Politics

Nick, at least send some kind of signal so I know where we stand.

I’m posting here since rustydrifter10 isn't saying anything.

I am requesting the removal of those specific political sections I requested myself—if that is even possible.

Best,

Probably not, though we haven't reached an agreement just yet.

Why would I? I didn't wait for the mods to hand it to me—I went out and got it myself.
Whatever.

When you submit a request for a partial, the exact same set of rules applies as if a moderator had assigned it directly via a formal decision.

That makes zero sense to me—but fine.
It’s all well and good if you all need to reach a consensus; I don't see why that would be an issue, considering I haven't been a troublemaker—which, by the way, is why the mods gave me partial credit. I've only got about five strikes on politics in total, none exceeding 35 points, and if I recall correctly, I've never even been banned.

Do whatever you have to do.

You actually wrote this once before

Just so we're clear, you guys are hands down the worst mods on this entire forum.

Since nothing ever changes around here anyway, you won't be losing your status.

So, since you can't handle criticism, you refuse to issue a ban. If this were an actual insult, I might have a point—but as it stands? Fine. If you need to feed off this kind of behavior, good luck to you.

If this was such a massive issue—a "dealbreaker," as you put it—why didn't you just ban me yourselves? Not that I expect an answer; there’s clearly no logical explanation for it anyway.

I must admit, I am genuinely taken aback by the "reasoning" provided.

Man, you could have actually given me some substance here 🙂 You should probably take a look at this, though; there’s a much more important post from a former moderator that makes it crystal clear that when someone requests a partial review, all the standard rules still apply just like they would for a full one:

I’m genuinely curious—what exactly is so controversial about this content?
Did I actually offend someone? What is the issue with holding a different opinion—does that somehow disqualify me from posting? I assume I would have been suspended or banned if there were an actual violation here.
Go ahead and moderate however you see fit; I have no problem with that. I just want to read without being logged out, and occasionally comment when a topic actually catches my interest.

People over there are racking up dozens of strikes while the resident trolls run the show, yet somehow, I am the problem.

I received a decent response.

Just send the key.
