Richard Perez3 said:So, you aren't even ready to moderate that sub-forum, and honestly, you can't even come up with a suggestion for someone who actually fits your criteria—mostly because, from what I can see, you can't find anyone worthy of the job anyway.

But we can't even go with the only way that actually works—which is just trial and error—while none of the people on Reddit who actually want a better mod are willing to point us toward their own picks.

Are you freaking kidding me? Seriously. 😁 Nothing to it, we don't have any other way. 🤷

I get it, I really do. I just find myself wondering sometimes if everyone else on Reddit actually sees it too. 😉 Look, after seeing some of the stuff going on lately, I don't think that's how it works. It honestly feels kind of ridiculous to tell moderators they have to carry the weight of social responsibility just because a whole pack of people decided to act completely antisocial and irresponsible.

Look, even though you said you don't think you'd make a good moderator for Politics, if they shoved you into that role anyway, would you actually be willing to change your mind and put some real work into that subforum?

I’d like to offer a gentle word of caution to the administration—the folks at the very top of the pyramid—as well as to the moderators, who serve as their direct representatives. It feels like a necessary observation, though I wonder if my perspective might be slightly off. Am I mistaken in seeing things this way?😁 It’s entirely possible that the moderators over there are actually serving a completely different purpose than what they claim, though that’s certainly how it has come across to me.🤣

If I wasn't clear enough in my previous response, let me be much more direct with you: it is going to be incredibly difficult—honestly, nearly impossible—for you to find anyone from Politics or any regular on the Forum who actually understands the situation. I'm talking about someone who doesn't just pick up their political insights from newspapers or news cycles. It’s going to be a massive uphill battle to find anyone willing to step up as a moderator after Michael Adams2 was appointed to the role.

It really just comes down to a matter of core principles, a solid upbringing, and having a genuine sense of taste.

Anyone who fails to adhere strictly to those specific parameters will inevitably find themselves forced to compromise.🙂 They’re giving in.

I’m certainly not saying this to be offensive, but it really is just a simple, undeniable fact: there are some people out there who truly couldn't care less about any of this, and honestly, this topic has been covered more than enough times already.

No, just so we don't lose sight of the bigger picture.

Jerry Garcia said:I haven't the slightest clue... 🤷

Look, we’ve always operated on the assumption that a high-quality forum user makes a great moderator, but that is COMPLETELY wrong. Still, damn it, what else do we have? There isn't any other standard for picking moderators—not just regarding Politics, but anywhere. If there’s some other paradigm out there that actually yields better results, let's lay it out and try applying it...

Thanks, I knew someone would eventually show up with a solid suggestion. I'll take a look... we'll discuss it... 🙂

@Sarah Wilson95: Just because you post in the Politics section doesn't mean the rest of this Reddit isn't just as high quality. Sports journalists are basically just tabloid hacks stealing content from the sports subreddits... Living... On the "let's gossip a bit" segment, Ana Ugarković brings up the exact same stuff people complain about here in her shows (just a few examples that come to mind). And one more thing: my coworker at work mentioned on Tuesday that she read something on Reddit... 😉 I have absolutely no doubts about just how much power this Reddit holds... 😉

Fair enough, I can certainly go along with that. The only reason I brought up Politics is because it’s easily one of the most visited sections on the site, second only to Ljes.😁Those two things seem to be in a constant state of motion, almost like they're perpetually chasing one another, and since I've seen plenty of examples laid out in the news over at the New York Times, I figured it was worth bringing them up here.

Tim, if everything is actually unfolding exactly the way you’re describing—and I truly believe it is—then isn't the current state of Politics nothing short of shameful, if not outright repulsive?
Is Anderlon truly bringing shame upon himself? I can't help but wonder if he actually realizes the kind of "sacrifice" he’s making to the American digital landscape with this behavior.😁

Look, this has been dragging on for years now, and honestly, things are only getting more intense. It’s not that we haven't seen any movement or that we're stuck in some kind of stagnant status quo; if anything, the situation feels much more volatile today than it did just a few years back. And you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned the sheer number of people involved—it's growing, and that changes everything.

Rachel Sanchez11 said:I wasn't talking about you. An admin shouldn't be responsible for this, because at the end of the day, Politics is just one tiny section out of maybe 30 or 50 total. Having the head admin deal with these issues would be like asking the CEO of General Motors to personally fix a brake fluid issue on an Opel.

Having an Admin/supermod specifically for Politics would give the mods some real weight. You’d still be getting hit with the same appeals you get now, but the endless, toxic arguments would actually stop there.
And I clearly remember the details of when one guy in the Politics section got a permanent ban.
Get this: his name was Anderlon, and he was reinstated. Later on, he even got promoted.
Now, give me Mark Twain or Jeremy Diaz or driftingdriver who actually has authority over that guy. He's deserved a permanent ban a hundred times over by now


One Admin with direct backing from the head admin—someone who holds the line for the mods and can step in to permanently remove someone—would bring actual order to this place.
The mods could still do their jobs, bicker with users, explain their decisions, and defend their moderation, but those marathon debates would end instantly the moment someone hits the "stop" button. No more endless chatter, no more chasing ghosts.
Every subsequent post would just be a ban with a reason: "Clone of a permanently banned user..."

And now some guy is going to tell me that all the high-quality debaters will die off.
Well, I'll say this: plenty of people from that generation want a normal internet experience, but when they see the state of the Politics section, they just don't feel like writing, and that's how both Politics and the forum lose.
Who are we losing them to?
We're losing them to the people who have been polluting Politics for years and make every single discussion look exactly the same.
Go read some threads over there; they're all identical...

