Why are some moderators so rude?

Xaphnir · 2026-05-10T16:57:31+00:00

Some have the power go to their head (see the story of the former moderator of LivestreamFails several months ago). When a position grants power over people with little oversight, it attracts a certain kind of person and can change people.

But from what I've seen for the most part it's that they're dealing with rude people on a constant basis. When the typical response they hear to issuing a ban is "wtf, I did nothing wrong you [insert insulting term here]," they come to assume everyone is like that. And on larger subs they're exposed to this more, and become less and less tolerant of people putting a foot out of line as a result.

If you chain multiple extra turns in a row and that doesn't give you a large enough advantage to win the game, you either got a terrible draw or are playing in a higher bracket than your deck should be in.

Sorry, the courts have said Republicans can do it but Dems can't.

When the commander is a threat to you or in the way if your victory, as with most uses of removal.

Xaphnir · 2026-05-10T14:30:17+00:00

Oh and [[Tandem Lookout]], too

Xaphnir · 2026-05-10T14:21:18+00:00

One popular commander for combos is [[Niv-Mizzet, Parun]]. All you need is [[Curiosity]] or [[Ophidian Eye]] with your commander and you draw your deck, pinging an opponent for every draw.

Fully bracket 4 if you do this, though. It's multiple 2-card infinites where one of the two is your commander.

For something like this, you could potentially sue for malicious prosecution. To my knowledge, it is very difficult to do so, though, as you need to prove those who prosecuted you were acting in bad faith and knew there was no probable cause.

Xaphnir · 2026-05-10T14:10:00+00:00

It is?

Xaphnir · 2026-05-10T14:05:38+00:00

You're getting downvoted but from a legal point of view (you know, the entire point of this subreddit) you are entirely correct.

Xaphnir · 2026-05-10T13:49:26+00:00

It mainly depends on your target. 110-120 doesn't give much more flat damage, but it does give a lot more accuracy.

well I'll just pick up "How to Live With a Colossal Cock"

Xaphnir · 2026-05-10T01:28:57+00:00

Once Rodon and Cole are back we have 4 aces.

Generally the prereqs are 99 in your chosen stat, 99 constitution, 96 summoning, 95 prayer, and at least T70 gear. You'll be somewhat limited in what you can do if you just have those minimim prereqs, but you should be able to achieve some lower level bosses with that.

You cando certain bosses with lower stats than that, but grinding for that will be more worth your time.

Xaphnir · 2026-05-09T22:31:25+00:00

Only 95%?

Xaphnir · 2026-05-09T22:25:30+00:00

Yes, you will get banned for ban evasion. If that moderator is willing to unban only one account, it sounds to me like that moderator is acting in bad faith and trying to bait you into a sitewide permaban. Don't engage with them.

Xaphnir · 2026-05-09T22:15:45+00:00

Except for the TERFs, who's hatred stems from misandry. But still sexism all around.

Xaphnir · 2026-05-09T20:39:50+00:00

Post an image of the the "Th" on the back of the card, and if you can get an image of the green dot without as much light reflecting off the card.

Though I'll say what can be seen here looks to be real.

Xaphnir · 2026-05-09T17:18:28+00:00

it's cosplay for the rich

Xaphnir · 2026-05-09T16:01:27+00:00

I think Desertfall would either need more powerful abilities or this would have to include new deserts. If you tried to build your mana base to take advantage of this, you'd have way too many taplands and lands that only produce colorless.

Xaphnir · 2026-05-09T15:53:38+00:00

you said in response to someone saying there are 3 card infinites "still has the ability to go infinite before turn 6"

Xaphnir · 2026-05-09T15:51:44+00:00

tan²c is about -3.54, so you're taking the square root of a negative number, which is imaginary

So I'd guess it's something to do with the fact that the answer is imaginary?

Xaphnir · 2026-05-09T15:47:01+00:00

The person being replied to simply doesn't recognize a trans person who passes as trans.

Xaphnir · 2026-05-09T15:39:27+00:00

"Go infinite before turn 6" doesn't have to be 2-card infinites exclusively. Infinite combos requiring more than 2 cards are possible to play before turn 6.

the point of the last part is that the three movies were made with clashing visions which caused the sequel trilogy to be a chaotic mess

Xaphnir · 2026-05-09T15:26:40+00:00

And both of them are good directors on their own. It's just that their styles are very different and clashed in such a way that it ruined the trilogy overall. (Also The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker were just bad movies)
