I don't have a dog in this fight but the lock was pretty stupid. Mods shouldn't be able to lock topics just because they disagree with the point a user is trying to make.

Why did my topic have to be locked and I moderated for nothing? Why is my side trolling and being a lefty isn't?


Probably because you are trolling and not even attempting a conversation at this point

I'm curious as to why Antifar's topics aren't locked like that. Literally same thing, different spectrum.

Spectrum is a pretty interesting way to put it.

I don't remember seeing anything outrageous by caution in the topic. Or... anything (though I do have a few people on ignore). Either way seems like a normal ass topic.

I think most people have come to accept that moderators here are partisan and inconsistent. There's really no way to navigate that fact without an overhaul of the mod staff. Since that seems to not be an option, the next best thing someone can do is simply take a break from gameFAQs.

You guys will be next. Any opposing opinions aren't tolerated. If you believed in free speech - I mean, even TOU friendly free speech, this should scare you.

Maybe just don't troll and throw temper tantrums? It's not hard. I've seen you make plenty of reasonable posts, but I feel like a lot of the conservative posters on this board love to rile up arguments and sling insults around for no reason, or bring up shit (Hillary) for literally no reason because the majority of us don't care about her whatsoever, and But Hillary is a meme at this point. It's not hard to be reasonable


I don't agree with the premise of the topic itself personally but ultimately there should be nothing wrong with posting something against a public figure (as long as it's not pornographic / violent in nature)... There's a million anti-Trump topics every day what does it matter if there's an anti-Clinton topic

Trolling is against the rules and you do yourself and this sight a disservice by pretending that caution made that topic for legitimate discussion and not to rile people up and provoke violations.

I guess at this stage I'm either subconsciously trolling or the moderators are so blatant in their bias, that it's unreal.

Or a combination of both.

Pretty much. It's just unfortunate when it leads to long-time users leaving for greener pastures.

Don't really see a problem with the topic that was locked. Posted an article and a statement, and people are free to agree or disagree with it. Tons of posters cherry pick articles to try and generate responses, so I'm really not sure why this one would be locked.

Dude, you made an account called LiberalFAQs specifically to troll. Don't pretend you don't know what you're doing. Antifar posts news stories, not years old nonsense about failed presidential candidates to try to excuse the present one being an incompetent piece of racist trash.

A year after Obama won was anyone dredging up years old stories about Romney/McCain to justify stupid things Obama did?


That's not what I'm doing. I'm pointing out things that your candidate did - that you never cared about, until Trump was involved.

Literally 50% of this board didn't even care about politics until Trump came along.

I don't know I just think it's funny to have a double standard like this... If I posted that topic nothing would have happened apparently since I don't have a history of trolling through political articles?

The site has an ignore feature, I don't get why people feel the necessity to punish users they disagree with instead of just utilizing that. Be an adult and use your own judgment on what you want to see on the site.

If you think it's dumb trolling, just ignore him.
If you think it was a serious topic but you just didn't agree with it, then don't respond to the topic.

That's my take as a more-or-less outside observer, though. I've never noticed caution's posting in the past and even that topic didn't really put him on my radar.

I just...don't believe he is racist. I think this whole thing is a witch hunt to make sure he doesn't get a second term or to have everyone turn against him so he doesn't make it to 2020.

It upsets me because that's now how this government nor the system was designed. By the people, for the people.

And this. Caution, you are never interested in having a conversation. Nearly everything you do has a trolling or agenda-driven motive.

Just discuss things like a normal person. It isn't that hard.

This is such a ridiculous (and patronizing) post. Give me a break.

You probably could if you were linking to something that itself would be moddable - but since the topic is locked, not modded, I think it should be okay.

I'm sorry for making a dumb topic. In the heat of the moment, after, (in my view), unfair moderation #200, I got upset.

If they ban me for that, so be it.
