Sarah Wilson95 said: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.😁

I avoid it by a wide margin because, honestly, it's a total joke. But you? You’re the designated mourner. You could probably make a living selling funeral services. It’s a real profession, you know.

I just pop in here and there to see how many times you'll mention my name, in every single post or every other one...😁.

You aren't even remotely relevant enough to judge what being a mod means for me.

For me, it’s enough that the people I actually respect stood behind me 100%.

One guy from OrangeC, someone I’ve fought with a million times and never agreed on anything—literally nothing—actually wrote that I was the best mod on Politics. He said it publicly. And he’s a guy who has the guts and strength to admit the truth to an "enemy." BTW, one of the biggest injustices was OrangeC getting a permanent ban. Truth is, lately he just started trolling, but what else could he do when he saw that was the only way to get through?

The fact is, Pallas and Obelix gave me their full support, so what do you think your opinion on my moderating means compared to theirs? It’s just one tiny grain in a mountain of crap.

You had absolutely no reason to be screaming and hanging around the PŽK while I was a mod, acting all hysterical, crazy, and manic—so much so that even Anderlon had to ask, "What the hell is going on?" And he didn't even like me, believe me.

Your mindset is such that you don't have a shred of humanity or objectivity; you just have a pre-set enemy because you hate what I write. You hate it, and it has nothing to do with whether I should have been a mod or not.

When someone looks at what kind of mod I was, they should look at whether I banned people just for disagreeing, or if I silenced people.

By the criteria set by the highly honorable admins here—as silly as that sounds—I was the perfect moderator. I wasn't biased, I didn't ban dissenters, I didn't just push my own side, and I didn't use attacks against me as excuses for bans. If I had, you wouldn't even be writing here anymore, nor would Phoenix, who joined you in those daily witch hunts only to be banned by Simba—not because of his political views or his writing, like you're lying, but because he was attacking him personally. He did the same thing to me, and even worse, and I didn't ban him. Nowadays, everyone uses that to settle scores with their critics, and the admins back them up. I didn't need that, nor would I have gotten support for it; I can "settle scores" with "enemies" in much better ways.

So, when you write, "once he became a mod, everything was clear," it's like a blind man saying he can see everything clearly on a Picasso painting.

Look, I haven't been a mod for two years. Go find some hobby in life. Go ring bells at funerals, go be a mannequin in a lady's boutique window, do something, for crying out loud. You're gonna rot away like this.

Sarah Wilson95 said:🤣 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?

Honestly, your brain just isn't wired to grasp a simple, long sentence. Sometimes I actually feel bad for you, I really do.

Wait, where on earth did you read in my posts that Anderlon went after me because of your stuff on the PŽK? Like, seriously, where?

I know, I know, you just want to believe that so your ego can get a little boost, I get it.

No, actually, it was the exact opposite—he was asking to go after *you*...😁

And hey, if you actually want to know how I left that whole fashion scene behind, maybe ask the admins for access so you can go read the logs yourself.

And man, don't even get me started on Obelix. Seriously, do yourself a favor and don't find out what he actually thought and said about you. 😁

Alright, thanks for the discussion. It really highlighted a few things. Let me summarize my thoughts here:

1) Every single debate regarding current Politics (including right here on PŽK) eventually devolves into a fight between the far-left and the far-right.
2) There’s just no way for the Forum administration to show good faith by letting users participate in decision-making without it turning into a joke. Our attempts just end up looking tragicomic. >
3) When users are actually given the chance to nominate someone for moderation, they suggest three names: one person with only 44 posts who nominates themselves, and another with 14 PAGES of bans for some of the most disgusting posts I've ever seen.
4) No matter what, the right will claim every moderator is a leftist, and the left will claim they're all right-wing.
5) Pallas was a great moderator. 🤣 🤣
6) Most moderate and reasonable users probably aren't even trying to contribute anymore... they already know exactly how these threads will end up.
