well, to be fair, it would be nice if those appeals actually ever worked. I've heard rumors that sometimes they do, but I've never had that work. Of course, I VPN so who knows what my post history looks like
I think I know who it is. If I see them around, I'll ask them about it.
like gangstalking shit? I'm telling you that's happened to me, too, but you can't tell anyone or they'll call you schizo. Its not fun at all - super-creepy
I agree with this user about the wordfiltering. Wordfilters can be a funny prank the mods play on users, but generally speaking they shouldn't last for more than a few weeks. After that, they can really stifle communication. Some of the wordfilters are okay, especially if its wordfiltering common spam, but I, too, question why 3thnicnation4lism is wordfiltered to CivNat. We used to tease Zig Forums and say that they had so many wordfilters because their arguments suck so much and their mods have so little respect for them. We can't very well fuck with them for that, now.
user is also right about bans length not equating to the severity of the infraction. For awhile there, everything was a 4wk ban, no matter what you did. And, permab&s should be saved for only the most absurd of infractions. I know shills can suck, but remember they're often using the same VPNs that perfectly legitimate users use. and given the fact that the hack exposed that 8ch logs everyone's IPs and posts, if you don't use a VPN then lol newfag deserves it
I don't know anything about this kampfy, skeletor, heil reddit stuff, except that Heil used to almost never b& and then at some point he got super autistic. I'm not going to speculate about that, but just say it is weird. We used to relatively respect our mods, but now that's different. It makes those of us who have been around for years really feel like we're posting in foreign territory.
thanks again for popping in on the thread. It's good to have some interaction with moderation after polmeta being ignored and autistically spammed for so long
