This topic was literally CLOSED BY A MODERATOR.
You want to know why?
BECAUSE THESE ARGUMENTS ARE POINTLESS AND CREATE UNNECESSARY HATE.

The topic was literally CLOSED BY A MODERATOR – so obviously the mods have tools to deal with topics they deem unnecessary for some reason. as another example, if the mods wanted these "ban russians" topics to stop, they could create a post telling us so and even STICKY IT, if it were in any way important to them. SO WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS TOPIC RIGHT HERE – other than you pretending to be a mod? that's what i want to know.

edit: uppercase because it looks like that's the only thing inkydarkbird can read.

I said that the moderator closed the topic due to its potential for hateful arguments.
I believe that the topics about banning Russians are worthless.
Moderators might not think the topics about banning Russians are useless, since their numbers are dwindling, but they nevertheless continue.
I am simply stating my facts and logic and illustrating how topics about banning Russians always use the same arguments and seem to devolve to insults.
If I am acting like a minimod to you, then that is absolutely fine and I really do not care.

No it is not. @bfchessguy is simply not making sense to me by telling me to use asterisks and underscores which do not even work in Lichess and simply look odd.

That is what I see when you use asterisks.

Why did you took it that way, IT WAS an ADVICE nothing else?

lmao

well, i didn't care for your opinion either – but you created a topic on it.

you absolutely are minimodding btw:

They will NOT change their position anytime soon.
So stop SPAMMING to ask Lichess to ban Russians.

i really really doubt the mods need you to make those statements for them.

your topic is definitely even more pointless than the original ones by the way. it will have zero effect. a person pondering creating a ban russians topic will definitely not go to the forums, notice your topic, and then go: oh yeah, if inkydarkbird said so, i will definitely refrain from creating another one of those topics.

so basically this topic right here is nothing than "ban russions" topic n+1, with the added bonus of op being narcissistic enough to believe they can tell other people what to do for no obvious reason whatsoever.

And? You are making statements for the mods as well by assuming that they do not want the topics of banning Russians to stop since they have not yet stickied a message to tell the users to stop.

No evidence of this whatsoever.

As I said before, I was giving my own opinion, just like all the people who ask to ban Russians.
If you call me narcissistic, you are calling everyone else who makes suggestions narcissistic, since I am simply suggesting users to stop talking about banning Russia, which is highly similar to those who suggest that Lichess add or remove a feature.

i have said no such thing. i am suggesting to let the mods talk for themselves.

i can give you plenty of evidence. you ever noticed how nobody reads the faq? the faq are linked right before you create a new topic. so if people don't read those, why the hell would they consider your silly little ego trip topic?

If you call me narcissistic, you are calling everyone else who makes suggestions narcissistic

now you are telling me who to call narcissistic? that won't fly. i am calling exactly one person narcissistic. and that person is the person hiding behind the account name narcissisticdarkbird. no wait, it's inkydarkbird. same thing really.

So you can suggest though when others are doing it's a different story?!
