Hey you fixed it. Funny thing, content that should be there is gone. Even Runaway's infamous 50 million dead liberals is gone unless I missed one. Looks like now it is just him whining about 50 million illegals.
Even with the excuse of database backup errors losing multiple months this is not a good look. Thanks for remindimg me to check the search function, it has only reinforced the suspicion that fuckery does indeed go on here :)
Can't speak for anyone else, but all my efforts are to make this place better by reducing admin abuse and encouraging more transparency. Statements like yours again reinforce that there is a lot of narrative control while ostensibly supporting free speech.
I'll fuck off now, give you some time to build your paradise. When I check back in I hope there is less tolerance for manipulative genociders and more tolerance of criticism.

I mean - I've given every opportunity for you to point to specific examples or cases, of when these things happen. Other than vague accusations - or specific issues or instances of this kind of thing - all I get are the assertions that there is shit wrong and nothing to back it up.

kolie saw the comment claiming that search did not work. It does for most people but perhaps you are an edge case. So he is now working on it to ensure that it will work for everyone - including ACs (and it already works for those ACs who have tried it).
All you can do is criticise him for investigating a problem. He is working in that area of code as we speak. And you are still complaining and making it sound as though kolie is trying to hide data or something. You are ungrateful to say the least.
It seems like you didn't like having your complaints called out. He wants you to give him more details. He cannot guess what problems you are perceiving. Now would be a good time for you to prove your case. You allege that there are so many examples, in which case it shouldn't take you more than a few minutes to present some of them.
People did moderate Runaway1956 adversely for his comments. There was a lot of subsequent discussion, almost all of it critical of what had been written. Nobody is going to go back and add another down-mod to a comment that is already 7 years old. What else do you expect? Why don't you trying engaging with him and discovering what he wants for the future?
We are tolerant of everyone. I defended aristarchus' right to express himself, and I will defend Runaway's right to do the same. I don't agree with either of them on many things. I'm not sure, but it seems that you want people removed from the site because you have a different political viewpoint from them. That isn't very 'free' speech in my opinion. If it is legal under US law then people can say it on this site.
