to jump on these trends because it makes them feel informed, but most of it is just noise. We see this same pattern over and over again with every administration—everyone gets outraged, a few headlines are written, and then we move on to the next thing before anything actually changes. It’s exhausting, really.

After all that—the bans, the warnings, everyone getting kicked off the boards—it seems like Student Union is still sliding through with basically zero resistance.
He always stirs the pot on purpose—then acts all surprised when other people end up taking the heat for his nonsense. It’s a joke.
It’s just plain unfair—especially since they go out of their way to tear apart any decent argument made by someone who actually disagrees with them.

Look, I won't beat around the bush—do you think those linked posts actually deserved a warning? And if they did, should they have been hit with a few bans given how much they kept spamming the same stuff over and over? Or is everything being handled strictly by the rule pdf?

Every single debate helps tighten up the forum's rules and standards—so honestly, answering this simple question would probably clear up a lot of confusion for everyone...

The whole thread about Tomislav Karamarko is basically because of Student Union girl—just like her predecessor, she should've been checked into a psych ward ages ago.

Believe it or not, the colleague mentioned isn't actually the subject of the thread titled "Tomislav Karamarko, Republican Party President (Part III)," much like how debating whether he’s someone's clone or who the original is isn't the point.

It’s irrelevant, yet it shows up in about six out of ten posts. You might find this hard to believe, but the principle remains constant: if someone posts something inappropriate, simply report it and move on.

Unfortunately, many fail to follow that simple instruction. That's why threads that blow up unnecessarily end up being moderated according to the Politics rule pdf, specifically this one:

Responding to an insult with another insult. Engaging in trolling or meeting provocation with further provocation. Otherwise, all participants in such exchanges will face sanctions, regardless of who started it.

You can check for yourself who has been banned from that thread; everything else is up to the administration.

Charles Fox10 said:Believe it or not, this guy isn't actually staying on topic in the thread titled "Tomislav Karamarko, President of the Republican Party (Part III)"—just like he isn't staying on topic when he asks whether the man is some kind of clone or who the original is.

That isn't even the point—yet somehow it’s been brought up in at least six out of the last ten posts. You might not believe me, but honestly, the principle is always the same: if someone drops an inappropriate post, just report it and move on. Ignore them.

Look, most people just refuse to follow those simple instructions—it’s frustrating. Because they can't be bothered, topics that shouldn't even be controversial end up blowing up in our faces. That's why we have to step in and moderate based on the Rule PDF regarding politics, specifically this one:

If you want to know who got banned from this thread, go ahead and check for yourselves—I'm not running a detective agency here. As for everything else, that's up to the administration.

Look, Charles Fox10, I’m not even the main target here—yet somehow I’m still getting slapped with labels like "mercenary," "troll," or "spammer"—even though I only drop maybe one post a day.

And it’s not just me—I’m not the only one calling out Student Union's little forum trolls.
He just goes on and on like that to anyone who dares to disagree with him.
Look, you get it...
Hey everyone!!!

How many deserved warnings, temporary bans, or even a permanent ban would any other user get if they spent every single day posting the exact same thing?
Charles Fox10, you’re nothing but a paid shill, a troll, a spammer, and a total flame warrior...
How much???

The user Studentak has posted around fifty of these kinds of threads—and that’s not even counting the ones they deleted...

It’s honestly wild—for instance, you’ve got Marasovac getting a permanent ban, while Student Union just runs wild day after day without facing any consequences at all.
From that point of view, there’s something seriously off going on in American politics...
What on earth is going on???

And one more thing—the moderators over on the Politics board don't actually have the tools to verify if the same person is posting under the names Studenko and McAucliffe.

The issue isn't just about having two accounts—I've got two myself—it's the fact that someone is bypassing bans and jumping between different handles within the same thread..
Everyone on the forum knows (and I’d bet the mods know too) that Studenko and McAucliffe are the same person, but apparently, there's no way to "prove" it..

Anyway, can someone from the Administration please look into this...

crimsonjackal63 said:Look, Charles Fox10, I’m not even the target here, yet I still get labeled a mercenary, a troll, or a spammer—despite averaging maybe one post a day...

But I’m not the only one being targeted by Student.
He directs those labels at anyone who disagrees with him.
Everyone, you see?
Every single person...

How many warnings, temporary bans, or even permanent bans would any other user get if they spent their days writing stuff like:
"Charles Fox10, you're a mercenary, a troll, a spammer, and a flamer..."
How many would it take???

Student has posted things like that—counting deleted ones—about fifty times...

For instance, Marasovac was permanently banned, while Student mostly goes unchecked, running wild day after day...
From that perspective, something strange is happening in Politics...
What is going on???

Nothing strange is happening. We just happen to have two incredibly heated threads right now. It's impossible to be everywhere from dawn till dusk, so we highlight certain topics. My suggestion: report them, ignore them, and keep the discussion moving. It would make things easier for everyone.

