Also as predicted Flying Hellfish would near instantly delete these types of comments if directed toward his left leaning friends, but since it is me they perpetually remain "unhandled".

Or perhaps FHF was off that day, or deferred the decision to other mods because you're crying about his every move. So many possibilities but it must be a conspiracy.

Well its been what like 4 days? If he is taking that much time off maybe he should resign. Side note, I just checked and they were all marked bad. Funny how that works he ignores it until called out then pretends they were invalid.
2963  Other / Meta / Re: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE: FLYING HELLFISH - SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT AND CENSORSHIP on: October 30, 2019, 10:28:34 PM
He is basically complaining about my posts being off-topic in my own thread. I made the thread, I get to decide what its about -- he doesn't. Pretty ironic that this is coming from a guy who considers himself to be such an astute champion of free speech. He could just move on, but instead he would rather post about how unfair the rules are in his Meta LiveJournal.

It's quite amusing how he thought that his post about him being not concerned is on topic but my post isn't. That is, unless he reported his own post too but forgot to list that fact in his REEE thread.

To be fair though, I wouldn't have been shocked if a bunch of those memes ended up deleted but such action would inevitably include his "no u" meme and that would cause another whinestorm. I don't think a viable strategy exists for mods to handle TECSHARE's complaints to his satisfaction.

Sorry Nutilduhhh, but you can in fact be off topic in your own threads. Just because you started it doesn't mean you now dictate the rules. You are still required to maintain the discussion on the topic of the OP.

As far as Suchgoon, my reply was a direct reply about the previous comment, reaffirming that I made a logical argument including sources, which is very much on topic. Your little circle jerk snipe fest directed at me was not. Also as predicted Flying Hellfish would near instantly delete these types of comments if directed toward his left leaning friends, but since it is me they perpetually remain "unhandled".

More ignored reports of clearly off topic posts (now marked bad):


Since you are only capable of communicating in the form of cartoons, this is what you sound like...

https://i.imgur.com/bm7BQYy.png


Funny you talk about changing the rules when you don't like them when that is all the Democrat party has been doing since 2016, including this sham impeachment. As usual, more of this...


[https://i.imgur.com/6g39sr3.jpg

Thats... that's not a counterargument. That is saying "no u" while posting a meme that says "no u." You've clearly lost it by this point. Its ridiculous to think you deserve a better response than a meme.

https://i.imgur.com/dhDgSu2.png




That meme is free for anybody to use in the future. I'm sure it will come in handy time and again.

Edit: TS is probably furiously creating his own supermeme right now that will not only destroy me but all libs as well.



No, my counter argument with sources was my counter argument. I went to bed, that's how concerned I am with your verbal fecal/vomit combo.

I have to say - you do look a bit concerned in that photo.


I am looking forward to Flying Hellfish not taking action on your off topic retardation and posting about it in the log of his related behaviors. I make use of you no matter what angle you take Nutilduhhh.

Dear Diary,

Today the internet was mean to me again. I told them to cut it out but they just wouldn't! Donald Trump is the best president ever. He also did nothing wrong and its just not fair that people don't want to accept these two very important facts. This forum is a place for RATIONAL DISCUSSION about IMPORTANT THINGS like whether or not space is fake, how George Soros is a reptilian, and how to survive the impending apocalypse. Its not my fault my debating prowess is so extraordinary that people cower at the thought of having to take me head on and resort to posting childish memes. I myself would never do such a thing. I did not ask to be born with these powers!!

He blocked you because you're an asshole, not because he can't tolerate your ideas. If you could perhaps try to make your point without being such a flaming nugget of condescension and assholery, perhaps your ideas would be better entertained by others. Has that ever once occurred to you since you've been a member of this forum? I'm willing to tolerate alternate viewpoints just fine, so long as they aren't being given by someone who can't help but work personal insults into every response.

Worst case scenario: California freelancers are limited to 35 submissions per employer per year. That is hardly "the end of freelance journalism" or an "apocalyptic event."

Best case scenario (and most probable): lawmakers work with lobbyists/concerned citizens to make sure the bill has absolutely no negative impact on freelance journalists.

