Also I wanna note the mods act like criticism of mod action matters, like, what, they're gonna get :vote: d out or something? I really don't understand how even the mildest criticism of anything sends them :mao-aggro-shining: like lmao literally causing more problems that way.

OH NO THE USERS ARE MAD THEY'RE GOING TO USE THE USER UNION TO OUST US :Bwaaa:

Also before my ban I wanna note: there's now no !userunion@hexbear.net, which means all current posters are posting scabs

edit: I'm loggin' out, good night to all y'all :rat-salute-2:

    There’s definitely users who are given a lot of leeway in their actions where it should be a straight up ban.

    Calling your fellow posters here murderers isn’t any form of action for justice. It’s just being an insufferable prick.

      I will forever mald over not being given even the slightest warning whereas the person wishing death on me is still here, and someone who just wanted her comments removed also got banned (at least they got a warning, though. Mods still shoulda just removed the damn comments IMO, no reason not to except to endorse them).

    y'know, instead of weird depressing metaposting on a 500ish person forum, have you considered the fantastic indie roguelike Caves of Qud by Freehold Games?

      feel like I should specify - Seems like this is mostly depressing for you. Like you said, not anything you can actually do about it, may as well rev up an alt and get back in the trough

        I love this website, I love the users, i love the vibe here, I love to shitpost here, but getting banned over bullshit and having to have a new account subject to the "new account :farquaad-point: wrecker!!" mentality is really grating. Like how long until I get banned for some other bullshit? And there just being this tacit agreement of "if we can't tell you're banned it's okay," I post real shit all the time, I don't want to have to worry "oh if I recommend CBD for covid they'll know it's me!" and shit like that. If I felt like I deserved this ban I wouldn't be malding so, but it's like, where was my warning? Why am I accused of "disinformation" for linking the god damn mod log? It's really aggravating.

      i'm petty

      and, I mean, say someone says you should be killed, you complain about it, you get banned and they don't, you would not be bothered?

        I mean it sounds really shitty but at the end of the day only you can control how much you let this site get to you. Take a break, have a cup of tea and enjoy life outside of this website. I mean this respectfully its not worth expending the energy. Are the minutes in your life really worth wasting it on this? You can't change it, the mods will do what they do no amount of posting will shift that.

        I'm saying this as someone who got way to emotionally involved in this site and took a lot of what was said here personally. It got easier when I just stopped giving a shit.

          You're probably right, it's just hard for me to not obsess over things in general, and especially so when I feel like I have been treated wrongly

          I think the point is OP would rather the abusive users be the ones having to take tea breaks instead of their victims. Over time it creates a toxic and rancid posting culture

          at the end of the day only you can control how much you let ... get to you

          Literally just victim blaming, no matter what goes in the ...

          It's like word for word what uncaring adults say to autistic kids getting bullied. I know because I've heard those words before.

      immediate summary ban w/ no warning because "new account, wrecker!! !!" but criticism is still valid, mods be overzealous and I really don't understand it, it's not like they're going to get upvoted out of their positions or something :shrug-outta-hecks: ban someone for little to no reason with no warning, "oh man they're making new accounts how could all this w r e c k i n g happen!!!" :bordiga-despair:

      p.s. if you really wanna know I got banned because a user wished death on me, "slave owners should be killed and so should you," I posted several times linking the mod log where this happened because they were unbanned and embroiled in further toxic shit with @Poison_Ivy and @A_Serbian_Milf. @Catherine_Steward is on some "final warning" status, ditto poison_ivy, A_Serbian_Milf got warned and then banned for posting again about how they wanted her comments removed. I got 0 warning, 0 mod/admin interaction, summary ban for posting that screencap like 6 times, yay

          the mods could have simply said "hey shut up about this or you get banned" and I at least wouldn't feel like others got SPECIAL PRIVILEGE but woops, summary ban for informing people that someone who should have been banned for two other conflicts also wished death on me :shrug-outta-hecks:

          immediate ban upheld by Ella, no response by CARCOSA when I ask why they get a warning and I get literally no interaction. I posted that shit like 5-6 times and there wasn't even a removal, fuck me though, I should just be glad to watch the person who wished death on me over being mildly annoying post all over the place

          I don't think it's good when users wish death on others and then the person receiving that treatment gets banned for bringing it up but call me old fashioned

          edit: banned and accused of "disinformation" and "misrepresenting events" I linked the mod log and other comments on the site lmao
