Who can I talk to?

Who can I actually talk to about getting protection from the targeted harassment I'm facing from certain moderators (specifically lonebadger6 and Maria Fowler39)? It all kicked off over in the Politics Story subforum, where I was being slapped with warnings and penalty points just because my views didn't align perfectly with the moderation team's agenda (I’ve already gone into full detail about this on the Ban Corner and with the Women's Rights Organization), eventually building up to a Partial ban last summer.

Then, a few weeks ago, lonebadger6 sent me a DM essentially threatening me, saying that once he became a moderator over at Television (which, by the way, he has since done), I'd be looking at a Partial ban the first chance he got. Well, today that threat became a reality.

And let's be real: the super-mods and the admin, Nice, are obviously going to jump straight to their defense and claim that I'm the sole problem here. But they aren't. They really aren't. I doubt the forum owner is even going to bother getting involved in this mess. So, I'm assuming there isn't any actual authority left to turn to, but I'd love for someone to tell me if I'm right or wrong about that.

Just a quick correction—lonebadger6 has been a moderator over at Television for just over three years now, and they took on the moderator role for Politics about six months after that.

Just so I can clear up a few things you got wrong in your post. First off, lonebadger6 didn't suddenly jump in to moderate the Television subreddit; he's actually been a regular moderator there for ages. Also, my colleague wasn't threatening you with a Partial ban—he was just passing along a decision from the Television moderators that if you kept acting this way, you’d end up facing a Partial ban on their sub. I guess you decided to ignore that warning, because last night you went ahead and called those girls from the Star variety show names, which was honestly pretty disgusting.

It’s honestly irrelevant which of those two subforums they used to moderate, so please don't go thinking you've somehow corrected a vital fact or contributed something meaningful to the discussion by pointing it out.

Sure, it was a threat—and it's a threat that has now been carried out. You can try to interpret it however you want, pretending it wasn't a violation of some rule (whether written down or just understood), but anything I posted in that subforum could have served as the "final straw" that led to my Partial status.

Oh, and I totally forgot to mention the part where they were egging on the other moderators (from different subforums) to come after me with warnings and bans.

Look, this isn't exactly the right corner of the site for us to try and talk you out of your conspiracy theories... so feel free to keep believing that I’m some sort of lizard-person leader running this entire operation just to target you specifically. Apparently, in your aggressive* blindness, you haven't realized that you're insulting the entire moderation team by treating us like we don't have our own minds... but I suppose that's not really relevant to an actual discussion.

As for the actual facts:

1. Your Partial restriction on Politics was handed down unanimously by every single moderator here.

2. The request to lift that restriction on Politics was rejected unanimously. (And honestly, instead of wasting everyone's time, maybe try reading back through your own threads in the Women's Corner to see how you actually communicate)

3. It’s almost funny how much you play the naive victim while assuming we're all idiots, because the reality is quite different—you targeted the Television board specifically because you saw Maria Fowler39 and me moderating there, and one of your very first moves was to attack the staff and provoke us (those deleted posts are still very much visible to anyone in charge), not to mention your political commentary.

4. Given our experience with you on Politics (both Maria Fowler39 and myself) and your behavior in the Women's Corner (which all moderators have witnessed), the Television staff unanimously decided to issue a warning before the Partial restriction would kick in upon your next violation.

5. Then came your bizarre stalking of my posts and that tragicomic attempt at provocation in the Women's Corner which landed you right back in the Ban Corner (* which, even to the most oblivious people, made it pretty clear who the actual bully was, though it's hardly our fault if your attempts at harassment are so consistently unsuccessful)

6. After your ban expired, you drifted over to OFF and started picking fights about the staff again, bringing up Maria Fowler39 and trying to stir up drama until you ended up banned once more.

7. Once you were back, you went straight to the Television board and insulted a group of 14 and 15-year-old singers 🤦 calling them names, which is exactly why the Partial was triggered.

You're welcome to keep spinning your webs; you've received the official explanation regarding the restrictions. Whether you choose to believe it or not is entirely up to you. Just know that the decision regarding your status was unanimous on both Politics and Television (not that it matters, since I supported it 100%, but I figured it might rattle your conspiracy foundations a bit—neither Maria Fowler39 nor I even brought it up on Politics). If you want to know what kind of user you really are, just look at the twenty-one pages of warnings spread across every board you've touched.

Goodbye.

(Unless you suddenly realize I also moderate Handball and feel a sudden urge to show up there, given it's your favorite sport lately...)

Sure, that was a threat, and now that threat has been carried out. I suppose you could interpret it however you want—as a violation of some rule, whether it was actually written down or just unwritten—but basically, whatever I posted on that subforum served as the final excuse they needed to push me toward a Partial.

Oh, right, I also forgot to mention how they were egging on other moderators from different sections to come after me with warnings and bans.

🤦
Responding to this kind of nonsense is honestly just a waste of breath.

Honestly, there’s just no point in even engaging with this kind of nonsense.

It’s not nonsense. I’m not saying you were the one behind it, but your buddy lonebadger6 definitely was—which he pretty much admitted himself if you listen closely enough.

Martian, your colleagues already gave you a heads-up a while back that any further rule-breaking would land you with a partial ban. Well, it happened. That last stunt where you were calling those girls names? Yeah, that was the breaking point. Simple as that.
