Reported two posts but no one's responding

It’s been over 24 hours since I reported this. I’m wondering why this hasn't been flagged as hate speech against an entire nation or, at the very least, trolling:

To compare stupidity between two nations, we need objective, measurable criteria.
There are all kinds of Americans out there, but this person isn't exactly being open-minded or polite:

post
They are talking about Americans and calling them "narrow-minded and backward."

Second post:

Besides, if Americans can insult other legitimate religions, I can certainly mock their narrow-mindedness. They're complaining to the moderators:

post
Here, they "just" label them as backward.

I don't get why this wasn't penalized. Why isn't it?

I honestly hope this gets penalized as well.

Though,it is entirely possible you are simply dim-witted enough that you can't grasp the direction of this conversation or even understand why I brought up the fact that an American is fighting with the Azov regiment. ☕

What exactly is the connection there? And this is coming from a mod! Brilliant. 🤦

I reported your post as spam since it has nothing to do with my complaint. A mod should probably know that. 😁

And what on earth does being a moderator on some obscure tenth PDF have to do with my comment, where I am simply pointing out the blatant hypocrisy and the total failure to follow the basic rules of this forum?

Now you're just trying to derail the whole thread. 🤦

Since you haven't bothered to address a single word of the posts I reported—choosing instead to dig through my history—I can only assume you're busy defending someone who just called an entire nation narrow-minded and backward.

Even if I were breaking the rules, it wouldn't change what someone else said, nor would it change a single thing about those two specific posts. Unless you can somehow explain how my behavior alters the content of their statements.

P.S. A moderator should probably focus on evaluating the actual reports I submitted rather than nitpicking my previous comments that have nothing to do with this topic.

crimsoncyclist71 said:Oh, sure, let's just turn this whole thread into a joke. 🤦

Since I don't see you having commented on a single word of the posts I reported—instead, you've just gone straight for my own history—I can't see any other explanation than that you're trying to defend someone who called an entire nation narrow-minded and backward.

Even if I were breaking a hundred forum rules, it wouldn't change a single thing about what someone else posted, nor does it change even a fraction of what was actually said in those two posts. Unless, by some miracle, you can explain how my actions somehow alter the substance of their words.

P.S. As a moderator, you really should be evaluating the content of the posts I flagged instead of nitpicking my own comments, which have nothing to do with this topic.

Look, I have a suggestion for you.

I suggest you stop labeling people with different political views as fascists, antisemites (😵), then homophobes, and finally just calling them idiots—like when you suggested I might be stupid.

I sincerely hope you received a warning for the post Dub was quoting, but I'm certainly not advocating for you to keep getting penalized.

I would much prefer it if your arguments remained focused on the actual topic regarding Ukraine, which is something far more important than shouting about extremists.

You reduce the entire discussion to a few bearded radicals, insult your interlocutors, and the other day you labeled people antisemites simply because they dared to criticize Soros, despite having zero evidence to back that up.

The war in Ukraine is about so much more than just extremist factions. It's better for the discussion if we don't force people to take sides by playing the card of "anti-Americanism"—the very same tactic you fight so fiercely in the veterans' protest threads, where you criticize the exact people you accuse of being "anti-American."

crimsoncyclist71 said:On the other hand, you have the extremists. And the Russian neo-Nazis.
Are you actually supporting extremists and Russian neo-Nazis? ☕

Here is a look at your actual rhetoric regarding Ukraine, yet here you are, taking refuge by attacking someone who called Americans narrow-minded.

What do you think is worse: calling Americans narrow-minded on a forum where there might not even be any Americans present, or insinuating that someone is an extremist, even when they might have lost family members to the conflict or could even be a victim themselves?

I'm not saying the first thing is acceptable, either, but please, let's bring this back down to earth.

You've been disrupting threads for days without consequence, and yet you have the nerve to deflect onto someone else.

I’m not the subject here. I reported your post as spam because it’s obvious you're just trying to flood the thread to distract from the enrollment issues I flagged. I'm still waiting for an answer as to why those reports haven't resulted in any disciplinary action.

I expect the admins to address my question and clear out the spam that’s cluttering things up—none of it has anything to do with the posts I reported, which is why I started this thread in the first place.

Alright. I’m going to stop "spamming" this thread by trying to convince you that you're heading down completely the wrong path. I would, however, like to ask the moderators and the admin team to take another look at whether the debate style described above is actually "healthy" for the topics you cover.

I wish you a pleasant day.

I will take a look and assess where we need to flag unacceptable discourse. Thanks for the report.

Thanks for the feedback, though I can't say I agree with how this turned out. It's fine, I guess. But I should point out that when people respond so mildly to such an obviously provocative writing style, it just encourages the same user to keep pushing the aggression in posts like this one.
I’m no saint when it comes to online debates, but seeing someone get flagged here and there always reminds me that this isn't the right way to act. Clearly, he isn't learning his lesson. Luckily, he probably doesn't have much time to post; otherwise, this forum would be drowning in that kind of open hostility.

