Oh okay you're right it was just a random poster that hasn't posted a single time in over a decade that just so happened to come back looking for a fyad thread and completely accidentally stumbled on trans people and coincidentally decided to start harassing them.

I sincerely don't know why any of you expect us to be able to shut down fyad when Lowtax explicitly told us, the mod team, we are not allowed to do that. We are probating and banning shitheads as they appear but we don't own the site and so constantly reminding us fyad should be closed is doing nothing useful unless you're saying it directly to him.

hocus has registered two alts in the past two days specifically to post transphobic poo poo in our thread

fyad is *demonstrably* harassing trans people

if i eat a probe for this whatever but im loving sick of your stupid rear end telling us what's obviously happening is not, in fact, happening

There's a lot of psychopaths on the forums who have no relation to fyad and are just using recent events as a smokescreen so they can poo poo everything up

Not defending fyad so much as pointing out there are problems coming from multiple places.

Issue year-long bans to people making GBS threads up the trans thread or posting LGBTQ+ bigotry in other places?

It's a legitimate concern at the moment and harsher-than usual punishment might send a clear enough message to move the gently caress on.

Make Koala's March the mod of FYAD, but make Ralp the mod for TGRS.

I can't remember if it was from just before or around the time of TGRS' creation, one of the original leaders of that group of posters was a Black Lives Matter (as in the actual name-brand movement) leader who worked in tech and he claimed that due to his job permissions he could access SA's servers and saw that they kept a database of everyone who's ever made a purchase from the site store's credit card info. I can't for the life of me remember the guy's username, though, and I wish I could.

My memory is hazy but I want to say that was Tiny Brontosarus. This might have been a different credit card drama though.

Whoever it was actually said that Lowtax and the other admins kept credit card information stored in the forums. Despite the admins maintaining they didn’t they kept accusing them about it until lowtax banned them.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.


Do NOT use the word Gaslight to describe things that aren't hiding things from your wife, hiding letters from her family, telling her shes imagining the flirtation with the maid you are absolutely having an affair with, all so that she ignores the constant footsteps from upstairs and gas lights above the fireplace that flicker exactly 5 minutes after you leave for work each morning so she doesn't call the cops who will discover that you're actually the chief suspect in the murder of the old woman who owned the house last, and that instead of dying in Australia 10 years ago as previously believed you've actually been posing as a middle-class Londoner who instead of going to work like you tell your wife spends the day ransacking the sealed off 3rd floor for the old womans priceless hidden rubies that you murdered her to steal but couldn't find before the police showed up to investigate.

The word was created to describe this exact situation and it ruins the words meaning when you just start using it describe other things.

You're a loving moron and it's ridiculous to scream about who is or isn't a secret fyad plant. Just call someone you disagree with a "shithead" like a normal person instead of crafting some insane fanfic that everyone you disagree with is part of that fyad hive living in your house and scratching the walls at night while you try to sleep.
