can I please get out of moderation I mean I’ve been a good boy and my original warning expired over a year ago. (I know this thread isn’t for this kind of thing but I couldn’t find a direct link to a mod and this post will never see the light of day without being approved first)
If it helps, I was in moderation for a while. I made some mistakes and realized they were stupid.
I didn’t really try and get out. I just kept on contributing and trying to do so with more integrity.
Eventually, I was set free. I learned a lot from being in moderation. I realized to be very aware of my intention and the impact that it might have on others.
The only reason for being in moderation is that past acts have proven one to be untrustworthy, and likely to provoke chaos. Moderation is a tool to prevent trouble before it happens.
When I was in moderation, I rectified my errors and kept on contributing. When the moderators felt myself to be trustworthy, responsible, conscious and well-behaved in the way I contributed, they released me.
It is always good to question your reason for posting. There are many acceptable reasons for posting. Some authentic reasons are: to give advice on a good lead on a girl, have a moment of levity, health and safety awareness, bring up an unexplored idea or concept, a review, a helpful experience, to uplift a member, et cetera.
If your reason for posting has any capacity to hurt, harm or injure another’s psyche or reputation, or act in a way that might cause any discontent, best to not post at all.
Being in moderation was not so bad, really. Most of what I wrote still got through after being moderated, and a short delay.
There is light at the end of the tunnel. Don’t give up. Just contribute responsibly. Don’t drink and post.
