Forget Post Removal , Mods Are Going To Posts Ban And Ban Hammer

[Ninurta]

I haven't been over that way for a while.

But I am beyond disappointment with how so many Americans have become so angry, rude, and mean over the election.

I try to avoid any discussion on the election unless I know the person well enough that I trust the discussion will be civil, that neither are trying to change the others beliefs, and the conversation will not end in fist to cuffs, or a lost of a friendship.

I still believe we are being distracted, manipulated, deceived, and we are being played. Those behind the curtain have the one ring.

One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

Things are getting pretty dark.

You ain't seen nothin' yet.

Given the gross mismanagement the US has been subjected to over the past few decades, I'm frankly surprised it has taken this long to piss off the American public.

Just wait 'til you see what that leads to if it continues to go uncorrected.

Hint: someone is GOING to correct it, even if the American public has to take it into their own hands and do the corrections themselves. It's been happening for thousands of years, and will continue to happen for thousands of years more. Heck, it even happened right here, just a couple of hundred years ago.

When folks have had just about a damned 'nuff, they'll make shit happen.

It's never pretty when they do.

I have no faith in man. The government is completely owned and everyone in it. The battle being fought between the citizenry is nothing more than a culling an entertainment for the wealthy and the elite.

What is left after the "correction" I want no part of.

From what you described, I don't see any winners.

I hope they do me a favor and take me out first.

As far as I'm aware the e-mail system is broken on ATS so there have been no new signups since earlier this year and no one with the access to fix it so banning members is like shooting fish in a barrel , at some point the barrel will be empty and ATS will be dead , luckily there's a new site run by former and serving ATS Mods so , ahem , that's handy isn't it.

How things change.

I think I have finally awakened to the reality that while there is nothing new under the sun, all things come to an end.

I began with ATS in 2009. I lurked for a long time before I dived in. It has been a long time since I have had access to ATS outside of the lurking gallery. It doesn't seem at all like it's old self. That is probably why I don't spend much time visiting anymore.

I am really trying to cut back on my online time, so actually, I guess it is good that I don't hang there anymore.

It's been dying a slow, slow death, unfortunately.

We have a new Mud Pit at: https://mudpitpolitics.com that I and a few community members have created.

Not the same, but an outlet nonetheless.

Hope you Rogues are doing good!!!

Thanks, I have bookmarked the site.  

On another note to the mods here: the dark blue links text is impossible to read on the black background.
I have always thought it, just never said anything about it

They're into the next and final steps over there. Stern Nit Picky post removals, etc. New Members blocked and reduced old Members = Attrition by default.

I dunno. I think the U.S. had a pretty good run for a while after they corrected the last time. I'd call that a "win", but you are correct, there are no permanent winners, because the next megalomaniac - like King George or the WEF - is always just around the corner to try folks. There is no end of greedy folks in this world who want to take what everyone else has, and who wants the power to lord it over the rest.

Any generation that thinks it will be the last to fight for it's freedom is destined for disappointment. It's always been that way, always will be that way, and is that way now. Freedom is never free, and no generation can guarantee peace and prosperity for their descendants - those descendants will, eventually, have to fight their own fights as well.

Because the next S.O.B. is always waiting in the wings to try to take them.

I have sad news. "They" will not take you out first. "They" will not take you out at all. "They" have no need to, because going by your first paragraph, "They" have already won the battle for you, in your own mind, where all battles are ultimately won. The only way to get a person to stop fighting is to convince them they have already lost... in their own mind. Convincing them that they have lost - whether they have or not - is the way "They" take the fight right out of a person. "They" will therefore not take you out at all. "They" will instead turn you into a willing servant.

That's how Satan wins, and that is also how all Earthly tyrants win.

"They" can only win in the mind. So long as some fight remains in someone's mind, their victory is elusive at best.

Winston loved Big Brother the rest of his days because O'Brien beat him... in his mind.

They are for me, too. Always have been. I have to mouse over them to get them to turn a brighter color so I can read them.

I got hit with a post removal.

My crime: referring to Walz as "China Tim".

Well, guess what darlings:  That agent has been to China 30 times or more.

HUGE indicator that he is compromised.

But old ATS, gawrsh, just can't stand to see one of the Dem SOBs called out for what he is.

That is just how stupid it has become over at ATS.  The site gets hacked, but priority is post removal and member bans.  Reminds one of the old line about rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Cheers

Just in time for the Election!

Do you notice only one side is constantly hit by these bans.

ATS has been neutralized and this has obviously been planned as a staged assault.

There are only a handful of threads created each day and so the mods can't be having that much of a problem.

Look at who has already been banned and who has not.  That is the real story here.

P

Yeah, the timing is obvious.  As I mentioned before, priorities are whacked there.

Personally, I'd have thought the line through the original logo should have told the members a lot.
