The goalposts keep moving....

Mods are acting overly defensive on this, with Alucard probably reaching the furthest back:

Trayvon Martin was 2012, and he was a lead when I interviewed him for my blog far into 2014. I don't believe in the "he changed" thing either because it was the same complaints about him back then.

Just in case anyone had any doubts about what I was saying about mod grudges and biases, here you go.



This was a WARNING, solely for defending a user who isn't even a member anymore. Never mind the fact that there were absolutely no actual comments of his in question, let alone any "obvious offensive" ones. Someone seems a little bit too concerned about what people think about a banned user. Contrast this example to another time shortly after Kineth closed his account. Now this was a guy who was famously bigoted, like it was his whole personality. I mentioned something he had said once, which he was never even modded for at the time, and I was warned within minutes for even referencing it. I explained in the contest that the moderation was overly harsh considering it was something he really said, and it was never modded. Anyone want to guess what the mod's response was? No really, guess. I bet it was the same mod too since they always like to throw around that same buzzword that Kineth made up whenever they can't find anything wrong but want to punish you for it anyway.

I miss him and I thought he was a jerk.

He was a space account and...I dunno, losing a long-tenured user makes me fear for my own actions.

Maybe I should close my account and just spare the mods the trouble...

I don't know much about him but IMO this board needs more conservative posters because at least sometimes the discussions are worth posting in or reading. So much of CE is the same shit topics over and over again. The political ones are nice when they are good. The problem is that there are too many conservative alts posting stupid shit to troll that it drowns out the guys that are smart and honest about their politics and makes the people on the left just assume everyone is a troll.

So many people on this site think that anyone that questions any of the left's main talking points is automatically a brainwashed trumper trolling everyone. Instead of responding to content or discussing an issue it just turns into insults about fox news or Trump or whatever is popular on reddit that day. It would be nice if there were more genuine conservative posters so that more discussion could happen.
well said, I agree. The problem is as @Annihilated points out conservatives have to be very careful with what they say or the entire thread turns into a flame war instantly. And mods clearly have it out for certain users. And it's true conservatives reply to rampant insults like they are real people, but it really is all for naught.

I only came back to CE to see what happened to Admiral, after my last suspension, I mostly took a break from this site because it really is pointless to argue politics here. Like there is some interesting stuff here to be sure, but it's mostly a shitshow. Yeah I'd like to actually interact with the conservatives here(feel free to PM me conservatives), but the conservative voices are buried under mountains "LOL Trumpers" responses that mods do jackshit about that derail every single topic.

s0nicfan posted...
It also put him in a position where he couldn't even attempt to rebuild his reputation because even if he was talking about something unrelated to politics or race it would still get brought up.


which is really the biggest problem here with politics. either you agree with the often liberal hive mind or you get forever tagged as "LOL Trumper" or some variant of that. On a larger scale it really is going to be what leads America into a civil war as I don't think that kind of attitude can be contained to the internet forever and there are examples of it breaking loose into the real world. The two sides, conservative and liberal are both approach an em passe.

I'm not necessarily talking about flame wars, those are a foregone conclusion the second any leftist enters the conversation. I was mainly talking about violating what the overwhelmingly left leaning mod staff thinks is the ToU. I see them use made up words all the time just to delete random shit: "gaslighting," "concern trolling," "hand waving," none of which is ever explained in the ToU or anywhere in real life. Case in point, RaptorLC ducked my last question of why he was so lenient and even sympathetic towards another user who was far, far more racist than Admiral ever was. Another case in point, there were several very clear flames directed in that topic, none of which were deleted. When I made a topic asking about it, the topic was locked in seconds. It's funny how whatever the mod that warned me thought he was making some kind of point about how we shouldn't imply anything about the mods' bias when they turn around and do exactly the same thing to me.

as much as i sympathized with that frivolous moderation he created a topic about shortly before getting banned, and was slightly amused by people losing their minds by virtue of him existing

i don't particularly care for neoconservatives, or for an individual that allegedly harbored a negative attitude towards my race for that matter

So let's see

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/1003-the-range/78217388

Here we have RaptorLC, AssultTank, gmo7897, yoshifan1, Burgess, and so on saying these things while Admiral was a mod. Aside from his position, what changed? The behavior did not, but the treatment he got was like a light switch depending on whether he was in the mods' circle or not.

Oh, also

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/573081-hellhole/76841541#6

1 1/2 years later, is this claimed rule of theirs ever going into effect? Because I haven't seen it enforced anywhere.

Ive already decided Im going to try, once again, to not bother posting about politics. Im not gonna make a big topic about it. The way I look at it - theres no way I can ever win. It is what it is.

Im done. No more alt posting for me either. I started doing that because I felt my punishments were unfair, and it only provided me more of a chance to get more unruly.

Im just done.


This isn't about a particular political issue. Just a noted conservative user that many conservatives looked up to. I don't think there will be any trouble posting your thoughts.


Literally no one should look up to that dude lol.

I personally dont like bignutzisback or Greatevilempire but both of them are leagues better.

Even if I dont agree with them they actually present legit data and then interpret it.

Addy interprets what he hopes the data is then presents select portions that fit his narrative. Hes fucking trash and anyone who looked up to him should be embarrassed.
