      What kind of special tool comes on to someone's site and demands they resign?

      You have to be short-bus special to think you're opinion has any weight, that you have any credibility or sound argument to kick him off his role after he started the whole site.

      You're a moron, whoever you are. Seriously, man. Go home. You're a moron.

      If you don't like the way it's moderated, leave. Lord knows NOBODY HERE WILL MISS YOU.

            L.O.L.

            " Even some of your most loyal supporters do not understand your actions anymore. PNG "

            What you carefully avoided showing was my comment directly following that one stating that you are a psychological operation who "wants to destroy SaidIt". I've even gone so far as to stat that every one "should do your best to pay no mind to the professional psychological manipulators."

            To be clear. I'm not defending magnora7's censorship of things that question his authority, nor do we see eye to eye on how he chooses to run SaidIt, but I guarantee you...

            I will never call for magnora7 to step down.

            I am not afraid to openly voice my 3% difference of opinions to M7 in order to grow, but I assure you, we are 97% aligned against corruption and abuses of power, including by vultures and pathetic minions like you. You are the enemy. You are exposed and will continue to be. You are the joke.

              You are as selective, manipulative, and deceptive as fake news - and you are a timesuck, so I'll amuse you no longer. We all have better things to do.

              Alright, /u/LXXXVIII, or whoever you are, whoever may be the new users of the day complaining again about Saidit.

              I appreciate that you are relentless with these protest posts in recent weeks because you might have a reasonable axe to grind. And your arguments are improving each week, from attacks that have absoltuely no merit - eg. the attacks on Amelia - to attacks that now recontextualize cherry-picked screenshots from discussions in which people were already confused by fake accounts like yours about your manipulations on Saidit. You've obviously saved these screenshots so that you could return and continue the attacks. I also see that you've posted this 12 hours before Texas wakes up.

              So let's look at your new arguments:

              Some good points here, but you are partially misrepresenting users, such as /u/JasonCarswell, /u/Earendil, /u/diogenesjunior, and /u/Popper. The points they make in the posts you mention are taken out of context, and do not really capture their main concerns at the time, and it's doubtful that any of them have any interest in /u/magnora7 resigning.

              If you know anything about /u/magnora7's developments of Saidit over the past 3 years, and the support of /u/d3rr and /u/TheAmeliaMay and others, you'd know that progress with the site continues in much the same way it has for 3 years, due to their work. As they know, what can kill their website are regular campaigns of attacks on Saiditors by users like you. And you know that the site is famously not moderated very much. Only the obvious unwarranted attacks that persist seem to get the attention of the Admins. If the attacks don't persist, they're not noticed, much. And of course, new accounts are perhaps watched more closely than the other accounts for potential abuses.

              My main point: do you have reasonable arguments for the resignation of a Saidit admin? No. As usual, you cannot back up your arguments with reasonable evidence, and you extend your arguments to ridiculous, childish statements like, "giving the impression of a Third-World dictator." And your points about /s/ironleft are way out of context. I doub't anyone takes that Sub too seriously, especially given its name.

              I am responding to this because I see that - again - you are making a genuine effort for your arguments to be heard, and that you've worked very hard on these attacks in recent weeks (they all have the same 'voice'). I wonder why you've bothered to do this. Several users here have very different theories about this. Can you tell us, in one sentence, honestly, why you are making these posts?

              [–][deleted] 7 insightful - 4 fun7 insightful - 3 fun8 insightful - 4 fun -  (3 children)

              but you are partially misrepresenting users, such as /u/JasonCarswell, /u/Earendil, /u/diogenesjunior, and /u/Popper

              Partially? Almost fully in the case of all users listed, if not 100% with users like Dio (PoS), Popper & Jason. Jason asked an innocent question as he always does lol, "Jason's morale is falling, he's beginning to question you!" (Jason has questioned everything with honest intentions since day 1, I admire that about him), he's doing this shit so vulnerable users who aren't familiar with SaidIt's core user-base or their opinions flip. But he's failing terribly.

              But he's getting paid so fuck it, rite?

              As a whole, we need to start ignoring these posts. If no one responds to these, they'll be a wasted effort.

