Mod question for Admins: misusing the report button

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-17T11:36:22+00:00

For some reason, I never saw this until now (not even the username mention).

Do we warn USER2 and USER3 to take commentary about other users to PMs?

If it's dragging discussion down the Pyramid: you can. People shouldn't be trying to pick fights.

Do we warn USER1 not to use the report feature for personal issues and complaints about other subs?

Yes, and ban him if he keeps abusing the report button. (He did it on this post, by the way). If he keeps abusing the report button after he's been banned: send me a message and I'll ban him from the whole site.

The way in which he's using the report button is a violation of the Pyramid of Debate, especially since he insulted you in the report on this post. It also makes it harder for me, the other admins, and sub moderators to keep the site clean, if there's fake reports.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-17T10:44:33+00:00

Don't respond to the r/AHS trolls.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-17T10:27:14+00:00

I really don't want to have to ban you, socks, but I can't tolerate thinly veiled threats. Don't do it again, please.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-17T10:25:06+00:00

I'll deal with it.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-16T17:09:19+00:00

Shit like this is why you're never getting back on my friends list.

Again, quit trying to drag me into your stupid drama.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-16T17:05:32+00:00

When you do this, it makes you a shitty admin.

I'm not letting you drag me into your stupid drama.

That's hardly a polite manner and obviously you've missed what prompted this post.

Re-read my comment.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-16T17:03:35+00:00

It was the troll, nevermind.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-16T02:56:06+00:00

Like?

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-16T02:55:17+00:00

I'm from Arkansas, and I have trouble spelling "receive" LOL

English spelling makes next to no sense — you literally have to memorize how every word is spelled — which is why most English speakers misspell words at such a high rate. You ain't bad at spelling, the system is just broken.

At one point in time, every English word was pronounced how it's spelled, but there have been so many sound changes since they were put to paper (such as the great vowel shift), and since we borrowed so many words from other languages: we've ended up with more than one set of rules.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-16T02:33:06+00:00

But there are other shills out there.

Yeah, there definitely are. It's a waste of time to even try to identify them, but it does make it easier to justify banning them, if I have definitive proof they're an already-banned user.

Beware, they will try to befriend you.

They've already tried that, but unfortunately for them: I don't make friends easily; I have trust issues.

At least recently he's not using 125 pt bold text everywhere, his trademark move.

Can you even do that on SaidIt?

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-16T02:23:05+00:00

Calm down, Jason. You called her a "lying idiot" and a "shill", which immediately dragged discussion down to where it is now. I don't care what she said about vaccines; she was telling you her opinion in a polite manner, and you responded by calling her names.

u/socks: just cause he dragged discussion down the Pyramid first doesn't mean you have a free pass to call him a "narcissist POS" with mental issues and a drug problem. I know from personal experience that never helps.

I know yall are just upset — it happens to everyone — but it's time to shut the fuck up and debate like adults. If yall can't get along: block each other and move on. Please don't do this again; I don't want to deal with other people's drama — and the only reason I didn't just ignore it, is cause I like yall.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-16T02:04:51+00:00

He's not a bot. He's obviously a troll, but I haven't seen him actually break the rules (send me a DM, if you do).

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-15T11:40:37+00:00

He makes a lot of accounts; he's obviously using a VPN.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-15T10:37:01+00:00

They ain't "New", but the situation has most certainly escalated as of late; the troll we have right now was around before u/loki88. I think he might be u/ILoveCher, judging by his behavior and writing style, but it really doesn't matter.

Just don't interact with him, because u/Jesus posted a screenshot that shows they might be getting paid for engagement.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-15T10:19:40+00:00

Most people on the far-right have some kind of mental illness — on the Internet, at least.

Most of them are autistic and just LARPing. Some of them are anti-social and naturally lean towards hateful ideologies. Some of them are psychopaths or sociopaths who want to hurt or kill others, so they naturally identify with the far-right.

Node is probably a sociopath, but I ain't a psychologist, so you're guess is as good as mine.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-15T10:06:16+00:00

The JIDF's website doesn't exist anymore, but I'm sure they've just changed their name to lose all the heat they were getting from the press and people like you calling them out on social media — thanks for doing that, by the way.

I asked u/loki88 how much they were paying him, and he wouldn't tell me LOL. His account was made five months ago, and the last time I saw him was about a month ago, which means he spent a good four months spamming SaidIt.

That's one-hundred-twenty days, and if he was working half of that (60 days): he'd'a made $900 as a level 1 shill, $1,020 as a level 2 shill, $1,140 as a level 3 shill, and $1,500 as a level 4 shill. That's not including contributions and engagements (since it's impossible to estimate how many posts he made, replies he got, likes he gave himself, etc.)

But this proves that you should ignore shills entirely. Don't try to argue with them, don't tell them to leave, don't even call them out. Goes without saying that I'll be a bit more paranoid about interacting with people here on SaidIt and elsewhere.

