So far we have:
No attacks on family members.
No gibberish. (Or, does this only apply to spank?)
No "minstrel."
No pissing off Elliot or kerowo.
What am I missing? (Are some of these rules simply subsets of "no pissing off mister master sir"?)

Not to mention these so-called "site-wide rules" are selectively enforced.

These pathetically sensitive moderators should be replaced, IMO.

Spoiler:

Apparently "being an awful person" should go onto the list, too. [Regarding TooRareToDie.] I sincerely doubt kerowo is a competent judge of character, though.

How many more unspoken, arbitrary rules are you going to implement, kerowo?

Ever think that maybe -- just maybe! -- spank was right? (*GASP!* )

Apparently possessing -- and utilizing -- a large vocabulary is a bannable offense, now. Is using baby words a new rule, kerowo?

Let's assume the opposite: spanklish misuse of the English language. Must we all type grammatically correctly from this point forward?

Or, were you just selectively enforcing exaggerated infractions against a user you disliked? (DING DING DING!!! I think we have a winnar!)

Your rulings are incredibly arbitrary, just the way you like it.

Spoiler:



Let me guess: SycophantKeed is exempt from your harassment.

Spoiler:
Thanks for giving me such an immediate example, Senor!

Watching you squirm away from shouldering the blame is rather amusing. (You even pulled the racist card during your wriggling!)

[unSPOIL]The joke is really on us, though, because ultimately you will face zero repercussions for your actions. You aren't that sly; Sklansky and the other administrators just care that little.

Even knowing about this post:

He still decided to appoint you to your current position.


When did the bolded no longer remain "wrong" kerowo? When you were finally appointed moderator of this sub-forum? Luckily for you, the "hand wringing" is still just as trivial.[/unSPOIL]
tl;dr -- Keep wringing dem hands, kerowo!
Even though you've undone some of your excessive moderation -- commuting DiB's sentence and reducing spank's ban to a (presumed) exile -- you continue to withhold admissions of misconduct. Instead, you repeatedly opt to blame the victims of your abuse:

Elliot got so pissed at John about it he didn't give him a chance to shut up before banning him. Dib did the same with me. If we act the same way against posters who aren't awful that would be concerning but I don't have a problem throttling either John or Dib who have a hard time adding anything worth reading to PU.
"It's THEIR fault because THEY are bad people!"

Your hostile moderation certainly isn't helping this place. In fact, you are rubbing off on Elliot; and not in a positive, sexually gratifying way, either!

No one has time for you wall of quote ****. Why don't you try actually typing up your top 3 and I'll answer them.

1. Will you please clarify the rules?

2. Why have you consistently avoided clarification of the rules in the past?

3. Other than creating a "safe space" for your sycophants, why do you selectively enforce those aforementioned rules? (Alternatively, should I expect to see DiB or LetsGambool banned for a week the next time they tell me to "Pay 'dem' taxes!"?)

Trying to explain things to you seems like a fruitless exercise until you become sufficiently capable of understanding that "no minstrel talk" is a subset of "no racism".

It's possible that you get off on feeling mistreated and you are trying to get kerowo to act in a way that facilitates your masturbatory online habits with your provocative behavior.

One point of contention is about what constitutes "minstrel." kerowo is incapable of impartially making such distinctions because he allows his emotions to influence his moderating.

What rule did spank violate? It wasn't spam, or SenorKeed would have at least garnered a warning when he facetiously and purposefully committed the same infraction hours later in this very thread.

DudeImBetter was remorselessly banned simply for irritating kerowo. (Despite kerowo generally encouraging trollery himself!)

Have the rules essentially been boiled down to, "Don't piss off the moderators"? If so, mandatory sycophancy is right around the corner!

These are my favorite types of modding complaints.

I haven't ever needed to ask myself "Is this minstrel speak or not?", and I've spent a fair amount of time of posting on here.

The only reason you want to know is so that you can purposefully go right up to the line but not over it. But you're not 8. So grow the **** up. And if you can't grow up and want to act like a little kid and see just how racist you can get - you'll probably get banned. Because mods aren't obligated to treat you like they would a kid.

Up until one, petty, spiteful moderator started banning me, citing "minstrel" as an excuse, neither did I.

My only expectation of moderators is that they treat everyone equally. Apparently, that's too much to ask in UnChained.

Spoiler:
If I truly wanted to "go right up to the line but not over it," I would have used "niggling" as a substitute for "petty" in my initial sentence. There's nothing racist about it, unless you're a liberal living in a safe-space, can only read 4 letters maximum per word, and detest clicking on external links.

If kerowo bans me over the comment above, it further proves his incompetence. He would do ANYTHING to avoid answering a few little questions, though!

I don't think I have. You hate me because I point out how stupid you are for being an ACist so nothing I do is ever going to satisfy you. We keep the rules simple to avoid these tedious conversations about them.

I almost banned you there for the lols. Every poster is different and is going to interpret their posts differently. You are the only poster who didn't understand exactly why you are getting banned. JJ's post above is dead on.

Proph I've never given a **** about what you thought of me, your posts on anarchy show you to be a selfish self absorbed dick who thinks he's clever. I don't care if you think the rules are ambiguous and unevenly enforced. Until they replace me as mod they are what they are.

It is fairly easy for a normal person to predict whether or not kerowo will believe that a given post contains minstrelsy language.

The only thing that might confuse him is if you are the Jar Jar Binks of Unchained.

1. In other words: "No, I will not clarify!" The rules are subject to your arbitrary opinion.

2. You have, because you just did. If the rules were so simple, you wouldn't have to elaborate very much. (As it stands you haven't clarified AT ALL. I don't hate you, by the way. Pity, perhaps, because you're still trapped inside the box, but nothing resembling "hate.")

3. The rules were never clarified regarding spank, either. JJ obviously hasn't been a victim of your vindictiveness.

Should we have moderators that ban other users "for the lols"? (IMO, no. But Sklansky and his associates apparently disagree!)

Spoiler:
Your recent spate of bannings show your "selfish self absorbed dick who thinks he's clever" side.

It seems you're arguing for your own, imminent loss of moderation privileges. (If any administrators still read this section of the forums, which I personally doubt, given your extended stay.)
12-25-2015 , 12:39 PM
Proph, you don't need to worry about any posters in PU but you. You decided to use racist tropes as insults and took it too far. You were asked not to use them anymore and decided, what the hell, I'll do it anyway and were banned for it. What part of that is unclear?

Persuading others to feel alone and helpless is a tyrant's desire.

I don't appreciate your false accusations of racism, and the more you continue the more you prove you are unfit to hold your current position.

Maybe Sklansky will visit this section of the forums within the next few months. Complaints about your excessive, unnecessary moderating will probably still be prominently displayed in this thread. (But, he probably doesn't care anyway as long as users stay away from his inbox!)

Merry Christmas, pee-bib!

You should learn to read better. People only think you're racist because you used minstrel language to insult people. There were complaints and you've been asked to stop using it. It also doesn't help that you are in favor of repealing the civil rights amendment, that's totally not racist.

Perhaps you should avoid nuanced subjects that perpetually confound you, kerowo.

At the very least, keep your misguided insults to yourself.

Spoiler:
My pleas and suggestions are likely falling upon deaf ears, blind eyes, and vacant minds though.