Edit:
By the way, Phoenix was banned 500 times until one night a certain lady finally had enough and snapped.
It wasn't until she made the call that the arguing actually stopped.

Also, it's easy to make a decision that makes everyone happy. But the decisions that nobody likes—not even you—are the ones made by the brave or those who have actually outgrown the nonsense.
And the worst decision of all is no decision at all!
Politics stays messy and is allowed to rot. Just read the sentence right above this one.

Which discussion died down? You honestly seem to have no idea what’s actually happening over on Politics. When were you even posting there? Or are you just lurking under an alt account? Maybe you used to post under an alt, or perhaps you're just one of those people in the "silent majority" who claims they're just watching because they're "too stupid" to join the fray? Or maybe you're just here for the eye candy? Ha?😁

But clearly, you're an absolute expert on everything.

You just know it all, don't you?

The situation with Phoenix is much more complicated than the simplified version you're presenting here. To put it bluntly, he was removed because of his views, but nobody has the guts to admit that out loud.

Besides, I'd suggest that if Bell or New York City, or whoever else has any real insight, took a look at his disciplinary record,

they'd see the truth. Are there many strikes? From which moderators? And what exactly were those missteps he supposedly made?
Then we can really get this conversation going.☕

What happens if it turns out Phoenix doesn't actually have many strikes? Or that they all came from a single moderator?

Do you really want me to sit here and detail exactly what kind of things are being written on Politics right now, or describe the types of characters that still inhabit that space today?

And considering some of them have even been mentioned here?

Is that really how we want to play this game?

Stop whining.
Phoenix got permanently banned, and honestly, it was deserved.
The same thing needs to happen to about 20 other people over there.
You keep claiming things haven't changed in years. Well, the people haven't changed either. Just look at the same old faces popping up on both sides...

And frankly, why do you even care what I write, what I read, or why I give a damn? All I know is I posted three times in the Politics section with this handle before the wolves started circling me. Since then, I’ve just been avoiding Politics altogether.

Look, I’m not some right-wing extremist or anything like that, and I don't hate anyone. I just hate violence. And you guys? You’re all just wallowing in verbal abuse.
I’m not a leftist, either. I can't stand the extremists on either side.
Is that clear enough for you now?

And tell the Phoenix crowd and their little brigade to stop blowing up my inbox with these long-winded ideological personal attacks.
I really don't feel like cleaning out my mailbox. I could probably just set up a free burner email and give them that address so they can clutter that up instead...


The main issue is that you and maybe five other users think Politics belongs to you. There you go...

No, just so we don't lose sight of the bigger picture.

🤣

Hey, Sarah Wilson95! Look, I might just send you a screenshot later so you can go at it with those needles, since it looks like you’re still totally obsessed... haha!

So, like... Revka mod? I mean, I guess we’re talking about that now? Maybe? Haha! Just throwing it out there!😂Man, if that actually happens... I mean, we’d be talking about the end of all logic, right? Seriously, it would just be total madness. Total chaos. Everything would basically go out the window!

Alright, let's just let obsessed Sarah Wilson95 run wild and talk all about this Forum!

Anderlon is such a total leftist, man, I swear! And of course, he’s totally loving it that everyone over at Politics belongs to his little crowd—you know, just a bunch of uneducated, clueless, zero-wit trolls, one after another. It's kind of wild, honestly.

If their main selling point is just that one girl, then man... you already know how desperate this whole situation is. I mean, honestly, it's kind of pathetic, don't you think? Maybe I'm being too harsh, but it really feels like they've got nothing else in the tank!

So, like, he’s been grinding for years trying to basically wipe out anyone with right-leaning views on the Forum, you know? And his big master plan is just appointing mods who are either straight-up trolls or mostly just these hardcore lefties. But honestly? It’s just not working. Like, at all. You can’t just force someone to be smart if they simply aren't. I mean, it's just impossible, right? Yeah, that's pretty much how it is.

Look, let's be real here—the term "leftist" isn't actually a bad thing on its own, you know? I mean, it's just a label. But when people start talking about that specific brand of, uh, old-school American leftist... man, that's a whole different story. It’s like talking about some relic from a bygone era that’s just totally lost in time and space. It’s basically someone who's stuck in the past and just constantly pushing outdated nonsense. I guess you could say they're just out of touch, maybe? Yeah, definitely.😁

So, like, you get ten conservatives banned, right? Just totally wiped out. But then, suddenly, one single banned leftist shows up and everyone just loses their minds! It’s like a massive uproar over nothing, I swear. Everyone starts making such a huge deal out of it... it's wild!

Look, Albatross, you really should’ve just gone ahead and banned those right-wingers one after another—just for being annoying or whatever, honestly—especially since your admins were totally covering your back the whole time. But then, the second you actually had the guts to ban a notorious troll like Constantinople, or even someone like Kevin Mitchell, they just totally blew you off. It was like, man, you can't do that! You should've known better, I guess. And especially when you shut down that thread about the cross... oof, yeah, that was basically your death warrant right there. Though, if I'm being real, maybe you shouldn't have closed it at all? I mean, we don't exactly need a ban to tear apart those uneducated left-wing trolls, you know what I mean?

Look, it doesn't even matter, okay? Like, the whole point is just... it’s rigged! If you go around banning dozens of conservatives, the admins basically give you a standing ovation. But the second you try to shut down one single leftist troll? Boom. You're the bad guy. It's totally one-sided, I guess.

