When life starts becoming fair let me know...I once got ticked whilst not speeding. It is tough waiting for it, I'm going to try to enjoy this game latter.

Really? I've been muted, when I was the one dealing with ad hominem attacks, and did not respond in kind. Sorry, not buying the "non biased moderation" story. Not when I've been muted for absolutely no reason, while others actually behaving poorly are never muted.

At this point, there are some here I simply refuse to even bother to converse with. They're simply not worth the time and hassle. If there are no politics in the conversation, they'll inject some, to "give cause for moderation", then spew bile, and play the victim. They've nothing to offer in civil discourse, they fail to provide facts or logic, and ignore any that are. All they offer are accusations of racism or fascism, which is pretty much a matter of projection in every case. And they trot out tired, dis-proven soundbites and claims, get a thread closed, and pat themselves on the back for "winning".

What the Hell. Mute me. I can take it. Ban me, I can take that, too. It says way more about those doing the muting, and the crying, than about those being muted. I've been a moderator on a dozen boards, I know poor moderation when I see it.

Ive been muted twice on these boards, one deserved, the second, I dont think so but took it as I did make a comment in a thread that was closed for what I assume was a political rules violation. I didnt question it as I did post in that thread even tho my post was non-political.

It seems to me that the same 5 guys who continuously post breaking/twisting/pushing the rules are the first to come up with all these theory's on how they are picked out. Maybe its because they continuously break/twist/push the rules that they are getting muted? Seems like a good reason to me.

Stop with the paranoid BS, and the speculation, and just own the punishment you deserved.

I'll just agree to disagree. Your opinion is that moderation here is "fair" and "even handed". You're entitled to that opinion. You're even entitled, I suppose, that those who disagree with you are "paranoid". I find your position to be ill-founded at best. But you're entitled to that as well. You're also entitled to believe certain people are deserving of punishment, and others are not, I guess, amusing as that position is.

These are the same guys that say the mods in the game are not biased.

It appears to me that some people are able to get away with things that others get punished for. It seems to be the same in the game and on the boards.

I also agree with he thought that it's the same group of people who are doing the reporting. I think most of us don't get offended so easily but there are a few here that seemed to be "triggered" by anyone or anything that doesn't agree with "their little world".

Merry Christmas and happy New Year. Wishing you a great 2026!

Finally! An unbiased opinion in the hen house. Heck, not even opinion but actual unadulterated fact, in fact.

Thanks and Merry Christmas, Brooke!

You are so right but they are a Canadian band so God knows what the tariff is on their music.

How can you tell that others haven't been muted?

For what it's worth, looking back in your post history the majority are made in now-locked threads that seemed to be political or didn't start that way but went off the rails in that fashion.

You can't participate and even cheer from the sidelines and claim innocence/expect to not get penalized in some fashion.

You can see others haven't been muted because they continue to post, while you're muted, and they were the major participants in the locked threads. It's pretty obvious. You have to be blind, or biased, to not see it.

But hey, that's fine, too.

I have my own PNG list too. Cuts down on the garbage I have to sift through to see the relevant posts.

This really does help. I think I only have 2 people on it though. I'd bet at least one of them is the same as yours.

What the heck did you do to get warning points?

Ya the mods appear to base warnings on who you are and whether they agree with what you say more then what you actually say in my experience. I've seen it when two guys are talking about a subject, one is pro and one is con. Either the pro guy gets muted and the con guy continues on or the con guy gets muted and the pro guy continues on depending on if the mod is pro or con what is being discussed. Not sure that's "willy nilly"
