Dispute with mod

Mr spam artist himself ofc has to have his say.

Warned: Offtopic, attacking the poster

m.

you’re making the point of mine thank you.

Sorry but how childish and immature is this

It's basically the equivalent of a child saying I know you are but what am I

Seems like some additional clarification is required on;

1, what the bounds of civility are.

2, when posting a link is considered a link dump and when it isn't.

Clarification of these issues would seem to be a course to less moderator action being required going forward. That's a win for users and moderators.

Solutions are achievable, often without much effort being required it would seem.

Bullied?

His initial contribution was to guffaw at the OP even opening this thread, he went on to be openly insulting and abusive to the OP and others.

His "solution" was to opine that the OP change their posting style rather than consider the position being put forward by the OP.

There's clearly room for improvement on communication of some parameters in CA which isn't a massive ask and would reduce the number of reported posts and bans handed out, ie a smoother running forum.

Just because some rules changes were recently implemented doesn't mean that there aren't issues to be addressed any more.

People should be entitled to express their opinions without being piled on by trolls who have nothing constructive to offer in response.

idk if it’s targeting but I believe it’s trying to use revisionist reasoning to prevent the glaring problem with the new system: if they start reversing bans by admitting a mistake occurred, then the new system is broken because bans are once again able to be disputed.

I had a very similar issue with the same Mod. He accused me of calling someone a re-reg and when I respectfully pointed out that the poster he was referring to only made their first post 2 hours after my comment so it was impossible then it became a case of " being uncivil" when I pointed out again that that wasn't possible because the poster hadn't yet joined Boards it became a case of I was trying to Dox someone by comparing posting styles on 2 anonymous forums.

Boards is dying and as someone who was here posting from 2005 I have to say "good enough for them". There has been numerous complaints about @Beasty and the switching goalposts modding style. We all like to be right but he makes a crusade out of it. It is about time the people in charge listened.

he hasn’t always responded to all of mine but he does respond to a lot of them.

How far the bar has fallen.

I'm confused with the new rule stating . In response to multiple claims that the moderation in CA is too strict, we are going to reduce moderation to a more hands off level.

I know for a fact this is not the case, posting here for 17 years .. never had a ban and now in w weeks a warning and a ban, warning for telling a Trump supporter he was as smart as the guy he was supporting which should be a compliment to the poster.. this was deemed uncivil, when i pointed out it was more sarcastic it was implied sarcasm was against the rules as well ..... and got banned for saying the Republican party was retarded, keeping in mind the presidential candidate from that party called his opponent retarded.

To me this does not reflect a more hands off moderating style.

Can I suggest the mods remove IMHO from the forum .... with these new rules ones honest opinion could get you banned

....

In this instance, I seemed to be warned for responding to someone who stated they didn't take my opinion seriously. Seems kind of harsh and undeserving.

In this case I got a ban for saying how silly it was for someone to accuse me of hate speech because I said Kamala Harris was a woman of colour. Perhaps my *** off at the end may have warranted a warning.

This was rather tame and resulted in a further sanction

A 3 day ban for this? When considering how tame the previous sanctions were, I can't see how noting that someone was condescending to me (which they were) is uncivil.

Here, someone made a very overtly misogynistic comment about me. Which I reported. Yes perhaps I wasn't very nice about it, but nowhere near uncivil. No idea if he was santioned.

And for clarity, I was saying to ronjo that Trump was being racist and stupid. It wasn't an attack on ronjo.

These posts were all in the space of one day, in a quite heated but interesting thread. If common sense was applied, MAYBE one of those posts deserved a warning.

However ALL these posts were AGES before I received my 1st warning. This meant that no warning was ignored and I had no chance to accept a sanction and tone down my posting style. And because others were posting towards me in a similar style, I didn't feel that I was being uncivil.

There are moderators (which I have reported) in those threads who are purposely inflaming others to respond in a heated manner which gets the thread shut or the posters they disagree with banned.

I got a warning off Beasty for a "link dump" of a snl skit of kamala harris yet other post meme and **** all day long as long as its anti trump "link dumps" are fine. He is modding based on his political leaning.

That's BS.

I also got a warning for a "link dump".

Beasty doesn't mod on their political leanings, they're just sick of modding and it's very, very obvious. They probably feel some sense of duty to the site as without mods, it dies. I was a mod here from 2001 until the site swung from the nice place it used to be as modding got less strict.

Now, I don't know wtf it is.