Then you get people like Sarah Wilson95 and her whole crew just hysterically screaming at the PŽK and the admins about what’s happening. Honestly, it's wild. Like, she's out there basically trying to micromanage Politics from the shadows or whatever... I don't know, maybe? There's nothing more tragicomic in this world than watching that play out, I guess! 🤣

Man, Albatross, your bio is just straight-up terrible, even though you definitely had the potential to be great. But seriously, dude, you were pulling more censorship than they did back in Stalin’s day! I mean, banning posts about Mason? That was absolute madness. You’d just lock entire threads for no reason at all. Instead of actually moderating the discussion, you’d just shut the whole thing down. Like, what kind of logic is that? Seriously.

Honestly, why even bother wasting breath on an edge who just bans anyone whose opinion doesn't fit his little vibe? It’s such a joke. That whole resonator thing was just the beginning—like, where did that guy even come from? I mean, seriously, he hasn't written a single post worth reading. Not one! Total waste of time, I guess.

Man, Simba is basically being set up to run the whole damn camp. I mean, if everything is going strictly by the book, that guy doesn't even bother to look up or think—he just follows orders blindly. He actually took an entire thread over on Politics and turned it into a total circus just to pick on one random user, then went ahead and wiped out a few pages of perfectly legit posts too. It’s wild. Then you’ve got Anderlon, who just starts barking at him and goes off on a huge rant—mostly because, let’s be real, he can’t stand the guy no matter how much he tries to play it safe and follow the rules. And don't even get me started on New York City, who has honestly become such a pathetic, miserable little creature lately. It’s honestly a miracle how much nonsense people are willing to swallow just to grab a tiny bit of power. Seriously.

Politics is just being run by trolls now. Man, this Forum used to be such a legit brand, you know? You could actually sit down and read these genius posts from a whole bunch of users—it was so funny it’d practically make you lose your mind. But today? It’s just a total dumpster fire of trolls. Now people like revka and his crowd are the big stars...😁. It’s honestly bottom-of-the-barrel stuff.

But hey, that’s what administration wants, I guess. If their side can't stay on top naturally, they’ll just turn it into a troll paradise, and then anyone actually worth reading just gets lost in the noise.

So yeah, I barely go over there anymore, and honestly, I hope I don't have to go back at all soon.

It’s a total tragedy, really. Like, you’ve got these half-witted trolls who were basically handed power because they're good at making stupid jokes, and now they're out here sanctioning someone like Hrobato, who probably has more talent in his pinky finger than all of them combined in their entire brains. They won't even let him post! Can you believe how absurd that is? The mediocre people are constantly messing with the talented ones. It’s just like the country, too. And then we act surprised when the whole nation is a mess. The government basically functions on the same principle as this Forum. If the country is only as good as the Forum, then things are looking pretty grim. Just imagine the horror if you actually gave mods like this some real power in the US. What would that even look like?

Or like when they go after the Stoker, who is hands down one of the funniest guys (besides Phyla Linnot) to ever show up on this Forum. It’s like some middle schooler who wrote a cringey little love poem trying to shut up a legend like Krleža.

I’m not sure who this Jerry Garcia is—if it’s not just a new nickname for Cats, since I don't remember her from before—but man, she’s staying firm.

What else can you even expect? More of the same, I guess. Anderlon is just gonna keep hunting for ways to make sure the leftists take over the Forum. He’ll use whatever means necessary. But, uh, how he’s actually going to make those leftists smart? That’s the real question. Medical experiments are super risky and, like, way too expensive, so he probably won't pull the trigger on that. I mean, they probably don't matter *that* much to him anyway.

It seems everyone who usually claims to be so enlightened suddenly becomes incredibly dense when the topic shifts to the cross... If you're planning on being hypocrites, you might as well just stay quiet...☕

On-topic: I’d like to suggest some improvements to how this forum is moderated. Specifically, we need to actually utilize the report button more effectively—and I mean *actually* read what is being reported. Right now, someone can flag a post multiple times over several days and nothing happens. Then, out of nowhere, a response is issued to a provocateur, and suddenly they’re the ones getting a strike.
Basically, we need more engagement (from both moderators and regular users) regarding reporting problematic posts.

Of course you didn't notice when he was lying to you; that’s pretty much his trademark at this point. You really shouldn't, and frankly, you can't afford to, put any faith in a word from Michael Adams2. Hey!🙄🙄

By the way, have you noticed how he can identify Muslims just by looking at them on the street? He’ll spot someone passing by and instantly know they belong to that group, and honestly, he claims he can tell simply by their "losses" and "outbursts." It isn't necessarily about catching a literal scent of smoke or anything like that; it’s more of his poetic way of describing things, a little bit of dark humor he used to lighten the mood back on the Forum.

But then again, they gave him a pass on that too, much like they did with... I honestly can't even begin to wrap my head around the sheer level of frustration being expressed here right now. It’s one of those moments where everything just feels completely overwhelming, and you find yourself reaching for the most visceral, unfiltered way to vent that pent-up energy. Sometimes, there just aren't any polite or sophisticated words in the English language that quite capture that specific sense of absolute, unadulterated exasperation. And even their own simple ways. Science. I wonder what exactly they managed to drag along with them when they joined the Forum. He actually held the position of moderator! 😬
(I seem to recall that back then, Phoenix was really the only one anyone could actually see; otherwise, he’d spent years just sitting there on everyone's ignore list.🤷😁 Even though I suspect he managed to snag that quintessential statement of his—it’s quite a bold move for the Leader to be offering any kind of criticism. That’s really all there is to it. He left his entire army behind, and honestly, he’s just sitting there weeping bitterly over it.

