Why was I banned?

There’s no message, no strike, nothing. I haven't written a single thing that insults anyone.

So why the hell am I being targeted?

And don't you think this thread on Russia is just crawling with obnoxious trolls trying to derail everything? Is it really fair to keep banning a long-time user like me for absolutely no reason while letting clones run wild and wreck the whole discussion?

I didn't insult anyone. I posted maybe ten messages. I wasn't trolling, I wasn't being rude, so why on earth am I getting a 5-day ban?

You have been banned for the following reason:
Spamming on the thread regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Date the ban will be lifted: 03.03.2022., 03:00

What do they mean by "spamming"? Is it actually impossible to participate on this forum anymore? Why even bother doing this?

On the other hand, you let all kinds of trolling garbage slide from users who have like fifty posts and joined two months ago.

I've been a member here for 15 years, and honestly, this just feels unfair and wrong.

Especially since I haven't received a single shred of explanation as to what exactly was wrong with my posts.

Can I get an answer here?

What’s the deal with the moderators, supermods, or admins?

What is even the point of this sub if nobody answers my question and I just spend all my time banned without ever finding out why?

You got what was coming to you with that ban, and if you don't like it, well, that's just more paperwork on your desk. If you want my two cents, the ban was justified, especially since it expires tomorrow evening anyway.

Charles Fox10 said:You got your warning via a ban, and if you don't like it, that's your problem. If you ask me, the ban was totally justified, especially since it expires tomorrow evening anyway.

Look, I literally sent maybe ten messages. No trolling, no insults, nothing.

It’s pathetic that you’re blocking me from participating in such a massive thread with a five-day ban. Just pathetic.

Not just pathetic—it's unprofessional.

What kind of "opus" are we talking about here?

What now? Am I supposed to walk on eggshells because you might personally dislike a post?

You deleted my post where I discussed the Eurasian Union. How does that violate any forum rules?

Or did you turn this forum into your own private chat room where you just ban people whenever they annoy you?

Meanwhile, you leave the trolls with hundreds of posts untouched.

Congrats, genius—you kicked out someone who actually knows the post-Soviet region, while leaving the idiots who get all their news from ABC.

Well, look at that. You actually lifted my ban despite me being so difficult. Who would have thought?
