Fuck this shit, I'm out.

Just to be clear, so it doesnt seem like I'm just whining about stuff and not doing anything, these are all messages I have sent to a moderator when this situation went down that went compeltley unanswered:

Never responded to any of those valid complaints.

 

I'll stick around for a bit, to see how this current report situation pans out. I'm curious to see if this thread will just get deleted or if any actual change will come of this stuff being out in the open, now that I'm not really afraid of getting booted from the site and can actually stand up for myself instead of rolling over and allowing stuff to happen because I cant do anything to change it.

Idk, maybe I'm being too dramatic and I will stick around. But at the same time, I really really hate continuing to be somewhere where that mod has complete unchecked authority after abusing it like that.

 

Well, I hope you stick around and I hope you don’t get banned. I’ve never seen you say anything crazy or extreme and I’ve never seen you harass anyone. Like someone posted earlier, these mods could be damaged people too so we don’t know exactly what they’re thinking.

 

To be honest Alexander has bigger problems than all this. I say keep him out of it.

Well, I can't be aware of everything that has happened to you, but to give the mod team some credit, I have always gotten best support from them. They may have been harsh at times, but I soon realized that wasn't directed just specifically on me, coz another idiot had already made some mess and so it was directed towards my issue too in a way... Anyway, it is a private platform, so these people ultimately have the final say. They may not always agree with what you think and that's alright. I don't think ranting off about this will help either way. Once again, try to see it from their point of view, and it being a private concern. Things happen sometimes.

Hope you see some light at the end of tunnel, and reach a positive conclusion.

 

We can make differing opinions without being banned in here, it has never been an issue. And I don't even know whatever you are citing. I don't care too.
What I have stated is still valid. Big words won't add an iota of more validity to any of our statements.
What I have said above is that first it is a private site, so clearly certain "freedom of speech" rhetorics won't apply in here. Second, mods are human, and blaming them in outright disrespectful manner ain't gonna help your case with them either way.
My points are valid, and will remain so, irrespective of whatever happens on a million other websites.

 

Yeah, exactly... I wasnt allowed to bring light to issues in the past, because my thread about this was deleted by a mod for zero reason and he wasnt even punished for it. So I think I have every right to tell the truth.

Also, yall may not be aware, but I used to be a moderator on this site a few years ago. I literally know EXACTLY what they deal with, more than probably any of you... and I still would never act the way some of them are acting, and i believe it is wrong.

Seems like its already there, from my perspective. This latest decision is just the straw that broke the camel's back. I've been reported for several things I thought were dumb since that incident with the mod deleting my thread, one of which from that mod and I was pretty dang certain he was just going through old posts of mine to find something to report me for, and I didnt complain AT ALL. I very calmly accepted my punishment in silence, so as not to stir the pot. But I'm done with that, and I think people here deserve to know some of these things that have happened without any resolution. All the messages I sent about that moderator having too much unchecked power and me not feeling comfortable with a mod deleting my perfectly fine thread that didn't break any rules just because he didnt like it, and they did basically nothing. I never even got so much as a reply.

Listen, I've been on the mod team and I know they are busy, but they're not THAT busy. Trust me. They really are not too busy to be kind and try to understand that we want to know what's going on if we make a formal complaint against a moderator and they used their power in an inappropriate way. They are absolutely not too busy for that. I've tried time and time again to be calm and put myself in their shoes, but I cant understand how some of these things have happened. I know what it's like to be in their shoes, and i know that they are capable of more kindness (by "they," I'm not talking about every mod. I have had some of them be kind, but I'm not talking about those ones.)

I've literally said these same words many many times, so clearly I understand that. I'm not asking to be able to break rules without punishment. I'm asking that the mods follow their own rules. If I went and deleted somebody's thread because i didnt like it (if I were capable of that), I would get in trouble for it. So why is it okay for a mod to do that with no repercussions? The thread I made did not break any rules. I was simply asking a tech question about how to make an appeal, since the mod I asked about it wouldn't tell me and just wanted to talk about how entitled I am for wanting to make an appeal. I broke no rules that day, and my thread was deleted, and he cited the reason for deletion was that I said the issue had been resolved, which was a bold face lie.

First off, I realize mods are human. I'm not nitpicking every little thing they've ever said or done. I even typed out a whole message about this one thing that happened that I decided to delete, because it was nitpicky and i thought that was unnecessary. I'm not just whining over dumb crap, these are serious issues that I have already brought to the attention of the moderation team with absolutely no response.

Secondly, I'm not interested in helping my case with them. I've already done everything I possibly could to address this situation in a healthy and respectful manner, like an adult, and I was completely ignored and not even dignified with so much as a "thanks, we'll look into it" reply. Absolutely nothing. Complete silence. So I'm done now.

My interest is not in helping my case with mods, my interest right now is in exposing this garbage before I leave. Because I think people deserve to know that theres a mod on the team who treated me completely inappropriately with no consequences. That's a big deal, in my opinion, and it says a lot about the way this site is run. And if people are going to stick around here, or even support this site with their money, I think they have a right to know that.

You know absolutely nothing about my progress. And yeah, I do spend a lot of time in off topic, mostly because reading a bunch of poor-related threads all the time is triggering and I'm trying to keep my mind busy on other things. It's actually a pretty useful tactic, but sure, go ahead and just judge me and sum me up without knowing a damn thing about me.

 

Wow, the mod in question literally liked one of these posts I made about not all mods being bad, as if I. Ould possibly be talking about him. What passive aggressive bullshit. I'm totally done.

Everyone have a nice life and a Merry Christmas.

 

Sorry, I didn't see that you said you took multiple breaks from the site previously, I'm sorry for being repetitive in my suggestion to take a break. If you really do leave, I wish you all the best.

 

Amen, she doesnt put up with anybody's crap lol