Honestly, you really should be the last person on this site to complain about someone's blatant aggression from another user, especially after you "survived" that endless barrage of reports following those calls for people to basically eat garbage directed at specific members.
Well, directed at a specific member, sure.
Directed at me, actually.😁

PS: Don't get me wrong here—I’m genuinely glad you haven't been hit with a permanent ban, so keep posting; I don't have a problem with it.👍
But for you to actually start launching some kind of crusade against "aggressive" users...🙄that's just something else entirely.

Whether you report it or not, it doesn't matter—the moderators have completely checked out of this thread.

If posts like this actually required reporting, then take a look at this:

We’re talking about a degenerate who has been banned dozens of times already, yet here he is, with Ringo calling another user a slur. We all know the administration and the mod team are biased anyway.

There's no point even wasting breath on the spammers. The trolls, the ultra-nationalists, the fascists, and all that other filth have basically moved in, and they're being tolerated without a second thought.

We are the Borg (meaning the pro-Russian trolls)—resistance is futile on this forum.

Posted last night. There are hundreds more like it on the PDF. I see you commenting—If they have to register... Yes. They do. Register and wait 24 hours. Otherwise, without following the rules mentioned above, your participation with entries like these could be summarized as follows—The trollforce is strong with this one.

Michelle Evans said:I wrote this last night, surrounded by hundreds of similar posts. I see you're replying—If they have to report them... Yes, they absolutely do. Report it and wait 24 hours. Otherwise, given what was mentioned above, your participation with entries like these can be summarized quite simply as:The trollforce is strong with this one.

This isn't the first time this user has done this; it’s easily the hundredth time he’s resorted to insults, just like the rest of his crowd.

Fine, fine, "they have to report it," but after experiencing nothing but repetitive, futile reporting only to be ignored by the site administrators, I don't bother reporting insults, pro-Russian fanatics, hunters, or any other filth they post anymore. Let them stay up as a shameful reminder of the anti-Ukraine policy this administration has been peddling here for ages.

Do you honestly think the user being targeted hasn't noticed the insult? He likely knows perfectly well that reporting the Borg is a waste of breath. You’re just going to let him get away with doing it all over again anyway.

And thanks for the "trollforce" comment 👏 —it just confirms my point.

Once you file enough complaints, you realize the resistance is futile. On these specific threads, nothing has changed and nothing ever will, whether you complain or not.

So, you didn't report the post because you think it’s pointless, yet you're complaining about moderator inaction and throwing accusations. Brilliant...

As for whether any action will be taken, let's just wait for the standard processing time before anyone starts complaining about moderation again.

Some pretty wild developments lately involving certain characters who suddenly found their sense of moral superiority 🙂

Anyway, I’ve got a pretty specific question regarding this and a few other threads—is there any actual penalty for posting blatant lies? Like, is the whole point of these fabrications just to troll the discussion?

For instance:
-"Snipers on the White House walls during the protests," you run the photo through Google Images and it turns out to be a shot from 2010.
-"Russian lawmaker admits presence of Russian military in video," but three people who actually speak Russian watch fifteen minutes of a clip featuring some drunk guy mumbling, and there isn't a single trace of such a statement.
-"Russian terrorists burning Tatar books in Crimea," but it's actually a photo from a 2012 protest where schoolbooks with a "new" version of Ukrainian history were being burned.

And it goes on forever. I mean, sure, we all make mistakes sometimes, but when like 95% of a certain clown's posts are "mistakes," there's really no way that's accidental—it's just the most primitive form of trolling.

It's a cycle that just keeps repeating itself. Every weekend, a handful of old or new faces show up to troll using parallels to the Deep South, obsessively counting grains of sand while focusing heavily on Mexicans and Chetniks, stirring up a mess, and then some guy pops in here acting surprised by the chaos, asking why the thread hasn't been shut down or whatever. 🙂
It's not the first time either; I've seen this play out several times now.

This whole topic is an absolute mess. It’s being completely hijacked by a handful of dedicated little pro-Russian zealots—I won't name names, though they’ve certainly made themselves known right here—who seem to obsess over this day and night as if they don't have anything better to do with their lives. Occasionally, you might see some naive soul wander into the fray, someone who actually reads the arguments and dares to ask the group to use a shred of common sense, only to be immediately and ruthlessly shut down by the majority. And heaven forbid you try to hold your ground; the moment you show any persistence, they instantly brand you a paid operative for the American Embassy.
The reality is that most people couldn't care less about Ukraine, which explains why the atmosphere surrounding this discussion is so toxic. Why would anyone bother wrestling with a pack of fanatics driven by whatever inscrutable motives they possess? (I have my suspicions about their goals, but I'll leave those unsaid for now.) It is truly a shame, however, that the moderators seem to have completely checked out on this thread, leaving the public consensus to be shaped by media outlets that are essentially functioning at the level of a cheap joke or Joseph Goebbels in his prime.

Where on earth did you manage to dig up such a dusty, prehistoric topic from the bottom of a mothballed trunk? 🙂
