I Am On My Final Warning.
0 2018-01-30 by IAMN30
Apparently I must be very careful from now on when conversing with users on this website.
Recently I received a warning for a comment that included the word "shill"
It was removed for a Rule 10 violation.
I am not complaining, and I do see how saying that someone sounds like a shill can be construed as an "attack" so, I suppose the mod was right to moderate such a comment.
HOWEVER.
And this is a big however.
In almost every post I make, there are MANY MANY comments accusing ME of being a shill, or paid to be here, or just viciously attacked in general!
Now, I am not posting this to whine and get those users in trouble, but I DO expect to be judged in the same manner they are.
If I cannot even allude to someone having ulterior motives other than honest discussion on this website, why are other users allowed to constantly accuse me of the same thing?
Not only that, but some very nasty comments that are just plain attacking me do not get removed.
Again, I am not complaining, and I can deal with nasty comments.
But I will not sit there and get punched in the face and then told by the referee that I am cheating the if I punch back.
Thats not right.
Thats basically the point of this post.
Just to keep people aware of whats going on.

When you are accused of being a shill, report it. I get accused all the time and don't really care anymore, but if you don't report it, we can't do anytjing about it. And maybe we don't ban users off the bat, but we add notes to their account. And after finding a pattern of abuse, we escalate.

I'd be interested in seeing these "notes".
1 mastigia 2018-01-30
They are mod notes, it is a function of RES, but you can watch us writing them in the public mod log. There isn't much to it. Just notes of rule violations and warnings.

I wonder what my notes say. Probably something like Nazi, National Socialist...
1 mastigia 2018-01-30
You just have a rule 10 warning from like 2 years ago.
1 grndzro4645 2018-01-30
Yea, I think I remember that one. I was pretty vitriolic.

There it is. I have seen a lot worse man.
1 grndzro4645 2018-01-30
Lol That was the one. God I done a lot worse in my WW2 rants.
1 mastigia 2018-01-30
Heh, a lot of times it depends on the state of the board. Like right now, our patience are kinda thin, that was probably the situation back then too.
1 grndzro4645 2018-01-30
It was because I was trying to help people with anti cancer nutrition. The mod likened my efforts to attempted murder even though I beat down my own tumors with it 4 going on 5 years now.

Can you do me next! What do my notes say? Also can you see other mod notes? I got banned a sub for following a different sub, can’t remember now but thought that was strange. Do you guys have like live updates on who follows other sites? Like an activity log for us?
1 mastigia 2018-01-30
You got rule 12 1st warning a few months ago. I can only see the notes on our sub, couldn't even tell ya if other subs use them, although I am sure they must.
1 OhHolyOpals 2018-01-30
Thanks!

Can you link some of the attacks you say aren't being removed when directed at you?
And this

Isn't an allusion.
Rule 10 isn't hard to follow.
1 IAMN30 2018-01-30
Yeah, I admit to calling people out as posting for money.
It is fact.
But why can they accuse me of such, and not the other way around?
I would rather not link specific comments for fear of being banned.

I saw in the other thread a mod removed a comment for breaking rule 10.
I think your problem is you post quite controversial ideas so you are likely to receive more push back.
Just report any offending comments, the mods will look after you.
And try not to call people shills, it's the weakest reply and indicates you're probably losing the debate.
1 IAMN30 2018-01-30
Although in most cases you are correct that claiming another debater is a shill claim is a poor response, I must say that when users repeatedly ignore arguments in favor of responding with their own rhetoric over and over and over, you just have to wonder...
1 UnbearablePenguin 2018-01-30
If you have comments calling you a shill, why would you be banned for that? Wouldn't that be the user that calls you that.
1 Cptn_Canada 2018-01-30
How about nobody calls anybody a shill.
1 IAMN30 2018-01-30
I can agree with that.
1 IamA-GoldenGod 2018-01-30
Get outta here ya shill! /s
1 Smiley_Iris 2018-01-30
Damn, you still got downvoted.
1 IamA-GoldenGod 2018-01-30
Ironic
1 BayAreaFlyer 2018-01-30
It's either that or be called a russian bot. It's so ridiculous all it's doing is hurting their cause in the long run.
1 Dhylan 2018-01-30
Don't comment on others here - instead, focus on the ideas in the comments and the techniques which others use in making their comments here. Many comments have no content, really; ignore those.
For example, don't call someone an idiot. Instead write that that their comment 'seems idiotic'. Talk to the ideas and style - don't talk to the person writing the comment. Some people just write a few words to vent; such comments don't even merit a response.
Lastly, you can block people who write shit to you. Do it as much as necessary, without hesitation.

I waiting for you to start selling your drawings man. Like your posts though.
1 ogrelin 2018-01-30
When someone accuses you, report them. I’ve been unable to since I’m mostly on mobile and the report functionality seems to be broken for this sub in the official app.
1 hoonigan_4wd 2018-01-30
dude, its reddit.
is this like the biggest concern of your day to day life?
1 DagothNereviar 2018-01-30
No one accuses you of being a shill.
We just accuse you of being stupid.
1 IAMN30 2018-01-30
That is a very broad absolute statement that is unfounded and false.
1 DagothNereviar 2018-01-30
I agree I should have said "Most", but the latter half of my statement stands.
1 TheRisenOsiris 2018-01-30
Whatever man, I think you're cool. At the very least: interesting.
1 FlooferzMcPooferz 2018-01-30
This comic might explain some of the behaviour Just Listen . I get what mean man i get what you mean
1 giants888 2018-01-30
You couldn’t possibly be a shill. No one would want someone so retarded shilling for them.
