Mods like to selectively choose when rules apply.
Rule 1.
The following activities are unacceptable on WrongPlanet:
1. Posting offensive language, comments, video, or images.
Unacceptable content includes swearing; racist, sexist, homophobic language; behavior intended to provoke or belittle other members; violent or sexually demeaning content; sexual fetish; and discussion of excretory function. Posting graphic images or videos of people or animals being harmed is prohibited.
Reply-
So this rule is skewed so that Makunarblahblah can tell people they aren't allowed to "attack" people using a parody website.
http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt100223.html
But, where was Makunarblahblah when someone was actually putting down autistics here? Can anyone see the hypocrisy? I've already shown this rule taken out of context and twisted so SB could lock a thread but look at this one and tell me why he wasn't there instantly to tell this person to back off?
http://www.wrongplanet.net/postxf100080-0-30.html
Someone from that thread named Jemir was banned. After looking at his prior posts, it was obvious he was banned for his reply back to the OP who has made more than a couple of hate threads against autistics.
2. Personal attacks.
This includes insinuation, ridicule and personal insults, regardless of whether direct or indirect. Attacking an opinion, belief or philosophy is acceptable, but attacking the person making the comments is not.
Reply-
Mods are selective with this one too. So back to Jemir, was he banned for his comment back? Why wasn't the OP banned the moment he started bashing autistics on an autistic message board?
Makes no sense.
3. Other inappropriate content and behavior prohibited on Wrong Planet:
This includes copyrighted material, serial codes, and posts made to promote a website, group or product, particularly if made repeatedly and without other participation in the WP community (spamming). This also includes discussion of locked topics, discussion of banned members and why they were banned and anything else that purposely causes conflict with other members.
Reply-
So if members were unfairly banned, you can't talk about them or ask? Why not?
What if a member was banned injustly and there was a mistake?

Who would ask Alex if they could have sock puppet? I doubt just any regular member could get that permission.

They are way too "rule-meister"ish. It seems every question is answered "ZOMG! Teh Roolz!"
ReplyDeleteI like rules as long as they aren't twisted into something clearly not intended or only put into effect when it pertains to one person but not another.
ReplyDeleteI was shocked when I first found this blog.
DeleteIt made me realise the problems of 2009 are the same today.
What this suggests to me is that it is a toxic culture that has been perpetuated for many years.
I quit posting at wrong planet over the mods. Nothing against Alex. I think what Alex does is great but the mods are ridiculous and this isn't an isolated incident.
ReplyDeleteAlso getting tired of mods saying "you can go somewhere else".
If a mod does not like you he/she will announce you as either corrupt, evil, a monster, a troll, or a victimizer. The op and a few of his/her friends will basically hand you over to your stalker on a silver platter. They will divulge personal information about you including race, gender, location, old nicks and declare that you are either evil or a monster. Suddenly, the person who has been stalking you has some kind of justification/is portrayed as a hero or a good person and it becomes acceptable for them to do so. You keep complaining and something surely does get done. What gets done is you get banned. I have addressed being referred to as a monster and a stalker with Alexander the channel owner and it still continues. It is an attempt to get people to "go somewhere else" as you have put it. There is hidden discrimination against users.If you are a male using a female name and an op does not think you are cute enough, you will be banned/kicked and declared some kind of predator. If you are female and use a male name, it is usually not a problem. If you are transgender and do not fit the look, you will be harassed. Recently, I had a couple of users who obviously appeared to be gather information on me. They asked if I had Asperger's Syndrome. I told them each time that I had no comment. The second one was rather persistent. He also asked me if I was female and asked implied I could be gay. He then stated that I needed to loosen up and somehow let him in. Right in the middle of the conversation, a mod pops in and acts as his personal Henchman by indicating in his support that he does not like the fact that I am not answering his questions. SO WHAT! I have no obligation to even reply at all.
