Racists and bigots being removed is fine. Overt racism was one of my own triggers for the banhammer. But "trolls and shitposters"? You need to be really careful on that slippery slope, or you'll break a leg crashing into the hay bales.
While everyone will have a different meaning, when I say trolls, I refer to posters like Ramen. Shitposters I see as more a generic term for people who clutter the board with posts that break topics or constantly disrupt threads. The first two should be handled whenever needed, the last two sparingly.
Funny, I seem to remember raking you over the coals for consistency, or rather, the lack there of. Did Ramen do this again, or are you simply referencing what he did previously and was already banned temporarily over? This is not the first time I've asked this and I have yet to get a straight answer. Seriously, post some examples, quote 'em. What's so difficult to understand that if you treat people who do the same kind of thing differently, that this is a double standard?
I know, right? Yet posters like Uncle Albert, Captain J, and Maud dib all dogpiled me with neg-reps. Yet the board felt way more welcoming back then than it is now, because there was a lot more diversity of opinion back then.
And no one other than your fellow brainwashed ideologues believes you after what went down with gturner.
This is why it costs nothing. You can do this all day, people can jump through hoops to respond, and then you get to declare you either win or they didn't answer your questions. In the Help Desk, your posts become a time sink, nothing more, and only the foolish spend more than a few moments on them. *cackles in communist*
I can "claim" no one answered my questions because you literally aren't. Seriously, I have yet to get a straight answer about if Ramen posted new pics of lynching or anything like that, or to provide any quotes for what got him banned. *laughs in the torture and murder of millions*
The reason I say it costs nothing is because you enter this thread with selective amnesia. You don't seem to understand how Ramen was banned or why, even though it has been explained before. So you demand answers to the same questions over and over and over again, because you're not getting the answers you want to hear. You then start harping on the old gturner banning that is now years old, which is a perfect example of how fruitful it is to respond to your questions. Nothing will ever satisfy you outside of someone telling you that you bested them, you're right, and that they bow before your stunning wit. You can't be taken seriously because all you have is bombast and recrimination.
pretty rich coming from you. I know why he was banned previously. I don't know why he was permabanned now, because none of you has the intellectual honesty to answer my questions or provide any examples. I'm not getting any answers. Period. Seriously, can't any of you even give a straight answer over whether the pictures you reference were something he did recently or if it was what he'd already been temp banned for. Did he do it again, or not? Oh I know, I just love pointing out your dishonesty and double standards in the face of you pretending to be otherwise. Coming from you, this means nothing.
Ramen was banned under Rule 8 for being a complete asshole and all around detriment to the community. Anybody who wishes to consume vile racist content which glorifies terrorism and murder will have to seek it out elsewhere.
Thanks for illustrating your intellectual dishonesty. I guess if you didn't have double standards, you wouldn't have any standards.
Part of the rules being lenient is that there is flexibility in them. If someone strays over the line but have generally been a decent person they're likely to just get a slap on the wrist rather than anything major. If someone has persisted in being a complete cock womble in the past, when they knowingly dance on the line they're not gonna get sympathy when they land on the other side of it.
So basically you banned him for the thing you already banned him before for and nothing more recent he did actually lived up to that. You just decided you didn't like him and banned him. Congratulations, you moral cowards.
Yeah, don't actually do anything, though. You might prove me wrong about that whole double-standards thing. Can't do that.
No you haven't. It was pulling teeth just to get someone to admit he didn't actually do anything that measured up to his last ban. Again, you are all hypocrites and moral cowards.
First they came for those who threatened people with lynchings, and I said nothing because if someone was that much of a dick why would you want them around anyway Jesus Christ this isn't difficult.
