But if you're going to be consistent then Tom should have been warned too
I disagree. Tom has done nothing wrong, aside from responding to a shitpost. Your idea of "consistency" is to punish both the bully and the bullied, or to let them both go. Unlikely to be taken seriously around here.
You don't have to change the place, I'm just suggesting using a bit of common sense and discerning the difference between people who are here to spam or be abusive and people who aren't. From the vast majority of my posts it's clear that I'm here to debate.
Sorry, I disagree again. From my perspective, most of your posts make it clear that you haven't quite understood this place, and the three posts you got warned for justify the warnings. I can also see a handful of posts that, if someone were to report them, would likely generate more warnings. So, as far as I can tell, the mods may have looked the other way a couple of times.
Common sense has evidently been used, and priority has been given to upholding our current culture. If you dislike the culture... well, you know my stance on that.
And if a lot of my posts were like that then I'd think "fair enough, I should tone it down a bit"
No, if a lot of your posts were like that, you would have been banned by now.
Look, I get it. You think the rules are harsh. Something something dura lex sed lex. The upper fora are meant to be kept clean. It's what everyone searching for Flat Earth information sees first. If someone previously unintroduced to the subject decides to look into it, we want them to see meaningful discussions, not someone posting images of Pooh or snarky quotes.
If you want to post here, get over yourself, and put your "funny" remarks in the appropriate board. Your warnings will soon be forgotten (moderator discretion!), and you'll be a-OK.
as I said above, I speak as someone who moderates another forum. I know from experience [...]
I'm sorry to hear that you don't like how things work here, but I'm not impressed with your repeated attempts at asserting authority. I don't care about your self-proclaimed credentials, I care about your arguments. And right now, your arguments boil down to "I don't want to change this place but you should change this place"