[criticizes me for making personal attacks, works personal attacks into every reply you make to me]

If he doesn't like it maybe he should have left the personal attacks out of his own comments, either way I don't buy it. People love to shift the anger and fear generated from cognitive dissonance into any excuse they can manage. Any time I question his own knowledge of a situation its always the same pissy type reply even without personal attacks from my end. Anyways I really don't give a fuck if he or anyone else likes me. Being liked is overrated. People who measure their self worth on the approval of others are fucking losers.

Limiting a freelance journalist to 35 submissions a year IS effectively the end of freelance journalism in California because that is a weeks workload for some people. Of course you know better than The American Society of Journalists and Authors, because what would they know about their own field of focus? You are Nutillduuuhhhh after all, and you know more about their jobs than they do. Your assumptions that it will all be worked out are meaningless. This is a backdoor restriction on free speech with all the worst elements of a minimum wage and excessive government regulation.
2966  Other / Politics & Society / Re: [POLL] Trump Impeachment Poll: Who's Fault Is It? on: October 30, 2019, 12:30:36 AM
I feel dirty clicking on ZeroHedge links. You do realize there are other "news" sources out there, right? Its quite easy for me to find the Fox News version of a story and post it here just to make conservatives more open to reading it. Can't you find a "lefty" publication like CNN, CBS, NBC or MSM that makes your same point? Oh, you can't? Wonder why that is.

Your emotional instability is not my concern. I read news from all kinds of sources. Unfortunately any main stream sources are going to have a bend spinning it in the most anti-Trump way possible and people like you will cherry pick the most bullshit parts of it and go "SEE YOUR OWN SOURCE SAYS...". If I pick an independent source then you will attack the source without addressing the topic in any way every time, and unfortunately they are the only ones who will cover most of these issues at all. Trump could cure cancer tomorrow and CNN, CBS, NBC would never report it because they are not unbias in the slightest. If the partisanship of the media I link bothers you, maybe you should look at the purveyors of the vast majority of bullshit, the MSM. They have been abandoned by mass numbers of people for good reason. You wonder why that is? I don't, its because they are full of shit. I would trust a piss smelling hobo on the corner more than CNN, CBS, or NBC. Compared to them, independent blogs and aggregators deserve a Pulitzer Prize.

Part of the beauty of the internet is no one really gives a shit, and your ideas and character are what people see, not your meat vessel.

I’m black and African, but you’ll probably think differently when you read my posts on social media. Your race and background becomes important in a setting where discussions are made affecting your background/race. It paints a better picture when people take social media actions to influence decisions that affect their hometown.

No one makes you inject your race into these discussions. If you willingly do so, then that is your fault and no one else's.
2968  Other / Meta / Re: Why are my posts being deleted? on: October 30, 2019, 12:19:46 AM
My post was directly on topic. The OP was about 3rd parties hijacking threads and posting external advertisements and sales, which was exactly what my post was about. Furthermore it was important to use the existing post on the matter because it establishes that this is a rule, one you your self in fact supported (in theory anyway).

What you mentioned would break 2 rules: ad spam and off-topic. As such, advertising your or any other similar service that competes should be reported by using the "Report to moderator" link at the bottom right of the post.

See the list of rules in the sticky of the Meta board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0

Sure seems like that is exactly what is happening here:

Unless someone from china decides to screenshot this and make a better one and sell it for lower margin and higher quality in all of China.
I heard of a site called Threadless years ago. Go check them out, you can set up your own store there and then promote it to sell your stuff. Their fabric is very durable as well. I regularly buy for Christmas from there.

But in your opinion the rules don't apply... because, and don't bother posting about it because we will erase that too.
IIRC while I did find your first post borderline, I wasn't the one who acted on it so whoever did may be able to comment on it better. I did, however, delete the second (?) one which included you complaining about moderation, which definitely was off-topic. Nevertheless, here's what my opinion on the first one:

Had you posted that in a thread that had maintained active discussion up until recently, you could argue that. Since the thread you posted in was inactive for the past 4 years, your post had to have contributed to the old discussion directly (answering the question "Should I report posts that hijack a thread?") and substantially (if you necro a super old thread you better have a good reason and enough useful content to warrant it) rather than branching it off to a related discussion ("Why are my reports on hijacking not getting handled?"). Had you been the OP of the aformentioned thread, I could see how complaining about it would've been directly contributing to the discussion.

