Alright, that's enough.

Alright I’m calling out the mods, Karen Jones68 and Zodiac, to explain themselves to the whole community regarding these cards they handed out—and trust me, I’m not the only one dealing with this.

Their "leadership" is totally out of line—they basically nuked the thread that used to be the most popular spot on the site before Karen Jones68 showed up, which everyone who hangs out in the Jokes subforum has been complaining about. Cards are being handed out for no reason at all. Personally, I got flagged even though my posts followed every single rule on the site and the Jokes board perfectly.

Then yesterday, I caught a warning labeled as "trolling" because of what I said here:

I’ve got a better idea:
1. The mod needs to apologize to everyone for how they mishandled the old thread.
2. Reopen that thread—it doesn't even need a "top thread" tag since it was always at the top anyway.
3. Just politely ask people to stop posting GIFs.

...and then things will go back to normal, no drama and no bad blood.

So, I'm asking the other mods—the ones who actually have some sense—to take a look at the Jokes section, see the mess going on, and get these inexperienced, clueless mods in line.
I've been on this site forever and I've seen mods handle stuff plenty of ways, but usually, they actually step in when things go wrong. Karen Jones68 hasn't done any of that.
She just barged into the subforum moderation and shut down the most active thread without a single warning or heads-up...
That thread—which I started way before this "mod" even knew this site existed—was blown up by a user named Smgslnk, making it the biggest hit on the forum. He actually left the site specifically because of this mess.
It's honestly pathetic that this is allowed, and just as pathetic how some mods just defend their buddies just to cover for each other. There's zero objectivity here.

Raymond Palmer8 said:Their "quasi-moderation" has officially gone off the rails! They completely nuked the one thread that was actually pulling numbers—you know, the one everyone used to flock to before Karen Jones68 showed up? It’s the same thing people were always complaining about whenever they swung by the jokes sub. Now, people are just dropping random memes for no reason at all. It's total chaos!

A locked thread isn't a dead thread! It’s still alive and kicking!

Raymond Palmer8 said:So, I got flagged yesterday too! Apparently, my comments were labeled as "trolling," which is just wild. Here’s exactly what I said that set them off:

You think it’s just because of the trolls?

Raymond Palmer8 said:He just walked out on Reddit right because of this exact mess! Such a shame.

Not true!

Raymond Palmer8 said:It’s honestly such a shame that this kind of thing is allowed to slide! And don't even get me started on certain moderators—it's a total joke when they jump to defend their buddies just because they're looking out for one another. It’s all about protecting their own, you know? There is absolutely zero objectivity happening here. Zero!

It’s honestly kind of wild! After being part of this community for so many years, you’re still venting in the wrong section? I mean, wow! But hey, look on the bright side—I don't see anyone trying to kick you off the board for it. No one's coming for you! Keep it up!

Raymond Palmer8 said:Look, I'm calling it now—I want the mods, countess and zodiaca, to explain themselves right here in front of everyone. They handed out these warnings/bans to me, and honestly, looking at the thread, I’m clearly not the only one they're targeting.

Oh, no you don't. You don't get to demand anything.

We've said it a hundred times already: if you've got beef with how things are being moderated, take it to the private messages. But people just won't listen. It's fine. Honestly, at this point, the mods and admins don't even owe you an explanation. Not my circus, not my monkeys.