PS: the ILoveCher guy is back, so try to avoid interacting with new accounts that are obviously him, since he could be getting paid, if you do.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-15T01:43:35+00:00

Pornography is exploitation and sedation of the Working-class: the elite lure in impoverished men and women — sometimes underage or close to it — film them having sex, pay them next to nothing, make bank on ads, memberships, or outright selling it, and propagate it to keep the American People too docile to demand real change! The abolition of commercial pornography is in the best interests of the Working-class.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-15T01:42:45+00:00

This guy literally wants to murder me; he ain't gon'o be reasonable. The sole purpose of the Node account is to drive people away and make it seem like SaidIt is just a bunch of psychopaths who want to kill minorities — when the vast majority of users don't.

u/Chipit probably knows more than I do.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-15T01:37:19+00:00

Russia has a population problem, and they decide it's a good idea to let women kill their babies? Talk about counter-productive.

At least he improved the Russian economy and lowered their foreign debt.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-14T04:47:37+00:00

This is why you can't view politics in black and white. Although the Nazis killed a lot of innocent people, they passed laws that protected animals from abuse. Furthermore, Stalin killed even more people than Hitler, but he banned abortion in the Soviet Union.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-14T04:31:35+00:00

These are the same people who say to "believe all women" regardless of the facts, when they make rape allegations against Republicans, but the moment a woman makes a credible allegation against a Democrat: suddenly it's racism!

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-14T02:57:41+00:00

Attacking other users as a site admin on a number of occasions.

Which really means: I have unpopular opinions (like banning liquor) that offend snowflake neo-Nazis, so they have to go cry in their safe-space like a commie SJW.

Like the word anti-extremes implies, ignoring factors like rightness and morality over simply mounting the fence between two positions, then censoring anything too far from the fence.

Ohhhhh, that's what you mean. I agree with what you're saying, then, since Magnora7 did ban people and subs for being "too extreme" and I don't think he should'a done that. I thought you meant the opposite: that non-right-wingers should be banned.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-14T01:37:10+00:00

He does the same thing to me LOL. Airbus is really a character...

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-14T01:33:49+00:00

Try to make a counter-argument.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-14T01:09:39+00:00

Nazis are such snowflakes.

u/Horrux had an emotional meltdown on me, like a toddler, just cause I politely told him to re-read the post he was replying to. He's got a few screws loose, so I'd recommend avoiding him too.

Most people on here aren't that emotionally unstable, but the ones who are, are super loud.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-14T00:55:08+00:00

I've never used Ruqqus, so I wouldn't know

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-14T00:54:29+00:00

M7 thought it would be a good idea to make a teenage boy pretending to be a girl one of the admins, and their erratic behaviors drive users away.

By "erratic behaviors drive users away" he really means: I have unpopular opinions (like banning liquor) that offend snowflake neo-Nazis, so they have to go cry in their safe-space like a commie SJW.

Spam on the front page is out of control

It ain't that bad. It's only "out of control" when both the admins — me and Fred — are busy or asleep. Not sure how you expect that to get better by getting rid of me, but okay...

the policy of fence-riding that lingered has kept numbers low

What he really means by this is that he's offended that Centrists like me and leftists like u/socks are allowed to post to SaidIt, so he has to go back to his safe-space and cry every time one of us post.

Not banning people because of their opinions is what makes SaidIt great, and it attracts people from all over the political spectrum. Node and the other s/debatealtright idiots want CCP-level censorship — and that will destroy SaidIt.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-14T00:45:50+00:00

s/debatealtright idiots (like the guy who threatened to ban you) just like to blame me for everything because I'm trans, when all I ever do is remove ads every once and a while. Node really hates me for some reason; he even posted a thinly veiled death threat a few months ago.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-14T00:29:46+00:00

Stay away from s/debatealtright; it's a cesspool.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-14T00:28:49+00:00

There ain't many active members, to be honest, and they don't post all that much.

Funny how the only argument you can come up with to keep using the letter Q is an insult that isn't even true.

Pretty much. Even social media companies that aren't officially controlled by the CPP are full of paid shills.

Oh, yeah, Reddit censors their users heavily. SaidIt doesn't do that; everyone's posts go through unless you change something yourself.

How does reading a news report make you a criminal? I feel like this ain't about the story itself, but rather about setting a precedent they can later use to identify the readers of stories that hurt the image of the federal government.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-12T02:23:20+00:00

Yes, he did.
The real Loki88 quit a few months ago after being doxed by the iron right.
His writing style is way different; the real Loki used a special font all the time and a bunch of emojis.

For these reasons: I believe it's someone else. It could be someone who got banned, someone with a grudge against one of the admins, or just some neckbeard from r/AHS.

This has nothing to do with QAnon, but that would be an exception, since the Q refers to Q-level clearance, so it wouldn't make sense with a C or K.

I do wonder why it's called Q-level clearance, though.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-10T20:55:36+00:00

The results are actually worse and more deceptive than google

Sounds like so'm a big tech shill would say. Google more heavily censors their results than DDG (I'm critical that they do at all), Google manipulates which results show up first with "algorithmic fairness", and Google tracks their users heavily. DDG also doesn't pour money into woke bullshit like Google does.

