Oh, and apparently whatever’s happening isn’t done yet, and there will probably be a purge of FYAD because, and I quote, “Lowtax wants heads.” I’m not surprised, Lowtax has problems but I think he’s a reasonable guy without a lot of patience for the sort of bullshit we’ve been seeing this last couple of days.

From what I hear, most of the mods do, it's just Lowtax and Smythe being enough to keep them from doing the needful

Remember way back in the 2000s when a mod making a huge overreach was when a certain goon got made mod of E/N, and changed all the thread titles to be about butts? And encouraged people to start butt related threads?

Example: "Guide to being dumped like a champ" was renamed "Guide to taking a dump like a champ" only for 30-40 threads and all actually funny or at least boringly inoffensive.

The poster had a gimmick about always asking for a butt specific sub forum, and eventually after discussion after the changes they let it stay for a while since everyone was having fun playing along with the gimmick or ignoring it and talking around the butt related posts.

That was actual comedy. Seems harder and harder to find these days.

Hasn't the majority of the active FYAD poster base already been banned or perma'd? How much more purging can there be to do?

If I were running the place then the work wouldn’t be done until everybody who expressed or defended transphobia was gone, but I don’t know what the actual plan is. It seems like that’s the way we’re headed, though.

On a serious note, the discussion in this thread about this ongoing disaster has been within the bounds, and I appreciate you all for keeping it sincere, open, and sane (as much as that applies to anyone and anything here).

One thing I'd like to ask is that we curtail gossip/speculation posts about current events. There's enough FUD in the air right now.

And if anyone can think of a funny new subtitle for this thread, my god, it certainly needs one after all this.

Accidental autobans are always delightful. The SA-Mart ones are the best, but I feel like I've seen a few from GWS where someone decided a thread about spicy food needed the HOT tag.

First they came for the tankie admin, and I did not speak out, because I was not a tankie admin.
Then they came for the trans people, and I did not speak out, because I was not trans.
Then they came for the nazis, and you better believe I loving spoke out! What happened to free speech? What happened to comedy? This is Something Awful!
I am a very smart man!
