Seth's Story

Man, ZgYawn just slapped me with two strikes 🤣
Not trying to start a whole new thread since this one’s already about you, but can someone explain why bilokoje didn't get flagged for a post almost identical to mine?

shadowpilot8 said:Dude, are you actually serious right now 🙂? Trying to troll us with this 😉?
The thread was pretty pointless, just baiting people.
Just let him be

🤷

PS. I wouldn't mind hearing from another mod too, not just you 🙂

wanderinglynx85 said:honestly, you people are just spineless... (not talking about Sasha, obviously)... I mean, seriously, why don't you just start a dedicated thread for bashing the admins? I wouldn't even be able to stand being around you guys if that happened—this whole thing feels like a straight-up insult to the mod team.

The classified ads are a bit further down the page.

What exactly qualifies as "small children" in your book? ☕
Sure, he did—but he didn't specify exactly how he screwed up. In my view, hollowtrucker77 is one of the more organized leaders here, but nobody is perfect. 😉

Yeah, I live for admin approval—without it, my entire existence would be meaningless. I've been haunting this forum since 2003 under various handles, watching a parade of amateurs pass through with moderator privileges while only a handful of the real veterans remained—people like Cats, September, and hollowtrucker77...

My post count means about as much to me as last year's snow, and an admin's opinion of my insignificance matters even less...

Yo sash, go ahead and ban me. ☕

hollowtrucker77 said:urbanhawk17, look, I’m asking you to please just go back, read my previous post one more time—really carefully this time—and then look at your response to it.
If you and your little group want to play dumb for fun, that’s on you, but maybe do it somewhere else where you aren't bothering anyone.

Look, I am just asking you to give me one single reason why I got that first warning, which ended up being the whole reason I got banned in the end.

I’ll admit, the second warning was fair enough, and I’m not arguing that one (you issued it), but I am questioning the third one (which wasn't you, that was Tyndall).

I’m not playing games here; I just don't like that smiley icon. Half the football world would probably agree with me on that. I even submitted a suggestion to replace it via the official PDF meant for those things, didn't I?

And if you think I was messing around in the football section just to be funny, I wasn't. Like I said, bans on the football board happen because of trolling over on the Premiership, and strangely enough, moderators themselves volunteer to troll and end up getting banned.

To me, it feels like opening a 'Champions League' thread on the football board and getting banned for it—it's a paradox and a complete disregard for the rules of this forum that you keep citing.

Show me one thing. Just one rule that justifies my warning.

Just be fair and admit you made a mistake.

Your only explanation is that we're being ridiculous and that you have no intention of explaining the ban, which, honestly, is kind of ridiculous itself.🙂

hollowtrucker77, check this out.🙂

Look, I’m not trying to meddle, but I really should. This guy is asking for an explanation regarding his first and third penalties. That third one came straight from Tyndall—maybe Tyndall can finally show up and explain that one, just like you need to explain your first. I mean, what did you actually explain besides absolutely nothing?🤷

He already admitted his second penalty was deserved.

Honestly, though—I have no idea how you guys managed to ban urbanhawk17 and Chir at the same time..🙏🙏🙏

urbanhawk17 said:I have a serious issue with how the admin ( 😕 ) hollowtrucker77 handles things.

He banned me for absolutely no reason, just because I started a thread here... which is exactly where it belonged.

Why are you even surprised? 🤷

He slapped me with a three-day ban for "trolling" over on the PŽK boards.

It was just a harmless little post... 👎

Total disgrace... 👎

placidfalcon4 said:hollowtrucker77, tell us the story.🙂

Look, I’m not trying to step on anyone's toes here, but honestly, it feels like the right time to jump in. You’re sitting there asking for an explanation regarding that first and third card, and frankly, we're all waiting. That third card came courtesy of none other than Tyndall, so maybe it’s about time Tyndall actually shows up and explains what was going through his head with that one. And while we're at it, you should probably explain your own first card too—because, if I'm being blunt, what exactly did you even explain? It felt like a whole lot of nothing.🤷

He actually went ahead and admitted that his second yellow was totally deserved.

I honestly can't wrap my head around how you guys actually managed to pull off banning both papija and Alex Cook. It’s just baffling, really.🙏🙏🙏

Let’s take it slow here: you go ahead and open some completely pointless thread just because you aren't a fan of a smiley face.
You’re gonna get a ban for opening such a pointless thread.
What part of this is still unclear?
And then you go ahead and start insulting people, only to end up getting slapped with a warning card for being abusive.
And then you go right ahead and start another thread just to act surprised, only to inevitably end up getting banned anyway.

I mean, seriously, which part of this is actually unclear? How much more time am I supposed to waste explaining something that’s staring everyone right in the face, and exactly how long does someone have to play dumb before the permanent bans finally start rolling in?

If you ask me, the group mentioned above really ought to be feeling pretty grateful for the sheer amount of patience the local moderators and site admins have been showing them lately.

hollowtrucker77 said:Let’s break this down slowly: you start some pointless thread because you don't like a specific emoji,
then you get a warning just for starting a useless topic.
Which part of that isn't clear?
Then you start insulting people and get a strike for verbal abuse.
Then you open another thread acting confused, and finally, you get the ban.