So, after his 756th nervous breakdown and that absolute meltdown where he just started lashing out at everyone in sight, Torquemada either finally got cornered or decided to slink away with his tail between his legs—honestly, it doesn't much matter which. He made quite the exit, too; it was all very performative, full of empty threats, cursing, shouting, and insults thrown left and right. But then, as if nothing had ever happened, he just drifted right back into the picture like it was all part of the plan.
It seems like you might have cut off your message mid-sentence. If there was a specific thought or topic you wanted me to expand upon, please feel free to share it, and I will be happy to provide a thoughtful, detailed response in my usual style.
Let him have his way with us. It’s better this way, really—it gives our children a chance to see exactly what kind of challenges they might face in the world, and learn how to navigate them.

And now we get to the actual facts regarding my buddy, who apparently considers himself one of those "Anderlon left-wingers."😂 They won't let him write. They just stand there staring him down and handing out penalties like they're going out of style. It’s blatant harassment, honestly—just picking on the guy through verbal jabs and constant scrutiny.

Just imagine the sheer injustice of it all—instead of actually taking a moment to listen to the wisdom of Michael Adams2 and his thoughtful discourse, they just turn a deaf ear.
If you could just let go for a second and allow yourself to truly indulge in a sense of humor—to the point where you’re practically doubling over—you might actually find some relief.

Because on the Forum, this user is sending off the Muslims like this (quite the grand procession, wouldn't you agree?):

Hrobato said:You might want to work on your manners a little bit; you aren't in Anatolia anymore.

Man, I am seriously craving some time over on Politics.

The final resolution is finally here! 👍

P.S. But seriously... where on earth did that resonator disappear to?😕😕I was just wondering, did I somehow miss the fact that 🤣
has completely vanished?

Can we get back to the main point though—how do we actually find a moderator who actually fits the vibe of the users here? 😁

Phoenix got permanently banned, and honestly, it was deserved.
The same thing needs to happen to about 20 other people over there.
You keep claiming things haven't changed in years. Well, the people haven't changed either. Just look at the same old faces popping up on both sides...

And frankly, why do you even care what I write, what I read, or why I give a damn? All I know is I posted three times in the Politics section with this handle before the wolves started circling me. Since then, I’ve just been avoiding Politics altogether.

Look, I’m not some right-wing extremist or anything like that, and I don't hate anyone. I just hate violence. And you guys? You’re all just wallowing in verbal abuse.
I’m not a leftist, either. I can't stand the extremists on either side.
Is that clear enough for you now?

And tell the Phoenix crowd and their little brigade to stop blowing up my inbox with these long-winded ideological personal attacks.
I really don't feel like cleaning out my mailbox. I could probably just set up a free burner email and give them that address so they can clutter that up instead...


The main issue is that you and maybe five other users think Politics belongs to you. There you go...

😵
I haven't quite grasped what your actual problem is, other than the contradiction of claiming you don't participate in Politics while seemingly knowing everything about it.

Regarding Phoenix—since he can't respond to you because of his permanent ban, and since you seem so eager to praise him, if you aren't actually afraid of a banned user, I suggest you head over to OFF or his specific corner to discuss the things that are bothering you.

I am certainly not acting as a secretary for you or him, but I'm feeling generous enough to offer this bit of friendly advice.😁

I guess this Forum is exactly what a populist platform should look like
It’s really designed for the general masses—you know, people with average or even below-average education and intellect
They seem happy enough with surface-level slogans and shouting matches, thinking they’re actually saving the country, the church, or the nation, especially if they can just report someone to a moderator to get them banned or find a mod who will silence anyone with a different perspective
For those of us with higher intelligence, though, this isn't really that kind of place
Maybe Pallas was the only truly good moderator; she actually tried to understand the context and what people were trying to say, even when she had her own opinions
Just like how there are experts in literature, social issues, or cooking
As for the rest, I wouldn't say much; I don't even recognize some of them since I haven't opened certain sub-forums, and some joined after I stopped reading everything except social sciences
I'm not quite sure where this sudden urge for "improvements" is coming from, but honestly, vuco, Michael Adams2, Obelix, crtica, Simba, and the others are perfect for the Politics sub-forum; half the users waste their energy trying to explain to them that diverse opinions exist and that not everyone is looking for a debate
Being a good moderator shouldn't be hard; I suppose you just need to be a decent person and show some empathy toward those who think differently

I have zero desire to talk to Phoenix. It's not because I hate him or anything, it's just... I'm not feeling it. If I did want to chat, he'd probably end up posting in Politics more often just to argue with those guys who are basically just failed ideological essayists, whether they're on the left or the right.

If you really want to understand where I'm coming from, here's a link to a thread.
I think everything will click for you once you see it:

http://www.forum.com/showthread.php?t=366186

If it still doesn't make sense why I stay out of Politics after that, then please, just let me stay in my ignorance. Don't make me feel like I'm obligated to explain myself to you.

Edit: @Jeremy Sanders46
For what it's worth, I actually love your posts in History—your knowledge of coins, castles, and all that stuff is pretty great.

Michael Adams2 said:🤣

Hey, Sarah Wilson95! Look, I might just send you a screenshot later so you can go at it with those needles, since it looks like you’re still totally obsessed... haha!

