You don't have to support Hillary to want to protect the kind of people who were all in on Hillary.

Nite crew culture is pretty terrible and will inevitably metastasize into the cancer that kills this subforum. The one downside to the HillShill Toxx Amnesty is that it didn't permanently remove them.

the sticking point to me was that it was, as not a step mentioned, framed as something to cut down on the work required to push through all those toxxes while actually being quite a bit more work. that was just really :confused: and it set off bullshit alarms for folks

probably. idk to be honest we were pushing a time limit for getting bans or whatever done. how we've had months to dwell on it it's more obvious but when you're facing hundreds of bans any method to cut down a few dozen is welcome. he did what he did and it can't be changed now.

somebody from gbs I think was like I'LL DO THE WORK FOR YOU LOOK SO EASY and gave a list of supposed toxxes. I can tell you now that the list was maybe like 75% correct with plenty of people omitted/added at random

The Hill Shill Toxx Amnesty died and they were permanently removed. Night Crew culture remained benign. Subforum still going strong.

ftr my personal opinion was that it had less to do with defending hillary's honor or whatever than it did with wanting to provide an out for regular D&D posters who made a real bad decision

Wait, why were people who toxxed for a Trump win banned? :confused:

In the immediate aftermath of the "grab 'em by the pussy" tape reveal, Baloogan of all people offered the Trump toxxers an escape hatch with the warning that if they did not accept it, their toxxes would be upgraded to perma if he lost. At the time I posted saying that all bets stood, but an admin intervened and said they'd get one this one chance to bail on Trump who, in that one moment, seemed doomed. Little did any of us know that reality had already ceased to function, nothing made any sense at all, and it didn't matter.

i still don't understand where anarcho-nihilists who provide the bulk of OC, collages, donation set ups, thinkfaces, have gathered people to vote to ban boosted_C5 for 14088 hours, and are working on an upcoming CSS are hillary supporters and or benign :shrug:

dude has looked at it from the back rear end end ever since getting hammered mostly because he whines arbitrarily about things that have been covered a bunch of times and provides no insight or OC or just going against the rules pretty much.

We were somewhere around Manila when the drugs began to take hold
my guess is that recognizing that these forums are indeed dead and gay, exmarx did not wish to make them deadier by banning dozens of posters

whether the gayness of the forums has changed is up for debate however

i think it doesn't really matter whether you are or were correct or not, and constant reiteration to find The Most Correct Opinion is kind of what has kept the left treading water for the last 40 years while the Reagan dems have been slowly cutting pieces away from the american working class

I'm not convinced they'll always be there cause the jury's still out on how much the conservative brain/liberal brain thing is nature vs nurture.
