The one solid one that comes to mind for topics like this is when I got modded for posting that AOC wants to abolish ICE. The mod claimed that AOC only wanted to defund ICE until it was changed and not abolish it, and that posting false information as a fact was trolling. That in itself was bullshit given how much untrue stuff is said here.

But I gave links to 10 websites that backed my claim, with all of them specifically using the word "abolish", including a video of her being interviewed by CNN about it. Still upheld.

Veracity seems almost irrelevant versus the whims of whomever is moderating. But then too, it just really depends on which mod gets it. They probably ignore a large amount of tagged posts so Ive always suspected that theres a very small number of moderators that disproportionately mete out moderations. I stopped posting much meaningful stuff here once I realized this. Its kinda like Twitter in that regard and also how no one should be shocked that such behaviors and policies are why this site is dying off.

yeah i kinda agree with you. but if a small number of mods are giving most of them out, don't they say that the dispute system where they all vote on it, should even that out? etc....?

Eh the one I can think of I'm more mad at who marked me than the mod itself. I was clearly not meaning to be offensive just hadn't brushed up on terminology that was considered offensive. Coulda politely explained it was an offensive term and I'd likely have apologized and carried on.

I still chose to take it as a learning experience though.

Oh, well then yeah, they expect you to either not be disrespectful for at least a brief period of time or just not celebrate their death. People were doing the latter when Rush Limbaugh died and there were mass moderations, and the former when Queen Elizabeth died (although not as many).

Although they could sort of skirt around that, as there were tons of "Oh no. Anyway..." memes.

That would inversely make more sense because a small charismatic core group would easily influence others in such a paradigm. Kinda like Lord of the Flies. There is zero incentive to stand against the groupthink especially for controversial topics

All the time. Most times I don't worry about, but other times I am like what the hell.

Like for example. I talked about police attacking a black lady. The whole tenor of my post was condemning the police. Then I said and Biden wants to hire more of these people. Clearly speaking about police. And they said I was talking about black people. I was WARNED for that one.
Ironically I was later modded for saying what the Republican party stood for.

Avengers Endgame came out a day early in Australia. I went and saw it, and I decided to make a thread titled "ITT: we spoil Avengers Endgame".

Personally, I think that any reasonable person who didn't want to get spoiled would read that and go "I'm not going to click on that, it has spoilers". But the joke of the thread was that it wasn't even a spoiler - the first post, which is absolutely not an aspect of the movie, was "Scott Lang has a tiny ant-sized penis".

If I had been modded for obscene content or whatever the fuck, that would have been justified. I got warned for spoilers.

The only moderation I even remember is my very first one, there was some dumb topic on a game board and someone on like post #11ish said "this topic sucks 488 lols for TC" (like with the implication that it would be a 500 topic of nothing but people saying lol)

and I posted all 488 of them in a single post and got modded for spamming

My topic talking about Wu-Tang Clan lyrics on the Rap/Hip-Hop board was moderated for being off-topic. It was upheld twice.

I was moderated for offensive posting for insulting Nazis/white supremacists. Not accusing certain political party members Nazis. Not accusing users of being Nazis. I was making fun of actually white supremacist groups. That moderation was upheld twice as well.

Back when I actively posted here over 20 years ago, one of the CE mods was legitimately learning-disabled right-winger kid from Texas. It turned out like 2-3 years later he had been kidnapped by his dad and was basically never allowed to leave the house and didn't go to school. It made the news in Texas and national news to a degree.

Again, someone that dumb was a mod here.