So, like... Revka mod? I mean, I guess we’re talking about that now? Maybe? Haha! Just throwing it out there!😂Man, if that actually happens... I mean, we’d be talking about the end of all logic, right? Seriously, it would just be total madness. Total chaos. Everything would basically go out the window!

Alright, let's just let obsessed Sarah Wilson95 run wild and talk all about this Forum!

Anderlon is such a total leftist, man, I swear! And of course, he’s totally loving it that everyone over at Politics belongs to his little crowd—you know, just a bunch of uneducated, clueless, zero-wit trolls, one after another. It's kind of wild, honestly.

If their main selling point is just that one girl, then man... you already know how desperate this whole situation is. I mean, honestly, it's kind of pathetic, don't you think? Maybe I'm being too harsh, but it really feels like they've got nothing else in the tank!

So, like, he’s been grinding for years trying to basically wipe out anyone with right-leaning views on the Forum, you know? And his big master plan is just appointing mods who are either straight-up trolls or mostly just these hardcore lefties. But honestly? It’s just not working. Like, at all. You can’t just force someone to be smart if they simply aren't. I mean, it's just impossible, right? Yeah, that's pretty much how it is.

Look, let's be real here—the term "leftist" isn't actually a bad thing on its own, you know? I mean, it's just a label. But when people start talking about that specific brand of, uh, old-school American leftist... man, that's a whole different story. It’s like talking about some relic from a bygone era that’s just totally lost in time and space. It’s basically someone who's stuck in the past and just constantly pushing outdated nonsense. I guess you could say they're just out of touch, maybe? Yeah, definitely.😁

So, like, you get ten conservatives banned, right? Just totally wiped out. But then, suddenly, one single banned leftist shows up and everyone just loses their minds! It’s like a massive uproar over nothing, I swear. Everyone starts making such a huge deal out of it... it's wild!

Look, Albatross, you really should’ve just gone ahead and banned those right-wingers one after another—just for being annoying or whatever, honestly—especially since your admins were totally covering your back the whole time. But then, the second you actually had the guts to ban a notorious troll like Constantinople, or even someone like Kevin Mitchell, they just totally blew you off. It was like, man, you can't do that! You should've known better, I guess. And especially when you shut down that thread about the cross... oof, yeah, that was basically your death warrant right there. Though, if I'm being real, maybe you shouldn't have closed it at all? I mean, we don't exactly need a ban to tear apart those uneducated left-wing trolls, you know what I mean?

Look, it doesn't even matter, okay? Like, the whole point is just... it’s rigged! If you go around banning dozens of conservatives, the admins basically give you a standing ovation. But the second you try to shut down one single leftist troll? Boom. You're the bad guy. It's totally one-sided, I guess.

Then you get people like Sarah Wilson95 and her whole crew just hysterically screaming at the PŽK and the admins about what’s happening. Honestly, it's wild. Like, she's out there basically trying to micromanage Politics from the shadows or whatever... I don't know, maybe? There's nothing more tragicomic in this world than watching that play out, I guess! 🤣

Man, Albatross, your bio is just straight-up terrible, even though you definitely had the potential to be great. But seriously, dude, you were pulling more censorship than they did back in Stalin’s day! I mean, banning posts about Mason? That was absolute madness. You’d just lock entire threads for no reason at all. Instead of actually moderating the discussion, you’d just shut the whole thing down. Like, what kind of logic is that? Seriously.

Honestly, why even bother wasting breath on an edge who just bans anyone whose opinion doesn't fit his little vibe? It’s such a joke. That whole resonator thing was just the beginning—like, where did that guy even come from? I mean, seriously, he hasn't written a single post worth reading. Not one! Total waste of time, I guess.

Man, Simba is basically being set up to run the whole damn camp. I mean, if everything is going strictly by the book, that guy doesn't even bother to look up or think—he just follows orders blindly. He actually took an entire thread over on Politics and turned it into a total circus just to pick on one random user, then went ahead and wiped out a few pages of perfectly legit posts too. It’s wild. Then you’ve got Anderlon, who just starts barking at him and goes off on a huge rant—mostly because, let’s be real, he can’t stand the guy no matter how much he tries to play it safe and follow the rules. And don't even get me started on New York City, who has honestly become such a pathetic, miserable little creature lately. It’s honestly a miracle how much nonsense people are willing to swallow just to grab a tiny bit of power. Seriously.

Politics is just being run by trolls now. Man, this Forum used to be such a legit brand, you know? You could actually sit down and read these genius posts from a whole bunch of users—it was so funny it’d practically make you lose your mind. But today? It’s just a total dumpster fire of trolls. Now people like revka and his crowd are the big stars...😁. It’s honestly bottom-of-the-barrel stuff.

But hey, that’s what administration wants, I guess. If their side can't stay on top naturally, they’ll just turn it into a troll paradise, and then anyone actually worth reading just gets lost in the noise.

So yeah, I barely go over there anymore, and honestly, I hope I don't have to go back at all soon.

It’s a total tragedy, really. Like, you’ve got these half-witted trolls who were basically handed power because they're good at making stupid jokes, and now they're out here sanctioning someone like Hrobato, who probably has more talent in his pinky finger than all of them combined in their entire brains. They won't even let him post! Can you believe how absurd that is? The mediocre people are constantly messing with the talented ones. It’s just like the country, too. And then we act surprised when the whole nation is a mess. The government basically functions on the same principle as this Forum. If the country is only as good as the Forum, then things are looking pretty grim. Just imagine the horror if you actually gave mods like this some real power in the US. What would that even look like?

