Scot?

I truly cannot wrap my head around this absurdity! I personally submitted a request to have the user "agent" banned—yes, I requested it myself—and yet, in some bizarre turn of events, they went ahead and nuked all my other accounts just because "agent" was taken out! What kind of twisted logic is that? And more importantly, where in the official community guidelines does it state that requesting a ban on one account warrants a total wipeout of my entire digital presence?!😕

I find myself wondering what the point of even being present here is if nobody actually gives a damn about anything; I mean, I go ahead and ban myself, and then I get chewed out by Scotman just because he’s obsessed with the fact that a username has been banned, completely disregarding the actual reason behind it! Besides, this isn't exactly the only forum in the US—there are plenty of others out there—so I'll just find somewhere else to hang out!

Doesn't really apply to me, but I did happen to read it. here 🤷

my specific case isn't even covered by the rules!

The guidelines state what happens if you are banned, but they say absolutely nothing about what happens IF I AM ACTIVELY SEEKING A BAN!!

Look, at the end of the day, the moderators have every right to remove you from their subforum if they decide it’s what’s best for you and the community as a whole.
Next time, you might want to be a bit more careful about what you go looking for—you might just get exactly what you asked for.

?! Well, I asked for a ban and I actually got one! I honestly don't see what part of this is confusing! And Scotman banned Jerry Cooper3 because he was supposedly a "clone account under a ban," which is the very ban I requested myself!

It isn't even the case that I was banned for causing trouble or being disruptive; it happened simply because my original handle was deactivated, and quite frankly, I was the one who specifically asked for that handle to be shut down!

The official reason listed for the original handle's ban is: "User requested it!" So, I didn't even have any points or standing associated with that account—I just explicitly asked them to pull the plug on it!

So, I actually requested a ban on my old username, Agent, because of some private matters I needed to settle! And then, like a flock of mindless sheep, the moderators didn't even bother to read the actual reason—which was that *I* requested the ban myself—they just jumped straight to banning my new handle too, simply because I’m technically banned, regardless of the context! I only opened this new account specifically so there wouldn't be any lingering connection to the Agent persona!

And then, get this, they go ahead and ban this current account as well, yet when I manage to get it reinstated after pleading my case, they leave a permanent mark on my history with a partial ban, citing that I am "unnecessary" there!

Now, I can't even start a single new account because the moment I try to post anything, my history catches up to me and I'm slapped with another ban! It isn't even as if I was causing trouble in that subforum; I was just doing what anyone does—starting threads and responding to others!
If I hadn't gone ahead and asked to be banned from that whole mess in the first place, none of this would have happened! It's like one of those legal dramas where the indictment gets thrown out, but you're still treated like a criminal nonetheless!

But hey, that's just how it goes; I'm the victim here, and apparently, victims are just meant to be punished!

What a joke of a system, what a bunch of mods, and what a pathetic excuse for a forum!

Instead of actually being grateful that we’re carving out our own precious time to contribute here, they go and penalize us as if we were some kind of domestic terrorists!

I personally feel that Scotman is one of the better moderators on the politics board. I suppose users who feel the need to register more than one nickname should probably be prepared to face all the consequences of their unusual decisions.

slybison8 said:If you ask me, Scotman is easily one of the most competent moderators on the Politics forum. As for those users who feel the sudden urge to register multiple accounts? Well, they ought to be prepared to face the music and deal with whatever fallout comes from such questionable decisions.

My dear slybison8, have you even bothered to read my post properly? I am discussing the history of banning procedures, not the politics of creating new handles whenever someone feels like it! Good grief! 🙄

I'm just trying to get my thoughts down. Still working on it. wiredangler5 says:
The governor requested that James Bond be banned due to some private issues. Then the mods just followed suit like sheep, not even bothering to read why the ban happened—I actually asked for it myself. They just went ahead and banned my new account immediately because I'm already flagged, regardless of the reason.

So then they banned me. Even after my mobile account got unblocked, they left this partial ban on my history of granting governorship just because they decided I was "unnecessary" there.

Look, I’ll just say this publicly. Even after all those private messages, you still aren't getting it. I've explained everything already, but it seems like we're just not on the same page.
Let's take this one step at a time. When I first noticed your username... James Bond Banned. I permanently nuked your account. Honestly, I didn't realize what was actually going on, and it wasn't my business anyway. It’s just not my thing and I couldn't care less. Once I was asked to lift the ban and they walked me through the situation, I said fine—but we're sticking to a partial restriction on the history of granting governorship.

It was mostly because I’d already thought about giving you a partial ban before; I actually asked for one once.It’s you and a few others in the bundle.It didn't happen during that massive forum meltdown, so I just let things slide. Once this situation actually popped up, though, I used it as a chance to finally fix that old issue I’d been meaning to tackle. Just to be clear, I didn't make this call entirely on my own. I wouldn't want you to think I was acting unilaterally.

Jerry Cooper3 said:I can't get any of my other accounts to work. Every time I try to post anything in the history of granting governorship section, I get banned immediately. I haven't done anything wrong there; I was just starting threads and replying to people like everyone else.
If I hadn't asked for the history of granting governorship for this whole mess, none of this would be happening. The point is—kind of like in those TV shows—the indictment might get tossed, but you're still guilty.

So that's how it is—I'm the victim, and I guess I deserve to be punished for it.

He’s not playing the victim here. Everything was explained clearly, probably for the tenth time already. This is the last time. Honestly, I'm done arguing about this. Don't hit me up in my DMs; we've already settled everything.
And one more thing, I've already explained this to you once. A partial ban applies to you and all your alternative accounts. Don't ask me which handle you can use just to keep posting on the History subforum.I have to admit, you really threw me for a loop with those questions. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or just cry.). You can't open any of them. A partial ban applies to all your accounts.
Stop cloning yourself. If you keep showing up with new accounts, I'll have to report the next one to the history of granting governorship along with this profile, and you really don't want that. You have the whole forum at your disposal—just post whenever you feel like it. Don't push me to the point where your constant cloning gets this account permanently banned. It's just not worth it.

I've said my piece and everything stands. No need to drag this out any further.Don't even think about starting any new threads here.Because a partial governor remains.

Hey there.
