Well please explain that to Pewter, Grumpy & JMG2 as they didn't get the memo.

I'll say this one more time as well, in MOST cases I deserved what I got, my guess many here did as well.

I got my ban for asking savewave why he hired a known racist to be a mod in PR&C. Then he banned me after telling me the burden of proof was on me and I replied that he was too ****ing lazy to do his own job. That's when I got the ban.

Did I deserve the ban for that? I took it to PM like the rules stated.

Got to say this place is feeling more like PRC at its top. Getting more interesting conversations and points of view as well as a few sketchy individuals like slewfoot & Taurus.

Feels like CF is banning its way to irrelevance.

They lost their way once the new mods came in and started hacking away at everything.Still can get lots of info there but quit engaging into threads as i've been edited or posts outright disappear.
But i'm sure IB goal is that section dies by a thousand little cuts.

Does the corp get income for clicks in PRC? Seems they could just shut it down otherwise?

If they did, then the content would just move to OT, and the mods would have to work overtime. Maybe they will shoot themselves in the foot.... I doubt it, but that would be funny as hell!

Getting to be a lot like PRC because even here you are judging members as being sketchy because they don't say what you want.

Let me see, you accused one mod of being a racist and told the head guy he's ****ing lazy and still got banned. Go figure.

That was the short version of it. 15+ years worth of this dude's posting, even after being called out god knows how many times for blatant racism with proof) and nothing had changed except the date and the title of the threads.

You'd think and admin would want to check on that jsut to cover his own ass, too.

I've been there more than 15 years as well and known CD for many of those years and never saw any signs of racism. He has opinions like anyone else but simply not agreeing is not racism. Are you accusing him of abusing his mod position based on being a racist? I'm an old white guy who has been sanctioned by CD more than a few times and I never felt it was due to racism.

CD was a flawed poster before he became a mod.He would be my last choice in being a mod in PRC.Don't know what they were thinking in picking him.
Not everyone who is a mod should be one,that includes here...Thunderdome.

I'm accusing him of exactly that, and nobody over there can prove me wrong, either.

It's o.k. to have an opinion, but when every thread or reply to him resorted to it always being about race, well... you know where I'm going with this.

You're saying he sanctioned you based on his race compared to yours, I'm finding that pretty hard to believe.

You wrote that you’d had threads closed in PR&C and I asked for some real world examples that you declined to provide. By definition, that makes you sketchy.

sketchy adjective


\ ˈske-chē \
sketchier; sketchiest
Definition of sketchy

1 : of the nature of a sketch : roughly outlined

2 : wanting in completeness, clearness, or substance : SLIGHT, SUPERFICIAL
the details are sketchy


3 : QUESTIONABLE, IFFY
got into a sketchy situation
a sketchy character
