But the rules will continue to be called into question if they aren't applied fairly across the board. All that's being said is either allow trolling/flamebait completely or properly penalize those that partake in it. The forum can't have it both ways and expect everyone to just...not notice? When you have a notorious troll in this thread openly bragging that the mods are turning a blind eye as they break the rules, how are others supposed to take that?

When you have a notorious troll in this thread openly bragging that the mods are turning a blind eye as they break the rules, how are others supposed to take that? It came straight from the horse's mouth, not mine That was my point—the rules have never been "applied fairly across the board" on ATRL (or, frankly, on any forum ever to exist on the internet). You'll recognize that the longer you're on this forum, but it's not that big of a deal, really. Like I alluded to earlier, everyone is just doing their best and the forum is only run by a handful of real-life people who aren't robots that can deal out IRON-CLAD JUSTICE for ever single poster for every single situation. They are humans, bringing in their own biases to judge subjective situations. That's all. The rules are only guidelines and ATRL goes through phases were rules are strict and where rules are relaxed. We seem to be in a relaxed phase. Enjoy it while it lasts. But, I understand your frustration, @Graffiti .

January 5Jan 5 ATRL Moderator comment_28726202 4 hours ago, Graffiti said:Don't you have the power to do just that? They're breaking the rules every single day...and I think it's a fair question that people are asking why they were brought back when others are banned for the same infractions. The rules state one thing, but then exceptions are made. The legitimacy of the rules we're all expected to follow hinges on them being applied fairly and without bias. DMF exists solely to get a no-longer-relevant pop star dragged every single day, whilst pretending to stan them. That's the bit they've been doing before some of our new members were even aware of pop culture. There's no rationale to it. I could see if they were funny, maybe they once were...but that's clearly gone out the window.4 hours ago, D.M.F said:Who even are you? Are you like the ex mod Lipton who DM'd boys for nudes? I didn't get a single warning since October until today from you lol.My slate's clean now. Rian and Lee!! rightfully brought me back. I've had 0 bans since I came back. 3 more to go baby.@Graffiti I agreed to them coming back, and while annoying I will wait until they reach their 10 active WP ban like other members. It does need to be fair@D.M.F as far as I'm aware, you get one 10WP ban, not three. That was the condition of you returning from your permaban.

January 5Jan 5 Author ATRL Administrator comment_28726541 I’m super irritated at the pearl clutching and demanding of answers when people need to be concerned about themselves.As has been stated repeatedly, DMF did NOT have a dupe. We have often brought back formerly banned members for non-ZTP violations and we will continue to do so in the future.Furthermore there are internal team discussions that need to remain internal and not discussed publicly due to issues like targeting.If you don’t want to engage with DMF put them on ignore. Flamebait is allowed in base and has been for years. If they cross the line they’ll be warned or banned like everyone else.This is the only time this will be addressed.

I've followed multiple but I never get notifsThe reason you might not get is that you haven't selected the method you want as email or as a notification for that click on the follow button and you'll see notification settings. Next you'll see Method to use for content I follow automatically since you want a notification on the site click "A notification when new content is posted" Next scroll down little bit you'll see "Followed Content" and "Followed members" Just tick the box on the Notification list on both if you want the thread content and members notification on your notifications, then save.
