The woke right and magaloons on this forum have been targetting posters, reporting their posts en masse and getting them deleted, causing both
PorcupineOrPinapple and YouHaveToLaugh being permently banned from the forum. Sad

I don't think YHTL is banned as his profile comes up when you click on his name whereas not the case with POP.
End of days though is correct because the narrative that is being pushed is very dubious.

A post doesn't need to be reported to be removed. The mods sometimes decide it's unsuitable & remove it. I had a few removed several months ago & they were mild. The forums are dying without the reporting & removals. One only has to compare the racing forum to that of several years ago. Almost a total waste of time now instead of the interesting, knowledgeable discussions about almost every race in days gone by. General betting & greyhound forums are taking their last gasp.

Didn't stop him from spouting wild conspiracy nonsense though did it.

It's a crying shame pop is banned. One of the most eloquent on here, whether you agreed with him or not. I've exchanged views with the man on here through many guises probably 20 years, this being the latest one. Fellow pool fan. Not on the same side all the time politically but I enjoyed his content.

No lapsy, as i have said a few times to others on here, i only joined last year as that was the first opportunity i had to do so.

Is he not concerned about it?

Here is a summary of the forum thread "PoP & YHTL banded by the woke right" from the Betfair Politics Forum:

1. Core Topic & Initial Premise
The Premise: The thread was started by user Escapee, claiming that right-wing users ("woke right and magaloons") were mass-reporting posts to get other forum members permanently banned, specifically mentioning users PorcupineOrPinapple (PoP) and YouHaveToLaugh (YHTL).

The Reality Check: Other users quickly noted that YHTL (also known on the forum as donny) was not actually banned, as his profile was still active and he was simply away on holiday in France (he later returned to post in the thread). PoP, however, does appear to be banned or suspended, though members debate the exact reason why.

2. Key Dynamics & Interactions Between Users
Escapee vs. Right-leaning / Regular Posters (DixieDean60, Shrewd_dude)
Escapee argues that censorship on the forum is being driven by right-wing members mass-reporting content.

DixieDean60 and Shrewd_dude mock Escapee’s original post, calling it "hysterical," "snowflake behavior," and a "wild conspiracy theory," pointing out how wrong he was regarding YHTL's supposed ban.

Later in the thread, when another topic ("Reform & Crypto") disappears, Escapee claims it was reported by the "woke right," prompting others to mock his quickness to blame right-wingers.

The "Donny / YHTL" Identity Debate (lapsy pa vs. DixieDean60)
lapsy pa questions how DixieDean60, a account registered only a year prior, knew that YHTL used to go by the username donny (an older alias).

DixieDean60 defends himself, saying he lurked on the forum for a long time before registering and that everyone on the forum frequently references YHTL as "donny."

Busyfool vs. The Left, The Right, & Saddo
Busyfool (BF) claims to hold the forum record for deleted posts (80%), arguing that forum moderators censor topics surrounding Islam, socialism, and BLM.

saddo calls out Busyfool for hypocritically attacking and labeling others while dishing out "drunken rantings."

Busyfool rejects the accusation, stating he is non-partisan and simply disparages "nonsense" from both sides—though he believes leftist intellectual dishonesty is particularly dominant in mainstream media.

DixieDean60 asks Busyfool if he actually likes anyone given his cynical tone. Busyfool jokingly responds that he likes Ringo Starr, praising the 86-year-old Beatle.

3. General Forum Sentiment
Forum Decline: Several users (Slicer, lapsy pa, Escapee) express concern that the forum is in its "end of days" or dying due to over-zealous post reporting, moderation, and aggressive moderation removals across various sub-forums (Politics, Racing, Greyhounds).

PoP's Departure: Despite political disagreements, members like MillridgeTanic express regret over PoP's ban, calling him one of the most eloquent posters on the board.
