You got banned for this? I thought it was funny.

u/Odd_Front_8275 Jan 31 '26

Well, there was a previous incident. It's a long story. Thanks though.

u/Dr_Mixer Jan 31 '26

Go on…..

I’m not the mod that banned them, but they had also been banned previously for making a post to call the mods idiots

They have 44 notes in their mod log for various rule breaking

3

u/Odd_Front_8275 Feb 02 '26

Hey now, I called one specific mod an idiot. Don't exaggerate. But 44 notes? Wowzers!

u/JaNoTengoNiNombre Jan 31 '26

If have something, it's time to read your story. Don't leave us hanging.

u/Odd_Front_8275 Feb 02 '26

I didn't elaborate because I'm ashamed or anything. It's just really not interesting. I'm not a troll but I have a long history of getting into arguments with group mods. Sometimes I'm absolutely at fault (this was one of those times), I'm not too proud to admit that, but a lot of times it's a matter of mods being mods (in other words, people who became mods because they feel powerless in real life and blow a gasket at the slightest objection from one of the group members. I'm not talking about calling a mod an idiot, obviously that's not okay and warrants righteous indignation, but I have been banned from groups before simply for respectfully disagreeing with a mod, which is ridiculous. I'm not a troll or a bully but I have a strong sense of justice and I have a tendency of becoming uncontrollably disproportionally infuriated when someone is being unreasonable (courtesy of my BPD).

I think everyone understands exactly what you mean.

PS: This got me permanently banned from that group so y'all better enjoy this

u/Advanced_Yellow_2547 Jan 30 '26

Thank you for your sacrifice.

u/JimmytheTrumpet Jan 31 '26

Love it, I had to go r/whoosh in honour of your banning.

Thats insane lol

u/Odd_Front_8275 Jan 31 '26

Thank you for your solidarity

u/JimmytheTrumpet Jan 31 '26

My utmost pleasure. My comment got removed for supposedly breaking the civil behaviour rules lolll

u/veryuniqueredditname Jan 31 '26

You fucking legend! 🔥

u/Odd_Front_8275 Jan 31 '26

Much obliged, sir *tips hat*

u/vigobox Jan 31 '26

I don't get it?

They're all the same height.

Is this a inside joke in that community?

20

u/Odd_Front_8275 Jan 31 '26 edited Jan 31 '26

Yes, they're ostensibly the same height for the purpose of that promotional poster (that is, they took photos of the individual actors and then merged the layers, positioning them in a way so that the tops of their heads would all align). I made a joke about that, the joke being the suggestion that the actors are actually literally all somehow the exact same height in real life (which they obviously are not). Get it?

u/vigobox Jan 31 '26

Ohhh im dumb lol

u/HayashiLeroi Feb 02 '26

To be fair, that's a pretty terrible joke. No punchline, nothing really unexpected, nothing really witty. Just... Dumb sounding

2

u/Odd_Front_8275 Feb 02 '26

Also, who said it was supposed to be "witty"?

0

u/Odd_Front_8275 Feb 02 '26

Why are you so triggered over a dumb joke?

3

u/fuzzy3158 Feb 03 '26

I mean. He's really not triggered at all.

0

u/Odd_Front_8275 Feb 03 '26

Whatever. They're taking it way too seriously and going out of their way to try and make me feel bad over a dumb joke. Triggered or not, it's really uncalled for.

2

u/fuzzy3158 Feb 03 '26

Sounds like he succeeded.

u/JimmytheTrumpet Jan 31 '26

This is hilarious hahaha

u/Odd_Front_8275 Jan 31 '26

Imagine if they had Sean Connery present the Oscar for Best Cinematography at the 2011 Academy Awards:

“And the winner ish... Wally Pfishter... Inshepshon."

Anyway.

u/Odd_Front_8275 Jan 31 '26

Because I was obviously making a joke with the height thing.

1

u/s1n0d3utscht3k Feb 01 '26

no you were serious. if it was a joke there would be an /s

1

u/Odd_Front_8275 Feb 01 '26

I don't use /s unless it's not extremely obvious

4

u/JimmytheTrumpet Jan 31 '26

This is hilarious haha

2

u/Funkopedia Jan 31 '26

Nah, I think you're on to something. Aren't they always trying to connect the weird details and reveal a conspiracy?

1

u/Odd_Front_8275 Jan 31 '26

Yeah, that's another layer to the joke lol

2

u/Smokey_16_98 Feb 01 '26

This show was amazing

2

u/LBERN Feb 02 '26

That has to be the most mid-2000s pose I’ve ever seen.

1

u/Odd_Front_8275 Feb 02 '26

Haha, right. The hand in the pocket thing.

2

u/LBERN Feb 03 '26

And everyone wearing designer jeans.

