As an upper/upper-middle class academic I've spent years making fun of liberals here amd arguing with people, while also spending time to write satirical posts, yet my only warning has been from chatting with a spam bot in a thread.

Yee, but you are part of the oppresive regime here, stalinist moderator!

 

[Úlfheðinn]

Only in regards to oppressing the other Scandinavians. The rest of you, as non-Scandinavians, aren't human so I don't concern myself with your antics.

Also haven't been a mod for most of my time here.

 

[Evelyn]

But you wouldn't make claims like that without knowing better, right?

You know Jacob's a board moderator, right? He can see that stuff.

 

[Bromden]

since all that matters is science

Yeah? I remember back when you thought and talked like a warrior. You devolved in front of our eyes. First you became a scientist, then an american...

 

[Úlfheðinn]

Just you wait, once I get tenure I'll become a Republican, and hire an army of illegal immigrants to maintain my house.

 

[BenKenobi]

There are right-wing people on this forum who you can have a civil debate with, and manage not to **** up every thread they're in by lashing out and whining about their alleged victimhood.

Although, to be entirely honest, it is not the right-wingers who send threads spiraling down and bait others into being muted.

Scandinavians, amirite?

I see you haven't been introduced to Mamlaz.

I apologize for derailing the thread, which was unintentional. But not for calling Temuzu a racist, which both he and I know is true.

That explains so much. Who decided he had the temperament to be a moderated when he himself had a mini-meltdown when I defended Trump

Absolutely this. It's sad that a single post from someone with right-wing beliefs can get 3 pages of "go back to /pol/!!!" replies. Sadly, when I point this out I'm "whining about their alleged victimhood."

Some jokers in the on-topic forum decided to give his mod a board. Little did they know it was just a ploy to be able to spy on other forumites.

Board moderators can't give warnings or really do anything actually moderationy other than lock threads and edit/delete posts in the section they're a moderator of. Because it carries the moderator flag, though, they can see the warning log. In any case, last I checked, this isn't the Sayazn board, so if you're paranoid about Jacob moderation stuff it's completely unjustified.

 

[Farquaad]

Whoops I meant *moderator

And thanks for clearing that up.

 

[Temuzu]

Of course, but I never realized that sub-board moderators had the ability to do that.

I still don't see where the "half of the warnings are from racism and /pol/ spamming" claim comes from.

Also, we should probably consider moving all these off-topic discussions elsewhere.

 

[pentagathus]

Serious question, why do all you folk bother replying to the various farquaads that turn up? I'm pretty sure there's even some form of ignore function on this forum.

 

[Farquaad]

various farquaads

 

[Antoine de Saint-Exupéry]

You thought you were the first?

 

[pentagathus]

People who rant about how left-wing the forum is and either provide no real argument or an argument so obviously flawed it's hard to believe they are not trolling.
You are certainly not the first. But every time people either respond at your level (insults and suchlike with no effort to genuinely debate) or they (ie Ulf) waste time offering a genuine reasoned discourse that is just ignored. Or possibly not actually understood, but probably just ignored. I don't get it.
Ninjad.

 

[Farquaad]

If I went on rants that Feragorn etc. have gone on in the past (I can seem to find his post, or any of my posts quoting it, how strange) I would without a doubt have been banned.

The claims are a far shot from "obviously flawed".

Thanks for continuing to mindlessly sprout your sh*t with a half-assed attempt at pretending to offer an outsider view though. The derailing is real.
