How Mr. Smoogj is using moderator powers to blackmail forum members...

ambermason16 said:At the risk of sounding completely dense... I just don't follow this whole S.B.S. thing... how does it even work? 😕

I'm not taking sides here, I genuinely just don't get it... 🙂

I'm in the same boat, I don't understand it either...🤷
Since he refused to offer any actual clarification to any of the other women on this forum... it seems more than obvious that this is nothing more than blatant trolling...🤷

Rachel Sullivan2 said:Thank God someone actually had the sense to write this... 😳

Raymond Sanchez7... honestly, how do you even function like this? 🤷

I’ve run into you across several different threads over the last few days, and this exact same pattern keeps repeating itself... quite predictably...
And look... sorry... but you really are being incredibly exhausting... 😢
Now, I know I tend to get into heated arguments with MrBeast myself, but even I can admit he handles his business fairly decently...
Even in this space...
Larry Cruz51 unfortunately chose a rather absurd example here, though one could certainly find plenty of instances where MrBeast is being "difficult" if they looked hard enough without... 😍 further... 😁
But personally, I don't have an issue with him... 🤷

Anyway, what I meant to say was... just relax and try engaging in some actual conversation like a normal person would... 😉

I simply cannot believe it!
I used to think you were a charming presence on this forum, but apparently, my three posts regarding February Sobbing—which, by the way, is trending like crazy on Cookie right now—have managed to strike a nerve... 🤷
Furthermore, just to inform you in a polite and orderly fashion: for those annoying, tedious, or unreadable users, there is always that lovely little feature called "ignore," and since you haven't been promoted to moderator yet, you aren't under any obligation to read my posts... 😉

Besides, I would argue this is all getting a bit off-topic... 🤷

Brenda Carter24 said:I seriously can't believe this!
I actually thought you were a pretty cool person on this forum, but I had no idea my three posts about February Sobbing—which, by the way, are blowing up on cookies right now—would hit a nerve with you like this.🤷

Honestly, I’d say this is totally off-topic.🤷

Look, nothing you said hit me at all.😉

I was just sitting there observing your whole vibe and how you carry yourself, nothing more...
And now I'm looking back and seeing that exact same energy in three or four other threads since then.
I honestly don't get why the hell you feel the need to go after everyone like a heat-seeking missile, constantly trying to prove yourself with such aggressive energy.🤷

And what part of "which cookie is off-topic" are you missing? I just dropped in to say MrBeast is doing a solid job, and then I saw you back in your element again.😕

In which specific category does this fall? Could you perhaps outline the relevant topics?
If I am certain of my position and possess the evidence required to substantiate it, should I really be discouraged from defending my perspective and viewpoint?...
And what about the opposing side of the argument?
I implore you...☕

As I previously mentioned, you have been placed on ignore.

Brenda Carter24 said:I don't get it either.🤷
Since he wouldn't bother explaining himself to any other woman on this forum... it's blindingly obvious this is nothing but pure trolling.🤷

Based on what I’ve seen here, I personally don't think you were trolling at all. Honestly, I don't even see the issue. 🤷

But I also highly doubt that MrBeast made it his life's mission to harass you out of pure malice. 😁

There is definitely a reason for this—even if it's just a massive misunderstanding. 🙂

Frankly, I couldn't care less what his specific reasoning is for this biased moderation—which, I must admit, has started to become quite bothersome—but since it appears I am not the only one to speak up regarding this thread where he and another forum member are clearly attempting to pivot the entire conversation toward me... which is blatant off-topic trolling, in my estimation... I want to be clear: I am neither northerncrane4 nor am I here to engage in a petty, endless feud with him until tomorrow morning, yet I do reserve the right to stand by fellow users regarding issues I have personally observed for quite some time, much longer than this specific topic has even existed, especially since deleting posts to cover one's tracks seems to be his standard operating procedure...😉

At this stage, either he undergoes a genuine change in conduct, or he simply needs to step down from his moderator position...🤷

Brenda Carter24 said:(...)

Look, it’s pretty simple: he either changes his tune or he needs to step down from the moderator seat once and for all.🤷

Kanye West, I feel like you totally overlooked the third option here:

Either you get kicked off the forum entirely...

which, honestly, feels like the more likely outcome to me.

Brenda Carter24 said:Look, either this guy steps up and changes his ways, or he needs to step down from being a moderator right now.🤷

See? This is exactly what I’m talking about...
Honestly, how am I even supposed to have a conversation with you when you start building arguments like that? 🤷
I just lose all motivation to keep going. 🤷

urbangull90 said:Kanye West, I think you totally overlooked the third option:

Are you planning on getting banned from this forum soon? Because...

Honestly, that seems more likely.

