    Exactly, yet you allow criticisms of the SN site and some of its users to be modded spam. Are you really this thick? Are you perhaps a poorly trained GPT BOT? Last I heard criticizing institutions was the beadrock of free speech. Which moderations you allow and which you decide are mod abuse says everything that needs to be said about Soylent News. It is very simple.

    I take it you will be leaving then.....

    Exactly, yet you allow criticisms of the SN site and some of its users to be modded spam.

    If they are off-topic in the place that the criticisms are being raised, if they are repetitive, and if they contribute nothing to the topic under discussion, then I think it is reasonable for people to judge them as being spam.

    You have made you point. You don't like it. I have told you how to change it. You seem to be incapable of doing that. Nothing will change simply because you object to it. Write some new rules and let the community decide. I cannot make it any easier for you to understand. Whinging is NOT going the change the rules that are currently in force.

      How about a poll where such community input will not be off-topic, then?

      Proposed Poll:

      WTF is wrong with SoylenyNews?

      • Bored of Directors
      • Banning of aristarchus
      • Woke SJW Groomers
      • All the damn Spam mods
      • Lack of honesty, transparency, and integrity
      • Other (specify in comments)

      The rules are violated with impunity and you are the judge allowing abuse. I have no hope of you changing, but I feel the community should be aware of how shitty you truly are. You have had a hundred opportunities to be less shitty, yet you continue to engage threads you don't like so you can spam mod more TOR addresses. You are pathetic and it is my easure to highlight your lies and hypocrisy. I used to think you were reasonable and just having to handle the real spammers, then you revealed you knew about sock puppeters for a long time and let them continue even as hemocyanin worked overtime to prove their existence. You allow moderation abuse based on your personal feelings, you track users carefully, and you make false statements. When called out for moderation abuse you fall back on "that is illegal" or "that opinion is spam" when neither are true, while allowing bigotry (filth by site rules) and threats of violence as free speech.

      You are a broken human being purveying rightwing bigotry and hate no matter how many times you say otherwise. If one person is allowed to threaten genocide surely SN can handle critics calling out luars and nazis, but nope, not on jan's watch! No more excusing your shitty behavior, you drew the lines yourself.
