Are you actually a clone of Rambo?

No, I really am not!🙂

It’s honestly pretty pathetic to see a moderator making comments like that. Especially when they have all the tools at their disposal, like checking IP addresses and everything else...

If you feel like you owe someone an apology, that’s strictly on you. The issue here is simply that you aren't doing even a shred of actual moderation. If you had put in any effort, you would've realized ages ago that I have nothing against anyone...

Oh, it's easy enough if the "guys were just confused."
But when a moderator is the one getting confused? Well, now we have a real problem...

If there isn't any PL available, does anyone else have an alternative?
Just please don't suggest the resonator... that has absolutely nothing to do with the PDF world of themes, nor does anyone actually know what's written in there.

An example comment.
"Did they really rip you off like that?"

The follow-up.

Honestly, this whole forum is just embarrassing...

Check out this absolute gem about getting screwed and wiped out.

Is there even a pilot in the cockpit? 🙄

Did you already try reporting those posts using the little triangle icon? I’ll make sure to flag it for the moderators, but honestly, please just hang tight here until at least 24 hours have passed since your report if there hasn't been any movement.

Wait, which moderators? Who’s even running things here? 🙄

Bringing up the report button right now is just a joke, Nick. Either find a mod who actually reads the threads, or just lock this topic until our lead admin gets back.
Locking it might help everyone cool off. Plus, it stops all these random, pointless comments... like...

Jay said:Rambo just parrots whatever her handlers tell her... she's trying to sow doubt and confusion in an otherwise clear story about Syria... and honestly, anyone getting worked up over her nonsense is just being ridiculous... she knows exactly what's going down, she's far from stupid... why is she doing this? For the Zionist cause... ensuring Israel survives in an Arab sea by using that old "divide and conquer" tactic... American forums are full of people like this... likely working for various agencies that ultimately answer to the CIA... 99% of such people are Jewish

How many times do I have to say I have absolutely nothing to do with the "Rambo" profile?
As for the comments about being "stupid," the CIA, or the 99% thing—I won't even dignify those with a response.

I've already reported it using the famous little icon. But it just gets benevolently deleted (just ask Nick). So tomorrow, it’ll be back again.
Anyway, there is no way I'm responding to that kind of talk.

Moving on.

If my memory serves, someone who made a comment about "gradually" directed at Nick during an event got a penalty within half an hour.

The above are just selected comments.
Either moderate properly or just lock the thread. Your criteria are really starting to 🙂...

Honestly, this is starting to really grate on my nerves, even though I only follow these discussions on a surface level. Just a few threads up, people have been passionately debating for days about what actually constitutes trolling, whether certain moderators are too quick to pull the trigger, and if things are being handled fairly or not. Up until recently, one user, Sam Alvarez4, was persistently addressing everyone as "amen" in every single post. Just non-stop, "amen, amen"—that’s clearly trolling, and I guess it's pretty obvious to everyone what's going on there, yet there isn't a single report filed about it. And this whole "Rambo clone" thing? That's definitely trolling too. Maybe those folks arguing above could swing by here and see how that actually looks in practice. It would be great if someone could just resolve this once and for all; it's honestly kind of unpleasant to read! 👎

Edit: I just checked the thread about Syria, and that same user, Sam Alvarez4, is now calling people "Bambi" non-stop.

There’s just no helping them; some people are simply built differently...

Take that "progressive" example above—it's just the same comment posted twice, only to be deleted both times. Just like those nonsense usernames.

And whatever, nobody really cares about the world of themes anyway.
The main thing is that, in the meantime, dozens of pages are filled with trolling, chat spam, and quoting PMs... all regarding the rules on the forum.

How many clones can one permanently banned user run on a single thread?

I've counted at least six so far (the last time a Scot actually called out the clones)

Why isn't the current moderator doing anything? Is he clueless or just ignoring it?

People here are getting mocked for saying they don't have time for an "unban," claiming they need time to discuss it instead.
We all know how to handle clones who keep insulting people on the same thread. But there's zero response. Even though, according to the rules, no discussion is even necessary.

This has gone way too far...

One last thing, who is the supermod over on the Iran and Syria thread?

Sam Alvarez4 said:How many clones can someone run on the same thread while they're sitting under a permanent ban?
I can't even deal with this right now. Seriously, I’m sitting here looking at this absolute mess of a thread and my blood is just boiling. The sheer level of stupidity being peddled here is actually impressive. It's like everyone collectively decided to leave their brains at home today. You see people making these wild, uneducated claims and acting like they're some kind of expert on global politics or whatever, and it's just exhausting. I remember trying to explain this exact same thing to my buddy back in Chicago last summer, and even he—who isn't exactly a genius—could see how flawed the logic was. But no, apparently, we're all just wrong and these random internet trolls are the keepers of truth. It’s the same old story. People love to shout because they don't have anything actual useful to say. Just noise. Pure, unadulterated noise. Honestly, I'm about two seconds away from just closing the tab and going for a walk before I lose it.

I've lost count, but I'd say there's at least six of them now. Last time I saw one, a Scot was actually calling out those clones.

Why isn't the current mod doing anything? Is he clueless or just totally oblivious to what's happening?
People love to lecture me about how I don't have enough time to deal with "trolls," yet they somehow always find the energy to go after clones who just spam the same garbage over and over again. They see it happening, and they just sit there and do nothing.

This has officially gone way too far.

Anyway, who's running the show on the Iran and Syria thread?

Powerlock.

The PL hasn't been around for a while now.
That’s exactly why the state of the discussions in the world of themes I mentioned is such a disaster...
Which is why I'm turning to the rest of the admin team.

Everyone has their favorites when it comes to commenters.
But there has to be a limit... some things just go too far.

@admin/">@@admin,

Since you're already stopping by to clear out the spam, maybe you could also deal with that one troll on the Iran thread? The absolute king of clones...
Or are we just going to keep playing pretend?

It’s exactly like what happened on the Russia thread.
That same master troll is still over there rambling about certain groups of people.
And even here.
What does any of this have to do with the Russia thread?

It just keeps going. His famous "list of nations" that he claims we—some supposed Zionists—hate. It's the same thing in every single comment. And absolutely nothing happens.

Meanwhile, if anyone else speaks up, boom—instant ban for trolling.

The PDF World section has a few threads getting just as much traffic as the main headlines, but you guys just ignore every single critique.
Why is that, I wonder?...