😁

(Look, I know one-emoji posts aren't exactly high art here, but... 😁 )

northerncrane4 said: To my absolute astonishment, everyone participating in this thread seems to have completely given up on the debate, right from the moment I first chimed in...

because there's really no point in trying to argue with you. You're always right, naturally. 😍

I also have a formal complaint regarding the moderator known as northerncrane4.
Essentially, earlier today on the Sunday at 2 thread within the Television subforum, I submitted a high-quality post—one devoid of any insults or trolling—which,
well, simply didn't align with the specific mindset of the aforementioned moderator, who seems to tolerate nothing but posts that mirror his own views. He deleted my contribution and sent
me a private message warning me that if I continued to express an opinion that was, to put it mildly, contrary
to his own—specifically regarding my utter disdain for a certain individual whom I don't even find worthy of such contempt—I would receive a ban for trolling.
Since I am familiar with how administrators operate, I understand that deleted posts remain clearly visible to them, and I assume this forum functions under similar principles; therefore, I am requesting a thorough
review to determine whether my post actually contained any insults, nonsense, or troll-like content that justified its removal, alongside a brief investigation into the conduct of said

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Here is today's post from user placidmarlin3 on the thread "Elvis Presley at Walmart":

placidmarlin3 said:I am in total agreement with you.👍

The self-proclaimed intellectuals on this forum have spiraled so deep into an intellectual black hole of endless philosophical nonsense that we’ll soon be over on the Economy subforum debating the CIA intentions of some local gossip—someone who didn't even give us a "thanks for shopping" after three seconds,
but waited five and a half instead.☕

... and here is a post (deleted by me) from the thread "Sunday at 2":

placidmarlin3 said:God, these debates...

If a chatty singer like Madonna can make it, if Jerry Perenchio can, or even those idiots Green Day, then surely February Deer—who is basically Dr. Science compared to them all—can too.

At the very least... they have style and actually deliver what their name implies.

On the other hand, I've always been fascinated by people who obsess over inferior subjects and grant them so much space in their tiny lives—exactly what some people do on this thread.
A third party, like myself, would simply comment from a neutral standpoint on the living paradox of such behavior.

In both instances, user placidmarlin3, for reasons known only to herself, disparages the participants in these discussions. Consequently, I sent her a PM warning that her next post of this nature would earn a ban for trolling. This triggered her current reaction. If the admins wish to weigh in, I would request they do so.

I wouldn't go so far as to say I was painting anyone in a bad light😉, but rather
I was merely making a subtle jab at your general vibe and the way you moderate—which, frankly, often devolves into posts that feel less like moderation and more like a smear campaign. Your entire approach reeks of an intense narcissism, as if you’re trying to mask a total lack of depth by performing this exaggerated, faux-intellectual persona over topics that are, quite honestly, trivial😉 :

p.s. the first thread is about a commercial featuring Elvis Presley; if we’re supposed to derive the very meaning of human
existence from a jingle like that, then please accept my apologies for my childish observation😉

placidmarlin3 said:I wouldn't go so far as to say I've been painting anyone in a bad light—not really.😉

No? Then try reading it again—carefully this time.

placidmarlin3 said:These self-proclaimed intellectuals on this forum are so obsessed with their endless philosophical black holes that we’ll soon be over on the Economy subforum debating the secret motives of some local mobster—all because a cashier failed to say, "Thanks for shopping, have a nice day," after a three-second transaction.
Even after just five and a half—it’s already happening.

placidmarlin3 said:On the other hand—I've always been fascinated by people who spend their limited lives obsessing over inferior subjects—much like those currently cluttering this thread.
Someone else—a third party like myself—could step in from a neutral standpoint and comment on the living paradox inherent in that kind of behavior.

This isn't a discussion—it’s not even a debate over the topic at hand—it's just... Ad hoc—just a quick fix for a temporary problem. Discrediting the conversation itself instead of actually addressing the topic—classic trolling.

Here’s another one for you:

I think the part where you politely imply—using both an image and your words—how banal I have to be for you to actually understand me, is really just your way of indirectly signaling that we're at odds.😉

Calling this trolling or assuming I'm being disparaging just because the post mentions MrBeast is a stretch. I see no reason to defend my posts; I haven't directly insulted or belittled anyone. I simply stated my perspective. In the first thread, I was discussing the ideas of a user I quoted, noting that I actually agreed with them, and in the second,
I felt it was unnecessary to drag someone through the mud (in this specific case, someone like Elena Velaja) when there have been far worse examples handled with nothing more than a bit of charmingly ironic sarcasm or a childish observation. But since I already apologized to you—even though I wasn't targeting anyone specifically—if somehow you felt personally called out by what I wrote, I don't see how that's relevant here, much less justified by those oddly friendly threats you've been sending via private message.🤷

Raymond Sanchez7, is that actually you? 😬

So😕

And who exactly are you, and what makes you feel like you have any business weighing in on this thread?
Do you actually have a bone to pick with MrBeast too?

Olivia Moore51 said:Raymond Sanchez7—is that actually you? 😬

Oh, really? I guess I'm just a naive fool then... 😵

I happen to be quite well-informed on this matter, a fact that wouldn't take much effort for anyone to verify, so there’s really no need for the collective panic or the sudden influx of new conspiracy theories😉

Ladies, let me tell you, this setup is solid 🙏 🙏 🙏
