Ukraine

Can the moderators please stop trolling this thread?
It would be more than appreciated...

Thank you.

and everyone before was just caught in a chaotic whirlwind. if I recall correctly, there were links here about how shaky mining hands try to aim at dots in a clear blue summer sky—everyone was just trying to prove themselves by provoking at altitudes under 3,000ft.

well, Zbigniew was busy showing off, handing out Stingers to hikers, while those mining instructors in Ukraine just won't come out of hiding. it’s still just a bunch of barehanded miners out there.

they're doing fantastic. so fantastic, in fact, that arrows snatched by bare, weathered mining hands from abandoned warehouses—calmed down by some cheap bourbon and rough spirits—are reaching twice the heights specified in manuals that haven't been blurred or forgotten by the sick or by time.

Hey, is there any way you could actually include links to the posts themselves?

My apologies, I was under the impression that things worked differently regarding the moderators.
Here are the links requested.

Oops, one more for you.

Honestly, you guys are getting old with all this constant whining and tattling.
The moderator just tossed me 10 points, so I’m gonna hurry up and start a new thread (yeah, another one about Ukraine). That zlocest moderator gave me 35 points just for trolling—man, they must really hate me. I'm heading over to open another topic right now and I'll be filing a formal complaint with the admins.
Let's be real: your only talent is trolling. It’s your whole deal on this board, and then the second you get hit with a penalty, you act like everyone else is the problem.
If we're being totally honest, this whole thread is a circus, and you're definitely the main clown.
We're talking about Ukraine, which is a recognized sovereign nation, yet here you are calling for the destruction of legitimate institutions and backing a terrorist gang that makes life impossible for people living in Ukraine.
That isn't just trolling; honestly, I think the Department of Justice should probably take a look at you and a few other users and what you're posting here.

Wrong Zeus.
The dismantling of this legal administration kicked off right when they swapped out the president... :nails:
Rocky is still playing favorites, and honestly, the moderation team is just as biased as he is.
You can take that Department of Justice joke and shove it wherever you want, because I'm pretty sure those guys have way more important things to do than investigate every frantic little report filed on some random internet forum...

It’s always the same old story... 🙂
Look, while I think most people here would actually agree with granitefalcon26 that those obsessed with the Ukraine threads tend to be the biggest agitators on the PZK subforum—often for no real reason at all—I feel compelled, as per usual, to issue a reminder regarding our conduct:

You are not here to debate the situation in Ukraine (this space is strictly for discussing moderation), and you certainly aren't here to turn on one another. Thank you. 😉

To me, your posts feel more like they’re dripping with irony and sarcasm. I mean, sure, they can come off a bit trollish when everything is just thrown out there in one big pile, but if that kind of stuff isn't being called out elsewhere in the thread anyway, I really don't see why the moderator needs to be penalized for it.

Accusing me of being some massive troll while pushing that kind of paid propaganda is honestly as delusional as Milanović’s latest meltdown.
If you can actually point to one instance of me trolling in the style of a Kansas-based USAfreedompalatz operative, I'll buy you a beer—assuming you aren't just reacting to their lovely posts.

William Bennett53, do you really think it's acceptable for moderators to engage in trolling within the exact same threads where they penalize other users for the same behavior, regardless of whether those users are pro-American or pro-Russian trolls?
Either let the thread go down the drain entirely (which, frankly, it already has) or have the administration refrain from trolling in it altogether.

What part of that is controversial or unnecessary?

I wasn't asking for moderators to be sanctioned; I was simply suggesting they refrain from making those kinds of posts, especially since similar comments are already cluttering the thread.
As I previously stated:

Look, I wasn't actually asking to have the moderator sanctioned or anything; I was just suggesting they hold back on those kinds of comments, especially since we're already seeing plenty of posts here that would normally earn a warning card.

In that case, you really should have just reported those repetitive comparisons, because honestly, it feels like other users are being allowed to post things just as bad—if not worse—than that. Since it looks like everyone is trying to turn this thread into a massive personal grudge match again, I'm locking it down. If a moderator truly deserves a strike, then the supermod or I will handle it. In the meantime, I’m calling on everyone—not just the moderators, but all you regular members too—to please stop the trolling if you actually care about keeping this discussion productive and high-quality.
