So the other day i got my first post modded for using the term 'ghey' in my content to describe Apple's stance on disabling essential software to entice their users to purchase upgrades. I said i to the mod in private TWAM that i wasnt a bigot (also, didnt state this to them but FWIW i have gay family and friends and also voted Yes for the Same Sex Marriage, so i know where i personally stand) and that within the context used this internet slang simply meant 'lame' or gay without the sexual connotations.
long time reader, past year poster on these woke forums.
I removed the word and my post got restored. then another mod binned me today. I asked what that was for (as i hadnt posted anything since this incident) and they ganged up on me in the same private thread with me. So here i am defending myself against the entire Communist North Korea regime.
The moderators bully and work on you as a collective team when arguing the facts - i was accused of account ghosting and having multiple posts deleted in the past; i asked for proof and got none. They then closed my account -- woo hoo these woke moderators are pathetic as i have seen people troll decent / interesting threads and topics in the past out of boredom or malicious intent and such and then a contributor questions / challenges / calls out the trolls posts and the latter gets deleted / temp binned while the troll posts stayed intact. Seen the dudes defending the topics get temp binned but the trolls still posting in there. One that comes to mind is a guy who posted regularly in AFL threads trolling Football threads - and he was untouchable apparently. AFL was birthed in Victoria and the ban hammer mod was from Victoria, draw your own conclusions. This is nothing short of a communist state run forums where you cannot say anything that isnt woke or defend yourself without consequences or doesnt fit their jilted narratives. In essence they are more woke than our PM Albo! And thats kinda concerning and scary at the same time.
I am not condoning anyone hack or DDOS their crappy coded cold fusion forums again, but they need to be humbled / muted permanently as it is a very unAustralian stance with these moderators running the show, and the website is now a cancer to society. They have every woke thing covered in their rules, i found out today apparently, so i assume they been actively banning many people over the past 2 decades collectively? Many companies have tried to sue them over the years too and i has nothing to do with the owner but moreso the moderators actions / decisions defending these trolls. Go figure.
The gem there is the plebs posting useful local stuff. Lotta crap too though. Not so much good moderation. Ah well idc, i can read shit i need to get like ISP outages/issues in my area and such i dont need the priviledge to post anymore as my issues are completely resolved and dont need to socially engage the suppliers. That, Linux and football is all i cared about there, and didnt bother with the cotroversial BS.
It is such a shame that a once awesome local website has now turned into a tits-on-a-bull forums with this woke moderator shit.
Heres a few comments elsewhere regarding this unaustralian whirlpool woke forums to ponder (note i am not a member / havent posted here / though do go there from time to time):
