“It’s to zot trolls.
Only the mods can ban someone.”
Thank you... I was curious too. Why would anyone even want to do this? It just creates dysfunction, been there as a moderator and it was a huge unnecessary problem for the host platform.
So it is a roving gang of good old boys who stalk and search out folks to dog pile just because they do not think exactly like they do...
What could go wrong with that? I predict a whole lot of disruption and unneeded hostility and conflicts coming with this concept. Does anyone here ever consider their host before their own personal fetishes?
I have seen this before in other forums. And all it did was create animosity, division, and a whole lot of unnecessary work for admin and moderators required to clean up those threads.
Even watched this concept outright destroy one very popular forum. Owner had to shut it down because it was so dysfunctional and unproductive because of organized campaigns like this practicing sadistic fetishes with absolutely no rhyme or reason.
It ended up being just pure sadistic dog piling just to practice sadistic fetishes. It does more harm to the host platform than good. Been there many times.
If ya don’t like it, uhh, kinda obvious: Don’t join the Viking Kitties Ping List.
You are a newbie, so of course you don’t understand. Observe and learn.
Thank you

It’s ironic ....many zot fetish posters here were also Giuliani supporters who left in a huff in 2007;I think ...to form Wideawakes forum with Mad Ivan...a centrist ....likable Englishman
Their Zot Lust carried to there where they destroyed themselves led by the same nasty posters who’d once held sway here
Howlin in particular....I do hope her soul found peace ...but man she was ugly ugly to me and other anti amnesty posters here
Group think had its pitfalls no question
I’m only familiar with here and the old IMDB boards
It’s an issue anywhere
I used to post on breitbart till they zotted me for challenging their evolving anti Trump posture ...
It was very very nasty here back then and the forum had at least 25-30% more what we’d call woke today over any issue that had a hint of race or minority and additionally Bush worship was simply ...canon.
It’s been a while, but I remember some feminine moron (I won’t reveal her name out of pity) who got all over me because I had listed the flag of Albania as my location or something. She had me pegged as a full-blown Communist spy or something.
I only chose Albania because it was the first flag in the list and I didn’t want to open myself to a lot more communications from my home state than I could digest in the time I had for FR.
She couldn’t (wouldn’t?) accept the explanation as it was too simple and didn’t mesh with her paranoia.
Once you start down the road of cancel culture, it’s hard to see the end around the bend. I agree with Openurmind, the former moderator, Let’s not start this divisive trolling BS again