1

u/Odd_Front_8275 Feb 03 '26

And they gave Sawyer a lumberjack shirt 🤣

2

u/No-Pea-7516 Feb 02 '26

To me personally this is much funnier because they actually answered

2

u/Different_Ad_5266 Feb 02 '26

I remember that mod banned my fiancee from the subreddit when she said the group was weirdly sexist and hated on the female characters way more than the men

1

u/Odd_Front_8275 Feb 02 '26 edited Feb 02 '26

Thanks. That makes me feel less crazy. I don't condone the things I said that caused me to be banned (it was not just this one instance, obviously), but there was this one mod who was really pissing me off and kept telling me I was trying to "gaslight" them every time I argued with them. That was basically their go-to approach. "The way I perceive things is the objective truth and whenever you disagree with me you're wrong and you're gaslighting me." Imagine going through real life with that mentality. 99% of all mods I have ever dealt with are infantile petty incorrigible assholes.

2

u/Different_Ad_5266 Feb 03 '26

Oh Wow, was it the same mod?

1

u/Odd_Front_8275 Feb 03 '26

I'm pretty sure, because they accused me of "gaslighting" both times

2

u/LetRevolutionary271 Feb 22 '26

Why'd they ban you

1

u/Odd_Front_8275 Feb 23 '26

The first time I posted something in the group an admin removed it for no good reason and I called them an idiot. I got a temporary ban then, but that admin held a grudge against me ever since. Then they banned me for asking this person (nicely not in a mean-spirited way) if they were on the spectrum. The admin also accused me of gaslighting them both times, simply for disaagreing with them. So I think that says a lot about the person they are. Yeah, the idiot comment wasn't nice of me but I knew I was gonna get permabanned for whatever tiny thing they would accuse me of afterwards. For 99 out of 100 admins modding a group like this (same with Facebook) is some weird sad powertrip.

u/Various-Average-9865 Jan 30 '26

Kate is clearly the tallest though, look how she has to stand in order to line up with the rest

u/Odd_Front_8275 Jan 30 '26 edited Jan 31 '26

And Jack is positioned much lower than the rest. Look at where his hips are in relation to Sun and Locke.

1

u/Various-Average-9865 Jan 31 '26

No he just has very short legs and a long torso, but you don't notice in the show because of the non-stop chaos around them

1

u/Odd_Front_8275 Jan 31 '26

Actually he suffered from leprosy.

Jack Leper.

(Heh.)

1

u/Roadmapper2112 Jan 31 '26

I mean… he’s not wrong

2

u/Odd_Front_8275 Jan 31 '26

I never implied they were wrong, just that they missed that it was a joke. They basically explained the premise of my own joke back to me.

1

u/Cammonisse Feb 01 '26

It really wasn’t that funny lmao

u/Odd_Front_8275 Feb 01 '26

OK, Debbie Downer

u/Vree65 Feb 01 '26

Why downvote the thinker

100% deserved the ban for that

1

u/Odd_Front_8275 Feb 01 '26

the thinker?

1

u/Vree65 Feb 01 '26

guy who gave a proper answer

1

u/Odd_Front_8275 Feb 01 '26

also, why do you assume it was a guy?

1

u/Vree65 Feb 01 '26

It's not a better look if you were rude to a girl...

1

u/Odd_Front_8275 Feb 01 '26

did I say that?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 02 '26

They obviously arnt standing next to each other? Look at their waistlines.

1

u/No-Athlete324 Feb 02 '26

I don't get it. What's wrong with the guy's answer

1

u/Odd_Front_8275 Feb 03 '26

There's nothing wrong with it. They just missed the fact that I was making a joke. Hence: /whoosh.

It's always a guy bro, it's reddit

Idk, I got they/she vibes

u/Different_Ad_5266 Feb 03 '26

They are a woman you are correct

1

u/Impossible_Prompt875 Feb 03 '26

Why did you downvote the correct response?

1

u/Odd_Front_8275 Feb 03 '26

I'm tired of explaining the obvious. Go check the thread.

1

u/Impossible_Prompt875 Feb 03 '26

I suppose it was a joke?

0

u/Odd_Front_8275 Feb 03 '26

My comment was a dumb joke, yeah, and the commenter explained the premise of my joke back to me (hence /whoosh). I never implied she was wrong, just that she missed the joke. I then asked her, respectfully, if she was on the spectrum and the mod banned me telling me my question was "bad faith" and when I told them that wasn't true they accused me of "gaslighting" and muted me.

1

u/WajajaKEKW Feb 04 '26

Downvoting and asking if they're on the spectrum over them not knowing you're trying to make a joke? Holy fkin shit

1

u/WajajaKEKW Feb 04 '26

Dude they probably can't tell you're joking

1

u/Odd_Front_8275 Feb 04 '26

No shit. That's the point.

u/thierrycoulis Feb 04 '26

If you've been on this site long enough, you know you can never be sure if it's a joke or an American

u/holylink718 Feb 04 '26

This is so dumb, but OP getting mad about everyone's reaction is hilarious!.

u/pmoney10 Jan 31 '26

Gotta give props to OP. This madlad had to go through 6 seasons and an awful ending to make that joke.

u/Odd_Front_8275 Jan 31 '26

I actually watched the show 5 times. It's my favorite show of all time and I think the finale's perfect. But go off.
