It's a New Year and it's time to consolidate some of the covid threads. We've deleted hundreds of them but it just makes more sense to be official about consolidation. So this thread is for anything related to the Covid vacci...
The moderation is being idiotic and even a bot could do better. My IP was recently permanently banned for starting a thread about cholesterol with clearly a genuine question for which someone even offered a helpful response, but the mods thought I it “spam” and said they will stick with their permanent ban decision over email. What gives?
The mods don't mind racist threads though, as you can see from 37 pages of poison on the teaching of black history in Florida.
They also don't mind you insulting people every single day, which breaks one of the forum's 3 golden rules.
They should remove that thread, and they should remove you.
There is nothing "golden" here. This forum is made up of insults. They go hand in hand with every kind of prejudice and ignorance. You'd be lonely without it.

"Three Golden Rules
1. Don't insult other posters.
2. Don't post things you would not be willing to publicly defend.
3. Stay on topic."
You break 1 and 3 every day.
As for loneliness, I am not the sad 69 year old man who spends 12+ hours a day ranting on an online forum.

But you are here, as part of the rant on this forum - because that's what it does. The absurdity of the so-called "Golden Rules" is that the site wouldn't exist without their constant breach. It requires it. I'm also sure that in many cases, such as yours, the insults are bonus that has been earned.

I see you don't like facts, and you think rules don't apply to you.

Glad you managed to get back!
Thanks, anyone with half decent tech savvy should be able to circumvent their IP bans, and I’m about as tech savvy as it gets (apologies for the brag but just true). The site owners’ desire to preserve anonymity is fundamentally incompatible with being able to truly ban anyone.
What’s bothersome is their permanent ban “punishment” for what they perceived to be “spam”, not rude or offensive behavior. I can understand deleting threads or posts, but a permanent ban? My thread literally just asked about the safety of getting out-of-pocket cholesterol tests without a doctor’s note because my primary said let’s recheck after six months and I wanted to see after 3-4 months if my diet changes were having any impact; and my post included a link to a one personalabs.com I found online that was not allowed in a couple states, so I posted asking if there’s some safety concern of which I should be aware. That’s all.
A permanent ban for that because they presumably thought the included link was spam?? Here’s the link to the deleted thread:

Keep wasting your life here. You have earned it.
I'm going for a run. Ciao!
Please. Everyone knows that this site has a huge racism problem. Do you think that Baltimore and Chicago threads happen multiple times a day...just because?
A person saying they'd rather live by a lazy, unemployed, alcoholic rando because he's white instead of Thomas Sowell because he's black is not "racist because it's facts I don't like".
