I wouldn't assume that Black complained. The moderarion has changed and this could have been a well-intentioned error. Or someone else could have complained. Or maybe Black did complain but all they did was remove his name, right? No harm no foul.
$tevie-
I don't need to assume (nor presume) that Black was the complainant. The moderator private messaged me that it was Black making the complaint. No error there and it wasn't "someone else" that complained. Quite ironic considering his protestations about complainants and some sort of "right-wing conspiracy" to shut down this forum.
But let's look back on this...

I probably reported posts a few other times, but as a rule I wouldn't resort to that because it is indeed tattle taling.

But don't forget we have a few individuals here who have been working to disappear this forum, so not everybody who casts this side in a negative light is being genuine.

So they intentionally provoke and provoke until they have a reason to hammer the "report' link and complain to Larry directly that everyone's mean to them.

They have been numbered for a while. The forum ownership very likely sympathizes with the right wing foot soldiers who have been intent on making it go away, so they win.

The parallel universe starts with Howard's fantasy and as an attempt to divert any attention from where that problem actually originated.....

Bottom line is that it's not being used in to the original framework and the small group who continue to utilize it are continually offended and reporting each other.

...nearly all of the same people who report posts cause they have become personal post personal attacks themselves.

This is really about the squeaky wheel syndrome. There will always be a small number of thin skinned posters who will consume a disproportionate amount of moderator time.

However I feel it is very simple to use the TOS. If someone is calling someone else a troll, or a misogynist, or if they are posting a person is fxxxked up because they do not agree with them
remove them from the mix, it's simple stuff.

This is absurd. All the solutions being suggested are punishing the majority because a minority of thin-skinned cry babies are making trouble by harrassing the admins. It's ludricous.

...I dont care who they are.
I never cried for my mommy
If you cannot take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
I have no misapprehensions. I dont care who they are.
Oh, wait, you are one, are you not?
That is hysterical. Now all the protestations make sense.
Are you a secret right winger (according to Howard)?....
In this context, does it really matter who they are?
If they're being a PITA to the moderators, then I see nothing wrong with throwing them under bus/voting them off the island/etc.
Exactly, it does not matter who they are.
Ditch them.....

I am finding it disingenuous to complain that people aren't nice to each other when that is the way it always was.
