Recently I have been involved in the community, posting screen shots pertaining to certain thread topics, related things and some of my posts have been removed. I find it annoying that my posts are removed because of moderator's saying...

  • You don't look like this.
  • That isn't you.
  • You are lieing, this isn't yours.

Who the hell are you to decide that? You don't know me.

If the post is off topic and doesn't affiliate with anything in the thread, I understand the removal.
There is no reason for a mod to make hasty decisions based on nothing. If I want to express my opinion in a discussion thread, I should be allowed...whether it is negative or not. IT IS DISCUSSION!

I'm sure a lot of people will post here flaming and what not and I know nothing will be done.
I just felt that I should express my opinion about the moderation.

There have been times where I posted that I understand the removal, for example I posted before a picture of an extremely fat guy on "rl pictures" and it was removed for the reason, "that is not you."

But what evidence do you have to prove that?
Even if it isn't me, who are you to take action without factual reasoning?

I hope some people understand, I'm sure moderator's will be posting...I'm not here to argue.

Most Moderators today have a lot of work to do, so anything that looks like spam will be deleted..
I know it's annoying. But it's better than having a whole forum spread by spam..

Still doesn't explain their actions as I said in the first post.
To me, that is just an excuse.

If the moderator says that it isn't you, you can choose to prove the moderator wrong by proving that it is you, which it most likely is not. If you're not going to prove that it is you I see no point in complaining, because then moderator made the right decision and it just makes you look mad over it (post count decreased by 1?, hate some specific moderator? I don't know). I'm also not feeling like arguing against "you should delete every image without proof that it's the authors image then", so I'll answer that too: This will only happen when a moderator suspects that it isn't you, and if you can't accept that moderators have power in the community you should look for a forum without moderators.
 
I stand with what I said above. They don't know me, they shouldn't decide who I am or not by a picture.
 
How are they meant to prove it is them, unless they have a webcam/etc

Fuck that time for me to state my opinion before the thread is closed. Moderators are dicks, they post all useless shit aswell and we go against their words and call them out on their actions they delete all of the posts and warn/infract us. What kind of pussy shit is that? If you're wrong, you're wrong. Take responsibility for your actions and admit when you're wrong. Don't just be an asshole and delete the posts and infract people. That shows how immature you are and the lack of experience to handle a moderator position...

They might not know you, but they can suspect that it is not you (extremely fat people are not that common, and it might even have been a picture they have seen before on another website), there are many reasons to suspect something. If it really is you and the moderator made a mistake, then prove the moderator wrong instead of complaining with that it could have been you. If you prove the moderator wrong I understand your complaint, but right now you're just being childish by saying that it could have been you (or that it is you? I don't know but I haven't seen any proof).

Take another picture holding a paper with your username, for example.

When we prove a moderator wrong, 100% of the time they delete the damn posts and infract us(as I stated above). Moderators are too fucking stubborn to know when their wrong.

You must have never been to America, fat people are very common.
I'm sorry that taking part in the community by posting pictures, in a picture thread, is so childish.
I knew nothing would be done about this, I just know for a fact that you cannot decide who a person is or isn't if you don't know them.

This isn't even the only problem. I have posted my opinion in discussion threads and they have been deleted.
As far as I am concerned, the definition of discussion involves both negative and positive feedback.

I see on your language that you really deserve a banishment, you seriously need to calm down. Of course we take responsibility for being wrong, but first prove us wrong. If the moderators delete the post where you prove them wrong, you can send a private message to me or Kornholijo.

There is a difference between fat people and extremely fat people, and I'm not saying it is impossible that it is you, but if you're going to complain then first prove that it is you. Right now it doesn't even look like the moderator did something wrong. Nor did I say that it was childish to post pictures in a picture thread, what I meant is that it is childish to argue that it could have been you and that the moderator is wrong without first proving it.

We are aloud to fucking curse, as long as we aren't directing it towards anyone in an insult or any kind. You said it yourself.

You didn't get an infraction, it was just a warning. In my opinion, it's ok to swear as long as you don't offend anyone. The rules are a bit blurry right now, but they're being rewritten.

BINGO!!! YEAH I JUST PROVED YOU WRONG.
 
Wait..

Quoting one of your previous posts IN THIS THREAD:
>Moderators are dicks
 
I closed this because it has become off topic.
An argument has broken out between the admin and a user, this has nothing to do with my complaint.

Nothing was going to be done anyways, so thread closed.
