30-day partial payment release (02/01 - 03/01) - pdf Eurovision so I can comment on Dora

Casey Bennett said:Exactly. There are plenty of ways to keep a journal, whether you prefer old-school paper or a digital format.

I'm actually planning to launch a YouTube channel this February to talk about Dora and everything else involving Eurovision, all in English.

I'll send you the link 🙂

😂 Fantastic. If my memory serves me right, I received a similar warning ages ago, though it was retracted immediately, so technically it doesn't count.

But look, since moderator Jeremy Johnson18 stated that moderator recommendations actually carry weight... why don't you try pushing for a pardon on his behalf?

Oh yeah, give that guy an Oscar already!! 😂 😂 😂

As for me—what kind of nonsense is this ban? Then I look up and my blood pressure hits the ceiling. He doesn't even moderate that section. And of course, I just get hit with canned responses.

One of the first things I suggested when I stepped up to mod was that people try taking a slightly different approach with you. Honestly, I thought it was just an issue with the politka side of things.
Obviously, that didn't work and I just ended up looking like a naive idiot, but I'm glad you and Andreja are on good terms now.

So, it actually works after all. 👍

The team knows what they're doing, and they do it pretty damn well.

I didn't quite catch how you're whining in the chat of a different subforum instead of staying here on ours.🙂

We had this brutal start where everything just escalated out of nowhere, and then we basically settled the whole mess with one exchange: "Can we just wrap this up?" — "Fine."

and it feels 🙂

You think 😁... personally, I can offer a reasoned rebuttal that they don't always hit the mark.

But one must account for the other side of the coin, which remains conspicuously absent from this discussion.
Even two sand mandalas created from the exact same pile of sand can end up looking entirely different.

I mean, it still doesn't make sense why some outsider thinks they can just swoop in and lecture everyone. Every single sandbar has its own weird little quirks and complex dynamics that you just wouldn't get from the outside.

Look, I’m not trying to lecture you; this is merely a suggestion, though if you disagree, that is perfectly fine by me. My point was that one should state their position clearly. However, since you have already lost your way and been effectively sidelined, it is obvious that anyone can stumble now and then, isn't that right? You are acting like an inquisitor here, regardless of whether you are technically correct.
Now, don't get me wrong—I am not complaining—but looking back through the lens of my own personal growth, everything becomes quite clear... both then and now, after several years have passed.
I wrote a few things regarding Larry Walker24's side of things; I recall he was muted quite often on threads where I also participated, and while I don't post much, his contributions were actually quite solid... rather pleasant to read, in fact.

Regardless of Larry Walker24's past track record, perhaps some people could learn from engaging in dialogue with those who are called out, instead of just doing the mods' heavy lifting for them... consider that a little bonus tip.
But instead, those being called out simply remain silent...

Just when I was about to cast my vote in favor of calling for a snap election, I stumbled upon this thread. Honestly, there’s no point in pushing for an early election right now. If anything, we should be looking at holding them for the PZK too. This whole discussion could probably just be locked—I mean, even all the news anchors on CNN and Fox News are finally on the same page about this.

Following the required formal correspondence, you have arrived late to the table, Ryan Taylor4, missing several days regarding the matter at

Had you bothered to read from the very first post, you wouldn't have felt the need to chime in. I fail to see where the difficulty lies—is it the speed of typing? Or perhaps glancing at a "prophet"... there was one here, lacking even a broom, who refused to believe my words.
It would have been wiser to remain intelligently silent... (though I am certain this will be used against me)

At best, you'll get some low-effort copy-paste nonsense, while SHE won't even bother showing up in your thread.

My contribution to your response: you simply do not possess musical taste {your signature} (though taste is subjective, good and bad exist regardless) — speaking as a former club DJ, music editor, and sound engineer.
At first glance, it is surprising that you serve as a moderator for the media section, but when I consider the current state of our outlets, it becomes clearer. I only hope this wasn't a choice you made under duress.
Freedom of speech and thought is reasonably guaranteed here, and many high-quality moderators find their entertainment on this platform.

