Access denied to PDF? Teens?

I just got a DM from our "wonderful" moderator silentsailor5 telling me I'm banned from the PDF where I spend all my time—mostly just hanging out in the chat section anyway.

The reason they gave? Apparently, I've been "provoking" other members and the mod team. 😕

If any of those offended moderators want to step up and explain themselves, go ahead. And if there are any members who actually feel provoked by me, please, reach out and let me know. 😕

The decision feels pretty subjective to me, honestly. It seems like the moderators just have a personal grudge against me. I really think if you're going to claim I’m being offensive or provocative, you should actually show some proof. Besides, you shouldn't speak for the rest of the Teens community. You moderators aren't the entire group; the Teens are the users, and I've been one of them for a while now 😉

If I hadn't mentioned it, you probably wouldn't have known; at least your mother can rest easy now.🙂

James Chavez23, please understand that nobody harbors any ill will toward you, and certainly not me, given that my only interaction with you has been the routine removal of your posts. I have already detailed my reasons in a private message. For now, I would simply like to be left alone to catch up on the news.☕

The federal budget rebalance🎉

Laura Evans3 said:The news just broke: the Prime Minister has officially resigned. It’s a massive shakeup for the administration, and honestly, it feels like the end of an era for our current leadership. I remember sitting in a coffee shop in downtown Chicago last year, listening to people debate whether this kind of political shift was even possible—well, here we are. It’s a lot to process, but I'm curious to see how the transition unfolds from here. 🙂

Hey Martina Frendica, please stop spamming my thread. 😉

James Chavez23, look, it’s obvious nobody has a grudge against you—and I certainly don't, considering I was the one regularly cleaning up your posts. I already laid out my reasoning in a private message. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm trying to catch the news. ☕

Budget Rebalancing 🎉

Look, you’re being completely unserious here. Either start acting like an adult and engaging properly, or just stay away from this thread entirely. That ban was honestly a joke. Now, why don't you actually give me some concrete examples of where I supposedly went wrong? He was being insulting. I'm sorry, I think you might have hit send too early! I didn't see a message there. What was on your mind? He was looking for trouble. I’d love to hear from some of the other members here. If you've got a moment, please jump in and share your thoughts on this thread. I think we could really use a few more perspectives to get the conversation moving. 😉

I am being completely serious. The Ban was decided upon by the entire moderation team for the Teens PDF. I truly don't have the bandwidth at this moment to compile all the specific posts where you engaged in that behavior, but I will get them to you tomorrow.

Oh, you "don't have time"? What on earth are you doing that takes up so much of your life? Just chatting away with FPS? You're over 40 years old and acting as a moderator for Teens, yet you spend your days messaging minors and your daughter's friend. Honestly, what kind of person does that? If you can't find the time, fine—let Matesonik dig through the archives since he helped push this big decision through. Let him do some of the heavy lifting. 😉

Does it bother you?

James Chavez23 said:You claim you don't have the time? What exactly are you doing that’s taking up all your time? Spending your hours messaging some random FPS player? You're over 40 years old and acting as a moderator for the Teens, yet here you are, chatting away with minors and your daughter's friend. Honestly, it's suspicious. If you can't find the time to step up, then let someone else handle it. Maybe his colleague Matesonik should take the lead on this massive decision since he was the one who suggested it in the first place. He can contribute for once. 😉

So, now you’re going to tell me to stop being provocative? 😉

If you're told to just sit tight and wait, then do exactly that. Just be patient. Eventually, everything will be handed to you on a silver platter. ☕

Look, there are plenty of other subforums available here. If you aren't interested in what's being discussed in this one, feel free to head elsewhere.

This decision is 👎

Now you're going to claim I'm being provocative? 😉

If someone tells you to back off, then just back off... everything will be handed to you on a silver platter eventually. ☕

There are plenty of other subforums out there. If this one isn't your thing, feel free to head elsewhere...

Hold on, why the attitude? And more importantly, why are you even talking to me?
I started this thread because of the moderators and the active PDF Teens community—which you aren't part of. You only joined two days ago, so I’d suggest sitting this one out until you actually know how things work here. 😉

And no, stating facts isn't "provocation." 😉

James Chavez23 said:Why are you even talking to me?

Because I was asked to reach out (with all due respect, of course :brandy-cola: ) ...

James Chavez23 said:Since you don't know anything about this 😉

That’s just your opinion.😁

he blocked him on PDF 🤣

you guys aren't being fair 😉😉😉
just take it down, I guess most people over there would agree with me 😉😉😉

The moderator's call stands. Appeal denied.