DeleteI want to make a correction. Alexander the channel owner has not addressed me as a stalker or monster. What I meant to say is that I have been called a stalker by ops and a monster by their friends. I am still banned and they still apparently feel it is justified. Basically, they need to mind their own damned business and stop making such accusations without proof. Here is my point. I was accused of victimizing/stalking a woman inside the channel. They stated that I have abused her and that this occurred in Skype. People should be smart enough to know that if someone stalk/victimizes an individual in skype, they more than likely are going to continue to stalk/harass/victimize that same person in the channels as well.In order to obtain proof of such a thing, all they would have to do is watch the conversation in the channel and also request that person give them any future Pm's as evidence of it. Also, an op stated that I would be held "accountable" for my actions elsewhere. My actions are not illegal. They are non of his fucking business. He and another op also stated that the woman I supposedly have abused is not mature and pretty much implied that they were protecting her. If she is an adult and she is able to make decisions for herself, who gives a flying fuck rather or not they THINK she is mature enough to talk to another adult?
DeleteIt only seems to be the Sinsboldly lady who mutters that. On my IP tracker, I noted no less than seven sock puppet users coming from the same IP address, another double standard of the site.
ReplyDeleteMakunarblahblah :O)
ReplyDeleteMakunarblabla was at me right from the start, because I was sick of a guy who wanted a translation of a You Tube video making "sexist" comments about the girl in the video.
At the beginning I translated nicely and then I realized that guy was just being a jerk as he started to make perv. sick comments about the girl in the video.
So that guy was being a perv. pig and I am being warned/reprimanded for telling him in a quite fashionable way.
Today I got warned again from sinsboldy and being accused of being a troll, why, because I did not like a previous post about Jenny Mc Carthy being called a "bitch" and people referring to her various body parts.
Apparently I have been a thorn in their eye for quite some time.
I then opened my own thread on Jenny Mc Carthy and thanked her for what she has done for some families and basically how I disliked the fact that people called her a bitch etc.
My point is:
This was my opinion .
My only crime is defending people who I felt were attacked in a very childish way.
I assumed WP would be a place to go were people are cool about one being opinionated , I guess a planet like this exists nowhere.
Freedom of speech is just an illusion.
There we are invading other countries with the pretence to give these people freedom to speak up and the irony is we can not even do this on a international forum ourselves.
Wrong planet is a failure.
ReplyDeleteI agree. It's just a complete waste of my time.
ReplyDeleteWonder if they will eveer learn.
ReplyDeleteApparently not. lol
DeleteI got banned on purpose. Got so sick of the whining poor me mentality, the mods being selective as to what they'd take action on, and after realising what a sell out Alex Plank is, I just had to go out with a bang and burn my bridges. All it took was posting this: http://autisticsspeak.wordpress.com/2010/10/28/wrong-planets-censorship-defense/ surely if he and others running WP were honest, willing to take criticism, and really there for the users this would have been an appropriate thing to raise in their forum, and worth discussion, rather than just banning the user for questioning the integrity of the all mighty Alex Plank.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable bias on the rules, staff's "friends" or whoever made them feel powerful by kissing their ass, having the opinions that Alex would favor, are treated with vast benefits of never getting warned, banned, or admitted as ever wrong, while the ones who dare to even report their misdemenor are talked of unprofessionally, made to be crazy, all the while fairness and equality amongst members is professed.
ReplyDeleteNeandertals had better rules and respect toward one another.
Mods are overwhelmed and ask members what they suggest they do, without any intention to do anything different.
If you tell them they have acted unfairly and you will address another moderator as you're supposed to, they literally guard their lil dong worms by bringing up huge magical dragons to protect said worms as a warning and speaking in tongues e.g. latin.
While you say everything to their faces, when select people joke about their incompetence in public, it's allowed.
Friend enemy enemy friend, an "enemy of the state" can apologize multiple times, it will never be taken seriously, whilst friends will be said to always be pure and have the best intentions.
Unbelievable double standards, I got multiple warnings there for petty reasons yet a select few members get away with posting worse things, and when I pointed out the double standards to a mod in a PM he just came up with an alphabet of excuses for them in kind of a word salad that I didn't understand, then just pointed out hypocrisy in my posts without understanding the context. Then he had the cheek to say I'm the one who is paranoid but I can see it happening right in front of my eyes and others have noticed too. I had to leave because it was causing mental health issues for my in my daily life, because of being labelled as a narcissist, racist, transphobic, and all this other jargon that I wasn't intending at all. People there are just too sensitive and the place is too over PC. There's only one mod running it now and he's the biggest prick out. I've been a regular member there for years and I was happy until a certain 4 or 5 for all cliquey about a year ago and kept ganging up on me, saying how trollish and racist and everything I was, making themselves victims just for me having a non-offensive opinion on a few things that weren't personally aimed toward a group in particular but it just wasn't PC enough for their standards. It hurt so bad that I had to leave.
