Ban - AndrejX

I haven't spoken up about this before, but I’ve reached my limit.
I keep getting slapped with bans despite never once dropping a swear word, an insult, or anything remotely offensive. My political leanings are staunchly left-wing, liberal, and progressive, which makes it all the more bizarre why I’m being targeted for suspension so frequently.
Seven days, ten days, fourteen days, twenty-one days... it’s like they’re running a ban assembly line.

I don't actually expect this to change anything, nor am I making a formal grievance, but I have to say it: it’s fundamentally unfair. Now, look, moderators are human and can make mistakes just like anyone else in any profession, but if I end up with five or six bans in a six-month span, then clearly I’m some kind of unhinged lunatic while everyone else is an absolute saint.

Let’s not play dumb here.

You’re constantly pushing buttons and leaning hard into hate speech, mostly targeting people from Canada and Mexico, just to pick fights. It creates way too much work for us.

You finally crossed the line with that nasty outburst in the abortion thread. I was actually debating whether to just hit you with a partial ban or a permanent one, but I settled on a 500-point penalty for hate speech. That landed you a 7-day timeout.

Then, the second you got back, you jumped right back into the usual rhetoric. Based on the overall vibe, you earned another 100 points and a day off, but since your previous 500-point penalty hasn't even expired yet (it wraps up on June 6th), you’re now sitting at 600. That means a 14-day suspension.

If there's any mistake here, it's probably that we let your outbursts slide for way too long.

You are relentlessly provoking people and pushing hate speech, primarily targeting Canada and Mexico, while maintaining such an aggressive, combative attitude that you're creating an exhausting amount of work for us.

You finally crossed the line with that disgusting outburst on the abortion thread—where I was actually debating whether to go straight for a partial or permanent ban, though I ultimately settled on a 500-point penalty for hate speech. That landed you a 7-day suspension.

Then, immediately upon returning, you jumped right back into your usual rhetoric, earning a 100-point hit and a one-day timeout for the overall impression you left. But since your previous 500-point penalty hasn't expired yet (it clears on June 6th), you're now sitting at 600 points, which triggers a 14-day suspension.

The only real mistake here is that we've let your outbursts slide for far too long.

The only actual issue is that you're assigning me way too much work. Maybe I write a lot, and then others jump in, sparking these massive threads, which means more work for a moderator who has to read through everything and keep things under control.

If you don't want to do the job of a moderator, just say so, instead of banning the people "who create too much work for you." Honestly, the best solution would be for nobody to write anything at all so you wouldn't have any work to do.
It seems we have some moderators who are essentially just cronies.

Yeah, you definitely managed to skip over all the "unimportant" bits, didn't you?

If I actually missed something, then by all means, feel free to repost that specific comment of mine—the one that earned me a staggering 500 downvotes. Let the community decide for themselves whether there was enough substance there to warrant a deletion, let alone some heavy-handed punishment.
