Moderation is ruining the PDF policy

I just want to point out that if there aren't any crosses on this forum—since "offenses" aren't cured through confession, but rather through bans
—then logically, there shouldn't be any in government agencies either (which, let's face it, will probably become private corporations pretty soon anyway). 😁
In those settings, misconduct is handled with terminations and fines rather than soul-searching. 😁

Ryan Vaughn7 said:I already explained why those posts were removed. I laid out the reasons and provided plenty of examples. Honestly, I have no intention of dragging this out with you given how subjective you're being.

As for the post you linked, you were banned after what felt like five warnings about discussing moderation on this specific sub-forum. Which, as it turns out, you eventually realized.

Take care.

Well, I had to address you directly... You practically invited this...

You’ve deleted my posts two or three times when I was merely quoting you—only you, and absolutely nothing else. Why is it that you delete a post containing your own quotes, yet leave your original rants untouched?

Looking right now at the thread regarding George W. Bush and the crosses, I see a significant number of posts from just a little while ago have also been wiped out. Go ahead then—explain to me why, for instance, a post where I cited an example of attitudes toward the cross in Canada was removed. We cite examples from all over Europe; why does an example from Canada suddenly become controversial?

If you didn't delete it, then let whoever did step forward... And let them explain themselves.

Thanks again for confirming my points...

Alright, go ahead and beg for 85 Hail Marys, 40 apostolic creeds, 150 Hail Marys, and 90 Hail Marys if you want me to finally stop handing out those penalties.

It’s more like an epidemic spreading among the moderators—excluding the exceptions, of course—who have started treating this forum like their own private playground, and I suppose you are the most glaring example of that phenomenon.

Oh, that "voice of reason" routine has been hitting hard from the very start. What can you do? 🤷life is unfair.

I haven't posted anything on this forum for a few weeks now because the harassment from Ryan Vaughn7 has become absolutely unbearable.
He’s constantly biased and hands out bans based on his own arbitrary rules. If you call someone a firebrand, a fanatic, or a stone-waller, nobody cares, but God forbid you refer to someone as a communist, a Bolshevik, or say anything against Bush, he takes it personally and puts you on a blacklist to be purged until you're gone.
That’s what happens when someone uses this forum to vent their own frustrations.

Well, it wasn't quite like that back then—at least not in my memory. I seem to recall much more responsible days.

Honestly, I probably shouldn't have to deal with you lot either 🙂

Look, just handle it via some fast-track procedure so everyone else can actually have a decent conversation. Plus, it’ll probably shut you guys up for a few days. 😁

Bravo, Ryan Vaughn7!! 😁 Man, I really am always on the winning side.

Coming from someone who hasn't even received a single warning during my entire forum career, 😁
kudos to you.🙏

Once again, you're proving just how "professional" you are as a moderator by airing my private business in front of the whole community.
Deleting my posts is just your way of trying to flag me.
I’ve personally witnessed plenty of users getting banned for absolutely no reason. You dodge any topic you find inconvenient, threaten to delete threads about "presenting a defense at The Hague," or move discussions about the "bad pit" over to the mental asylum section, and so on.👍

I can totally see it in your avatar !!!!

Ryan Vaughn7, tell this guy to stop defending you...😁

I see you've gone full fanatic now... Every single one of my posts from the last two or three hours has been wiped out...

Everyone can see that. And trust me, it isn't. 😉

Are we actually going to discuss something specific here, or is this just a thread for you people to sit around and mess with Ryan Vaughn7? 🤷 🙂

Funny how you only choose to answer half of my post, isn't it? ☕

We are here to criticize his moderation, yet he always manages to do this... He pivots the topic toward whatever suits him best... Now, he’d clearly prefer if we treated this entire thing as nothing more than a joke... 😉

I actually find the whole idea of moderating this guy pretty interesting🙂

But honestly, once they told me who he was, everything just clicked.☕

He’s definitely the heavy hitter waiting in the wings.😁

What did they tell you—who is he?

I'm curious about this too.