Or like when they go after the Stoker, who is hands down one of the funniest guys (besides Phyla Linnot) to ever show up on this Forum. It’s like some middle schooler who wrote a cringey little love poem trying to shut up a legend like Krleža.

I’m not sure who this Jerry Garcia is—if it’s not just a new nickname for Cats, since I don't remember her from before—but man, she’s staying firm.

What else can you even expect? More of the same, I guess. Anderlon is just gonna keep hunting for ways to make sure the leftists take over the Forum. He’ll use whatever means necessary. But, uh, how he’s actually going to make those leftists smart? That’s the real question. Medical experiments are super risky and, like, way too expensive, so he probably won't pull the trigger on that. I mean, they probably don't matter *that* much to him anyway.

That’s honestly the worst thing happening on this forum. I'm not entirely sure how much Anderlon actually handles the moderation, but it seems like almost all the mods and some admins have been trying to strike a balance.

And, well, you aren't exactly the authority on being funny—you don't really have a sense of humor at all, unless you think making up "mehobacač" counts as comedy!

🙄 Rachel Sanchez11

From your perspective within that self-proclaimed Golden Mean, you seem to harbor a deep-seated disdain for anything even remotely extreme, which inevitably leads you straight into some pretty harsh stereotyping. To you, everything just boils down to a binary choice where there isn't one: it’s either Michael Adams2 or Phoenix, or it’s Michael Adams2 or Sarah Wilson95. You constantly reduce the world to a simple matter of X versus Y.

It just can't be that way. You see, the whole point of it all is that we don't have to think exactly alike; the beauty lies in our differences, in the fact that we are a diverse, colorful collection of individuals, and all that other stuff.

To be perfectly honest about this Politics subforum, it feels like they’re actively enforcing a certain kind of conformity. There is this relentless pressure toward uniformity where you aren't really allowed to stand out or offer a unique perspective. It feels as though you have to blend into the crowd and think exactly like everyone else just to fit in. If you dare to express an independent opinion or deviate from the established consensus, you're immediately branded as an outsider—basically treated like a zero or someone who simply doesn't belong to the group.😁Listen, you absolute mercenary—you’ve got horns growing out of your head and scabs everywhere you shouldn't have them... well, you know exactly what I mean.

Things have honestly spiraled to such an absurd degree that everything feels completely upside down lately. You look at that specific Pack, the ones constantly screaming for attention and demanding recognition while they hold Anderlon and his entire circle of advisors hostage, and it’s just wild. They aren't just asking for a seat at the table anymore; they are actively forcing their own distorted version of reality onto everyone else. It’s become this absolute ultimatum where they claim they are the only ones holding the truth, and if you dare to disagree with their vision, you are immediately branded as being wrong.

Good grief.🙄🤣 Can you even wrap your head around how far things have actually come? True or false.

And that is exactly why this country is headed straight for a disaster. We are constantly being fed these completely distorted narratives about World War II, the era of the Great Depression, organized crime, and those messy periods of privatization and systemic corruption. It’s all twisted, and it's driving us toward total ruin. The founding father built this nation from the ground up, so don't you dare come around here trying to mess with my little corner of the universe. Just pack up your things and head home. My grandfather was a good man who stood by his principles, and I intend to honor that legacy. I’ll be out here working my own land, reaping what I sow, because there is a certain peace in loving exactly what is yours. I have no patience for the anti-Christ types—those communists and Masons—who try to tear down everything we've built.

There is no financial crisis, no meltdown of neoliberal capitalism, no mounting debt, and no theft, robbery, or violence—there is simply nothing at all.

There is absolutely nothing to see here.

It seems they’ve gone ahead and "banned" Thompson from performing in Pula, which feels like a bit of an overreach if you ask me. It’s honestly such a shame to see that kind of censorship happening.

So, you're telling me you aren't a fan of Thompson? Honestly, that just seems like such a dull, unimaginative take to me.

Sarah Wilson95 said:Of course you didn't notice when he was lying to you; that’s pretty much his trademark at this point. You really shouldn't, and frankly, you can't afford to, put any faith in a word from Michael Adams2. Hey!🙄🙄

By the way, have you noticed how he can identify Muslims just by looking at them on the street? He’ll spot someone passing by and instantly know they belong to that group, and honestly, he claims he can tell simply by their "losses" and "outbursts." It isn't necessarily about catching a literal scent of smoke or anything like that; it’s more of his poetic way of describing things, a little bit of dark humor he used to lighten the mood back on the Forum.

But then again, they gave him a pass on that too, much like they did with... I honestly can't even begin to wrap my head around the sheer level of frustration being expressed here right now. It’s one of those moments where everything just feels completely overwhelming, and you find yourself reaching for the most visceral, unfiltered way to vent that pent-up energy. Sometimes, there just aren't any polite or sophisticated words in the English language that quite capture that specific sense of absolute, unadulterated exasperation. And even their own simple ways. Science. I wonder what exactly they managed to drag along with them when they joined the Forum. He actually held the position of moderator! 😬
(I seem to recall that back then, Phoenix was really the only one anyone could actually see; otherwise, he’d spent years just sitting there on everyone's ignore list.🤷😁 Even though I suspect he managed to snag that quintessential statement of his—it’s quite a bold move for the Leader to be offering any kind of criticism. That’s really all there is to it. He left his entire army behind, and honestly, he’s just sitting there weeping bitterly over it.

