How does he get to say I made threats on his kids and not back it up? Prove it Yuv and if I made those comments ban me and I’ll never post again.

Yes, as do self requested bans.

is everything okay man? you do realize i never said that, right? you do know that my posts are right here?

i don’t want anyone to stop posting here. and also i apologize if you think i ā€˜ignored’ you, i just don’t think we interact much and the last time we did was unpleasant, as i mentioned above.

would be better for everyone if we avoid ā€˜lol losers who cares about internet’ comments. that is still my one and only argument here and you just proved it for me better than i could ever.

Hey! I have literally never mentioned you or talked about you but here you are talking a lot about me and shit! Over one comment I made about how the complainers have a lot of time on their hands. Take care bro! Sorry that poker tournament hand ruffled your feathers!

I’ve been moderated.

Saying shit like ā€œnor have your friendsā€ is enormously insulting but you do you.

What do you propose to do when someone sends you PMs telling you to kill yourself?

Turn off the throttle. It’s a discussion forum.

Reread what Yuv said, he didn’t say you made abusive posts or threatened his kid(s)

The bolded is absolutely true and I have the receipts bookmarked if you really feel the need to keep pressing the matter for whatever reason but it’s probably better if you just actually drop it.

People flinging accusations at each other isn’t a discussion but fuck it, go nuts.

I never have felt the scorn of someone hating my hand decision over that A4 tournament hand like Yuv the last few months. I still like his good posts tho! He’s not a bad person!

To be honest I skipped over 100 posts and just seen he said he was leaving so yeah you might be right. I’m also drunk and just didn’t want someone else to leave.

Im not really trying to rag on prana. I kinda think he is going thru something

Going through being sick of y’all whining every night about moderation like teenagers, yes. Like, Victor, I just want to banned and deleted because of your and other peoples’ constant whining.

I have to admit that ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  is right and I’ve moderated some users more harshly than I would moderate others based on their perceived reputations as bad actors.

I banned(or silenced, can’t remember) churchill for what I perceived to be antivax posting that in retrospect was a misread on my end but either way he lost the ability to post here for two weeks because of a bad decision on my part.

I banned jalfrezi for two weeks for ā€œneverending trolling of other usersā€ that I couldn’t remember the context or reasoning behind and had to dig through his posts from that time frame to figure out what triggered the ban, and it certainly wasn’t something that would get anyone else 2 weeks off.

I don’t really know where I’m going with this and I don’t want people to bring up reasons why these were actually good decisions because of events that happened in 2019 or something but there’s definitely a problem that some posters get singled out as ā€œbadā€ and then anything they do that confirms that ā€œbad posterā€ idea is held against them. Similarly there are ā€œgoodā€ users who can be shitty to people or make snide references to other people’s pasts and nothing happens to them because of course they’re a ā€œgood posterā€ and even if that post was shitty they probably didn’t really mean it, or their other posting is so good we can ignore the occasional shitty post, etc. etc.

I (another sentence starting with I, quite the megalomania going on here) don’t think any of the mods intentionally behave in this biased manner and we try to do our best to remain fair and neutral but we’re humans and we fail miserably at it all the time.

Anyway, since I became a mod there was a vote that mods should serve 6 month terms, and I’ll have been a mod for 6 months on the 18th, so I’ll also step down then instead of sticking around longer.

I’m guessing basically everyone here would have a good time having a beer (or whatever) with other people from here. Basically everyone here are good people and the fact we have forgotten that is a large part of the problem.