So, what exactly is unclear here? How much time should we waste explaining the obvious, and how long does someone have to play dumb before the permanent bans actually start rolling in?

From where I'm sitting, the group mentioned above should probably just be grateful for how patient the mods and admins here have been.

So, according to you, starting a thread asking for 🤦 something equally pointless follows that same logic.

Like I said, give me one actual reason for my first warning, because what you're saying doesn't count as a reason.

And don't try to pin a second warning on me; I already admitted I deserved that one.

p.s. Are you threatening me with a permanent ban?

hollowtrucker77 said:Let’s break this down simply: you start a pointless thread because you hate an emoji,
you get a warning for starting a useless thread.
Which part isn't clicking here??
Then you get toxic and get a warning for being toxic.
Then you open another thread acting confused until you finally get a permanent ban.

So what's still unclear? How much time do we have to waste explaining the obvious, and how long does someone have to play dumb before the permabans actually start rolling?

From where I'm sitting, the group mentioned above should probably just be grateful for the patience the mods and admins show here.

If we can make threads to add new emojis, why can't we make threads to remove old ones? Why are those okay but these aren't? Especially since the one he's asking about is basically the same thing as 🤣 and 😂 anyway.

Also, I don't get why someone gets a warning on the PŽK board for asking for an explanation regarding a warning they haven't even received a real reason for yet. Isn't that literally what this sub is for?

And third, please answer my previous post—why did I get a warning when others didn't?

hollowtrucker77 said:Let's walk through this step-by-step: you start a pointless thread just because you don't like some smiley face
you get a warning because the thread is useless
which part of that isn't crystal clear??
then you start insulting people and get a strike for being abusive
then you open yet another thread acting confused—and finally, you get banned

So, what's left to explain? How much time should we waste explaining the obvious, and how long does someone have to play dumb before the permanent bans actually start dropping??

From where I'm sitting, the group mentioned above should be grateful for the patience shown by the local moderators and admin staff here.

Sorry friend, I don't agree at all.

Look, he opened a thread that you personally found useless. Fine. Just explain why it doesn't make sense, and close it—no strikes needed. That’s how my experience with forum mods usually goes. Besides, if the topic belongs in the right section, then having 100 threads like that is better than none. Second, that second strike is just the inevitable result of an unnecessary first one—though, okay, I'll give you that.

Then comes the third strike because he complains on the official feedback PDF meant for stuff like this.😕 The end result? A ban, naturally, without any actual explanation.

The only thing that's obvious here is that you guys reacted "hastily and without much thought"🙂, only to end up threatening permanent bans against the 1.3% of users who don't deserve them.🙂

hollowtrucker77 Asks:
Let's take it slow.: You open up? Just a random topic. So, you don't like the smiley? Why is that?
You’re gonna get banned for starting such a pointless thread.
Which part stays here? Unclear?

Sorry, but what’s the point of this thread? Since when does anyone care if someone doesn't like a stupid smiley face? This is it. Right? 🤷

Can someone please walk me through this? I’m completely lost.

😕

Note: Looks like the author’s been banned. 🙏 Even though he’s constantly sucking up to you people. 🤣 But the thread is still live.🤷 I can't believe he got banned just because of her.

This topic is absolutely pointless. It couldn't be any more trivial if it tried. 😁

Aside from us having a little fun at the author's expense. 😬

😕😕

I’ll give you that much: let's take it slow. 😉

I guess I haven't heard back yet ☕

🙂

So, we're really just not gonna take four minutes to actually answer? Just waiting until we all forget about this?

hollowtrucker77, seriously—stop acting like Sanders.☕

shadowpilot8 said:Man, are you playing dumb or something🙂?

Matthew Anderson4 said:I get the feeling ZgYawn is just acting crazy🤷

This might be my favorite part
🙏 When
bilokoje
calls me crazy, I guess that's fine. It’s normal. But when Matthew Anderson4 claims hollowtrucker77 is losing it, well, that’s where we have an issue. That’s practically grounds for dismissal. The bias here is pretty glaring, I suppose.🙏 🙏

🙂

Whoops, just stumbled upon this thread .
How does a thread like this pass the test while some other posts get nuked just for using emojis? A woman starts a topic just to say the forum feels weird—no complaints, no demands, nothing. And of course, she gets zero response.

Poor thing. She’s constantly getting banned. Maybe they just felt bad for her? The girl genuinely has issues. 🙂

But let's be real: she used to be a forum favorite. Now? Everyone is just fed up. People can be ruthless. Instead of telling her to get it together, they just sit back and enjoy her antics—which, by the way, can be pretty tasteless. 😢

The truth is also that when she gets a warning, the people who jump on her bandwagon and join the trolling don't face any consequences.

Though, sometimes I wonder if she isn't actually trolling at all. Is she just... a little eccentric? 😢

Don't be cruel. Besides, the thread is locked. I wouldn't have the heart to ban them over this specific topic. 🙂

reddriver35 said:. She’s got issues, though. 🙂

I think most of them are 🙂

Alright, looks like the person who handed me this ban isn't checking in.

So I’m asking here instead—you want to tell me why I got banned, or what?
