Unfair Restriction V

[Decolonize The Left]

Note to all members who feel the desire to post in this thread:

As of this post, I will be instructing all mods/admins to issue infractions to members who post in this thread for reasons other than outlined in the OP. I will repost it here:

This is a thread for you restricted members to question your restriction if you feel that you were misjudged by the mod/admin team, but this is not the thread for your whine fest.Just express your point that you disagree with not overdoing it.Beside restricted members questionning their restriction, this thread is "open" just for posts asking for clarifications from the members in question.So if you dont fall in one of the above "categories" then simply dont post in here.This threads have been a pain in the ass of mods to mod it.
So dont spam, dont post pictures, and dont make 100 posts whinnying for your restriction, we get what you are saying from the first time.

So in short, you may post in this thread if your post involves the following:
- Appealing your restriction which has not already been appealed within the past 6 months. This consists of your personal posts which demonstrate a) why your restriction was unjustified and/or b) how you have changed since.
- Requesting clarification for your restriction. This refers to the rules you violated and the evidence against you. You are entitled to one post unless that post receives no responses, and/or, the responses at hand do not meet the criteria outlined above.

Any other posts made in this thread, including posts made by the member in question upon making the original appeal/clarificatory post (i.e. debate posts), will result in an infraction.

Once again, post in this thread for reasons other than those outlined in the OP as well as those outlined in this post, and you will receive an infraction.

Have a lovely day.

What were you restricted for? Why do you think you shouldn't be restricted?

Well, I made a big post in the last thread but uh.....that's gone now.

I was restricted for transphobia, I'm no longer transphobic.

I was restricted for transphobia, I'm no longer transphobic.

This is the post Jack is referring to, from the recently closed UR thread:

I'm back after a long while away, and would like to be unrestricted. Essentially, this is what happened and why I believe I should be unrestricted.

Originally I was restricted for transphobic arguments I made in a thread (the name of which I don't remember). Since then I've realized the idiocy of my comments and would like to apologize to all I offended while I was there (if they still remember me).

During restriction, my IP (but not my account, and this is a new computer) was banned by a user named Ismail (who I'm sure most of you know). The reason was for creating a double account, which I admit to (and I believe has since been deleted), but the reason stated by Ismail for my creation of that account was to "troll Hoxhaists". This is false, during the creation of the account I was talking to Ismail, who I considered a friendly associate at the time (as we regularly conversed over AIM), and he supported it's creation so I could play the Balance of Power game he hosts in Chit Chat regularly.

With this account I made two posts total, one saying I was a Hoxhaist. This was a way to poke fun at Ismail, as he is a Hoxhaist and I was an anarchist at the time. Days later, Ismail and I got into an argument in which we ceased speaking for several months, and after it I was IP banned from accessing RevLeft.

I believe I should be unrestricted from the primary RevLeft website because I have retracted my original transphobic opinions, and I can contribute to the RevLeft community more so than I can being restricted. Additionally, as per the RevLeft forum rules, multiple accounting is only punishable by a warning point, not a complete IP ban. What has kept me from this website since November of 2009 has been moderator irresponsibility, not any ideological differences that would deter me from visiting.

Why am I restricted?

[Dean]

Why am I restricted?

Because you support centralized, unequal power structures. Though maybe you should be unrestricted since your arguments to that end are some of the lousiest we've seen here!

[Havet]

Because you support centralized, unequal power structures.

Why are you unrestricted?

[Jazzratt]

Why are you unrestricted?

To be fair, I should be issuing you an automatic infraction. I'm not going to because I'm considering this a "grace period" where people who are used to unfair restrictions threads being full of all this kind of toss. Riddle me this, though, when you read this post:

Did you think that AugustWest had written it for his health?

Right. That's it, next offtopic post, no matter how inocous seeming (even a response to the rhetorical question above) will be immediatly infracted. Any whining will not be tolerated.

Why have I been restricted without even making any posts? I sent a PM to one of the administrators asking for clarification about whether my views, (third worldism), were considered an OI, and what I can post without danger, and was immediately placed on restricted status.

If third worldism is really considered so noxious that it cannot be tolerated in any form, I would be happy to not post anything at all about it. But I don't see why merely believing first world workers are not exploited under the LTOV is grounds for restriction.

Whether you believe it or not, it plays no matter.Your restriction stands until you change your ideas.

[Jack]

Uh, soo......

[#FF0000]

There's a thread~

[Decolonize The Left]

Uh, soo......

Jack, there is a thread currently running in the Moderator's Forum to discuss and vote on your possible unrestriction. You will be notified upon its conclusion.

Apparantly I've been restricted due to my views on Yellow Socialism. They said it was proto-fascist. That is incorrect. It is a strain of socialism coined by a French socialist. If at worst, it is in the loosest sense proto-syndicalist. A mod accused it of corporatism but that would take quite a wide, wide, generalized definition of corporatism, and I disagree with that charge. I am a leftist and a socialist.

[#FF0000]

Yeah, no. Type up a blog or post and clarify your ideas for us if you want, but from what I know yellow socialism, I'm surprised you aren't banned.

Cos it's more fun if there's strangers.
