Most of us were mods at old PF.

Which I think is pretty reasonable considering the mods do this for free. (Right?).

I think he's calling you a damn Nazi.

Which makes no sense so im assuming an actual criticism or joke has gone over my thick but handsome skull.

Me, more like. :monkey: Bedtime for Goebbels anyhow. Gute Nacht.

He wouldn't hurt anybody's feelings like that. He's nice to everyone. :razz:

Ok? There's a trash can in the place I dwell, somewhere. I think. I don't shove my head into it and jam my arms into it and be like "oh this is gross let me complain about it to other people." I mean really.

Banned @Bruno Campello. @BrunoCampello, for sockpuppeting and advertising.

Like Heidegger, you mean? (The response which should be made whenever one is accused of being a Nazi in a philosophy forum--copyright Ciceronianus the White, 2020).

:lol: :up:

That thread was erased? Ok.

Yes. The guy keeps using sockpuppets to copy paste verbatim from his blog. The blog content is far right (we're talking creative euphemisms for a Jewish conspiracy far right), as if sockpuppeting and advertising weren't enough. He's also posted some of that far right content before.

Banned @Avery, @JC Dollar-Bruh and @JJGates for sockpuppeting.

Frank Apisa and 3017amen seem like trolls who not only contribute nothing but also derail/flood/pollute discussion. I dont use the term troll lightly here, its clear they are here to wind people up and entertain themselves at the expense of others.
Are they on mod radar at all?

This thread is exclusively for discussing executed bans not potential bans. It's fine to officially complain about whoever you want, but please do it by PM or on a separate feedback thread if you really think that's necessary.

I banned @Asif for unmitigated low quality.

Saw that one coming.

I should have seen this before I replied to him. I would like to have seen him squirming, although, I expect he would have just adopted the usual evasion and trolling tactics. Equally he will read my post, but be unable to reply, how frustrated he will be.

Yeah he was annoying.

I don't expect much from a site that has streetlightx as a forum mod but banning Asif for "low quality" is quite amusing. I wonder what he said that got him banned?

Really?

To be fair after sampling a few of his posts I get the impression that English is not his first language. Though snarkiness may be. Which is a tad worrisome as I occasionally am, in good spirits mind you yet intent is always open to interpretation. Yipe!

Can someone quote something from Asif that had any sort of philosophical thinking going on?

I think, but could be wrong, that that's part of what counts as "low quality". Street is at least capable.

If you have cause to complain about staff members then have the decency to complain directly to me by PM or in a feedback thread, instead of griping and disparaging the forum as a whole.

By the way, everyone is free to examine the posting history of banned members.

Funny how people always think that people they agree with are good posters.

This is definitely a thing. But personally speaking I can appreciate quality posts that I don't agree with. For example, I think you're a good contributor despite being full of shit.

There is a procedure for complaining about forum moderators but Asif gets banned because of "low quality" without any breach of rules being cited or anything? Obviously, each of us might ban different users for "low quality". I can name posters I think are "low quality" and look up their history to confirm my feelings but I am asking specifically what rule was broken or why he was banned.

If we want to look at his latest post history, I am of the view that the wrongdoers in most of those conversations actually aren't Asif.

Here they are:

Personal attacks, repetition, poor grammar, weird obsession with descriptions, and no philosophical content.

What Banno said (thanks, I was too lazy to break it down myself).

On second thought, I have reconsidered my position on this, I apologise for giving you grief.
