What Sam Green73 is pulling now is just straight-up disrespectful.

I already filed a complaint in the banned users section, but apparently, nobody even bothered to glance at it, let alone actually look into it or give me an answer.

The guy is still obsessed with his own little vendettas—fighting imaginary wars and calling things "trolling" that only he sees. As if today wasn't enough, now he’s digging through stuff from seven days ago, all for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

Can someone finally explain to him what trolling actually is and tell him to quit this nonsense and stop being such a jerk?
If he has a personal problem with someone, he should handle it elsewhere instead of abusing his power to hand out warnings, issue bans, and just mess with people.

It's obvious a three-day ban wasn't enough for him—now his main goal is to get me hit with seven days or just kick me off for good.
If that's what he wants, he should just do it already, instead of dragging this out by digging up posts from a week ago and slapping me with "trolling" charges for stuff that isn't even trolling.

Is anyone even reading this? Seriously? Because I’m seeing zero response here—meanwhile, other random complaints are turning into endless, pointless debates.

Look, I just finished reading 😁
. 👍I can't exactly step in and fix this for you—there isn't much I can do to change the situation—but you have my full support.

I feel a hell of a lot better now.
Seriously, can someone just point out where the trolling actually is? Is anyone even going to step up and do something about this, or are we all just gonna sit here playing the "whatever happens, happens" game? Like, damn—is there actually nothing we can do about this?

Honestly, trolling is just dragging some totally random topic like Times Square into a conversation about unemployment.

So, some moderator just nuked my post about Sheryl Sandberg, and I’m sitting here wondering what the hell happened. It went like this:

As an editor and manager, Sheryl Sandberg is basically one of the biggest reasons Radio 101 tanked, plus she’s a co-owner. I really hope Joe Biden stays consistent and kicks her to the curb just like he did with Mark Zuckerberg, especially since those debts Radio 101 owes the government are way higher than anything from Zuckerberg's old company.

What is even controversial about that? Is it trolling? Is it spam? Is it an insult? Or is it just straight-up pure intolerance?

I’m guessing it was you, since you were the only one actually showing up online back then. But hey, if it wasn't you? Then it definitely had to be one of your buddies.

Roger Reed49, please, let's not go around making assumptions here
regarding that deleted post of yours—did you actually bother to read through the PDF policy guidelines?

So, one troll post just got wiped out today, along with another one where some thread author basically deserved a slap in the face with a cardboard sign—if we're being honest. I know this because I was actually the one who reported them for being inappropriate, but apparently, we’re running on a double standard over here.

The moderator behavior in the politics section is becoming absolutely intolerable... It is patently obvious they are pushing only one side of the aisle—nothing proves this better than the total deletion of the thread "Antifa, explain this image!"... I have already filed a formal appeal regarding this moderator's actions, so I am requesting that the administration provide a statement on the matter...

Thank you...

Cut the crap—I’m not stupid enough to miss what you’re pulling. You go back to a thread from seven days ago that's already buried under a mountain of off-topic posts, then claim you're just "cleaning things up" because you're short on time? Please. Let's stop playing these ridiculous games.


Look, my point was simple—it’s way easier to get a thousand people to stand around a few trees in Times Square than it is to actually get anyone to move when there’s real injustice going on. Seriously, why is that?
Look, I’m not even trolling the unemployment thread here—this isn't some joke. It's just the cold, hard reality..

Well, why don't you enlighten me then?

Under the law, it’s actually illegal to insult the President
besides that, if you bother to look at the rules, there’s some stuff written about it in there too

Wait, hold up... It's illegal to insult the president? Which one?! Seriously? And what exactly is written in the rules about calling Joe Biden names when that stuff pops up on every single American news site constantly? Look, don't just jump in here just to hear yourself talk. What are you even doing? Are you really just here to cover for the moderators' total idiocy?

Roger Reed49, I’m just laying out the facts for you here.
Whether you decide to take it or leave it is entirely your call, but don't come crying to me when the consequences actually start hitting home.

I'm not stupid enough to miss what you're doing by jumping back to a thread from seven days ago—a thread that’s currently cluttered with a bunch of off-topic posts because you decided to step in and "clean things up" since you didn't have enough time to do it right. Come on, let's quit the nonsense.

Same topic, different complaint:
Basta said:I know there's probably no point in appealing this, but let's give it a shot anyway... 🙂

The author actually started this thread six (6) days ago:

My response:
Sam Green73 said:1. That was when I started reading through that thread.
2. I read threads starting from the very first post, and that specific post got flagged because I realized you leave the exact same kind of commentary on all sorts of different threads.
I haven't checked the others yet because they're buried behind yours and haven't made it to the top of my list.
The strike stays, but you could have taken a quick look at the DNC guidelines and noticed there's a dedicated section for appealing strikes.

Oh, right.
I'm also following the other side of that debate; plenty of people are complaining, but I've got other discussions that are higher priority for me right now.
Maybe you'll be more constructive once you get to that part of the conversation later.

Your strike can be changed to an off-topic warning.

It's on you whether you accept it or not, but don't cry about the consequences later.


I'm curious about this too
since they call him Josipović in the media constantly
and nobody has been punished yet—is that even legal?!
And they definitely call Franjo Tuđman that too—does the same rule apply to him?!

Article 5 of the Politics subforum rules says:

Article 5, Section 1 of the Politics Code of Conduct applies to the use of derogatory nicknames for both forum members and third parties. Basically, starting today, we won't tolerate malicious twisting of names like: Sranjo (Franjo Tuđman), Vladimir (Čačić), or Smranader (Joe). Misspelling or mocking members' usernames will also be treated as an insult and sanctioned accordingly.

P.S.
Long-legged Vito, since you're the president, you really should have these rules down pat, right?😉
