People keep whining about how the dynasty is this or that—it's psychotic, and poor Hurem just got caught up in it. They claim she's partly responsible for the chaos within the dynasty—fathers turning against sons, best friends becoming enemies, a son trying to kill his own father, one sister losing her mind, and the Sultan being completely under Zenim's thumb. Then they argue that they’re all crazy and she’s just forced to defend herself. It's been said a thousand times that her struggle made sense at first because she was clueless, but then she started acting arrogant, behaving like she owned the place, getting rid of other girls, and throwing tantrums the moment Sulejman noticed her or Nigar told her what she could achieve. So, according to them, it's her own fault that the once-respected dynasty can't stand her now. But of course, there's always an excuse for some people, while others just get a pass. And then, whenever you post something someone disagrees with, they ask if we're even watching the show. No, sorry, I don't watch it—I'm clearly psychic and just know what's going to happen without tuning in.🙄

Maybe that last sentence is why they called it "attacking a user," though I honestly don't see how. Since when did sarcasm become a punishable offense? I'm not even sure which specific post I was referencing, but I really hope the post that got penalized—where my "interlocutor" implies we're all either sleeping or haven't watched the series since day one just because we defend a certain character—gets looked at too. It wouldn't be surprising if their tone wasn't being sarcastic either.
I've been active on this forum for a long time—about five years now—and I've participated heavily in one specific thread without ever receiving a single warning, let alone penalty points or a strike. I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but fewer and fewer people are actually contributing to the thread lately. It feels like the same few topics are constantly being dragged back up (which isn't your fault, obviously), and it's always the same group of people trolling or provoking everyone, yet they never seem to get touched and are just allowed to keep doing it. If you want proof, just look at pages 409 and 410—check out the posts from @Miss Angel and the ones from @tuncay and @denn30monn-a from tonight.

Maybe that last sentence is just his way of engaging with the conversation, though I honestly don't see how. Since when did using sarcasm become a punishable offense around here?

I can't seem to find the exact thread I was talking about.

I’m honestly holding out hope that the post where my opponent claimed we all must be asleep or haven't watched a single episode of a series just because we’re defending a character gets nuked. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if the moderator's tone wasn't being just as sarcastic as they were.

I’ve been an active participant on this Reddit thread for quite some time now—we're talking five years deep—and I... I have absolutely never even been pulled aside for a warning, let alone been slapped with penalty points or a card. Not once..

Is it just me, or has this entire thread gone completely silent? It feels like everyone has just packed up and left.

It’s because the same exact topics get dragged out over and over again—which, let’s be clear, isn't even your fault.

It’s always the exact same crowd, constantly trolling and stirring the pot, yet nobody ever calls them out. We just sit here and let them run wild while they continue their little games.

If you're actually hunting for proof or specific posts, go check out pages 409 and 410. Look at what @Miss Angel posted, then look at tonight's contributions from @tuncay and @denn30monn.

Personally, I think she handled herself perfectly fine and didn't insult anyone. It’s honestly a bit much to expect someone to just sit there silently when they get hit with a comment like, "this is way too much even for you."

I'm posting this because it really sucks seeing a great thread die out just because of a few people who don't know when to stop. Now, one of the few people actually here to talk about the show—instead of just trolling everyone else—is the one getting punished.

Personally, I think she handled that perfectly fine. She didn't cross the line or insult anyone. Honestly, it’s a bit delusional to expect someone to just sit there in silence after being told, "even you have gone too far."

