This is regarding the "Israel" thread over on Global Politics.
User antilles dropped a textbook, pure example of hate speech right there. When a few of us tried to flag it, lijencina1 just smugly claimed it would only result in some "friendly criticism," insisting all the posts would eventually just be wiped clean anyway.
And what actually happened? Instead of being flagged for "hate speech," that user somehow walked away with 300 points for a "major rule violation." To top it off, every single post was deleted—including our own warnings. I don't even have a link to them anymore.
It’s worth remembering that I took 300 points myself a few months back. Why? Because I called out some individual who was openly advocating for genocide on this forum, labeling them a fascist. My response? Well, let me paraphrase: I was told that my reaction "wasn't polite," making the penalty perfectly justified. Meanwhile, that genocidal character ended up getting a permanent ban, but only because they chose to walk away—the moderator admitted he actually wanted to "post him" himself.
So, after this kind of absolute mess and blatant cover-up, you'd think some drastic changes to the moderation team would be expected. Of course, if nothing changes at all, we can all collectively conclude that moderating this forum is a complete farce. I truly hope that isn't the case.
