Hello!

Are you angry? Befuddled? A little frustrated?

Stay right there! Don't hit that new topic button just yet!



Frequently-created Topics
Evil DT members
Hang on... There's a problem with the system, right? A DefaultTrust member has sent you negative feedback and now you're angry!

Before you get to Hulk Smashing around the forum and creating threads about how you don't deserve the red trust and how instead, the DefaultTrust member actually deserves it. Because they're a scammer. Right?

But why do you only care now, when you have red trust?

Because you are retaliating. Because you feel that you have been wronged. Perhaps you are right.

However... if the thread that you are going to post is only going to contain insults and lashing-out at users without evidence to prove that YOU don't deserve the red trust, then your thread will be useless.

  • If you do not have solid evidence to back up your case, then it will be dismissed.
  • If your evidence is not related to your situation but is concerning a DefaultTrust member, then it will be dismissed.
  • If your evidence is based on circumstantial evidence in regards to the way the forum operates, then it will be dismissed.

Most importantly: wait 24 hours before you create any reply.
                                     you should be thinking clearly before posting.
                                             acting like a fool really does not help your case.

Regarding Moderation
Mods are censoring me! Mods are biased! The forum is c̳̔or͡ru̍p̏͟t! Noooooo

No. Not really. Moderators don't moderate scams. They also handle moderation through reports and most are unable to target specific users or threads to remove.*

*this changes in egregious cases but if you aren't spamming like crazy, then it most likely does not concern you

Regarding biases, perhaps you posted an off-topic reply in a thread? Usually, this is about DefaultTrust members. If so, refer to the previous section.
Topics about people belong in Reputation. Topics about the forum belong in Meta.

The forum is not corrupt. It is privately-owned. If you are planning on making a thread about corruption, don't.
Regarding Forum Conspiracies
If you have a feasible solution to making a part of the forum better, please post it in the Meta section.

If this is about specific users, refer to the first section.

If you are just complaining about the system, don't make a thread.
TL;DR: you probably don't want to make a thread.
