Do the same rules apply to everyone?

Hey,

I’m starting this thread because I’m fed up with the bans and the negative points being thrown my way.

Most of my time online is spent on the forums where Louise Hay acts as a moderator.
I just got slapped with a six-month ban on the main board for "off-topic chatting." Honestly, just go look at the threads yourselves—it was just me and one other user who got hit with a six-month ban. Then, a few days ago, I get self-isolated from the US forum for the exact same thing: off-topic posting. Look, I go into a thread, and people are literally talking about stuff that has zero to do with the topic. They’re basically having entire side conversations right there in the middle of a thread. It makes me wonder if the rules actually apply to everyone, or if it’s just a matter of "do I like you or not?" If they don't like me, they ban me; if they do, they let it slide. If she has some kind of personal vendetta against me, she should just say so and we can deal with it.

I want to hear from the other moderators and the people who appointed them. If you don't believe me, I can send screenshots of these negative points. You can check the thread history too—other people haven't even been banned for a single day, while I'm getting hit constantly.

This whole setup is pointless if the rules aren't applied equally. If the standard isn't the same for everyone, then she needs to step down from her moderator position and let someone else take over.

Thanks!

And just to be clear, I didn't start this thread because I enjoy seeing others get banned!

There’s no such thing as a six-month ban. You just stack up a bunch of small boxes, hit 200 points, and boom—you're sidelined for two days. Just look at the far right column; it tells you exactly when the box clears out.

The moderator told me I got hit with some "parallel" ban lasting six months. Honestly? I don't see any evidence for it. I know what the screen says, but I can't wrap my head around why I'm the only one getting lectured while everyone else just hangs out and trolls without a care in the world.