I’m posting this because I’m honestly sickened to see this thread dying a slow death. It’s all thanks to a few certain individuals who clearly don't know when to shut up. Now, one of the only people actually here to discuss the show—instead of just trolling everyone or making everything about themselves—is being punished for it. It's pathetic.

wiredwolf442 said:Finally!🙂

It looks like everyone is finally waking up. If you’ve been unhappy with how things are being handled, please head over to the Admin thread and speak up—I definitely wasn't the only one feeling this way. I've been saying for a while that there’s a huge group of us who aren't happy, but most people stayed quiet because they were afraid of retaliation. I'm stepping away from the discussion for a bit to focus on my side projects, but from what I hear, the other side is just constantly trolling and poking at people. Personally, I don't have an issue with the mods themselves, but it's pretty obvious from a bird's-eye view that certain people are getting special treatment. For example, why did Anthony Harris2 get those points? Her post was perfectly fine and didn't break any rules. It feels like we're being pushed out of the conversation just because we disagree with the main female lead, while almost everything the other side does is tolerated. Honestly, how am I any worse than slytinker11? In my own thread, I pointed out a textbook case of her trolling and provoking without any consequences, yet nobody mentioned it. Instead, people just keep listing my old mistakes. One of the mods even told me my past slip-ups weren't that bad compared to others. Now I’m reading that the thread is dying because our side keeps getting warnings, points deducted, and bans, while the other side gets a free pass to keep trolling. If the mods won't step in, then the admins really need to take action because there are way too many complaints about bias here.

I have nothing to brag about regarding my post; it’s just what it is—offensive, except for the last part, where it isn't. I was just responding to the thread normally. My writing style—and yeah, maybe it’s sarcastic sometimes—isn't a punishable offense as far as I know. Sarcasm isn't an attack, and I wasn't even targeting anyone directly in my post. I just wrote that we all apparently watched the same show. And no, there isn't a question, because I understood the point, but I still don't see how sarcasm—which is just a way humans communicate (even if it's not always great)—is a crime.

As usual, you’ve jumped at every single chance to throw shade at "those people," "certain individuals," or "the opposition." Honestly? You just earned yourself a warning. This is about not attacking other users, plain and simple. I don't see a single actual question here. It's like you either didn't understand the point you made yourself—even after I repeated it back to you—or you're just using this entire thread as a stage to brag about your own post.

I can't seem to find the exact thread I was talking about.

Probably deleted, just like that entire string of posts written in the exact same style...

If they broke the rules, they get a strike and get booted. It’s that simple. I don't get it—do you seriously think being a jerk to other users instead of actually sticking to the topic is some kind of badge of honor? Using sarcasm as a weapon to dodge the actual conversation isn't a "plus," it's just bad behavior. 😕

I’ve been an active participant on this Reddit thread for quite some time now—we're talking five years deep—and I... I have absolutely never even been pulled aside for a warning, let alone been slapped with penalty points or a card. Not once..

Look, let’s be clear: you’ve racked up eleven separate infractions. That’s not a mistake; that’s a pattern. Even so, I’m giving you a break for now and handing you a formal warning—consider this your yellow card.

Is it just me, or has this entire thread gone completely silent? It feels like everyone has just packed up and left.

That’s just plain false. Not even close to the truth.

It’s because the same exact topics get dragged out over and over again—which, let’s be clear, isn't even your fault.

It’s not even about assigning blame anymore; it’s just a heavy cross we have to carry. We spend months, even years, scrolling through dozens of pages of the exact same repetitive nonsense multiple times a day. It’s exhausting. If you actually want to see progress, try steering the conversation toward something constructive for once—maybe then you’ll actually make an impact. Honestly, anything is better than that favorite little hobby of yours: obsessing over forum users and playing "team" politics.

It’s always the exact same crowd, constantly trolling and stirring the pot, yet nobody ever calls them out. We just sit here and let them run wild while they continue their little games.

I might as well just have this carved on my headstone. Unbelievable.

If you're actually hunting for proof or specific posts, go check out pages 409 and 410. Look at what @Miss Angel posted, then look at tonight's contributions from @tuncay and @denn30monn.

Just report the post. Click the little triangle icon. Drop the link. It’s common sense. I’m not going to sit here playing detective, scrolling through endless pages—especially since we don't all have the same display settings—hunting down specific handles you mentioned just to find posts where someone might have taken a swipe at you. You’ve reported at least a hundred different posts by now; if you stumble onto something problematic and unmoderated, just use the report button like everyone else. It’s not rocket science.