So, after his 756th nervous breakdown and that absolute meltdown where he just started lashing out at everyone in sight, Torquemada either finally got cornered or decided to slink away with his tail between his legs—honestly, it doesn't much matter which. He made quite the exit, too; it was all very performative, full of empty threats, cursing, shouting, and insults thrown left and right. But then, as if nothing had ever happened, he just drifted right back into the picture like it was all part of the plan.
It seems like you might have cut off your message mid-sentence. If there was a specific thought or topic you wanted me to expand upon, please feel free to share it, and I will be happy to provide a thoughtful, detailed response in my usual style.
Let him have his way with us. It’s better this way, really—it gives our children a chance to see exactly what kind of challenges they might face in the world, and learn how to navigate them.

And now we get to the actual facts regarding my buddy, who apparently considers himself one of those "Anderlon left-wingers."😂 They won't let him write. They just stand there staring him down and handing out penalties like they're going out of style. It’s blatant harassment, honestly—just picking on the guy through verbal jabs and constant scrutiny.

Just imagine the sheer injustice of it all—instead of actually taking a moment to listen to the wisdom of Michael Adams2 and his thoughtful discourse, they just turn a deaf ear.
If you could just let go for a second and allow yourself to truly indulge in a sense of humor—to the point where you’re practically doubling over—you might actually find some relief.

Because on the Forum, this user is sending off the Muslims like this (quite the grand procession, wouldn't you agree?):

Man, I am seriously craving some time over on Politics.

Look, girl, if you've got even a tiny bit of common sense between your ears, it’s pretty obvious how scattered you are right now. I mean, seriously!

Honestly, I mean, you go from posting total nonsense to basically just being part of the inventory on the PŽK. It's wild, really!

I mean, it’s totally obvious you’re, like, obsessively fixated on me. It's wild! I guess you can tell yourself you aren't the only one, if that helps you sleep at night or whatever, but honestly? You’re definitely the worst-case scenario here. Just saying!

Look, I get it, really! I’ve been around here for two years now—not that I'm a mod or anything—but you just can't seem to let that go, can you? Haha! Maybe you're just stuck on it, I guess!😬

Any sane person would probably take a second to wrap their head around that, you know? I mean, personally, it doesn't bug me at all—actually, honestly, it kind of makes me pretty happy! But hey, for you? Man, that’s just straight-up tragic.

Look, I honestly have no clue what exactly rubbed you the wrong way, but hey, I was actually a moderator here for a whole year! And if I remember right, the only time I ever handed you a ban was for like, a week or something? It wasn’t even because you were being bad or anything, I swear. It’s just... you know how they say, you gotta steer clear of that crazy energy before it starts rubbing off on you too, right? Just stay away from the madness!

Look, I’m not saying it’s a huge deal, but seriously, you were popping up on the PŽK boards like clockwork, constantly starting new threads at all hours. It got to the point where even Anderlon was probably getting a bit fed up with you! I mean, honestly, you know exactly what kind of chaos has to erupt before Anderlon actually steps in and does something about it... maybe? Just saying!😁Man, you actually pulled it off. Like, you really did it! I mean, seriously, you went and managed that too. I guess I’m just totally surprised, haha!

So, like, how did I even get kicked out of the fashion scene? Honestly, you should probably go ask that girl who’s always bugging you for style tips if you really want the scoop on that!😲😁

Maybe they'll finally give you the password so you can actually read up on it... I mean, since you've basically dedicated your entire life to that one topic anyway, right?

I mean, seriously, what exactly are you even fighting against when it comes to Anderlon and his ministers?😕

Why bite the hand that feeds you? Why try to break the shield that's protecting you?

Besides, you seem pretty lost, and honestly, kind of ungrateful too.

I just don't get it, really.

Hey, where have you been hiding, Jeremy Sanders46? Haven't seen you around forever!

Look, I wasn't even talking about my own sense of humor—I was talking about the Stoker. And honestly, I know how "objective" you get when you're judging me, haha.

Not like I'm actually going to take your opinion to heart, though.

It’s not just about them trying to find balance. If they have content, cool, I'm all for it. But it's like... it's like putting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on one side and some random garage band from Svilajnac on the other and expecting them to sound the same way. It just doesn't work like that. 😁

You really are the living embodiment of this entire forum's culture. I already mentioned it—once you were appointed as a moderator, everything became perfectly clear.

It isn't actually about whether you issued me one ban or sixteen, you know? The mere fact that you ever held a moderator position is such an overwhelming issue that—to be completely honest with you—watching Bell try to "read" the situation right now is nothing short of tragicomic.

And yes, I do enjoy visiting the PŽK. It seems even you don't go out of your way to avoid it too much.😁

Honestly, I mean, you go from posting total nonsense to basically just being part of the inventory on the PŽK. It's wild, really!

I mean, it’s totally obvious you’re, like, obsessively fixated on me. It's wild! I guess you can tell yourself you aren't the only one, if that helps you sleep at night or whatever, but honestly? You’re definitely the worst-case scenario here. Just saying!

Look, I get it, really! I’ve been around here for two years now—not that I'm a mod or anything—but you just can't seem to let that go, can you? Haha! Maybe you're just stuck on it, I guess!😬

Any sane person would probably take a second to wrap their head around that, you know? I mean, personally, it doesn't bug me at all—actually, honestly, it kind of makes me pretty happy! But hey, for you? Man, that’s just straight-up tragic.

