This admin is totally out to get me.
If he won't let me post, he might as well just ban me for good.
Seven days ago, he decided seven of my posts were "weird" and slapped me with a ban.
I wrote those posts over just a few days, and they’re still sitting there.
Then one day, out of nowhere, he hits me with seven warnings in like two minutes and bans me. I sat around waiting for the ban to expire. It ended this morning, so I jumped on and wrote a new piece about Russia [ main topic ]. A few hours later, I see it's been deleted. Why?
And instead of my post, I see these two trolls who have been posting nothing but tiny, needle-sharp comments for a year now—just "Russians and thugs... thugs and Russians..." You can't learn a single damn thing from them; it's just pure provocation.
On the flip side, this morning I spent maybe half an hour doing actual research in American newspapers, translating it, and adding my own commentary, only for this admin to wipe it out.
When I actually write something, people show up and read it—we're talking 100 or 200 views.
He’s blocking me from contributing, yet he lets these two trolls run wild, repeating the same "Russians and thugs" nonsense for a year without deleting them.
Imagine if I started writing about Israel using nothing but "walls and thugs... walls and thugs..."
JUST BAN ME ALREADY. This is impossible.

Just wanted to ask you quickly so we can wrap this up—is your handle Prokhorov?

Look, I’m asking nicely: stop handing out unsolicited advice, and mods, please don't take the political debates personally. Also, a quick heads-up—I'd appreciate it if you'd stop flooding my inbox with useless PMs.

I have no intention of stepping on anyone's toes regarding their job here. If a moderator decided to delete something, they probably had a reason. Take it up with them directly; I’m not the forum's legal counsel.

Thanks.

I just wanted to briefly express that I fully support rezon@tor regarding how he moderated the collective thread about Russia on the World forum. I don't believe there was any specific intent to target anyone. I suppose I always thought that kind of approach was reserved strictly for the aviation industry. ☕

Just finished writing this post
And he already deleted it
Who am I even supposed to vent to?

Israel, Russia to cooperate on energy projects

Israel and Russia are teaming up on energy projects
here is the link

I'm not wasting my damn time translating this just to get nuked again.

Anyway, here's the bottom line
Russia criticized Israel over those settlements they're building in Palestine
but apparently, that doesn't stop them from shaking hands where there's money to be made.

If the Russians don't mind the settlements—which are basically favorites of the US and UK—why would they care about Americans?
Russians aren't extremists, and neither are the settlers.

I bet I'll get a "hate speech" warning from the admin now
if this bothers him, just ban me already.

If the admin is hunting for hate speech, he should look at these two trolls who've been running wild for a year saying Russians are extremists and extremists are Russians...

To the admin—who banned me [ for hate speech ]
Russians aren't Mexicans and they aren't extremists, and that goes for Orthodox Christians too [ Orthodox Christians aren't extremists ].
Orthodox Christians joined NATO and the EU before America did [ like Greece, Romania, Bulgaria... ]
In progressive laws and modern countries, you go after individuals, not entire groups, nations, or religions.

There's your excuse!
Is there anyone else left I can go after?

You’ve got Nick, Auntie Strileta, Tyndall, the big boss Anderlon, The Edge—I could go on all day. You’ve got the forum mods and admins too. Why not take your complaints to them?

My colleagues have my full support, and personally, I wouldn't dream of getting involved.

Is there anyone I can actually complain to?

Sure, I handle appeals within the Politics subforum. So, I don't really get why you ignored my question while giving long-winded reports on everything else, only to turn around and ask where to file a complaint.
Let me ask again: was your old username Prokhorov?
