Look, generally speaking, I don't usually complain about moderation or getting warnings. I don't really think my venting is going to change much, so I usually just let it go.
But now, curiosity is actually getting the better of me...
What I’m trying to wrap my head around is why the thread about Bill Clinton was basically scrubbed by the mods for absolutely no reason. Open discussion is allowed here, which obviously gives those leftist trolls enough room to start up with their usual clichés—the kind that lead conservatives to label them as enemies or even call for violence. But then, once you give them a polite, civilized response, that's when the bans and deletions start flying.
To be specific, in a debate like that—which was totally within the rules and had reached eight pages—I ended up getting a warning for a completely normal post (and there are millions of people trolling like that every single day). I'm not even complaining about that, though; honestly, whatever, hand out the warnings if you want, I still love you guys.😍
Then comes the deleting of posts. My well-reasoned response to Stagediver's post was deleted, yet his post is still sitting right there. If my reply to him wasn't good enough, it's apparently because it didn't stick strictly to the topic. But if my response was off-topic, then the very post I was quoting and replying to shouldn't be there either, yet it remains untouched.
In short, it's fascinating how threads about leftist icons get polished and cleaned up regardless of logic, while any "hateful conservative" gets hit with a nasty little surprise. Meanwhile, on threads about Ronald Reagan or Donald Rumsfeld, people can post absolute garbage that makes a sane person want to gag, and yet it's perfectly tolerated. It feels pointless. You don't need to do this.
I don't plan on going back to that thread because the inconsistent moderation has completely ruined the discussion. Now, the thread about the late Bill Clinton will shine brightly, just as befits such a legendary figure.
