BLACKLISTS - What's going on?

Closed

So ... what's going on with blacklisting?
Everytime I comment something, I get blacklisted.
I have just been blacklisted ... for THANKING someone!
What's going on?
Is freedom of speech really gone in 2021? really?

PS: Patience plays a big role in life, but also learning and making mistakes 🤷‍♂️

"Freedom of speech" doesn't work that way.

If I say ... "Hello" to you. And you blacklist me. And another person, and another person, and another one.
I would probably stop commenting, right?
So, wouldn't that limit my freedom of speech?

I'm not talking about saying horrible things, and ... obviously being blacklisted for that. I understand that. But just for speaking!
I've been blacklisted for arguing/ranting - Ok, makes sense.
I've been blacklisted for making mistakes - Ok. It's not completely fair, but understandable.
I've been blacklisted for saying "thank you" - At this point ... what can I do?

Freedom of speech also includes freedom of blacklisting.
If you give that power to the people, you will also see people using it for every kind of reason.

Nothing to really do about it as long as it's part of the site's rules, always expect that you can be whitelisted or blacklisted for any or no reason, and don't let it get to you.

Just be happy that the rule was at least changed a few years ago to work in both directions. So whatever reason they have to blacklist you, they won't be able to interact with your giveaways either.

I guess... Fair is fair.
But it really made sad, honestly, that someone would feel upset for being "thanked to"! 🤷‍♂️

You don't have any particular "criminal record".
Are you the cause of the blacklist?

  1. discrimination against aliens
    (Added by someone who doesn't like E.T.👽👾)
    I've had that happen to me from time to time.

  2. Win/Send ratio problem.
    (Excluded by people's measure)

  3. not following the "description".
    (Sometimes there are rules posted. Sometimes rules are posted, and if you don't follow them, some groups will turn against you.)

In any case, you should read the community guidelines and FAQ carefully, and if you are strictly following them, you should not worry too much about it.

History has proven that there are more repercussions from people who are disgusted with such topics and comments trying to add them to the blacklist.

(Close it early and you'll be fine.)

You can experience it from the logs.

Ok, will do!
There is no sense on having a post for a discussion, if it's going to make things worse.
Thanks!