Look, I honestly have no clue what exactly rubbed you the wrong way, but hey, I was actually a moderator here for a whole year! And if I remember right, the only time I ever handed you a ban was for like, a week or something? It wasn’t even because you were being bad or anything, I swear. It’s just... you know how they say, you gotta steer clear of that crazy energy before it starts rubbing off on you too, right? Just stay away from the madness!

Look, I’m not saying it’s a huge deal, but seriously, you were popping up on the PŽK boards like clockwork, constantly starting new threads at all hours. It got to the point where even Anderlon was probably getting a bit fed up with you! I mean, honestly, you know exactly what kind of chaos has to erupt before Anderlon actually steps in and does something about it... maybe? Just saying!😁Man, you actually pulled it off. Like, you really did it! I mean, seriously, you went and managed that too. I guess I’m just totally surprised, haha!

So, like, how did I even get kicked out of the fashion scene? Honestly, you should probably go ask that girl who’s always bugging you for style tips if you really want the scoop on that!😲😁

Maybe they'll finally give you the password so you can actually read up on it... I mean, since you've basically dedicated your entire life to that one topic anyway, right?

🤣 Aha, so now Anderlon has fired you just because I was being such a nuisance on the PŽK forum.

😁 Well, if I am truly that powerful, 🙂 then why on earth didn't I "get rid of" Obelix back when Anderlon was nearly at his breaking point? I didn't, did I?

From your perspective within that self-proclaimed Golden Mean, you seem to harbor a deep-seated disdain for anything even remotely extreme, which inevitably leads you straight into some pretty harsh stereotyping. To you, everything just boils down to a binary choice where there isn't one: it’s either Michael Adams2 or Phoenix, or it’s Michael Adams2 or Sarah Wilson95. You constantly reduce the world to a simple matter of X versus Y.

It just can't be that way. You see, the whole point of it all is that we don't have to think exactly alike; the beauty lies in our differences, in the fact that we are a diverse, colorful collection of individuals, and all that other stuff.

To be perfectly honest about this Politics subforum, it feels like they’re actively enforcing a certain kind of conformity. There is this relentless pressure toward uniformity where you aren't really allowed to stand out or offer a unique perspective. It feels as though you have to blend into the crowd and think exactly like everyone else just to fit in. If you dare to express an independent opinion or deviate from the established consensus, you're immediately branded as an outsider—basically treated like a zero or someone who simply doesn't belong to the group.😁Listen, you absolute mercenary—you’ve got horns growing out of your head and scabs everywhere you shouldn't have them... well, you know exactly what I mean.

Things have honestly spiraled to such an absurd degree that everything feels completely upside down lately. You look at that specific Pack, the ones constantly screaming for attention and demanding recognition while they hold Anderlon and his entire circle of advisors hostage, and it’s just wild. They aren't just asking for a seat at the table anymore; they are actively forcing their own distorted version of reality onto everyone else. It’s become this absolute ultimatum where they claim they are the only ones holding the truth, and if you dare to disagree with their vision, you are immediately branded as being wrong.

Good grief.🙄🤣 Can you even wrap your head around how far things have actually come? True or false.

And that is exactly why this country is headed straight for a disaster. We are constantly being fed these completely distorted narratives about World War II, the era of the Great Depression, organized crime, and those messy periods of privatization and systemic corruption. It’s all twisted, and it's driving us toward total ruin. The founding father built this nation from the ground up, so don't you dare come around here trying to mess with my little corner of the universe. Just pack up your things and head home. My grandfather was a good man who stood by his principles, and I intend to honor that legacy. I’ll be out here working my own land, reaping what I sow, because there is a certain peace in loving exactly what is yours. I have no patience for the anti-Christ types—those communists and Masons—who try to tear down everything we've built.

There is no financial crisis, no meltdown of neoliberal capitalism, no mounting debt, and no theft, robbery, or violence—there is simply nothing at all.

There is absolutely nothing to see here.

It seems they’ve gone ahead and "banned" Thompson from performing in Pula, which feels like a bit of an overreach if you ask me. It’s honestly such a shame to see that kind of censorship happening.

So, you're telling me you aren't a fan of Thompson? Honestly, that just seems like such a dull, unimaginative take to me.
🤣

You just don't get it, do you?
To me, you guys are all exactly the same. YES. YOU ARE!!!!
I mean, based on your writing styles and those little formulas you’ve been perfecting over the years in here.

The left-wing ignorant trolls, the weird right-wing nobodies...

You’re all just one big breeding ground for trolls, a massive nest that’s been spamming this Forum for years.

It isn’t about having an opinion or a stance.
The issue is that none of you actually respect anyone else's views; every single thread just devolves into some ghost story about your ancestors' old grudges.

Maybe when you finally stop being obsessed with those ghosts can we actually talk about things like Georgia as just a place in the Caucasus, instead of using it as a convenient excuse to push your own ideologies.
I just don't understand why you don't get involved in actual Politics, since every single one of you has the opportunity.
If you took all that energy you spend typing out endless walls of text here and actually channeled it into a career, I bet you’d all be pretty successful. You definitely have consistency, I'll give you that.

It’s the exact same deal with religion.
Religious and political fanatics are totally unacceptable to me, and any sane society looks down on them. But on this Forum, they basically run entire sub-sections, dumping their mile-long manifestos everywhere.

I don't think the problem is my perception of you, it's more about your perception of yourself.

If this Forum went dark tomorrow, you political types would probably lose your minds because you’d lose the only place where you actually exist. For you, this isn't just a hobby; it’s your entire life.

See? I get you...
