Complaints about T-Mobile

Hey everyone,

I decided to start a thread (), but as you can see from the attached screenshots, I ended up getting the whole thing locked. I tried being perfectly reasonable and polite when I reached out to the moderator to ask for an explanation, but all I got back was this via DM:

First off, I have no idea what they mean by "tourism," and frankly, I don't get why the thread was locked in the first place. There were just two idiots spamming the board; common sense dictates they should be the ones getting penalized.

Best, John Doe

If you open another thread like this, you’re the one getting a strike.☕

I'm curious to know if this kind of behavior from the site administration is actually allowed. It feels like a total injustice to shut down my topic and then follow it up with such a blunt, arrogant response—it honestly feels more like a threat than anything else.

Best,

Wait, who’s this?

You started a thread that has nothing to do with PDFs.
A few weeks ago, you opened another one that didn't fit under recreation either, complaining about the local transit authority, and everyone explained why it didn't belong.
Normally, you would've been banned by now, but since I'm a pretty chill moderator, I'll just give you a friendly heads-up for next time.

Modic hit the nail on the head here: you've posted several threads in the PDF section that don't belong, and she could have easily handed you a formal strike, but she chose to just lock the thread instead. Personally, I think her call was totally fair.

ivanx, please try to be more careful moving forward—take a moment to actually read the rules for the specific subforum you're posting in and try to follow the flow of conversation so we can avoid these kinds of misunderstandings down the road.
