Deckard's rant about Prometheus 2

Starting a new thread since the last one got shut down.

This guy clearly has a vendetta against me, and I honestly have no idea how to make this harassment stop.

So, constant haters in my face—is that the issue?

And how many followers does he actually have? 5? Definitely not.

He could have just sent me a DM, but no, he has to act like some big shot for everyone to see.

What are the next steps if nothing gets resolved here?
Is there any way to hold a moderator accountable? Is that even possible?
I'm tired of this kind of behavior and people just covering for each other.

Look, aside from the fact that your deleted post could easily be seen as straight-up trolling, the moderator making the call to wipe it was totally justified. What really gets under my skin, though, is how you constantly jump in to lecture the mods every single time they take action on one of your posts.

The discussion threads aren't the place to go poking around and asking why a post got nuked, why you got a warning, or whatever else. You've got private messages for that—that's your right, you can reach out to a mod and ask for an explanation on why you caught a strike or why a post vanished. You can even hit me up since I'm a supermod here, and besides, you've always got the FBI to deal with.

And honestly? Coming into threads just to drop stuff like "hey haters, suck it" or whatever other nonsense? That’s a hard no.

Discussion threads aren't the place to go questioning why a post was removed or why you got a warning. You have private messages for that. That's where you can ask a moderator for an explanation. You can also reach out to me as a supermod for this movie site, or contact the FBI here.

But popping into threads just to say "haters gonna hate" isn't allowed.

Funny how everyone keeps clinging to an American version that I never even mentioned.

It was an English phrase, if I recall correctly. It’s basically just a catchphrase and doesn't carry the connotation you guys are trying to force on it.

People say I'm being too much by starting threads and complaining (I didn't hit the banned or warned thread because there were no bans or warnings), but this is the only way to leave a record of what happened. Otherwise, everything gets wiped and it's like nothing ever occurred, and nothing changes. It's annoying when threads just get closed without any resolution. Then I have to start a whole new thread for something that was shut down for no reason, even though we could have just kept the conversation going. Obviously.

The issue is again that harmless stuff gets deleted while much worse things stay up, simply because I know this moderator has it out for me and jumps at my every word. It's getting pretty terrible. People are even messaging me privately to complain or show support, telling me to delete posts immediately because they think you monitor PMs too (didn't realize that was possible). People are living in fear. That shouldn't happen in a place meant to promote free speech—like a forum.

If I remember right, it was an English phrase—more like a little catchphrase you say, you know? It doesn't carry that heavy baggage people are trying to force onto it.

'In your faces, haters!' — it basically means the same thing.
You can't just barge into a thread like that. The post was rightfully deleted.

I guess I come off as annoying because I’m always starting threads or filing complaints (though I didn't bother with the banned or warned threads since nobody was actually getting banned or warned then), but honestly, this is the only way to leave a paper trail for these incidents. Otherwise, everything just gets wiped away like nothing ever happened, and nothing changes. It really bugs me when threads just get shut down without anything being fixed. Then I have to start a whole new thread because the old one was closed for no reason, even though we could've just kept the conversation going. It seems obvious.

Look, I never said you were being annoying. If you feel like your posts are being nuked for no reason or you got a warning without any explanation, you can ask why. Send a DM or post it here. But not directly inside the threads themselves. From now on, doing that will always result in the post being deleted and you getting a warning. You aren't allowed to call out the mods within the actual discussion threads.

The issue is again that something totally harmless gets deleted, while much worse stuff stays up, simply because I know this moderator has it out for me and jumps at every single word I say. It’s getting ridiculous. Even people are sliding into my DMs to complain or offer support, telling me I need to delete my posts immediately because apparently the mods can see those too (I had no idea that was possible), and it feels like people are living in fear. That shouldn't happen in a place that's supposed to promote free speech—like an online forum.

As for all this talk about which moderator has a grudge against whom, I'm not going there, because it's pointless. If you want to make claims like that, you need to back them up with links.

Regarding this specific situation and the appeal, it's pretty straightforward to me.
You posted something provocative using what you call a 'catchphrase,' the mod stepped in and legitimately removed it. You tried to argue about it right there in the thread, and that's just not how this works.
I don't see any insults coming from the moderator. And that 'how old are you, five?' comment... I mean, you jump into a topic shouting 'In your faces, haters!' and then expect some kind of constructive dialogue after a troll post? Yeah, that's not happening.

As far as I'm concerned, this is explained and settled.