As for any posts that break the rules, report them. If your report gets denied and you're vehemently sure that it's against the forum's rules, message theymos.

To me all this looks like is people who are obsessively looking for excuses to spam reports about me any chance they get because they don't like my opinions and are looking for any excuse to take retribution because they don't have any logical argument to stand on and feel justified playing these kinds of games to satiate their own lack of emotional control. Then mods like you dance around and make about 100 excuses of why not only the original report was ok to be ignored but their report was of course important enough to be enforced. Again, all this does is breed disrespect for authority when rules are only imposed on users and not used to protect them. This has been a years long pattern for not only my reports, but reports made against me, not just this type specifically. Plausible deniability affords you the ability to continue this pattern of selective enforcement and simply dismiss my complaints as unreasonable. Everyone else might buy it. I don't.

Since self-modded topics aren't allowed in Meta, IMO local rules don't apply here. If you want to reach out to one or more moderators, send a multi-recipient PM. As for how to find them, see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0:

Q: Where can I find all the moderators/staff/administrators?
A: Just go to the Member search page (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=mlist;sa=search), untick all the boxes and then tick "Search by position". To find all regular moderators like board moderators, local moderators or patrollers (site-wide newbie moderators), search for "Staff" (without the quotation marks). To find all global moderators, search for "Global Moderator". To find all admins, search for "Administrator".

Make sure to check you are not dealing with an imposter: real mods have the "Position:" field (or the field bellow their username and above their rank (like 'Member' or "Hero member") when they PM or post) set as either Staff, Global Moderator or Administrator. Also, administrators and global moderators have a half colored last coin when you view the left side of their PM or a post. Admins have a red one and global mods have a light blue colored one.

As for your posts getting deleted, if you necro a super old thread, you better make sure your contribution is directly on-topic and substantial enough to warrant bumping it to the top. Yours was neither. If you want to complain about moderation, you're free to do it by starting a thread in Meta or posting in an at least semi-recent thread where it's directly on-topic.

Because that's what he does, that's his only role on here. He just  spreads misinformation on here, probably on twitter, instagram, facebook etc as well (and if he doesn't use those, maybe his own blog, steemit, etc)

So yeah. Unsure of why someone like this is going to continue to spread misinformation, but they have their fun doing it.

Excuse me little boy? You have a lot to learn about the world, but I am sure you have it all figured out before you have reached drinking age. Just because I discuss issues that your favorite pasteurized and regurgitated corporate approved mainstream media platforms doesn't mean I spread disinformation, that is just a sign of your own cognitive dissonance being unable to discuss concepts you don't agree with and instead making character attacks. That's fine, though, ultimately it is you who will pay the price of your blind allegiance to your corporate overlords. Just don't forget people like me who's faces you spit in for simply trying to introduce you to new ideas when you do finally put on your big boy pants and realize how much you don't know.

Alright. Blocked.

Ooooh noooo! Don't ignore me! Way to prove you are able to tolerate ideas that challenge your currently held beliefs. You sure showed me!

Hey Nutilduhh... that poll didn't turn out like you thought it would did it? If only everyone belonged to the hive mind like you, things would be so much easier right?

The hive mind is alive and well and they all voted for the first option. That's what constitutes a "hive" - the overwhelming majority of a population. I just didn't want the P&S conservatard/conspiratard majority to feel left out, so I gave them an option.

Before you post your go-to meme, I'm countering it with my No U To Infinity card.

Amazing... the consensus is correct, until they disagree with you, then it is the hive mind. Brilliant. Such a counterculture victim you are with all of the media parroting your beliefs 24/7 365. The "NO U" while projecting my own words back at me is also a nice touch. Not delusional at all.

The local thread rules are clear and not directed at specific users. Clearly though specific users only care about observing rules when it benefits them. Replying on topic to a thread is not "hijacking". The subject of the thread was that it is supposedly against the rules to advertise 3rd party sites in sales threads (completely on topic). Apparently the rules only protect you if the mods like you. The rules are enforced against you when they don't, and get an excuse from any obsessive stalker attempting to take retribution for daring to have ideas they don't agree with, as made apparent by the inability by posters here to separate political discussion from other discussions here.

