Why are my posts being deleted on MK while the insults directed at me stay up without any sanctions?

Alright, here's the deal. I hopped onto The Team and told some girl her breasts looked fake—because, well, they look fake. Then, a user named Aaron Harris2 decides to jump in and call me a "pervert". I reported her for harassment, but for some reason, nothing happened to her post. To make matters worse, I replied to that specific comment, but my response has completely vanished. My reply didn't break any rules; it was pretty much just this: "I bet you only do your makeup for yourself. Since when did you start being insulting? It didn't take long, did it?"

So, why hasn't Aaron Harris2 been flagged for her post?

And why was my post deleted?

If mine was already gone, why wasn't hers wiped out too?

Thanks. I'll just be over here sucking up to management while I wait for an answer.

As things unfold, I suppose I’d say I am... I suppose I should have seen that coming. My mistake.I reported that for harassment, but for some reason, nothing happened. I even replied to the post, only to have my response vanish into thin air. My comment didn't break any rules; it was basically just, "I'm sure you're only doing your makeup for yourself." So you've started with the insults? Took you long enough.

So, why hasn't the user derin been sanctioned yet?

Why was my post deleted?

If my first one was already deleted, why wasn't the other one wiped too?

Thanks. I'll just be over here licking a lollipop while I wait for some answers.

He answered that on The Team last night. I can't say I disagree with redbear2 on this one. It’s a fair point, really. Understood. I haven't quite figured out how to make this work yet. It's an ongoing process.

And the deletions? They always show up whenever things start heading in the wrong direction. Exposing people's business just isn't what The Team is about.☕

And the deletions? They happened last night and they’ll always happen whenever we feel a thread is heading in the wrong direction. Calling out fake assets isn't what this thread is about.☕

Why wasn't the insults sanctioned? If I call someone a "creep," isn't that an insult? Does that mean I can just stroll through the digital streets calling people creeps without consequence?

I have to admit, I haven't the slightest clue what Aaron Harris2 was trying to get at. I have no idea what kind of "proof" he’s talking about; my response to his post makes that pretty clear. You guys jumped on me for nothing. I just told a girl her breasts looked fake. Doesn't that fall under the same umbrella as saying "you have great breasts"? Are you suggesting only positive comments are allowed here? Because if so, isn't saying they look fake a neutral observation?

Look, this thread was created specifically to comment on people's bodies. People shouldn't put themselves out there if they can't handle someone pointing out their chest looks fake or telling them they need to tone their glutes. It’s like how someone shouldn't audition for X Factor if they can't handle someone disliking their singing. Or how someone shouldn't publish a book if they can't deal with bad reviews. Don't you agree? Actually, let me correct myself—it's not quite the same. The difference is I didn't tell anyone they had bad breasts; I just said they looked artificial.

As for my deleted post, I don't see how it steered the conversation off course. A female user wrote she was going to tone her butt for herself, and I simply replied that she probably does her makeup for herself too. If her calling me a "creep" doesn't derail the thread, then I don't see how my comment does. It feels like you mods are just taking her side because she posts photos of her backside, which is pretty unfair. As moderators, you should use your heads, wouldn't you agree?

Greetings.
You really ought to take a moment to review The Team's rules, which are laid out in the introductory post; we find ourselves having to remind people about them quite frequently, so I am stepping in to do the same for you now (it should only take you about two minutes to get up to speed).
We maintain a strict policy against negativity in comments from the ladies, and we absolutely prohibit any sort of provocation involving senseless speculation regarding the origin of anyone's bust or similar nonsense. However, once you have actually read the guidelines, I assure you there will be no further issues moving forward. Please, do not go looking for trouble where none exists; this thread has maintained its specific direction for years and it intends to continue doing so—either with your participation (should you choose to follow along) or without you (if you find you cannot agree). Best regards.

The Team has rules laid out in the intro post that we have to point out constantly (and now I’m pointing them out to you), so take two minutes to read them carefully.
No negativity in comments from the girls, no instigating with mindless predictions about where their breasts came from, and so on. Once you’ve read the rules, there won't be any issues moving forward. Don't go looking for trouble where there isn't any; this thread has been running in the same direction for years and it'll keep doing that with you (if you're willing) or without you (if you aren't). Cheers.

I asked some specific questions regarding my deleted post and the insults that went unpunished.

Honestly, I don't care much about the thread itself anymore because I've realized it's set up in a pretty narrow way. It doesn't really allow for any freedom of opinion that still follows the site rules; instead, it just encourages opinions that flatter the girls so they keep posting photos. I'm not bothered by that, but it's a flaw in the forum that it allows such nonsense.

Like I said, I posed some direct questions that aren't about how the thread is structured, so I'd appreciate some answers.

If anything wasn't clear, I can easily copy those questions again so the folks over at MK can understand them better.

Why wasn't the insult sanctioned? Calling someone a "troll" is an insult, isn't it? So, am I just free to walk around these forums calling people trolls?

As for my deleted post, I don't see how it steered the conversation in a bad direction. A user named Derin told me she was going to tighten things up for her own sake, and I simply responded in kind by saying she probably puts on makeup for her own sake. If her calling me a troll isn't steering the thread in the wrong direction, then I don't see how my comment does it either. It feels to me like you mods are just taking her side because she's showing off, which is pretty unfair. As moderators, you should use your heads, wouldn't you agree?

P.S. — I'd also love for you to explain exactly how my comment suggesting breasts might look fake is considered negative. Don't just label it "provocation"; tell me specifically how it's a negative comment. If you can't explain it, you shouldn't call it negative, which logically means it's perfectly fine for me and everyone else to leave comments like that.

It goes without saying that those participating in The Team discussions hold a distinct advantage over someone like you, who has merely arrived to stir the pot and provoke.
Furthermore, you should fully expect your posts to be removed and for you to face disciplinary sanctions (though, admittedly, that hasn't been the case quite yet).
I simply do not consider your meager collection of a few troll posts to be worthy of my time or any significant space here or elsewhere; moreover, I shall take care to inform our users not to label you a nuisance, as you truly do not meet that description in any capacity. Nor do I view such a label as an insult within the context of your recent behavior.
As far as I am concerned, I sincerely hope you will heed my pointers regarding the community guidelines moving forward.
Farewell.

Aaron Harris2 said:Of course they have the upper hand in that thread compared to someone like you who just showed up to stir the pot.
And don't be surprised when your posts get nuked and you end up sanctioned (though that hasn't happened yet).
Your whole body of work—a handful of troll posts—isn't worth my time or space here or anywhere else. I'll make sure users know not to call you a "troll," because that label doesn't actually fit you. I also don't consider that a personal insult given how you've been acting.
That's all from me. I hope you take the hint regarding the thread rules for next time.
Bye now.

Fair enough. They carry more weight in that specific discussion than I do. I get it, and I'm fine with that.

But I still don't see why my post was deleted while the one calling me a troll stayed up. In the deleted post, I wasn't provoking anyone; if anything, I was clearly the one being baited. No matter how much value a user—in this case, a female user—brings to a topic, I still deserve objective treatment. Isn't that the point? If you think comments about fake breasts count as provocation, then delete those, but don't wipe out the ones where there was no provocation at all. Actually, you deleted my response to an insult. Meanwhile, the insult itself remains untouched, no penalty issued. And yeah, it was an insult; it’s obvious from the context. Unless you're looking at the entire history of my interaction with her to justify it, then we're just talking about poor moderation. An insult shouldn't be "justified" by context.

Glad to finally see how things really work on MK, even if nothing actually got resolved.

Take care.