              [–][deleted] 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

              Agreed. 'Partially' was used in the British sense of the term, which can mean 'almost fully'. Like when one says, 'that's not very good', which means that it's potentially absolute bollocks.

              I'm just curious.

                    It was to frame the question.

                    But it didn't work. Not surprisingly: people with fake accounts (including you) are cowards.

                        Actually, despite our many differences on many matters, I upvoted all of Socks very rational well-reasoned comments in this post. (Why can't he always be like this?)

                        Meanwhile, not only did I not vote for Dire and Theo and others, but I also report them for dragging down discussion. I'm not expecting much from it, but I just wanted to express my disapproval directly.

                          Actually, you're right. I'm drunk and the reduced inhibitions have lead me to commenting on saidit after years of lurking. You are correct to disapprove of my comment as it was undeserved for this post which is quite reasonable from socks. Repression can lead to those sorts of comments. Thank you for keeping me in line.

                          Cheers!

                            If you're sad about being banned, consider that the only purpose of fake accounts like this and that of the OP on Saidit is to spam and harrass. And all of your comments engage in a reverse logic that indicates that you're dunk.

                                  SAIDIT, please pay attention.

                                  " Poor /u/JasonCarswell simply cannot tell if his behavior is good or bad, what’s right and what’s wrong, without someone in the right position of authority – without you – telling him clearly and coherently! He’s lost without your firm moral guidance. He needs his daddy, /u/magnora7! Not a violent drunkard buzzed on power-modding! (Especially now that his real dad is gone.) "

                                  This is a pathetic attempt to psychologically attack my psyche and wear me down, and attempt to even drive me to suicide as others have been pressured towards before. I was only vaguely aware of a couple instances shared with me (that I know of, with nearly 700 messages, many unread). I wasn't even aware of most of the content on SaidIt much less the battle M7 has been waging openly AND behind the scenes that I've recently learned about.

                                  Do NOT let them get to you.

                                  /u/magnora7, deal with this /u/Save_SaidIt impostor as you see fit, but please do NOT censor this exemplary example post that people can learn from, even if some of it may be at our expense.

                                  For the record, I'm more amused and fascinated by this than anything, followed closely by being pissed that they are attacking my home, SaidIt. NONE of their attack had any effect. Mosquitoes are worse. But I'm lucky. I've been through fucking hell on Big Pharma poisons (probably their employer) and have come out the other side more determined than ever to stand up and resist ALL corrupt and exploitative tyranny for everyone's liberty. We all do better when we all do better. I even use my real fucking name.

                                  Others are not as lucky and resilient as I have the fortune of currently being and they have been emotionally harmed by these covert cowards. I'm not talking about brainwashed SJW feelz needing safe spaces either. I'm hoping they heal, grow stronger with our compassion, and will be better prepared for the next inevitable bullshit attacks.

                                  This is the cyber war, culture war, and psy war we've all been warning about, along with the looming /s/FoodCrises. I wish it weren't so but I refuse to stick my head in the sand, gay sand or not.

                                  Edit, to respond to the Q&A of the OP:

                                  I thought /s/IronLeft had great potential to be a good sub, but their ego power-mod /u/loki88 has issues and censored a post of mine - for no good reason. Their sidebox "5 Tenets of the Iron LEFT" esoteric bullshit is without clear rules. I stopped sharing there after I reported it to M7. I was disappointed to not hear back about it, but that's not uncommon.

                                  OP, why you gotta use small text like you're trying to pull one over on us in the fine print?

                                  Thanks for these posts. I also had a long reply, but with no response from the coward who posted this. Then /u/Enza indicated that I shouldn't waste my time with these fake posts, even if I am genuinely curious what the motives are for them (and there seem to be several motives). I agreed with Enza, but it's really helpful to see your additional comments. This is partially because you've also prompted the coward, /u/Save_SaidIt to offer one small explanation for why he's spent so much time with these fake posts, in part so that:

                                  The post predicts that many users here will have a hard time letting go of /u/magnora7

                                  Hence this was an experiment, or trolling, or for lulls, if especially /u/Save_SaidIt intuited that he wouldn't get support for his attempts to disrupt Saidit? Still, /u/Save_SaidIt is obviously a coward because he won't respond to my question: why is he doing this?

