Moderator requirements!

Scanning through the "classified ads" section... noticed the moderator criteria here are a bit weird. Anyone else?🙄
I'm thinking about those classified ads for movies, games, software, and all that other restricted stuff. At least, that's how I read the rules. But is it actually true? Or am I just seeing things?☕
Some posts stay up, others get wiped. Some people get banned. Why the inconsistency?
I’ve heard from some friends on here that they got banned and had their posts wiped because of classified ads like this. What's the actual rule for staying up? Is it about the money, who you know, or something else entirely?
If none of those options work, I suggest you just pick one standard. Either wipe out every single post and thread containing that kind of content, or leave them all alone. Why the inconsistency?
So you're just as complicit in this piracy by handing out bans. Isn't that right?😉
I hope people actually respond to this one instead of just ignoring it like they have before. Otherwise, they're going to get the wrong idea about you.
Thanks.

Have you tried hitting that little button to report the post?
The moderators can't be everywhere at once—they aren't glued to their screens twenty-four hours a day, if you catch my drift.

Oh, of course we can—what else is there to do with our lives besides hang out here? We’re all so obsessed with this forum that we think we've basically "become gods" (or so I was told by someone who finally got banned for trolling after way too many warnings).☕

When you politely ask people to report things just because you don't want to be glued to your screen 24/7 or constantly quoting everyone, you get hit with some "I'm not a snowflake" attitude. Yet, they'll happily whine publicly about how everyone else gets away with murder while they'd get a ban or a strike for the exact same thing.

It’s much easier to play the victim than to actually do anything about it.🙄
If you spot a post that doesn't belong in the thread, just report it and move on.

Nobody said you had to be on here constantly. I was just talking about the criteria.

I actually got a response from one of your moderators after I filed a report:

"There's no need to report it, because I can't tell from the post if it's piracy or legitimate originals, etc."
"Even if it was downloaded from the web, that's an issue for the buyer and the seller, not this site."

It doesn't matter who said it; it just proves my point. If this isn't the forum's problem, then people posting those classified ads shouldn't be getting banned either. If they should be, then the rules have to apply to everyone equally.

P.S. Hope I don't get banned for this.😉

Example:

So, this counts as trolling, while that is considered insulting the community?

You really outdo yourself every single time, you edge lord!
