Why are we gatekeeping Shitposts?

Postby mdb1023 » Sun Jan 13, 2019 1:35 am

I've noticed a few threads that have been closed because the subject is "Looking for a Boyfriend" or something to that extent. The only response i've seen regarding why it was closed is because: "This isn't a dating site"

Well no shit! Of course, but this isn't exactly a forum where posts should be taken seriously, and I've made at least 5 threads here that were about my love life (or lack thereof) without issue, so I guess my point is: what gives?

Also single and ready to mingle here, so seriously hit me up

It's because moderators are not given a real line between shitposting and 'fun'. They remove threads they want to and let the ones they like remain, which is something I've always had a problem with. If they don't like a particular person in this section for whatever reasons then you'll see their threads being closed down much more often than the people posting similar threads whom they like. Examples:

1. I keep being banned then unbanned due to the fact this grey line exists and it's clear 90% of the mods do not like me.
2. They cover up wrongdoing on their end so they don't look bad. Spoiler: Image
3. Other mods disagree with how things should/should have been handled: Spoiler: Image
4. It's much easier to get rid of the 1 person that you don't like than trying to accept them for who they are.

So next time you see this form of "gatekeeping of shitposts" just know it's not the shitpost that is being censored, it's the person they dislike that is being censored.

Note to the mods: not ranting against you guys don't try to ban me again over this. I'm allowed to comment on what he said.

Lol Raz what drugs are you on man, don't hog for yourself.

Fyi using screenshots from almost 2+ years ago aren't strong defenses for your argument.

Maybe because "shitposts" were never funny and should just be eliminated from living on this planet.