Anyone who actually deserves a strike, a ban, a deleted post, or a warning has already received it.

I already addressed the "targeting others" part above, but I'll just say this: this thread has had plenty of people targeting others in much worse ways (look, I don't have proof, so I can't prove anything here), but if my post counts as that, then fine, I'll take the warning. But again, I don't see anything wrong with sarcasm, and honestly, things have been way worse in this thread.

I know exactly what I've contributed to this thread. I talked about a previous thread where I was active for months and never once got a warning, a card, or any points. Has my writing style really changed that much in the last two years that I'm suddenly getting hit with all three at once?

Ever since I joined this thread, it's been nothing but cliques and people targeting users, plus constant attempts to drag the topic back to how things used to be by digging up old drama. There have also been blatant attempts to pivot back to the current plot—people trying to start new discussions—but usually without luck, because everyone insists this is one giant, interconnected saga that absolutely must be finished first. Individual requests haven't worked, whether they were mine or anyone else's.

There were only two pages where I didn't provide direct links; instead, I just cited the page numbers because they serve as perfect examples of what’s happening in this thread and why people keep complaining that nothing ever changes. Fine, in the future, I'll just report everything, though I'll probably just end up being the resident villain again because my reports won't count since the same patterns keep repeating.
To add to that—this thread is dying, plain and simple. More than one person has mentioned they’re losing interest because they're tired of seeing the same thread, the same comments, and the same writing styles over and over. I don't think it's dying because the show itself isn't popular anymore; the problem is this specific discussion. For instance, we used to get five pages of posts every night after an episode aired, and now we barely get one.
I'm not even going to address the comments about slytinker11 because I don't feel responsible for that.
Maybe it's just the "old guard" left in this thread (there goes those "teams" again), but that certainly doesn't mean it's our fault. And if this isn't considered a sarcastic post aimed at others—which makes me wonder why it's even here—then I really don't know what sarcasm is supposed to look like.

The issue here is that she knows the Reddit rules inside and out. She’s articulate, doesn't throw irrational tantrums, and expresses her views without breaking any community standards. On those rare occasions when she did slip up, she was penalized just like anyone else, regardless of which team she’s on.

That's my final word on this.

wiredwolf442 said:@slytinker11

Love me all you want, but I’ll be back, no matter how much the mods try to push me away. If this needs to go higher up, it’ll end up on the Super Admin's desk. It’s just not right that one side constantly breaks the rules and gets punished while you guys act like you're untouchable. I wouldn't be acting this way if I didn't feel like I was being singled out while everyone else stays problem-free. Honestly, I’d be much more laid back if I knew I actually had some protection here.

@ambermason16

You must be a lawyer or something, given the way you're using all that legal jargon.😂😉

You gave me a good laugh, but I have to jump in here. If you actually knew wiredwolf442 in real life, you’d know he can't be swayed by little favors. I appreciate you offering to smooth things over with the other mods just to get one of my posts cleared, but let’s be real—that doesn't mean you can buy me off or win my silence. You're lucky the admins aren't paying attention to any of this and are basically giving you free rein to do whatever you want. For months now, I've been pointing out how biased this place is and how one side always takes the hit. Up until now, you've made me look like the crazy one, but others are starting to speak up too. Even the admins are seeing that the issue isn't just me. It’s impossible that one group gets banned week after week while the other side just keeps trolling without a care in the world. @slytinker11 and @riv tasev are the gold standard for that; they almost never get banned unless they do something so extreme that you're forced to take action.

First it was casualbison4 who got banned. As soon as her ban ended, one of you three picked a new target. First you went after the "crazy" guy, and now you're coming for Hasret. Before all of them, Firuze was the one getting banned. Seriously, give it a rest.

You tell us to report posts, but when we do, you just threaten us with bans for reporting stuff that shouldn't even be penalized. @slytinker11 was reported for trolling about Ibrahim and his crew, yet nobody even bothered to sanction her. That’s how much "reporting" actually matters here.
