Unacceptable moderation on the Palestine thread

Hey everyone,

I’m gonna jump straight into this—I’ve been sounding the alarm for a while now about the sheer incompetence, bias, inconsistency, and blatant conflict of interest coming from the thread moderator—rowdytiger13.

Look, I’m not even looking for an answer here, I just really want to point out how rowdytiger13 has basically chased away a bunch of decent people from this discussion. It happens the second they realize he’s deleting anything that doesn't fit his narrative, followed by these totally senseless warnings and bans—all wrapped up in those aggressive, condescending posts where he treats the official Los Angeles stance like some kind of untouchable, sacred cow.

When you punish actual arguments and start lecturing people on the "true nature" of specific regimes or individuals, you don't leave anyone any room to breathe—you basically force people to walk away and leave the whole playground to rowdytiger13 and his little group of followers.

Personally, I previously said I wouldn't participate in this thread until the user who got banned had their strike removed, but honestly? I was wrong. Now I’m saying I won't touch this topic at all as long as rowdytiger13 is the one moderating it.

Anyway, that’s my two cents—I'm not looking for a debate and I'm not trying to pick a fight with anyone, but I felt like I had to call out this behavior. It’s damaging the community and allowing for this incredibly one-sided, biased perspective on what is easily one of the most sensitive and massive issues facing our planet since the end of WWII.

What’s going on here? First you drove Rock away, and now it's rowdytiger13's turn.
It seems like anyone who tries to moderate this place objectively just doesn't fit your vibe. Honestly, if it weren't for rowdytiger13, this whole thread would have turned into a nonstop fan club for Hezbollah a long time ago.
You've basically chased off most of the regular users on certain threads (like the one about Ukraine), leaving you guys to just run wild in there.

You see how messy things get when you let personal bias take the wheel and just lash out.🤣
Btw, I’m pretty sure that red card was totally deserved, though I know you probably don't care much about that. 😁

Anyone who actually moderates objectively clearly doesn't fit your mold. If it weren't for rowdytiger13, this whole thread would have turned into a fan club for the terrorist organization Hezbollah long ago.
You've driven most users away from specific threads (like the one about Ukraine), leaving you to run wild there.

And this is probably the second or third time some user from the Politics board has started a thread here just to jump in and attackthe author of the actual topic.

enough said.

Given how heavy this topic is, I think the moderators are doing a solid job.

@Susan Price30/">@@Susan Price30,
what exactly are you commenting on here?
are you critiquing the moderation on a thread you aren't even active in, or just picking on a commenter?

"enough said" (basically translates to: "I have no clue, but I'll say something anyway").

Honestly, this whole thing should probably be locked...

Anyone who actually tries to moderate objectively just doesn't fit your mold. If it weren't for rowdytiger13, this whole thread would have turned into a glorified fan club for the terrorist organization Hezbollah ages ago.
You've basically chased off most of the regular users on specific threads—like the one about Ukraine—and now you're just left running an echo chamber over there.

You keep trolling this thread without any consequences, bringing up Hezbollah in Gaza—which isn't even there. It’s honestly pathetic that these kinds of troll posts don't get sanctioned at all, while people who speak out against American military bases in Israel get their posts wiped and get banned. This blatant lying—claiming a Lebanese militia is operating in Gaza—doesn't even earn a warning.

rowdytiger13 is clearly biased, because they're constantly deleting posts and banning users like Nancy Wood6 and others who actually use logic to dismantle the Zionist trolling.

I haven't seen a single banned Zionist yet, mostly because they share the exact same opinions as moderator rowdytiger13, who makes no secret of their love for Israel. What happened to Rock on the Ukraine thread is exactly what’s happening to rowdytiger13 on the Israel thread.

Rambi is constantly trolling with posts like this, where we can see absolutely zero accountability.

Maybe the admins should wake up and ask themselves if they really want the most popular discussions to be this one-sided echo chamber promoted by rowdytiger13, who spends their time defending and justifying war crimes against civilians in Gaza.

Absolute bottom of the barrel.

Absolute rock bottom... when a commenter writes: "Well said, Mr. Adolf..." @Jamie Barrett7/">@@Jamie Barrett7... 😠
The comment was deleted, which was definitely the right call. But the user is still posting away... meanwhile, if anyone else dropped a comment like that or even something remotely similar, they'd be slapped with a multi-day ban...

It’s just the same old cycle over and over: Nazis, fascists, Zionist teenagers, Zionist fascist thugs...

Same here. Once the commentator starts... Just a quick note... Well, I guess I'm just talking to myself here...

And then you all go ahead and complain about @modu being biased...!

Just making some quick edits...
And that whole ad hominem thing from yesterday... I won't even go there. Absolute rock bottom...

Please, I’m begging you—don’t be the only one jumping into the fray here. Honestly, I’ve lost count of how many times you've been called out and thoroughly debunked for those Zionist lies of yours; at this point, your posts basically just trigger fits of uncontrollable laughter from most people on this forum. I’ll just sit back and wait for the higher-ups to weigh in on these comments.

Just hold tight and wait for the official verdict on this locked thread; this isn't the place for anyone to start bickering or going back and forth.

I’m asking the Politics mods to please weigh in once they have an actual update regarding this discussion.
