I think this might be my second or third time actually reporting someone in all my seven years on this forum. I just flagged Gustisok because he basically celebrated what looks like a politically motivated killing of a guy who was an outspoken Trump supporter. To paraphrase his sentiment, Gustisok essentially said, "Great, one less to deal with."
Now, I’ll give credit where it's due—the mods were fast, but if you ask me, they weren't exactly effective. As far as I can tell, Gustisok still has his blue status. And let's not forget, he’s got this little habit of calling anyone who disagrees with him a complete idiot.
So, here we are, describing what could potentially be a Jupiter situation. For the sake of this little grievance, I guess I have to play the part of the sacrificial lamb. A while back, I actually got slapped with 300 penalty points for suggesting that people who backed Zavadlav are now out there protesting over Floyd. Look, the specifics of my defense aren't really relevant here, but let's just say I had to work pretty hard to argue my way out of that one just to get the strike removed from my record.
It's funny when you look at the math: I get hit with 300 points for making a statement that follows a certain logical progression, yet someone celebrating the murder of a political opponent gets nothing more than a deleted post and maybe a warning that doesn't even come close to a ban. My comment was labeled as a heavy ad hominem attack against everyone grieving over Floyd's death (myself included), while cheering for the assassination of political rivals (again, myself included) clearly isn't worth a ban in the eyes of the moderation team.
When you see stuff like this, you really have to wonder if the whole system is just a joke.