                                  I agree with /u/Enza. This is a timesuck distraction and "this is a psyop" will be all I'll ever comment from now on. Further, I'll save this post as a future reference example.

                                  I got suckered in before, as I've been out of it for a couple months and missed all the previous manufactured drama. Today I was late to discover this OP as I was posting this and corresponding.

                                  What I think is critical here is that I believe their motivations are more than just an attack on SaidIt, but they are targeting effective users. I'm not saying I'm the greatest or any shit like that, but I'd like to think I'm effective, in my own different way, at sharing important content and expressing my views. More than that - we're building up a vast reference library about tyranny the abuses of power, and as chaotic and unorganized as it is, collectively it paints a clear picture.

                                  They may have chosen softer targets in the past, but if they even fucking read the post I'd written about my father's death they'd see that though I live across the street from him for the last decade, I'd barely seen him a few times a year and did not talk to him. We were not close. Attacking me on that front was their biggest gaffe on par with taking my words out of context to misrepresent me.

                                  Because they're getting paid I can't call them amateurs, and the psyop aspect is fascinating, so I'll just call them stupid professional minions.

                                  You'll never get a direct answer from them. (A direct answer is not necessarily limited to yes/no.)

                                  Jason, the guy is a serial ban evader and does nothing but start shit.. I should know.

                                  He's directly going against major rules of the site and making every attempt possible to stir things up here, and it's working when any attention is given. It's not worth the time investment. It will run off current and potential users, it's just gone on too far and long. To keep anything that the poster puts here up is to basically let him walk all over the site's admin system, and it makes things look weak on our end.

                                  I am beginning to think he knows exactly what he is doing. Why did the OP mention Jason so many times? Why does he have the same writing style as Jason's posts?

                                  Coincidence?

                                  Lel. That would be hilarious, but he's already trying his damnedest to get rid of all the stuff on his plate. Plus his back's all a-jank now, rendering him further. A funny mental image of puppet strings comes to mind though.

                                  I think we all wish that we could aspire to the frothy mouthed tenacity (and mental energy) it takes the guy(s) to keep them coming back after being banned a bajillion times.

                                  I think that's more to distract himself from what he's SUPPOSED to be working on, maybe. Or at least that's how I work. All the calls and texts that I've ignored, even housework suddenly becomes more interesting when I'm trying to avoid shit I don't want to do.

                                  Well, yeah. There's always time to avoid things in pursuit of conversations you can't really have with the majority of people in society. Especially if you feel like you're getting closer to some kind of truth with it, or sharing something you feel like is valid I would imagine.

                                  If you say so. He seems to spend most of his time collecting subs like baseball cards, quadruple-posting links, and stirring drama any time it pops up. Doesn't paint a good picture

                                  [–]Comatoast 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (5 children)

                                  He's posting the links in several places because they're relevant to the sub though, right? It just kinda comes across as shitting up the /new area because we see it all at once there instead of just in the sub as intended. He wants to be helpful and manage all of those things too, but then there's the whole aspect of time and generally biting off more than one can chew.

                                  Most of us are guilty here of being drawn to the turd cauldron of drama. It's part of the draw sometimes, a feature one might say.

                                  Why did OP mention Jason so many times?

                                  Did they? I don’t wanna get Jason in trouble here lol.

                                  They mentioned Jason first, and twisted Jason’s stance very nefariously. That was a major crux of their argument - “one of your main, loyal users is now doubting you” (bullshit), I called it out and mentioned Jason (as well as the other users) in my comment, and this was when the thread was new.

                                  I said exactly what Jason did, just much shorter lol. That’s when Jason came in and said they were full of shit (you know Jason is going to defend himself) and they went back at Jason.

                                  Jason also said something very important about mental health imo, you really think there’s foul play going on? Jason didn’t enter this thread until at least 5-6 hours of it being posted, me 2 hours.

                                  Agreed. But IMO we need to study their tactics. They've been trying (and failing) to psychologically demotivate and manipulate me for days. They've also been exposing their tricks. I can see how some people have gotten very upset by them, and I've even been suckered in, but with experience comes wisdom and defenses. SaidIt needs /s/InfiltratorWatch or something like that, maybe not a sub, but some way to train people to be aware of their shit.

                                  Yes, don't feed the trolls. But how would we spot trolls if we're ignorant of them and their tactics?

