The mods do lie, even over the most stupid things. This is what I wrote in the first few pages on the first thread:
Those mods don’t know their arse from their elbow. I contacted them once and asked them why they had taken away a certain feature that used to be on the site. They replied back saying they never had that feature at all and wasn’t planning to implement it. I emailed them back with a link to a 10 page thread I made a few years before about said feature. No response after that
I mean, it’s not important but I just don’t get the need to lie over something so pointless!? Or, if it was a genuine mistake or oversight, to fire a quick reply back to say something like “it looks like we did used to have that feature but it was decided to remove it”.
exactly why lie over things, i did what you did anytime i got a warning, i sent them proof of the way they made up a reason for the warning i got that had no bearing on the post , whether they only have certain responses to give i dont know, but their reasons for warnings never matched, i got a ban for mentioning people on holiday and they said mentioning bans is against the rules, which fitted, but then when someone mentioned me being on holiday and i reported nothing happened, the mods even said they thought the person was being kind by warning me about another ban , which is against the rules
like they had told me , so they ban for one reason and ignore it for another , after little things like that over the last 18 months, the last 2 months was spent winding them up, before i told them to delete everything and shove their forum
Thank you for coming back to fully explain your situation. Unfortunately it seems like nothing has changed, it seems to have become even worse. I also keep saying I no longer trust the DS mods, something changed in the last few years and not for the better.
Hey, sod DS, you can now post on TL instead
Good luck to you.
yeah , it was starting affect my mental health , it started about 2 or 3 months ago, i was seeing so many people banned for nothing and the mods then not helping others, myself included, the first couple of weeks by spamming the alert over a real rule break was satisfying, you have it in your head that its annoying them, but then i became obsessed with finding things i could report and prove to them they were not doing their job properly , it just made me feel depressed and really down, obviously lockdown hasnt helped, i think it all sent me a bit delirious tbh
As you say, its good to be away from it all now
