Overly politically correct admins.


What I mean by this is basically just admins who are so desperate to cater to everybody that they will happily ban people for pointing out their rightful faults. For example, I was banned from jplegacy for mentioning creationists on a "bad science" thread.

I'm not slow! That's just my moe!

I've had issues where every time you bump something (because sometimes its needed to make things visible) the mods will jump to throw the hammer at you for "post farming" :roll:

My face when looking for something funny and Doctor Who related to post on the pictures topic and every single picture is David Tennant looking vaguely attractive or doing something non-Doctorish:

Seriously, fifty years of a show and all anyone seems to remember or like is it's worst seasons, half the time just because 'Oh David Tennant's so dreamy'

Just my opinion but still

What annoys me most? The fact that life can't just be simple and white and black (as in there is just two simple options to choose from, good or bad and no "gray" to make things complicated).

When I say this I mean like we know how to solve world hunger and the energy crisis, and we could make cures for alot of things, but there would be no money in that, so it won't happen.

What I mean by this is basically just admins who are so desperate to cater to everybody that they will happily ban people for pointing out their rightful faults. For example, I was banned from jplegacy for mentioning creationists on a "bad science" thread.
And now apparently I was banned from the dinotoyforum for not wanting to change the title of a thread... even though the title was "the hate on modern reconstructions of extinct animals thread", which was exclusively created to discuss a person who openly said he hated modern reconstructions of extinct animals.


Again, political correctness gone mad, he literally said what I had put in the title, yet it was viewed as overly aggressive, despite being more or less a quote. I am tired of people, and by that I mean moderators and admins, being so soft on people who do not deserve it. No, calling out creationists is NOT a bannable offensive, they deserve bloody calling out, or better yet, being banned just for being YEC's, not to be defended. In this case, I was actually banned because I apparently did not want to change the title of the topic, even though I actually called for it to be locked, specifically because it was too aggressive by the forums standards.

I don't know, people are to soft at those who really deserve harsher treatments, and when literally quoting somebody is viewed as aggressive, you know you have crossed the line.


Edit: Apparently, the mods wanted to prove my point. Seriously though, which part of it was wrong now? Calling out YEC's? Why are we still on this? "sigh", I stand by my point, but sure, I will stop talking about them outside of the private forums.

Please refrain from being disrespectful and undermining. If you would like to discuss why you were warned, feel free to use the Staff PM Box.

I think your getting banned multiple places because of your "I'm always right, and everything else that's said is gibberish and non-sense" attitude and not accepting anyone's beliefs but your own and therefore being offensive to everyone around you, that's getting you banned. Rather than "political correctness".

On the jplegacy forum, I know it was just because of mentioning YEC's, because the person who banned me said as much. On the dinotoyforum, I am not quite sure, as on all other forums, calling for a thread to be locked is responded with a "okay", not "you will be banned".

I can certainly see what some people may find annoying in what I said, but they were never the reasons cited for the bannings, so either the mods are lying, or it is not relevant.

Because a ban is not for just a singluar action, it is for multiple. Such as here, you get 5 warnings to full your bar, when you strike out a sixth time, you are no longer warned, you are then banned. The only way to remove the warnings is to correct the behavior you did to receive them, after a month or so, the meter will slowly tick back down. More or less.

So while the last reason they gave might be "Calling out YECs", the ban was likely because of your demeanor, not the one action or series of actions.
