Galenbo:
"Mojochan our resident feminist obsessed poster will drag it into the toilet."

But compared to how that guy is the champion in badgering and commenting on others, the comment on him was still really friendly.
No need for him to pull the hurt victim card.

I'm really surprised Dave has put up with him for so long.

EEVblog:
Moderation is not "black and white", and moderators cannot view every thread, it's primarily a report based system.
By not black and white, I mean that those who have a history of something on the forum will not be cut the same slack as everyone else, as it is often clear they will never let up on topic and will ultimately drag it down into the toilet. This is the case here, Mojochan has a history in feminism/sexism/gender threads and simply will not let up on the subject, so I shut it down. I do not want it going off-topic and polluting the Unread Posts list.
Same thing happens on other topics like conspiracy theories or religion for example.
I do not want to ban otherwise good and productive posters because they have a pet off-topic subject they won't let up on occasionally, that can be delt with in other ways.

Otherwise you wouldn't have time to make videos

It's my "attitude" that allows this forum to operate as smoothly as it does. I think it's working pretty well.

And what's the problem with that? It's a perfectly legitimate and sensible way to run a forum.
If someone who has no history of getting carried away on say politics or religion make a few posts on that topic, then moderators don't have to be too concerned that they will escalate the thread and there is a good chance the thread will just die out.
But if someone with a known history of banging on and on and on about a particular topic jumped into a thread about that and starts, there is a very high chance the thread will get out of control. Hence they might very well be told to stay out of the thread, or the thread might get locked, or at worst, put on temporary ban (rare).

Rubbish, cite proof.


--- Quote ---Apparently there is nothing I can do or say to change this.

No, because your actions have spoken well enough for you in the past.
