I made this post yesterday:

https://poal.co/s/TellPoal/238852

Was level 11, had no mark at all and had something like 7 downvotes ever versus something like 1000 upvotes. I noticed they had marked and banned somebody who had made a brand new account with 0 downvotes ever. I remembered the mods saying how it was an algorithm that automatically labeled you with the tag I now have and then nukes you account. The same exact thing happened to . I wanted to be able to trust the mods here but after knowing for a fact they are just straight up lying it’s sad. I went to bed some time after making that thread above, had not made a single downvote in days and definitely not since making that thread. So not only do I know that an account with 0 downvotes can get the mark but now an account like mine that hasn’t downvoted in days and not since I made that thread can also get it. It just proves the mods are doing it. It’s not an algorithm at all, they just mark and nuke whoever they don’t like. And then I’m being accused of having alts. No, this is literally the only account I have ever made on this website and the mods know this but just do not care. I don’t know why they would lie like this. Just straight up say “yeah we don’t like you so we mark people we don’t like and nuke their accounts.” It’s that simple. Don’t just lie and say it’s an algorithm when it’s not. It’s just pathetic. I now know for absolute certain it has nothing to do with downvotes and everything to do with mod discretion. It’s funny. AOU literally marked my thread with the flair “fake news” and then nuked my account proving me right.

Please stop yelling at me, I have been drinking.

No, I did not read the entire thread. I hear you and I understand what you are saying. I'd like for AOU to speak up on this. Perhaps there is a reason we are unaware of that is reasonable.

Could be something as simple as his dog died and he did something he should not have done. I'd give him a pass if that happened and he was adult enough to say so. As well as put things back the way they were... and gave me one of those tags like the suspicious behavior tag but instead it says cunt.

Could be something as simple as he doesn’t like me and nuked my account and blamed it on an algorithm which is what he did.

This is true. Could be. Lets see what he has to say. I hope this all turns out to be something like a misunderstanding. After all, if there is one thing ex-goats wont do, its support a site that would do what you are claiming.

If it turns out that way, almost every, if not all ex-goats will go away. If that happens then I could see some bears doing the same. The gravity of your charges alone could do harm if wrong or right. There are little repercussions for you either way. Poal and AOU could have to deal with a lot either way. I suggest focusing on asking AOU to explain in detail how this came to be. Again, I hope its a misunderstanding and there is no harm in giving him time to reply.

Listen to OP. Poal.co/u/AOU/comments see for yourself. This is a man child.

Lol you people and your “let’s see what he has to say.” Look at his behavior dude. Go look at his post history. He’s a piece of shit. He was caught lying and now is acting like a toddler. People are lemmings. I am not lying and I fucking hate liars to an autistic degree. He is a power hungry child blaming his actions on an algorithm. That is the truth. If not I who convinces people it will be somebody else.
