Don't do things that got the previous one locked.

Oh, so no chance then, eh?

Weren't you a mod once?

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Was it a mercenary mod that closed the previous one? Seemed like ours were letting it play out. No message about "this is closed because you guys can't keep it together" or whatever.

I was very drunk for a few months, my memory of that time is very hazy, I may have done some things I regret

Everything was great until a couple of posters pushed it over the edge. Negan even commented on it that conversation was civil until then.

I probably would have just deleted the posts, but if somebody reports something and the globals see it first, they take action, and they're generally gonna be much stricter. I was arguing on the internet back when everything was almost entirely unmoderated flamewars, so my tolerance is pretty high, but let that be a reminder that where I'm generally happy to let people argue, if things get too far the boy boys can and will crack down.

If only hf had a separate section where you could discus ‘serious’ topics like gun control they would normally break the general no politics rule. You could even quarantine it by not listing it with the rest of the boards on the main page.

If only.

What kind of ultra-cisgendered nonsense hellscape is this?

Ya know what, I'm gonna leave it.

That's accountability! Bravo!

Lol funny you say that, decent segment of hockey Twitter has been all a kerfuffle today about how straight white men have never done anything for the sport

Yeah I mean I thought it was a great conversation. Then it got a little testy is all. I mean really, what is the big deal- if I were moderating I'd just chastise the offenders, maybe delete a post or two and move on.

Sir, this is the Carolina Hurricanes sub-board on a NHL discussion forum.

I guess I got some kind of shadow ban. My account is completely locked down from doing anything but commenting but have zero message, warning or indication on why


Super cool

It may be worth posting about it in the support forum. They’re usually pretty good about fixing issues promptly.

There's nothing affecting your account, also shadow bans are punk moves we dont use those.

Most likely you have a buggered regional Cdn, happens occasionally. Your nearest caching server has downloaded a effed up copy of the website so something isn't working (JavaScript probably). Or you accidentally disabled JavaScript yourself.


Try an incognito window, if that resolves it the issue is likely in your browser/cache. If it doesn't resolve it, proxy/Cdn issue which usually resolves on its own in 3 or 4 days.

This is exactly what someone who had placed a shadow ban on you *would say*, though...

"should resolve itself in a few days"

Gotcha... Thanks for looking into it, appreciate it

I was pretty impressed at how civil it was.

Been happening to me tntermitantly for weeks now. Sometimes if I close out and come back it’s ok. Do you get a verification request for your “likes”?

And the fact that a "global" mod who we never see has this thread under surveillance...

Just wanted to let you know that I was able to check again today on a different computer and I am not locked down on that one, so its definitely something with the other one. Once again, appreciate the feedback!
