Bias in Politics Section, Temp Bans Bias in Politics Section, Temp Bans

I got temp banned in the politics section a few days ago after someone called me a name that got filtered out. I simply replied , "you seem angry." Ban. This was after being called a name and after my suicidal tendencies of last year were brought up for no reason at all. These people weren't banned yet I was. I think it's simply because I'm a conservative. Has anyone else experienced this bias?

You could try waiting longer than 2 hours to get a response.

You’ve got previous infractions and such, and as such the next step for you was a temp ban. The other offender had no previous infractions so received a warning, which is the first step.

You shouldn't be a mod Loki and maybe Wookie shouldn't be either. You don't do your job. I get temp-banned for being a dick to people whereas when those people are dicks to me they don't get banned. And that type of **** has gone on forever in there. You allowed people to cross certain lines in the Mason thread that shouldn't be allowed. You allow toxic behavior to go on so long as you agree with posters rather than do it without bias regardless whether it is trolling or sincere posts.

I love when people create new accounts for this stuff.

I didn't though, Crispen. And a lot of the right wing trolls deserve to be exiled for not trying to be productive posters. However, a lot of the posters are the same people who ganged up on Ikes and turned him into a bigger monster than he already was instead of just letting Ikes being Ikes and ignore him (which would have helped), and now have done the same thing with Keed or whoever says stuff they find ridiculous.

Politics is toxic because the way it is modded.

Despite finding Mason's views foolish in his thread, he still didn't deserve some of the more egregious insults slung at him. Basically you have a group who act just as bad as the people they dislike.

totally agree.

and to loki's point that the others received a warning, I never received a warning the first time I was temp banned and all I did was repeated the same name calling that another had done to me. the reason they gave for banning me? I didn't site a good reason for calling someone a name. lol. whereas, the other person who called me a name had good reason for doing so. crazy

Neither of them should be mods.

Thin skinned cry babies is what they are.

I've been banned from the politics section for months now.

If you are a leftist over there, anything goes.

The mods over in the Politics section cost twoplustwo money, yet it continues on.

If you are not to the left of Elizabeth Warren, eventually you get banned.

Trump snuck up on America causes of cry babies like those two mods.

Lying is never a good look fyi. You have a warning on your account, then it looks like you got an infraction and/or temp ban later.

I simply forgot. Accusing me of lying is not a good look.

Is one only able to see ones own infractions on their profile? If not, I am not seeing infractions on jiggymikes profile.

If it turned out Jiggymike was the recipient of moderator action as well, would you concede that your argument has less merit?

Wookie is already throwing a temper tantrum on the Politics forum, threatening to ban the original poster here, preki.

There is something mentally wrong with that guy Wookie, and he doesn't hide it.

I actually think Wookie has worse mental problems than Trump, and that's hard to do.

No self control or awareness.
SAD!

I know right. He says I am spamming because I don't debate when I am outnumbered 90 to 1. And when I tried to debate in the voting thread, they ignored my question and asked me questions instead.

Here's OP's response to someone who, entirely too generously, engaged him on the issue he was posting about

The video is a joke because he took the responses out of context, making it look like white liberals think black people are stupid. Black people in this country are more likely to be poor due to hundreds of years of systematic bias starting with slavery and continuing into modern times with practices like redlining and the inherent racism in the criminal justice system.

It's also a joke because he went to Harlem to ask black people if they had ID. The plight of voters to get ID is not in big cities where they can easily get around. It's in the deep south, where people without a car cannot easily travel to the nearest DMV. In Alabama, they coincidentally closed 31 of 67 DMV locations - most of them in predominantly African-American counties - after enacting voter ID laws.

According to the ACLU there are currently 250,000 registered voters in Alabama without ID who would now have to travel outside their county to get ID. That's pretty hard to do without a car. Poor people are less likely to have cars (and thus driver's licenses), and black people are more likely to be poor based on the aforementioned systemic issues.

The GOP game plan is:

1. Require voter ID.

2. Make it harder for poor people and minorities to get that ID.

If you're really curious about the issue, you can do some research and find all sorts of tactics that have been put into place in the south to make it harder for African-Americans to vote since the VRA was allowed to lapse.

Ikr, the bias is very strong there. You really expect me to debate a guy about a video when he readily admits he didn't even watch the video? Unreal.

Now you are lying
04-25-2018 , 08:01 PM
Wookie is trolling me in a pol thread now. So funny. Also, I find it very troubling that bringing up someones past about being suicidal in a politics thread isnt considered trolling but saying "you seem angry" when someone calls you a name that gets filtered is. I have a feeling it was only bc i am a conservative.

Maybe slightly but I was more upset about the suicidal comment troll.

He clearly said he watched the video. What's more another person claimed to watch the video and validated the assessment.
