Back in 2004, I was already deep into exploring magic and mysticism when I 😲 started a thread with its original title:

I Ching: The Perfect Binary Hieroglyph—Or, When the Tao Whispers.

That thread stayed active for five years, and in all that time, not a single moderator ever had an issue with the title.

Then, out of nowhere and without any explanation, the moderator dustyharbor18 went ahead and changed my title to something much more basic and, frankly, banal: just "I Ching." 🙄

I asked if they could please restore my original title—since it hadn't bothered anyone for half a decade—but I didn't get anywhere.

Another moderator, Luiz, actually stepped in and temporarily reverted it back to my original version,
but then dustyharbor18 changed it right back again.

On that note, does anyone happen to have links or names for the site administrators? I'd like to file a formal complaint regarding this unnecessary title change.
(I’ve never been one to run to the admins, but this level of moderator overreach is just getting ridiculous.)

I asked to have my specific title restored since it didn't bother anyone for five years, but it was useless.

The moderator Luiz temporarily restored my original title,

I also want to know if anyone can provide links or names of administrators I can contact to file a complaint regarding this unnecessary title change.
(I've never complained to admins before, but this moderator's arbitrary behavior has gone too far.)

Reddit really can't do anything when it comes to major issues like this.
Maybe you should reach out to the Ministry of Culture in Taiwan.
Or maybe Hu Jintao personally? He'd probably welcome you—because—
calling that book just "I Ching" is truly banal.

Maybe as a reward for coming up with such a "genius" title, you'll get a few acres in the Gobi Desert where everyone who thinks your poetic expression isn't genius will be deported. Who needs a few acres—take the whole desert!

dustyharbor18,
come on, for the love of God, just give him back that "original" title—seriously, if nothing else, do it for that one bubbly blonde who shows up at your door with her neon nails and enough makeup to paint a house, always flashing that bright smile whenever you actually bother to open the door for her. there’s really no difference between her and our buddy hiddenpuma75, except he does all that nonsense in a way that's just a bit more sophisticated and uniquely his own.
so,
just open the door for hiddenpuma75. 🙂

(solid argument, right? 🤣)

look, please, for my sake, just give him back that "original" title. If nothing else, do it for some flashy, heavily made-up blonde with bright red nails and heavy makeup who shows up at your door smiling, and you always let her in. There isn't really a difference between her and our friend hiddenpuma75, except he does it all in his own sophisticated way.
so,
just open the door for hiddenpuma75. 🙂

(Good argument, right? 🤣)

Are you trying to say hiddenpuma75 is actually a drag queen? 😲 If that's not obvious enough, maybe I should put on some heavy makeup and leave the bathroom door wide open for him since he’s apparently dealing with some stomach issues lately. 😛

Hey.

(By the way, I’m the admin. Over the last few days of this digital meltdown, an admin has already stepped in to tell you what we think about your complaints. You haven't been banned yet, but you will be if you pull another stunt like this)
