I was recently banned from Paul Wheaton’s Permie forum because I questioned a submission for a PEP badge. The steward r ransom manipulated my post when I question my ban to only include a snipet of what I said to make it seem derogatory, when I questioned that everything was scrubbed from their website. I always thought posts remained as you submitted. I guess when your opinion does not align, it is removed. What is that called?
Today on Permies.com they have been bringing up “bumping old posts” to try and justify their actions to an email I recently sent. Including a new post by Paul Wheaton himself about no plastics. Obvious they are feeling guilty about their actions.
It is so clear that Permies “Be Nice” policy is used not as a standard for conduct, but as a weapon to silence any user who points out staff inconsistencies, I was not rude about it. Just look at all my other posts there. It will give you a idea of my character as a human being. The manipulation of my messages to alter their meaning in regards to the PEP —followed by the deletion of evidence once the discrepancies were highlighted—is a deceptive practice that borders on gaslighting.
I have seen older posts here on reddit that have been locked or disabled for similar reasons but I think it is unfair for people to be subjected to this kind treatment. I just wanted to reinforce them with recent first hand experience. And particularly in my case where I had contributed so much personal expense and time contributing to the Permies forum .
I was just dismissed as simply as a piece of garbage for pointing out a discrepancy and asking for explanation.
I hope this enlightens someone before they invest too much of their time into that forum.
