Default I just got a 1 week ban for a post made a year ago.

I just got a 1 week ban from a post I made August 6th of 2022. I'm not joking.

Joke is on the moderator. I just forwarded the email to the executives at Internet Brands (Kohlberg Kravis Roberts LP) so that they are aware volunteer moderators are targeting individuals for bans.

How do bans help ad revenue? I'm fascinated to see how they feel about volunteers crushing the ad revenue.

What can that be OTHER THAN targeting?!

I do volunteer work for IB on another website. Trust me when I tell you they don't care. They deal with likely millions of posts every day through their network, they won't care that Chemdawg banned you for any reason. At least that's been my experience.

They are $12 billion worth, their income is astronomical; one dude has no impact.

The best you can do is to follow the ApexOversteer style.

Correct - I sent a complaint to Internet Brands a month or so ago, I'm not holding my breath for a response.

My bet was that Cumdawg wasn't the all-empowered moderator back then. He had to wait until recently to go back and comb over old posts to ban specific people for. Think of the time he must spend on that stuff. Amazing. And quite pathetic, as well.

Who reviews posts from August 2022 during Oct. 2023?!

Then bans somebody because "they posted about Work from home policies in the general forum - but it should be posted in political forum".

How is work from home a political topic?!

He sounds like he is out of his mind.

Could you imagine how insane somebody has to be to scroll through year old posts looking for something, anything to try to give somebody an Internet infraction?!

So, they're banning people for posting stuff in the wrong forums now?

They are finding reasons to ban someone in the past. Kinda like the Kavanaugh thing.
