Some people are upset they can't call people racial slurs and think the mods are bullying them.

It is, of course, of utmost significance that moderation on a completely free-to-use message board be conducted to the same level of rigour as a court trial, as the mods are clearly the equivalent of the secret police.

First they came for the LUEsers, and I did not speak up, because I was not a LUEser...

See, if I made a ridiculous claim like this falsely accusing people of nonsense, I'd be suspended right now. In fact, any number of things you post on a regular basis would be considered grounds for a suspension if I posted them. And there's the difference between those targeted by the mods and those who live free from such persecution.

Otherwise I'll say that the *only* racial slurs we've really seen on PotD lately have been against whites and darkknight hasn't said a peep about those remarks or the people who made them.

Is this going to be your entire spiel from now until forever? You've been asked to drop it and told you're off base

Also not a single one of your moderations over all of your accounts was handled by the moderator you claim is harassing you.

Who made that claim and where? At any rate, it doesn't change the fact that my posts ARE being treated differently because, again, I've been modded for "agreeing" with things (and took an auto 10kl) where the post I allegedly agreed with wasn't modded.

But while you're here, wouldn't you agree that his remark constitutes flaming? Meanwhile I got modded not long ago for "implying" something about somebody. Just saying.

As I've said before and as you've been told: I'm not moderating you. and I don't moderate this board. Moderation history impacts future moderations. Stop violating the ToU. Your past violations are a giant neon sign

Was he just looking at Taily_Po's stuff? And regardless, whether or not one mod is involved, there's a REALLY weird pattern going on if I get modded for "agreeing" with things (even when I'm really not) when the "offensive" concept I'm supposedly agreeing to isn't even touched. Whether or not one specific moderator is behind it doesn't change the fact that it's really suspicious since it was no-actioned *twice*.

Nah, it happens because you have a history of ToU violations and suspensions and purgs and probably bans. It's not hard to not post stupid offensive crap. Do you not have anything else to do besides do that, then make new accounts to whine about it?

Even with a completely clean history for a year or so, I was suspended off my FIRST offense not that long ago. And, while my moderations are going to carry harsher punishments because I have a suspension in my history (which, again, happened off the FIRST offense), that doesn't change the fact that you're saying things that would trigger a moderation for me but do nothing for you because, again, there's a double standard involved. And that initial moderation was ideologically motivated because the moderator complained that my remark wasn't "balanced" because I only trashed one side.

I haven't made new accounts in a few years, but it looks like I'm going to have to because I could easily get modded for quoting some stupid shit you said -- getting suspended -- whereas nothing would happen to your post because #Blessed.

They're not actually that bad these days.

But there was a point in time where they were fucking awful.

I got modded for quoting a post without saying anything(which was popular even back then) and for "spoiling" a historical novel written in the 16th century.

They were on some crazy ass power trip back then. Nowadays they're pretty reasonable. I still feel like I have the occasional moderation that feels petty, but it's nothing like it once was. And most of the mods I'm familiar with are all pretty cool posters.

The last incarnation of the moderation system was far closer to fairness. The new system is probably the worst regarding treatment of posters, since not only are things back to being arbitrary & capricious but the traditional checks and balances are all but removed.

that is actually the entire reason for that flair

Not completely, the Community flair is not a blanket "I can post anything I want on here" flair, it is just a topic that, while not entirely related to the board, is a topic that relates to the community. For example:

Posting a topic about a streamer who streams on a PS4 while using the community flair: Good
Posting a topic about the Switch on the PS4 board while using the community flair: Off-topic

I know there is a topic somewhere that goes into more detail, but that is the gist of it.
