Draco, he had other existing threads already on the topic, and spamming Talk with his personal complaints about why he doesn’t need to file the rules isn’t a legitimate discussion.
He’d opened multiple threads at that point, spammed threads both public and private, across multiple platforms. It’s a textbook example of spamming a board.
If he wanted a legitimate discussion about policies and procedures that’s one thing, but he simultaneously spammed the same content on discord, members’ emails, the moderators, and multiple threads on talk.
That’s far from excellent behaviour by a member; and filing complaints because you don’t like that you have to follow rules aren’t sincere formal complaints, that’s just a tantrum.
You spammed the threads with existing content from other threads, even admitted you weren’t reading the threads you were posting in (despite having been earlier active in that conversation, and the spam content having been repeated multiple times tin that thread including just a few posts above you). I even quoted you every rule you were breaking at that point.
Bringing up the fact you’re mad you because you have to follow the rules as everyone else isn’t criticism, it’s just throwing a tantrum.
I quoted you several times, linked threads here and in the discussion in my SOI. The fact you refuse to accept that you were spamming the board is part of the problem here, because you refuse to accept that you have to follow our rules.
Except every time we’ve quoted the specific posts, the broken rules, etc you just do some mental gymnastics that somehow they don’t apply to you. Dunning-Kruger abounds.
Give us an actual example of censorship that has happened under the current board and moderators. You’ve been spouting all this stuff off like you’re a martyr, when the behaviour has been that of a child that didn’t get what they wanted.
My point in this thread was that counter to what you’ve stated, it simply isn’t there.
You were spamming and necro’ing a thread with content that had been repeated ad-nausea. That’s not contributing to a discussion, that’s just spamming the board. I even quoted you the rule about it when you complained in my SOI. Your post content was literally just the same quote from the county that had been repeated multiple times, and you couldn’t even be bothered to read the handful of posts before yours to see that.
That is spamming the board, not contributing to a discussion.
(this is just on talk, let alone your spamming of emails and discord, as well as the spamming of flags because you simply disagree with the content)
You additionally continued to spam by evading the thread lock controls, using what’s supposed to be a permission to edit a flagged post to bring it to standards to instead post more spam content.

you started with this post in which you were told this topic has already been beaten to death and nothing new was contributed: https://talk.dallasmakerspace.org/t/we-should-be-open/70676/12
In this thread you proceeded to spam it with content that was quite literally already repeated a few posts above yours: https://talk.dallasmakerspace.org/review?status=all&type=ReviewableFlaggedPost&username=raffi
That’s all I’m going to bother with right now; this is just the immediate items on Talk, let alone your spamming the other venues.
It’s dead Raffi; no amount of tantrum will vanish the fact you were breaking the rules, as quoted to you here: https://talk.dallasmakerspace.org/t/tails-hartnett-statement-of-intent-bod-2020-ama/70317/23?u=hon1nbo
This isn’t an issue of censorship, it’s an issue of a member that refuses to understand that they were breaking posting rules, and rather than carry on decided to continue spamming the forum, filing complaints against those enforcing the rules just for the fact they were enforced, then when you didn’t like the outcome continue to spam the board about how you didn’t get your way.
This is far from the behaviour of an ideal member; it’s not even close to excellent behaviour.
Anyway I’m done; that’s all there is to say on the topic of censorship on talk, because it doesn’t exist. I don’t like that members post outrageous content like the chloronique threads but it’s their right to say it, and it’s a discussion within the confines of its thread. Personally if I tolerated censorship at all it would have been out the window, but we don’t contrary to the belief of some.
An ideal member just follows the rules, doesn’t harass people, and (if they can) contribute back. I don’t think there’s anymore to it.