Marx was an unemployed leech. Who do you think funded his lifestyle while he wrote his manifesto as well as other works? Remember, he didn't even write it alone either... there was a shadowy hand next to him the whole time funding and making his own contributions from behind the scenes. Furthermore it is possible for people to hold independent ideas and still have them manipulated to serve a purpose. They CAN'T create such a conspiracy? That is quite an assumption.

Friedrich Engels of course, his rich friend. Capitalist in fact  Grin

You called him shadowy hand in fact  Grin

I will look into your article a little bit later, but i really don't think that Marx was creation of evil banks and evil jews. More like he was some kind of hypocrite who lived from "exploitation" of workers who worked for Engels.

I told you that Communism was the creation of Western bankers. What about your comments is antithetical to my premise?

I see some non-moderators violating local posting rules. Of course the moderators will selectively enforce this rule as well I am sure, because the rules here are only for when they serve people you agree with. Posting a relevant reply in an on topic thread is not hijacking, it is a continuation of the conversation. This is why people lack respect for authority on this forum, because you allow people such as the above to utilize the forum as a cudgel to punish those they can not silence through other means. Then everyone pretends these rules are not selectively enforced because you are only acting on the reports of obsessive stalkers with a vendetta because some one dares have an opinion they do not agree with. Moderators I am sure you think this kind of behavior serves you, but it is in fact counter-productive, and the source of most of the conflict and drama you see on this forum. People don't respect those in positions of authority when the rules are only imposed on them and not also used to protect them.

I posted these on topic, in a related thread. It seems to me the moderators are intent on proving they in fact do selectively enforce the rules, especially when it comes to even mild criticism of their own activities. I would be interested to hear the excuse for removing the comments of myself and others in a relevant on topic thread.

Should I report this behavior after seeing it or just let it go ?

If it's off-topic or just an advertising post that doesn't bring anything to the discussion, I think that reporting is the way to go.
Also keep in mind that bad/incorrect reports don't hurt as long as they aren't too many:

Do not worry about your accuracy too much; one accurate report is worth many inaccurate reports.

I am less concerned about my reporting stats and more concerned that have to suffer these people because don't get to enjoy equal protetion under the rules for some reason. 

There was also a third party that had their comment in reply deleted. This kind of response is not at all convincing that they don't selectively enforce the rules.

I am not back pedaling anything, and you are just repeating yourself. It isn't over yet, but you keep repeating yourself if it reassures you. Just be here when it comes out.

"Trump accuses Obama of treason for ‘spying’ on his 2016 campaign"

Going from "indictments", "prosecutions", and "military tribunals" to "things Trump said" is quite serious backpedaling. Trump has accused a lot of people of treason (e.g. recently Pelosi and Schiff for starting the impeachment proceedings - behold my masterful swing back on topic) but none of them have been prosecuted for the grave crime of defying Trump, which he seems to equate to treason, let alone prosecuting for actual treason.


No, it is forward pedaling regardless of how you wish to imagine it. This is just the first signs, and more is to come. This isn't done yet regardless of you insisting to call the match before the game is over and your team just lost the lead. I don't know what you would call illegally using your oversight authority to remove a duly elected sitting president, but I would say treason is a fair description of those activities. This has been nonstop since before he was even inaugurated. The Democrat party refuses to accept the results of the 2016 election results and have been seeking to undo its results from day one at all costs, even if it severely damages the nation in the process. Accusing a former president of treason is no small matter, and you are going to have an exceptional amount of crow on your plate once you find out how much information actually backs that claim. Until then you keep imagineering your preferred interpretations and try to call the game before it is finished in a last second act of desperation hoping it won't be true. It is true, and you better start coming to terms with it, because it is going to hurt a lot more if you are forced to accept it all at once. Of course you won't because you haven't even come to terms with the results of the 2016 election.

Isn't that how most of the online BS news works anyway? Though people will always remember that you get more clicks if you write things like "THE END OF FREELANCE JOUNRALISM" or something crazy along those lines.

God damn. This isn't going to effect anyone.

As usual you miss the forest for the trees. Instead of taking clickbait titles into account and integrating that information, you just dump the whole of it  (as if the mainstream media you worship at the feet of don't do exactly the same thing). This is a category error. There is no such thing as bad information, only useless interpretations of it.
