For fucking real. All I did was take a users post about how he felt white people were under attack (his post was not a TOS violation), quote it as is, attribute it to that poster, and present it in a neutral way - calling it an interesting take and asking what others thought about it. Thats it. It wasnt presented in a manner that was anything even close to antagonizing. I didnt call said user dumb, I didnt say his take was idiotic, and yet it still went down for "harassment".

I stupidly thought maybe I could get a more reasonable consideration by appealing - NOPE. And because they really dont want you to appeal moderations anymore, this ridiculous decision will be held against me for nearly two months. What a fucking joke. Its no wonder this place is hemorrhaging users to sites like Reddit.

Idk dude.
Being socially inept isn't nearly half as dumb as thinking white people are under attack.
One is just low hanging fruit, the other is a piece of fruit that fell on the ground last week and it's all mushy and shit.

The new mod system of appeals is so obviously aimed at discouraging disputes that I don't know why they even bothered pretending otherwise. Allen might has well have just said "We're fucking tired of reading and responding to disputes so here's the new deal. I'm putting in a vote system so I don't have to reply to them anymore. Don't like it then just accept your moderations"

Also I have definitely noticed it becoming more of a babyfaqs recently. Flame rule was stupid enough but now moderations are being handed out for even more ridiculous things than usual

Yep. Topics that are actually aimed at harassing users like Duncan dont have shit done about them. Gotta love the absurd inconsistency. Consider this gem about paying a dollar to have Vegy and Fake Vegy banned - clearly antagonistic, but apparently A-okay.

Its unfortunate, but youre spot on. Things started getting worse when they adopted the zero tolerance flaming rules a year or so ago, and the terrible moderating has really been cranked up to 11 since they added the new mods a few months ago.

I appreciate that our volunteer mods are willing to give their time to clean up the message boards here, but the end result has been undeniably abysmal, and its been compounded by the extreme discouragement of appealing like you said. Setting up a 66% threshold for appeal success and disallowing any further conversation or clarification after the mod vote is just pathetic.

Awww, did Mabus get a little moddy woddy? J/k - I always found those posts to be hilarious, but I could understand them getting hit for trolling too.

Also its pretty ridiculous that your Boogie topic got hit for flooding somehow. There are quite a few Boogie topics, but its doesnt seem like a major thing, and its certainly not anywhere close to previous disruptive fads like the perfect girl but... and Dan Schneider topics.

No. Calling it an "interesting take"? Yeah, no, you know what you were doing. This wasnt about starting a discussion.