You can say it's almost as bad as Google or no better than Google, but you can't say it's worse than Google — that's objectively false.

Why are there so many big tech shills on SaidIt? I guess we finally matter enough for Firefox and Google to start pouring money into shills.

There’s a reason why brave is generally advised against on privacy subreddits

Probably because, ya know, big tech pays shills to spread lies about the competition. It's obvious that the poster is a Firefox shill; they say that Firefox has better security features than Brave, which is objectively false, and if they actually cared about privacy: they'd be promoting Waterfox.

I find it highly suspicious that ninety percent of people who say "Brave is not private" promote Firefox, and refuse to mention Waterfox, Vivaldi, or any other privacy-focused browsers.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-09T21:30:35+00:00

You're an Ancap, so I was just using language I thought you'd understand.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-09T21:25:06+00:00

No shit, you tell everyone all the time.

Not everyone knows that, Dino. I know that you do, but you ain't the only person who reads my comments.

It seems like attention seeking behavior.

We're literally discussing an article about the LGBT Community, you brought up transgenderism, and being the OP, it ain't like I can just ignore you — but I might ought'o if you're gon'o act like this.

Do you have an identity or personality besides being trans?

And then you immediately say:

You're a programmer

Also, I thought the argument LGB people like you always make is that sexuality and gender identity ain't the same thing, so the LGB and T should be separate — but I guess I'm wrong?

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-09T21:18:39+00:00

You want one without a dick

No, I don't.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-09T21:17:40+00:00

It was loki88 spamming the same thing over and over. I took care of it.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-08T20:40:30+00:00

The L and T aren't compatible, it is a troubled union anyways even if the left hadn't become so ironically intolerant of wrongthink. Although I don't know anything about the "drop the T" movement.

I'm transgender, but even I recognize that sexuality and gender identity ain't the same thing, and if LGB people want to be against transgenderism: they have a right to be.

I could stay in the subs that love and agree with me (I mean, relatively more than tumblr) but I wouldn't be changing any opinions there.

You can't change people's opinions when they don't even let you speak — and even if they would let me speak: they would not listen!

A lot of these people are teenagers, who've rejected religion, culture, and heritage, and fill the void in their identity with pornography, and become so obsessed with it that all they ever talk about is sex.

and controversies like s/debatealtright being removed from s/all

Relax. This cropped up randomly, we've been off /all for like four months already

Yeah, but I don't like the idea of taking subs of s/all when they didn't break the rules. Regardless, I already talked with u/JasonCarswell about this before I was made aware of the controversy, so I just added it on last minute.

but with the site randomly going down, the head admin nowhere to be found

This is the main problem

That's true; it's what I talked to Jason about.

If it's really that cheap, and I wanted to do it, I would just front it for free.

Yeah, that's the plan at first, but it'd need to upgrade after a while, to handle higher traffic. I'm also obsessed with efficiency, which is why I want to find a way to make it self-sufficient. I tend to overthink every little detail, to be honest.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-07T05:16:03+00:00

Holy shit. This is a site admin public declaring the site compromised and the owner a ghost.

I'm just telling it how it is. I've voiced a lot of these criticisms before, but this is the first time I've put them all in one post. Magnora disappearing wasn't a surprise, to be honest; he doesn't deal with the stress very well. It's probably for the best, but he should'a told someone.

However, it looks as though it is almost not possible for a single "entity" to do this; attackers in many forms drag these sites into the mud, incite mutiny, post racism and hate and pornography, ddos, etc.

The troll problem is caused by how easy it is to make new accounts, which can be fixed by imposing stricter requirements. DDoS attacks ain't really a problem for SaidIt, since Cloudflare tends to do a good job at preventing those, but it would be a problem for a new site.

Decentralization is always better for stability, though.

Are the owners burnt out?

I think so.

Maybe engaging with the users in formation of rules is a fruitless endeavor.

Yeah, it usually is. The rules should be decided before the site goes online, and be changed very rarely. Enforcement should also be to the letter, which ain't what happens on SaidIt. Folks have to know what to expect.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-07T04:58:28+00:00

Yeah, it is.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-07T02:17:32+00:00

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-06T23:45:23+00:00

That's a good solution. I personally prefer the way traditional forums do stuff, where the front page is just a list of topics, and posts are sorted by new.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-06T23:44:17+00:00

I don't think they were saying that unironically — and besides, that ain't better evidence than having a vagina at the age of thirteen, without any kind of parental support.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-06T23:42:54+00:00

I still need a source, if you want me to believe you. (Unless this is a joke and it's going over my head.)

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-06T19:47:26+00:00

Considering how their whole business is putting decorations on cookies, it ain't woke for them to make LGBT cookies — so long as they also make straight pride cookies, Christian cookies, pro-life cookies, and confederate cookies... which I'm sure they don't. They have to cater to both sides, or it's discrimination.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-06-06T19:31:46+00:00

Scrolling through their profile, it's seems like she's a heterosexual, cisgender woman. Do you have any proof she's trans? She never says she's transgender.

She talks about having a vagina when she was thirteen; it's highly unlikely she had SRS at such a young age without her parents' support.
