In accordance with the card-key-threat-partial management policy of our "kind" administration, from the very top comes a public call to present—and I am quoting here—"concrete evidence and claims" regarding the administration's performance.
A full list of all concrete evidence and claims concerning what we have witnessed lately in the way this administration operates would easily exceed the maximum character limit for a single post—so, I think it is much better to select one exemplary instance that perfectly (r)eveals the current state of affairs in how this forum is managed.
To be specific, a certain "long-term" (I assume technical, though it hardly matters) administrator has recently appeared on the Admin Forum and has begun trolling everyone in sight. This individual approaches forum participation with an attitude reminiscent of "the forum as it used to be," essentially doing whatever he pleases and writing whatever he wants. However, the issue is that if 90% of his posts here were written by some "ordinary mortal"—by any chance—they would be sanctioned with the entire spectrum of penalties that the current kind administration is increasingly and rather nervously waving around. (For instance, off-topic cards are flying at a completely benign and, until now, peaceful thread about "Blue Paw," and that too during an off-topic discussion *about* "Blue Paw.")
On the other hand, over at AxMi, every single absurdity goes unpunished: everything from elementary trolling and chatter to directing dissatisfied users toward another forum (which is actually one of the reasons why the current kind administration inherited its predecessor, the unkind) all the way up to direct insults toward interlocutors ("don't bullshit me").
So, what is our kind administration doing to make this stop? Nothing, of course. Actually, my apologies: perhaps they are trying to do something, but without any success whatsoever. Or, let me correct myself again: what truly stands out as being beyond the pale is being deleted (presumably so no one saw it, presumably so no one noticed), while everything else is simply left alone. I see nothing, I hear nothing—nothing is happening, nothing is happening...
Why is this a problem? It is quite simple: the fact that the administration has been unable for so long to ensure that one of its own administrators—that is, someone from their team—stops engaging in the exact behaviors for which ordinary forum members receive sanctions and threads get locked, (r)eveals the true state of the administration's reputation, credibility, competence, and ability to resolve issues. This is especially true in situations where they lack the absolute brute force advantage of issuing cards, bans, partial suspensions, or those ingenious plans involving inventing clones or orchestrating collective strategies behind the curtain... which they clearly possess when dealing with ordinary users. Administrator AxMi has, entirely unintentionally, shown us what things really look like "when the sun hides behind a cloud."
He has demonstrated that the actual strength of the current kind administration lies exclusively in the application of blunt, raw force—specifically where that force can be applied.
Those were the claims—the following are the proofs—and these are drawn exclusively from the Admin Forum, which is unique and particularly seriously moderated and serves, to quote, "to make the forum better and more polite" (not to mention that the majority of quotes come from humiliated "Questions for the Admin Forum," which was zealously scrubbed of trolling and off-topic remarks).
(Jews have a "modus operandi"?!—users have had hate speech cards thrown at them instantly for far less than that.)

Let me repeat myself: all of these quotes are pulled directly from the PŽK—not from some informal, casual chat thread.
You all asked for concrete evidence and specific claims regarding the appeal against the administration's conduct? Well, here is your concrete evidence and your claims.

Look, if you're going to be this incredibly sensitive about everything—especially when, by some stroke of pure coincidence, it involves your specific religion why don't you just head over to some other forum where everyone thinks exactly like you do and enjoy yourself there.
(honestly, this is one of the primary reasons why the old administration was replaced by the current one)
slycrane94 said:I'm not an admin involved in high-level policy making, so frankly, I couldn't care less about that.
I’d prefer it if people didn't label those of us with a common cold as "sick people" either. It sounds terribly distasteful to me, and honestly, it leaves me feeling quite depressed.

How about this instead? Since apparently large images are such a massive grievance that they aren't allowed? Does that make you feel better now?
Problem solved.

I'm 13 years old. But I am exceptionally gifted and mature, so I practically pass for 15.
Gifted in all three PMs.
El Niño for the admin, the president, and basically God himself!
We are such a modern forum—and oh, how eco-conscious we are, using nothing but green energy. The little problem arises when the sun goes down or the wind stops blowing and we run out of power.
It would have been nicer to treat people like you with the same courtesy.
Oh, give me a break. You’re acting like you’re some kind of saint. If you’re going to be this incredibly sensitive about a little bit of profanity here and there, then maybe just move to America—people there practically live to act all high and mighty.

Oh, excuse me, I’m just a little girl who would *love* to sit around answering polls.