ReplyDeleteReason, truth and integrity are a very scarce commodity on Wrong Planet.
DeleteIt is actually a left-wing protection racket.
BTW, I am NOT a conservative, but because I don't fully embrace a left-wing narrative, the bullying continues.
If you value freedom of expression and freedom of thought, Wrong Planet is indeed the wrong website for you. lol
Being called a narcissist, racist, and transphobic, is a standard reply against anyone who disagrees with some people on Wrong Planet. BTW, you forgot homophobe.
DeletePlaying the victim card is a go to for some there. They can attack you but you aren't allowed to defend yourself.
DeleteThings haven't changed over the years, and in fact are getting worse. For example:
ReplyDeleteThe site's admin (given Alex has abandoned the site, having acquied the "social credit" for creating it) has taken to permiting\encouraging attacks on members in the "haven", giving explicit approval for people to "post whatever they want", including direct attacks, there when the target is someone outside their clique.
Users with a decade long history of using racial slurs are permitted to continue doing so, despite rules claiming it is a bannable offence, because of the targetted race and because they share the political views of the moderators\admin.
Rules are only enforced against those favoring the moderation team's side of politics when an explicit demonstration of broken rules are supplied, whereas anyone outside that clique will be "punished" for posts which strictly abide by the rules, simply because the admin\moderators don't like the user who posted it\the views do not align with their politics.
Rules are created mid-thread and left there to be called up months\years later against those outside the clique. When they are called up, there is an "expectation" targetted members should know these rules (despite being buried mid thread in a post many pages into history, not published with other site rules), while the admin attempting to apply them isn't able to state them correctly.
Users defending a victim of domestic abuse in the news are personally attacked by moderators who do not wish to believe that the abuser was committing the acts, with the act of the members defending themselves is deemed being "argumentative" and the members banned (with moderators posts and members defences then "deleted" to protect the moderator).
One of the things that are disturbing is the libelling of people that can happen when the mod/admin edits someone's post.
DeletePeople are called racist or misogynistic based on misrepresentation and are victims of maligned intent or misunderstanding of what was being presented.
Of course, trying to clear any problem is pointless, since having a sheriff's/admin badge automatically installs profound wisdom to the person wearing it.
Completely agree. Cuntface, our favorite hero, needs to wipe his butt all over somebody's post denying "possibilities of intent" in the case scenario that it might mean something Alex's extremist gay lookin ass wouldn't like, but at points where it is clear what someone means towards another person the denial is eating away at that same initial ass, and the power is very inelegantly deflated.
DeleteDicktatorship.
DeleteAutistic people tend to affiliate with extremist views, black and white thinking, more clear to understand. To think a view could create THAT..
DeleteDidn't you know, staff can never be wrong.
DeleteAgree. What I said there wasn't racist, but it wasn't left-wing enough, which to them anything not left-wing is racist. When I pointed out there that the site is left-wing, I got a warning from the mod not to say that.
ReplyDeleteEven if I kept away from any PPR discussions I still somehow managed to get warnings from the mod and offended one of the 4 members of the clique. Like one time when they were all saying that you're more likely to get murdered in a busy street than in a quiet place, and as I was explaining why that statement wasn't correct one of the clique gang members got triggered (offended) by my posts because she had been raped or something, and my posts got deleted. So basically you're supposed to avoid any discussion that could have happened to somebody in case it happened to somebody in the thread. But if I had been triggered by a discussion in a thread I bet the mod would dismiss my issue with a load of excuses for them and say that they're not doing anything harmful and that they're allowed to discuss things and that I should "just ignore" it if it triggers me.
I've got a long list of different crap I've had to put up with there. I'd be quite happy to share them but you guys might think Tl;Dr lol.
Ah, yes.."The Clique".
DeleteI find it hilarious that they deny the existence of such an entity. lol
One of the biggest problems with WP is its profound dedication to double standards.
If you are friends with certain people, you get a free pass, even if you are flouting the rules. If not, all hell will break loose. lol
It is very distasteful when the in-group laughs at the discomfort of others and then flaunt their immunity to the rules while others are pounced on.
It seems:
All autistics are created equal...
But some are more equal than others...
Shades of Animal Farm.
