Right at the beginning: I don't want to trigger a wave of rage, no trolling, no insults. Please understand my contribution as a constructive call for help with the request for understanding - and the willingness to show understanding.
I have now "used up" three different accounts. All of them have been blocked. I wouldn't claim to behave badly myself. But from time to time cultural differences seem to have an effect. I am German, we are notorious as raw, direct. Well, we see it differently - we don't sneak around like cats. We say what we mean. Short and direct.
Sometimes my contributions are interpreted completely differently than I meant them. Unfortunately, there is often no chance to clear up misunderstandings. I receive two or three warnings that my posts will be blocked. This is where my problem begins: communication is a one-way street. If I try to explain in the topic branch, I was repeatedly blocked. The reason was I would ignore the rules and the instructions. That frustrates me.
An example, if allowed. In the context of a topic on brassiere colors, I wrote that I would prefer not to see brassieres at all. I didn't write, showing naked skin instead. Nevertheless, I was taught that I was vulgar and obscene. I actually meant that I thought showing nearly naked bodies with only brassieres were kind of obscene. Now I have no way to explain myself. Meanwhile, a forum member writes elsewhere that he would like to see the figures without a brassiere - and nothing happens to him. Knowing that I was collecting bad karma somewhere unintentionally, I tried to contact support - who promptly explained to me that if I didn't follow the moderators' instructions, this would be a reason for blocking.
Please, hopefully don't take this post again as a reason for blocking or a sign of rebelliousness. I have the following suggestion, which I ask you to consider favourably.
A kind of traffic light could show the users of the forum whether they are acting properly (green), at risk (yellow) or at the edge of a blocking (red) from the moderators' point of view. For this, negative points or positive points should be collected, which expire after some time. Because I was also blocked because I had repeatedly violated the rules - I had not written months before the last post. How should I know that I was "counted"? Knowing this, I would have engaged more to write my opinion unmistakably.
In addition, please give me a brief opportunity to explain before a blockage or an operation. After several times my contributions were changed by moderators, they were so distorted that they communicated the opposite of what I intended. If one would communicate, your contribution, as we understand it, offends against the rules, please change that, one would have a possibility of correction.
The way it is now, I often feel that my contributions are misunderstood and I have no possibility of careful rectification. I don't even have an idea about the state of my karma.
