I had a feeling that when this thread was created that it would eventually end up here. Iâm not sure if itâs a sixth sense kind of thing or whatâs going on with these predictive powers. Itâs just a feeling I get when I see a topic critical of the Trump administration. Itâs almost the same thing as what is alleged to have happened to Napolitano. He was too critical of Trump so he had to be silenced. His show got fever dreamed.
Ok, after we get done here, Iâll put the OP back into politics and you can start over.
Creating your own narrative about moderation said or didnât say is not going to work for you and it certainly doesnât work for us.
Nobody ever said you canât âcompare and contrastâ or that âwhataboutismâ is not allowed. That is hogwash.
Read this again:
Another trend has been observed. Trolling every thread into oblivion. If such activities continue, they wonât for long. You know who you are. If you donât have anything constructive to add to the discussion, find another discussion to engage.
There is a difference between âcomparing and contrastingâ and intentionally changing the entire topic of the thread.
And the difference is readily apparent to any one observing the thread.
And when it happens, yes, all the posts are subject to removal.
Compare and contrast and whataboutism are not prohibited. Trolling is. If the comparison is relevant, it is relevant. And quite a bit of leeway is given.
And then here comes a mob and the trolling begins. Thatâs when it gets stopped. Right now this thread was fine. Then @sikofit wanted to call me into it and use me as a weapon. Thatâs not going to work. Itâs an insult.
What could have changed it from fine?
If 5 of @zantax friends came into the thread and made it all about Obama or Holder. Did that happen? No. Not yet, anyway. If it does, the same thing will happen to anybody.
Stop with the childish innuendo about moderation.
Look at the posts just since I moved the thread.
If you donât want your posts in Fever Dreams, donât troll.
I already told you. What is being allowed and not allowed is not consistent and appears based on idealogy. Its okay though I know where I am, I just wish someone would finally acknowledge that there are 2 sets of rules
I understand why you feel it âappearsâ, you are wrong.
Case in point
Trumpâs Sister Speaks
What forum is it in?
356 posts. What forum is it in?

There are not two sets of rules.
Good example of the trolling Iâm talking about from yesterday.
16 posts, pretty much in a row including you, demanding âLINK!â. Pure trolling. Had it happened in @tnt thread, they all end up in Fever Dreams for trying to troll into oblivion.
There is NO requirement for a link in an OP. There are some minimal requirements if you use a link in an OP.
So whereâs the 2 sets of rules? Are there conservative posts in the Slop thread?
What posts have been moved or removed from that thread? Name one.
I sent one PM to one person to edit for one meme because the meme violated a rule. They did. There is a meme in that thread that I personally find offensive as hell, itâs still there.
What triggers somebody has nothing to do with moderation or the topic at hand.
Those last two you just posted in the meme thread; religion and family. Were there warnings issued about both? Yes. Are they still there? Yes.
Who is getting the benefit of the doubt? You. If there are 2 sets of rules, you are obviously in the better set. And here you are accusing.
Why did you change the topic of our conversation to the meme thread? We, as a group, decided to allow some leeway in there. One thread. To everybody. Not just him or her. And you personally are a beneficiary of that decision. Yet you accuse.
There is one set of rules for everybody. All the âcleverâ little back-handed innuendo to the contrary in the world doesnât change that.
If you have a problem with the application of those rules, you have two avenues with which to address it; here or PM. Like adults. Iâll stay in here all day long if thatâs what it takes.
What I have zero tolerance for is mealey-mouthed accusations regarding the integrity of the staff slung out in discussion threads to prove how âcleverâ we are.