                                  Yes, I've been largely absent for a month and a half or more (back pain), posting but not interacting, but SaidIt has not fundamentally changed aside from a few bans and my new awareness of this campaign as described by M7 upon his return.

                                  Freedom ain't free. We need to fight for it. People need to know how to fight for it. You don't come to SaidIt for pictures of flowers and puppies. I don't believe being aware of and fighting trolls will run off users.

                                  To keep a perfect example of their attempted psychological manipulation is critical. Now I can NO LONGER point here to show their tricks because it's been censored.

                                  Bad posts are not uncommon and that does not reflect weak leadership. That's NOT new. I don't believe for one minute that keeping some examples to learn from reflects poorly on M7. But censorship does. There's a distinction between censorship and banishment. Ban the fuckers to hell but let their shit be a lesson.

                                  When deliberately malicious posts are a good portion of the front page every single day, what's the point in leaving them up? Just make this site look foolish, every single day?

                                  Funny, that's exactly what the trolls openly say they want! Why are you repeatedly promoting their agenda? Do you want to ruin saidit?

                                  Give me a fucking break. OBVIOUSLY I hadn't seen any of their shit before. I did NOT know. HOW the fuck is anyone ELSE suppose to know if there's not an example, or more specifically, a good example IMO that we can at least point to. I don't mind being the goofball who fell into this trap as long as it serves an educational purpose. THAT was the very reason I bothered to counter the their bullshit and why I asked for THIS one NOT to be censored.

                                  I do NOT want to run SaidIt. I/We want SAIDIT to openly run SaidIt more democratically, under your wisdom, guidance and veto.

                                  Bonus: I do NOT want a pure democracy that can be gamed. I, and others like me, want you to pick your team to help you.

                                  I recently gave away 20+ subs and invited a couple dozen of the best people, to my knowledge, I know of here, not intentionally overlooking at least another dozen.

                                  I'm sure you've got your faves. Start there, ask them for their faves, discuss and collaborate and reach a consensus. There's no shame in being dismissed from that team as it should be an honour for anyone to even be considered. With a consensus of 100% agreement, you can develop your own policies of how you self organize and such - and you obviously have veto power which I would hope you'd justify assuming you ever use it.

                                  With or without me as team advisor, as you see fit. I'm not reliable nor regular in general, and soon I plan to be doing other interactive community building projects on SaidIt that are not current-events-based. I can't even keep up with current events now.

                                  None of this is new. I wouldn't keep saying it if I didn't believe it. If there's something better I'd be repeating that.

                                  Now who's trolling? I've never had a breakdown. I'm bipolar. I have moods. It may not matter to you but the distinction is profound and clear. In a nutshell, pun intended, I had a life, 2008 crash and Big Pharma stole that, I crawled out of that and survived. I'm much poorer but much stronger and more confident than ever now, and like before all that, accept my strengths and weaknesses, though now I'm much more informed about mental illness, as well as the levers of power.

                                  You need to stop censoring.

                                  I already stated in today's post I wasn't going to entertain them further.

                                  They are not the only problem here.

                                  You may be a technically fine admin (I have zero clue), you started SaidIt with terrific intentions, but clearly you lack leadership skills, specifically what's necessary to creatively outflank them. I'm not your man either. But together, as a community, I think we've got much more than just a chance.

                                  Add critical info to the banner or pin a message to the front page. Assemble a trusted team and invite them to come up with stuff. Consider a campaign for user awareness. Proactively do something among the people. As we've both stated, this is more than just trolls - their psychological games and maneuvers are de-motivators in their self-declared war of "attrition". Literally.

                                  Censorship is darkness and doesn't stop anything. Bring up the lights and awareness to better navigate together.

                                  I'm not trying to diminish your power. I'm trying to help you raise your own army to give you more power.

                                  Obvious of what? I have no clue what your meaning. I'm trying to be as clear as I can, especially with you who seem to have a huge blind spot. If that's not what you mean then I'm at a loss, unless you're going to ban me now. If you don't want a public discussion there are private messages. I prefer to speak openly, in the open, and that's not news - to you or others. I'm an open book. That's why they harvested my words thinking they could use them against me. It's also why people appreciate my candor.
