There is a difference between a post that says "I feel you have personally attacked me with your comment and that is against forum rules" and "**** off and die you piece of shit". I am not good at posting the first statement, when I mean the second one. You don't have that challenge. |

As you may recall, my brand requires volume, and I got “run off” from this forum back last year from this “self moderation” you speak of. So, given the fact that I need a social media outlet that fits my needs, I am more than glad to work within their rules because of what I get in return. |

Like I said, it’s very easy to avoid vacations over there, you just have to know when to bite your tongue. |

You got me curious, 493 posts since August of this year, is that frequent enough for you?

At first I would fight the punishments and often times the head mod would intervene and remove the points, but then as I got more and more "spankings" from not only the 'Dog, but a couple of other new mods who would tag team in an effort to pile on. 'Wave eventually supported "his guys" and longer and longer bans would ensue for some of the most ridiculous reasons. Most of the times my "crimes" did not fit the punishments, but it continued. I recall one warning/post removal was for "excessive bumping"... excessive bumping? I started the thread and made comments to others as they posted. As the thread starter, it was reasonable to respond as the thread's host, but JC didn't think so. That is just one of many examples of things I was highlighted for. When I was given the Perm-a-ban, I was given my own personal set of bad boy statistics as cause for the warnings/points/bans. I realized then it was a numbers game at that point and if a mod wants to get you banned, just start piling on infractions and the numbers will be noted... no matter how frivolous or legit. I'm not perfect and there were times when I made it more personal... like the way it used to be when the PRC was like the wild west and those who were there know what I'm talking about. But as I had to learn to scale it back, I literally could not post without some mod making a connection to a rule infraction... no matter how far they had to stretch it to make it fit. I was eventually banned for life and then a few months later unbanned for life... with a caveat, I could not post in PRC (or now PC), at least for the time being. I am actually enjoying not to see a private message in the little bell at the top of the page on an almost daily basis. |

You experienced very little resistance when it was a free-for-all And after the shift in moderation you experienced issues And don’t get me wrong, I’ve tangled more than a few times over there in the last year with moderators, but we hashed it out on PM and reached common ground, while even having one mod who gave me a few infractions “go to bat” for me publicly fairly recently. |

In my case, I think it wasn't a change of direction in moderation, but who the mod was and my previous relationship with him. I got to give him credit though, he outfoxed me by getting the mod gig and suddenly I was at an obvious disadvantage.

The imbalance comes from the result of TWO people slugging it out and ONE being sent away. Both are being UNcivil and operating outside the ridiculously impossible to interpret, rules, but only one person gets gone. You were not run off. You were "group moderated". If you were genuinely run off from here, the post I quoted would not exist. |

And it's easy to avoid a vacay at CF if you kiss the mods' asses. Take complaints to pm like they demand and the the hypocrites still get their panties wadded and issue points (oh...points), infractions, and bans for just about anything they make up. Cumdawg and Bloatwave are the worst of them. |

Pretty easy for me to just not go there any longer and seems it would be better to work towards making this place what we enjoyed there? From my perspective that means we need more liberals, (or not?). I have noticed an improvement in my attitude since I stopped visiting there.
That people don't easily change their beliefs regardless of evidence, is probably the greatest Truth I learned over there. Consequences are a different story. “We can ignore reality, but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.” ― Ayn Rand |

The best approach. Those 'new' mods have taken the air out of any discussion which might be construed as being even the least bit controversial. |
