My posts do NOT come out every 18 minutes, 24 hours a day. That’s 100 percent false. You can just look at the time stamps and see that’s false. The time frames mentioned are averages, not actual posting intervals. It’s not literal, friend.
And as you just mentioned, the mods banned me for 3 days. I’ve had comments removed when they thought I went too far, just as you have had. So no, I don’t get any preferential treatment from them, nor have I ever asked. No one is “handcuffed” when it comes to speaking out against me.
@jordanlund@lemmy.world would you like to jump in and address his concerns regarding the modding activity of this community?
As I’ve stated before, we’ve discussed Monk’s account between the admins and the mods, the consensus opinion is that they have shitty opinions, but having shitty opinions is not a TOS violation.
I’m going to be honest with you. My problem isn’t this person’s opinions. It’s his behaviour. And you’re slowly beginning to see it. This guy is a classic sea-lion, to use your own reasoning for his ban. He is hounding. Boastful and gloating. Disruptive and combative, while hiding behind a veneer of faux civility. Disrespectful of any dissent. And with a behaviour that sure seems like he might just be three raccoons in a trenchcoat, each with a phone, to put a humorous twist on an accusation you probably wouldn’t let stand given past history. I’m saying there’s plenty of TOS violations (multiple Rule 3 and Rule 4) right in front of your face, if you’d only see them.
But that’s OK. This is not my community to admin. Your community, your rules, and your enforcement. I also get the stress of dealing with people who think you’re not doing enough things or the right things on adminning a community; being a mod is a thankless job with scores of people who think you’re doing it wrong. Note that I wasn’t the one who drew your attention to this thread for an example of that. I’ll live within the letter of your law, though I will definitely point out where I see discrepancy in enforcement. I can’t call this poster a troll, Russian Asset, Paid Actor, or Bot, but I will point out that this user has been banned for 3 days for being a sealion by the admin team after over a month of constant anti-social behaviour. That should be within the letter of the law, right?
I still think you’re treating Monk with kid gloves while coming down on us like a ton of bricks, requiring us to give this…person respect he’s totally and completely unwilling to give us, but again, your community, your rules, and my only real option is deal with it or go somewhere else. I’m not letting this jerk run me off from an otherwise nice community, so here I am.
PS: This is what this poster sent to me.
Schoolyard bully approach with an extra dose of gloating asshole behaviour. Also, I never said this poster can’t post what it wants. I’ve said that its posting history is highly suspect (back to my three raccoons in a trenchcoat analogy), sure, and that I disagree with much of what it posts, and that it is pulling for Trump/Putin with everything it posts, but it is allowed to post what it wants. It just has to deal with all the negative comments and downvotes when it posts its inane drivel.
Curious, can a user be banned/moderated for a DM they send? They’ve messaged me before, in let’s just say a …different… tone than they use in comments. Dude even invented some bizarre story about me… It’s something.
This poster seems to have forgotten the times it ‘slid up in my DMs’ to ‘check up on me’…I haven’t. :)
This is the poster’s posting history from my perspective. 1490+ posts. 3410+ comments. That’s over a 61 day period. That’s 4900 posts and comments, which comes out to 80 posts and comments a day, 3.347 posts per hour, or roughly once per 17.9 minutes.
The receipts are up there. Thanks @SatansMaggotyCumFart for the work of figuring out this poster’s utter dedication to posting.
The time frames mentioned are averages, not actual posting intervals.
It doesn’t mean I post every 17.9 minutes nonstop around the clock. We all understand what averages are, right?
I’m not ashamed at all of my post history; it’s public. I’m actually proud when you all post it and I stand by everything I’ve said and don’t regret any of my posts! :)
But if you’re interpreting or implying an average as a precise, continuous posting schedule, then the real issue is our education system, not my activity.
See? This is the bullshit this poster throws out when confronted.
NOBODY is going to go make a scatter-graph of this poster’s posting habits to show how often it’s on posting. We’re just going to do the easy maths. Like I just did. ON AVERAGE this poster makes a comment every 18 minutes. If it sleeps 8 hours, we would divide 80 by 16, and the posting rate becomes an even more insane once per 12 minutes, every waking moment of the day. And then we start asking other uncomfortable questions, like…‘does this person work for a living? Or is this person’s work posting on here for a living?’ Not where I think this poster wants us to start drifting in our thinking, I don’t think.
But that fits with the ban for trolling this poster got. It knows that once every 18 minutes, or once every 12 minutes sixteen hours a day, or once every six minutes eight hours a day looks bad, so it starts distractifying with the nonsense that I’m saying straight out that it stays up 24/7/365 which would make it a bot or at least a group of people operating on 24 hour shifts. I’m just saying that if you average it all out, this poster is dedicating ridiculously stupidly large amounts of time to force it down our throat that it’s voting third party.
Again. I’m only interacting with this poster because we’re not crushing Trump 70 to 30. Were we, I’d not even bother with this foolish human (?) – let it waste its vote if it wants, that won’t make Trump more likely. But somehow, Trump is pulling 49.8% in some very scary places, and we ALL need to be all hands on deck, and the only reason you wouldn’t be is if you don’t mind if Trump wins and fucks the entire goddamn country in the process.