This political "apartheid" system is abhorrent, especially since it happens in a purportedly autistic community.
One of the bitches from the clique actually admitted that seeing me in distress there actually makes her laugh, like she enjoys provoking me for entertainment (then she has the cheek to deny the fact that I have empathy). So I think she gets offended on purpose by whatever I post, just to see my reaction and have a good laugh at my expense. And the mods do nothing.
DeleteAnother bitch from the clique makes sarcastic jokes about my posts and the mods just see it as a funny joke, completely unaware that it wasn't a friendly joke, it was a way of mocking me.
The third bitch from the clique always criticises me and expresses that she dislikes me for not being a left-wing wokie.
And the forth bitch is the one the other 3 feed off of like a bunch of maggots. She's a liar and just wants everyone to feel sorry for her with all her mental illnesses and disorders she has and all the illnesses and mental disorders her kids have.
Mocking is a feature on WP, but only if you are friends with the right person/people who will look the other way bc you are part of "The Clique". lol
DeletePerhaps someone should introduce the concept of integrity to these unenlightened creatures. :P
The 4 members of the clique all had a name for me.
ReplyDeleteT said I'm a gaslighter and a victim blamer.
F said I'm transphobic.
B said I'm a narcissist/lack empathy.
I said I'm trolling and offensive.
The 5th one actually left the site in a sulk because she the nicer mod told her off for keep calling me a racist.
Reading this post alone probably makes me look like a bad person but trust me I am not as bad as that, it's just them labelling because they're brainwashed left-wing snowflakes.
There are two mods on Toxic Planet that are decent people. A pity about the admin.
DeleteSounds like the Claudius Cornfuck licking brigade.
ReplyDeleteHow rude. :P
DeleteThere's nothing wrong with a world where more than two genders exist. But I had to read a lot to understand all these things. It comes down to education, speaking to such people, some of my exes were on the gender spectrum, I had a genderfluid ex, i had gay exes, bi exes and a lot of other people I talked to; I think in terms of understanding it's so much better to have more information. Some people have their own opinions.
ReplyDeleteRegardless of reading and asking people I still have confusions, like I don't understand how tomboys differ from agender people and nobody on left-wing haven WP could explain the difference to me. It's like they're more of a joke instead of understanding themselves what these things mean if they're so politically hardcore. Nobody even tried to come up with an explanation like ppl do on other sites. Goodbye, wp, so completely useless.
Yes, they got offended if you asked them even though you're just trying to educate yourself to understand better. I asked one because I was confused, and she/he threw a hissy fit and ran to his/her favourite mod who deleted my posts then apologised to him/her for "having to see that". On there you get the same treatment for having an opinion or just asking a question out of curiosity as you would if you had committed a serious crime.
DeleteGender diversity is a very complex subject that many struggle with.
DeleteThat doesn't make the person evil.
If someone attacks a person for not fully understanding something, may I suggest the attacker has the actual problem.
May I also suggest that they keep their sanctimonious, self-righteous, virtual-signalling to a minimum.
I was told by another mod that the rule I was told about by a mod was a lie, that there is no such a rule. It seems like rules are made up to suit explaining away some failure, and to allow the moderator the ability to skip on his responsibilities according to a personal plan.
ReplyDeleteYes I was told that too one time but I can't remember what the rule was. One mod said one thing, one mod said another. I guess it was because I wasn't one of the favourites.
DeleteThese sorts of lies have been a feature of WP for many years.
DeleteSome people have a reputation for dishonesty.
I believe they lack any understanding of the concept of credibility.
They create a thread on a *discussion* forum yet expect all responses to be the same. That's not how discussion works. Attacking is not acceptable but having a difference in opinion or feelings is not attacking, it's just partaking in a discussion.
ReplyDeleteWP is a left-wing echo chamber.
DeleteHow could you not know that?
There was a time where there was a pretty good mix of political views even after the revolution against left-wing terrorism and ageism that introduce new mods and the admin.
It was a false dawn.
I was positive at the time, but eventually, I too had to admit the old ways had returned.
These days you would be hard pressed to find someone who isn't a left-wing partisan.
Meh. Not the greatest tragedy of life. lol
Dah roolz dah roolz that's all the entitled pricks of WP go on about when their stupid wokeness isn't agreed with
ReplyDeleteDa roolz are for some but not for others.
