Oral Sex Regulations on Music Forum

Hey, multi-quote.

Let’s assume the analogy holds some water, though I have my doubts.

Maybe Person C won't end up behind bars, but I honestly have my doubts about whether they should even be sitting on the bench as a judge.

A judge can follow the letter of the law and still have an opinion. It’s not mutually exclusive.

Just because I think things used to be better doesn't mean I'm saying everything today is total garbage (and seriously, does it always have to be "garbage"?). I don't see why claiming older music is better on average should be off-limits, even if that premise is completely wrong—which is something we should actually be debating over on the Music subreddit, not here.

The point is, beyond just being absurd, this whole theme has already been covered in unknown topics.

I’m not even sure you paraphrased that correctly, but I get the point you're trying to make. Look, it feels genuinely unnatural to me that someone claiming to be a die-hard alternative fan—especially with twenty years of mileage under their belt—wouldn't have even a vague idea of what a Sex Pistols, Black Flag, Butthole Surfers, or early Flaming Lips show actually looked like.

Do you actually think they’re clueless, or are you just messing with me? 🙄

First off, it might be a good idea to add an appropriate trigger warning to that thread.

Second, and more importantly, if this falls into that top 1% of bad behavior, we’re talking about total disregard for privacy. Doxing someone's life outside of Reddit without their consent—especially when the info is inaccurate and malicious—is just straight-up garbage.

The rules state this thread is for "everything and anything," which feels a bit narrow. Honestly, we could definitely expand that scope.

First off, there was zero smoking going on. As for everything else, it’s really not worth the effort of an intervention. How is anyone supposed to prove she's being malicious or spreading lies instead of just being wrong? And honestly, why does it even matter? The whole thing was just a comparison used to illustrate how you became who you are in her eyes. 🤷

It isn't just about what someone fails to do, it's about what they actually do, especially when you're talking about a leader or anyone making calls that affect other people, even on a small scale.

stormywolf39 said:the point is that besides being absurd, this whole thing was already covered in an unknown thread.

Whether it's absurd or not is exactly what we should be debating here. I don't get the feeling that the topic has been covered; honestly, I'm not even sure what that's supposed to mean. If someone voiced a similar sentiment two years ago, does that mean I have to suppress my view today regardless of the context, especially when the nature of the argument means it's going to pop up in various discussions anyway?

Whatever.

stormywolf39 said:do you seriously think they don't know, or are you just messing with me? 🙄

I don't know. If they do know, then what—are they just playing dumb? Why would they bother doing that? And we could have had that conversation over there, not here.

stormywolf39 said:1. it says the topic covers everything in the rules, though it could be expanded

Sure, it could. If "everything" implies literally everything—like insulting people, being shady, lying... then just write it down clearly so people know exactly what kind of Reddit they're dealing with.

stormywolf39 said:2. first off, there wasn't any smoking going on over there,

Since there wasn't, then you were the one who just told me to go suck a dick right there. It's still standing right there for everyone to see.

stormywolf39 said:and as for the rest, it’s not really worth a special intervention. How is anyone supposed to know she's pushing false and malicious info instead of you, and why does it even matter? the whole thing was just a comparison used to better explain how you came to be in her view🤷

Now we're getting into concerning territory.

She literally admits those details are from outside the Reddit thread. It shouldn't even be framed as a question of whether they're accurate or if someone should bother checking them; if I don't consent, private data simply shouldn't be posted here.

The fact that this data is malicious and wrong is just another level of an unacceptable disaster, and the worst part is that you guys still don't get that this is unacceptable.

It wasn't about my "origin story"; if she wants to illustrate how I became who I am, I have hundreds of posts on Music forums, so she can go find an example there if one even exists.

Is it possible that neither the moderators nor—which is way worse—the admins in charge actually grasp this?

I don't see any point in even arguing this anymore. It’s obvious to anyone watching that driftingeagle27 just won't back down. Whether it's about the music or just general behavior, they've completely fallen apart. Every few minutes I'm getting an email about a reported post... it feels like they're just trying to mess with my head at this point. I don't know how the rest of you mods feel, but I'm done. I think I've been more than patient with them up until now, but that's about to change. That's all from me.

Sean Lee7 said:even the blind guy can see that driftingeagle27 isn't backing down.

Oh, so you’re actually sitting there hoping I’ll just give up? Sorry to disappoint, but it’s not even about whether some blind observer notices my persistence anymore; it's really just a matter of whether the admins are paying attention to this mess.

Sean Lee7 said:enough out of you.

That's enough; it's getting old.

I'm done busting my ass over this.

I'm leaving it up to the admins now.

(And if they don't come up with something decent, well, I'll figure out my next move then.)

driftingeagle27 said:I’ll leave this up to the admins.

The admins are watching, don't sweat it. 🙂

Scott Long71 said:The mods are watching, don't sweat it. 🙂

Fine.

As far as I'm concerned, the whole show is over, everyone's had their popcorn, and now they're just waiting on the results.

hollowtrucker77 said:So, you happy with how things turned out?

Nah, not really. So what are the results? The only one was unknown. I don't know what you're trying to get at here, but if you're looking for something meaningful, you're definitely barking up the wrong tree. The Music moderator is actually pretty decent and does his job right, and he scrubbed something that should have been nuked instantly by any halfway reasonable Reddit community, though it took me a few days of trying to explain to you guys in every way possible why that crap had no business being on here.

hollowtrucker77 said:Can we keep this moving?

Whatever. I won't keep you any longer—especially since you seem perfectly happy now.

Honestly, I should probably just start my own thread on Reddit and vent about how my posts get deleted for no reason. I’d write three massive essays explaining exactly why your tactics are unfair and how this entire site is falling apart because you cave to every single illiterate troll who's just loud enough to be annoying. If anyone actually cares about getting things sorted, even better—it’ll give me someone to drive crazy, which keeps things interesting. Using multiquotes is honestly the best way to keep an opponent confused. Then, while waiting for a resolution, I could report every suspicious music post and act all shocked by the swearing, staying perfectly in character.

But you know what? I won't. That would be insane. 😁

...who clearly can't or won't actually hold a coherent, organized conversation.

It’s actually a pretty slick feature for everyone involved, including the people lurking and reading the threads later on.

(As for everything else, I think it's pretty lame to act all victimized like, oh, Dura is going to forgive you for getting wrecked... If you actually care about something, why wouldn't you spend whatever little time you have on Reddit fighting for what's right? It's just cool 🙂)
