Yeah, that’s me. I’ve used that nickname since Usenet days in the 90s. I got it from an old school “hacking” program called Game Wizard (an early TSR that allowed you to edit memory, mostly for infinite money / lives type cheats in games but also handy for other things that resulted in me getting kicked out of a private school) which was coded by The Crawler and Red Ninja. By their naming powers combined…!
I still open Reddit every so often, but there’s not much incentive to contribute knowing it’s just going towards making some dickhead money.
I got banned by the mods after they removed my post two ANZAC days ago. I simply asked “What are you doing for ANZAC day ?”.
I obviously upset them by asking them to explain why a post about “where can I get a sandwich” can stay up but my question gets taken down.
My questioning and also my suggestion that some of them need to recuse themselves resulted in a ban due to “zero tolerance these days”. Their words.
I posted that question to the Australian sub and it received a decent amount of interaction, some of it not positive.
So this ANZAC day I made up a new account and asked “In Brisbane, what are you doing for ANZAC day ?” This of course was removed, my questioning then led to a one month ban and I haven’t been back.
Last week to add insult to injury I got a text message on my phone from NoSoulGinger. ( Been a mod for a fair while ) She sent me a screenshot with some unknown to me username abusing a mod. Calling them a “worthless human being” and “see you at the next Meetup, stay safe”. She told me that I…yes me, don’t have to be a “dick” to them. I calmly explained that I don’t use the sub anymore and so no that wasn’t me.
The next day I inquired where my apology was. This caused massive annoyance from her resulting in me blocking her on my phone.
Lol so no, I’m not frequenting that place. The mods are obviously on their high horses and have let the place turn to crap a few of us believe. A different Brisbane sub started up a fair few months ago, I’m unsure how it’s going. One of the Bris mods showed up using his alt account enquiring why there was so much negativity towards the Bris sub and/or mods. I politely explained that if they didn’t ban lots of people for hardly anything that the mods might be a little more popular.
Anyway it’s all quite sad and I don’t lose any sleep over it. Cheers.