DeleteTalking trash about me to my dangerous stalker and ex and pissing him off more about me after he's threatened to sue me and WP constitutes good rules to site ruling. But wait, he trash talked my stalker too. Also trash talked my new relationship even though there was only positive interaction between me and my bf and it's not new, been going good for years.
ReplyDeleteWe post 'hug' and mod says we are kissing too much, but the bias with others on wp who post anal sex all over the website, their purity is undeniable. Obvious -lack- of standards.
As I said, integrity is a scarcity on Wrong Planet.
DeleteThis is unforgivable.
DeleteThe admin is engaging in areas that is not his concern and is abusing his position.
This is totally unprofessional and causing considerable emotional distress to a vulnerable autistic woman.
You, "sir", are a disgrace.
I suggest you stop playing psychotherapist and leave it up to the professionals.
How is this person fit to be an admin?
Wrong Planet is not a safe place to be unless, of course, you embrace the left of politics.
Shameful
DeleteThat is no longer an autism support network, but a club for cliqueness, favouritism, double standards, frequent porn-related discussions that are often discussed by the same people like it's their special interest or fetish, and seems taken over by troubled people who get offended by everything and drive people away who don't agree with them or tell them the truth.
ReplyDeleteYet some users get warned or banned for mildly expressing their happiness between each other in a nice relationship.
The female leader of the clique is constantly creating ribald posts.
DeleteI don't have a problem with this since I am very open minded.
But I do have the problem with the double stands that are a constant feature of that website.
If you want to do well there, I suggest you put a lot of effort onto making friends with the admin.
Your post may be deleted, but you won't get any progressive warnings culminating in a temporary or permanent ban.
Integrity is a very scarce commodity on Wrong Planet.
Wrong Planet has always been cliquey, apparently.
DeleteHave a look at the above blog posts in 2009.
I think it's disgusting that Alex can say that being called racist is not a personal attack and that if anyone calls you racist under any circumstances then it means you are. I don't agree with this. It just gives certain people the ticket to hurl the word 'racist' around willy-nilly at anyone whom they dislike. It's an encouragement of entitlement. Like when I expressed patriotism for my country using NO racial slurs or hate speech or anything like that, and an entitled member decided to get offended and jump down my throat and keep bringing it up in the rants threads, by posting links to my "racist" posts and screaming "look, see, she's a racist! A RACIST!!!" And wouldn't stop. Then when a mod got involved and took one of their posts down, they threw a tantrum, used the old chestnut "I wasn't talking about that member, was just venting!" even though it was obvious they WERE talking about me personally even though it was dressed in false exaggerations and putting words in my mouth, I still knew it was about me. It was from a SJW woke member who saw everything as racist and could get away with throwing tantrums.
ReplyDeleteThere is little tolerance for anyone who doesn't totally believe in the left-wing narrative. It has become so bad, due to the admin, that their is no point in going to wrong planet if you have an independent point of view that is in variance to theirs. Groupthink and collectivism is king on that website. This is embarrassing for an autistic community.
DeleteMeh, it was a learning curve.
I know who you are talking about. I found the woke tantrums hilarious. It was the only thing bringing me back. lol
DeleteSimple rule of WP: Be woke.
ReplyDeleteStep 1 Be woke. Step 2 Get away with the extermination of the "other" and we'll help ya if you call them nazis. Step 3 Get wasted on your abuse of power and throw tantrums here and there. Step 4 Turn against leadership. Step 5 Ragequit Step 6 Find new victims Step 7 Rinse and repeat Step 8 Threaten and sicken Step 9 Lose Step 10 Wallow in "pain" victimizing yourself wondering how you got from step 1 here and refusing to answer
DeleteToxic Planet may have overdone the purge of non-progressives. They may have run out of people they can try to bully off the website. I don't think the clique thought it through.
DeleteSuggestion: Keep at least one whipping boy for virtue-signalling purposes. lol
For someone intelligent enough to qualify for university, Alex is quite dense at times.
ReplyDeleteThough the term "racist" has as much social power these days as "fascist", it is still a pejorative. How silly do you have to be not to understand that?
The hard left of politics is known for redefining definitions to suit their agenda, and this seem to be another example of that.
It is probably simply another power ploy against anyone who isn't a card carrying progressive.
The racist and victim card is the name of the game there with some people.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I prefer to play poker.