Regarding the discrepancy over the scale's calibration—as if they would just "let it go"—you are the deciding factor, the sole individual standing in the way, and now, suddenly, because of you, no one else will or can act. Are the others truly that submissive?
Could you please elaborate on what offended you so deeply? As far as I am aware, there ought to be a consensus.
And at five in the morning, no less? ... Just so we don't have to open a "new" thread. I am conducting a study, so I would appreciate your statements, given that you are an original, undiscovered specimen.

In reality, the criminal records of hardened felons are wiped clean... after a certain period of time.

ps cmon

So, Jerry Robinson56, you honestly think logic is going to get us anywhere in this place? 😬

shock and awe

You people should be embarrassed. You show up now—after four entire threads and years of silence—claiming that *now* is the moment you could have swayed my vote? And from a PDF Eurosong account where I have zero posts and absolutely no stake, personally or otherwise? If you actually gave a damn about users (any user, even a hated manchild like Larry Walker24), you might have sent a single supportive DM over the last few years. But nope, nothing.

And what’s your vote even worth if Casilda is the only one running the show? Someone I wouldn't even bother visiting here just to tell them to beat it.

Anderlon is the only one who actually acted like a human being by giving me a decent reply after I politely thanked him.

Thank God you guys don't moderate this place, because then you'd actually have some kind of influence.

I stand by every single word I've typed. Seriously, shame on you.

At the Supreme Court, a case moves forward if the majority votes for it—they always make sure to note how many people disagreed. But here, the big-shot mods act like they all have to reach a total consensus on everything, as if it's some divine decree. Like the user should just be grateful to receive their little scraps of mercy.

Manchi, I’m going to give you a straight answer here, so try not to take it personally.
It isn’t about the moderators; it’s just that nobody over there wants you around. It's not even just a dislike—it's active opposition from everyone. We aren't talking about a couple of people or a small group, but everyone. Even if Casilda left tomorrow, your partials wouldn't be removed because the entire PDF would revolt against it.
If someone asked me to remove a partial, but their request went against what the whole PDF was pushing for... I wouldn't do it, and honestly, neither would you if you were a mod.
You claim you don't care what they think, but a moderator simply can't, and shouldn't, act that way.
There are other options available if you want to write about Dora, and I think that's fair. Forcing yourself into a space where you aren't welcome is just unreasonable, and frankly, it only makes you look worse.
Feel free to freeze me out after this, but that’s just the reality of the situation, Manchi.

Larry Walker24 put so much effort into trying to get his partial parole approved, yet you all refuse to even give it a second thought.
Have any of you even considered the possibility of executive clemency? A final chance? A judicial review of the case?

I’ll stick strictly to the food threads and the copy-paste posts.
Sometimes you come across a copy-paste that’s actually interesting—at least to me—and it shouldn't be so easy to just dismiss them.
Over the last few days, Larry Walker24 has shared some genuinely decent posts, but the issue arises when someone responds to a normal comment by immediately mocking his writing style or calling out his copy-pasting.

It seems like certain people feel they own the food forums; they act like self-appointed sheriffs who decide that Larry Walker24 isn't allowed to post there just because they find it annoying.
And I suspect there are plenty of those same types of gatekeepers over on the PDF Eurovision boards too.

But wait, why wouldn't I ask why? What’s the reason? Because I don't have one, even though I know more than all of them combined.

I was even part of the American Eurovision fan club—OGAE USA.

So that's what I'm talking about. You just go where there's less resistance regarding partials, right? Here's an example:

What are the odds that Fouma always has partials on every single PDF where Lemonzoo is moderating?! Doesn't that strike you as weird?

I agree. Regarding Dora and Eurovision, I post on General Chat plus the politics and ESC thread on Politics.

It’s honestly a miracle the mods haven't nuked this thread yet—they could have easily 🙂

You aren't taking starting these subreddits about partial credit seriously at all. I don't think anyone actually took you or this whole topic seriously, regardless of how much you think people are following along with the enrollment numbers. 🤷 Cut the nonsense about who's getting banned the most and stop obsessing over specific people...