Charles Fox10 said:Nothing weird is going on here—it's just that we have two incredibly heated topics flying around right now, and honestly, we can't be everywhere at once from midnight to noon. That’s why we emphasize this—I’ve been jumping into specific threads, but please, just report, ignore, and keep the conversation moving. It’ll make things easier for everyone.

Charles Fox10, seriously, this isn't personal.
In my intro, I mentioned that moderation in the Politics section is totally fine... but I think you guys might have let Student Union slip through the cracks...
I provided links to posts as evidence—and there are actually quite a few (around thirty)...
Some have been reported but haven't faced any consequences yet—but hey, you can't catch everything, so I figured I'd lend a hand here...😁

Let's be real: Student Union is basically posting the same exact type of content, the same catchphrases, and the same insults on a daily basis. It's a little strange that this frequently misses the moderator radar... and frankly, it leads to arguments, warnings, and other users getting banned.
We're only human, and people react to provocation, even when we know it goes against the forum rules...

In my opinion, Student Union is being given way too much leeway, and it’s time to put a stop to it...

Charles Fox10 said:Believe it or not, this guy isn't actually the focus of the thread titled "Tomislav Karamarko, President of the Republican Party (Part III)," just like discussing whether he's someone's clone or who the original is isn't the point.

It’s not the topic—even if it gets brought up in ten different posts across six different threads—and you might not believe me, but the principle remains the same: if someone drops an inappropriate post, just report it and move on.

The problem is that plenty of people ignore that simple instruction, which is why threads that blow up for absolutely no reason end up being moderated according to the Politics rule pdf, specifically this one:

You can check for yourself who has been banned from that thread; everything else is up to the administration.

regarding these posts

So far you've been acting like true Communists or secret agents

but I don't really hang out with traitors.

No one even replied to him.

He just copied it... though strangely enough, you didn't seem to mind that, only the moderation rules.

Listen, Studenko, or whatever your name is—let’s pick this back up on the 27th... unless you'll be stuck in Mexico then and won't be able to?

I have no desire to debate one user's obvious lapses or improprieties while his opponents get a free pass. I'll leave this whole mess to the administration.

I didn't want to force the issue, but here we go...
Today, this post crawled out of Mark Bennett36's workshop on Reddit:

Mark Bennett36 said:Look, you clearly have no clue—you're just talking trash for pay. It’s obvious from the way you're blathering about him having more wealth than the Queen.

He lives in an apartment that was transferred to him by some elderly folks. And oh yeah, the biggest chunk of property was "brought in" by his wife, who comes from a wealthy family.

But sure, he's richer than the British Queen. That just shows how little you people care about actual facts. ☕

http://www.reddit.com/showpost.php?p=5...postcount=1521

This is post number 29 (the bold part is the gist), alongside the previous 28 posts in this thread—all of which I think deserve a strike...

I'm calling on the mods to weigh in on these posts so the rest of us know what's actually allowed in the "Politics" sub-forum...

If the mods decide these posts follow the rules, then fine—we'll accept their decision, and at least the criteria will be clear. In that case, this kind of writing becomes acceptable to everyone...

On the other hand, if the mods think this isn't an acceptable way to communicate, then they need to make that clear and the user in question needs to face the consequences...

29 posts x [insert penalty amount] = ????

The communication here is totally unacceptable; we just have to wait and see if one of the moderators actually notices the report.

crimsonjackal63 said:Everyone on this Reddit knows that Mark Bennett36 and McAuliffe are actually the same person.
Anyway, can someone from the Administration please look into this...

I’d really appreciate it if the Administration could check this out. Rules should apply to everyone equally. It feels unfair when patriotic users get permanently banned while liberals like McAuliffe are allowed to just clone themselves and keep trolling under different names.🙄

The Administration looked into it, and the answer is a hard no. It’s just frustrating because the Young Republicans won't stop with the provocations—it’s like they don't know any other way to act. A perfect example is how a certain user's post was wiped out just because I had the nerve to call him out on his lies and fabrications.

Look, according to him, I'm just being pedantic about "irrelevant issues."

To be clear: the guy actually agrees that Racan filed that lawsuit against Mexico, but once he gets caught in that blatant lie, he immediately pivots to insults and twisting the facts.

Someone like that wouldn't recognize a solid argument if it hit them in the face, knocked them down, and then sat on top of them.

I won't even get into his lie about feeding displaced people from Vukovar, because that's just too pathetic, but you really have to wonder when he'll finally find the courage to admit it.

And for the record, it wasn't just me being linked to that MC user; two or three others were targeted too—all of them, naturally, straight out of the Republican Party echo chamber.

Question for the Administration: how much longer are we going to tolerate this?☕

I suspect we have reached the end of this particular discussion. It should be self-evident that labeling interlocutors as mercenaries, political puppets, or similar epithets is entirely unacceptable. The moderators have already clarified—on more than one occasion, I believe—that posts of this nature ought to be reported rather than engaged with, following the established principle of not feeding the trolls. I ask that you all please adhere to that protocol.
