I'd like to speak to the manager

I disagree and the context for that one post that you single out is that he had been posting multiple with arguments and it is a fact that scorp does repeat the same thing even after being corrected numerous times. Still, that doesn't even bother me, but again I find anything beyond a week suspension to cool down is beyond overkill. That's my main gripe.



Many arguments and supports are on page 169 if you are interested. He stated things that are not disputable, yet they still are stated, and ad nauseum (like Ponzi). Creating money out of thin air is immoral. We know who does it and why. This isn't a debate, and for our site, it shouldn't be ignored; it's basic knowledge what's going on. Let me guess, all of these guys care so much about the real economy and middle class they led us down this road of debt, usury, printing, bailing out of friends after real speculation/gambling, socializing losses. Come on now, this is just silly to not recognize or admit. But I'll leave it at that (here) - you're free to go to that thread and post of course.

I'm really not interested I didn't know we were even talking about bitcoin I thought we were talking moderation and member conduct. I concede any discussion on bitcoin to you, I fully and freely admit I don't know anywhere close to as much about it as you do. It's a speculation investment to me that's and I've done well buying and selling it, I don't have anywhere near the knowledge on it that you do or even most others in that thread.

But brother from that reply it sounds more like you have an issue with scorpion not having the same view as you on bitcoin, not necessarily his moderation.

Purpleurkel a long time heavily contributing Christian member just picked up a ban for calling out a bunch of guys who contribute nothing. A random no info member calling a moderator pathetic and an Israel shill on top of everything else is in a different realm don't you think? You don't think you're just maybe a little bias here on this one because it involves bitcoin?

For the third time I have an issue with suspending others in the first place, then in the second place for totally unreasonable time lengths. That is the moderation problem, because it's biased. How could I have the issue? I didn't do the suspending, but I also have been suspended before for disagreeing, and it's not right, it's punishment for disagreeing. If you ask one more time about this it shows me you basically can't read or comprehend a pretty obvious bias, which isn't mine.

Pro tip: when a moderator clearly and unequivocally asks you to stop your drunken shitposting, don't turn around and immediately make another drunken shitpost and then also insult him.

Very easy to avoid having your account suspended with this one simple trick.

No further comment. You and the others know my assessment.

Magoo correctly made the point before that its a conflict of interest when a moderator participates in a thread and then suspends their opponent in the thread.

It would be like a basketball match when the captain of one team is also the referee. Since you are heavily participating in the Bitcoin thread you should let other moderators who do not participate (or participate minimally) in thread deal with moderating the thread.

99% of my posts in that thread are interacting with you, chance vought and Blade Runner. And I've never suspended any of you for posts made in the crypto thread, despite our long-standing debates, which have occasionally become heated.

I was not even interacting with jayco in the lead up to his suspension. He was hardly my "opponent". He just started spamming the thread with low-quality posts, and when asked to stop he repeated the behavior and became belligerent.

The moderation team already has guidelines in place to prevent conflicts of interest and bias in regard to punishment of members who have been debating with a moderator. But as anyone can clearly see for themselves by reviewing jayco's recent posts on the crypto thread, that situation did not apply in this case.
