Current Events > Have you ever been modded for having the "wrong" opinion?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Huh?

No. I occasionally get modded for breaking the rules.

Let's find out

I don't hate pitbulls

Nope.

I do understand the difference between what an opinion is, and what a fact is though.

I can't remember the last time I got modded at all. Just don't break the rules. It shouldn't be that difficult.

On average, I only get modded every few months.

Sometimes not even then.

B7. It was nice knowing you.

I got warned twice for saying literal facts.

Every single moderation ever on this site has been for wrongthink, even stuff whereopinions have nothing to do with anything, like posting porn, spoilers, off topic, linking to sites that have malware etc. All just 1984 stuff.

I'm not a bigot, so no.

I don't hate conservatives

FFVI is mediocre

Animals are better than humans

I own a $100 pair of skinny jeans

I find it difficult to believe anyone gets modded for having the "wrong" opinion.

In my opinion, rules sux so yes.

Didn't fit their narrative.

Yeah. I said the security guards at Area 51 should do their job. But I was wrong. They should just let anyone who shows up waltz on in.

I got modded for making fun of literal white supremacists in Europe. Like the topic was about a neo-Nazis in the UK(?). Was upheld too.

I got suspended for advocating for common sense gun safety on Hollywood film sets. (Rust)
Everyone thought that I was a republican just because I know gun safety. So I got marked by a huge number of idiots.

No, I proudly possess only those opinions of which authority figures approve.

I didn't like a ts posing on the SI swimsuit issue.

Facts are simple and facts are straight
Facts are lazy and facts are late
Facts don't come with points of view
Facts don't do what I want them to
Facts just twist the truth around
Facts are living turned inside out
Facts are getting the best of them
Facts are nothing on the face of things

A bunch of posters got warned for posting some initial skepticism on the Jussie Smollett situation, then they turned out to be right lol

yeah, but I still deserved it

It wasn't an opinion, it was a legitimate answer to a question.

All the time

I don't get moderated because I'm not a sinner

We can fix that

Yes is in the lead btw

Just because something is factual doesn't mean it isn't offensive or used to promote a moddable viewpoint, especially when you're only posting a small slice of the information.

For example, there's some real dangers from vaccines, like myocarditis. But being unvaccinated makes you more likely to get myocarditis from covid than getting it from the vaccine by a huge margin. If you don't give the whole picture, you get modded for anti-vax BS.
That's just one example, other issues with trans rights, race, or war are easily moddable for posting "facts". You can't use facts to justify bigotry.

Probably 50/50 of my modded messages are bs, probably 25% overturn rate. I don't get modded very much in the first place, though, so they're probably going to be borderline.

Another that comes to mind is when people post crime statistics but out of context.

Yeah. The wrongthink police run here.

There are times where I was like yup I deserved that. But other times I just don't agree with the narrative of a given subject and stating my opinion gets me in trouble. So I stopped giving my opinion.

I think I've only been modded twice in my time here. One, I still dont agree with. The other, I knew I would be modded, but I couldn't pass up making the joke.

Yeah. Sometimes opinions are "trolling" according to joke mods.

No but I did get modded for pointing out an inconvenient fact.

Maybe.

I currently have a strike against me for sharing my honest opinion of a moderator here.

He in turn blocked me from having to see any more of his ignorant posts ever again.

So yeah.

Totally worth it. :D

Too many people confuse lies and incorrect statements with opinions. Reality is objective.

the last time i got modded was for talking trash about quebec

i mention this a lot, but i got modded for saying persona is "anime bullshit"

so in other words, the right opinion

No, I was always modded for having the right opinion.

For wrong opinions? No.

I do not have wrong opinions.

Let's try it out

ive tried Dark Souls remastered and don't really care for it, nor for the genre as a whole

Yea the mods have a different opinion on the rules than I do
