The most Lee/Paul are going to do is vote for Kaine's War-prevention proposal that isn't going to pass anyways. Even Lee said he was "agnostic" about the strike, they're just pissed off when administration officials can't even *temporarily* hide how much they want to be representing a dictator rather than a president.

Some of the goon discords use a authentication bot to keep non-goons out or to keep banned users from rejoining (eg a game one I'm on started using it after a goon was kicked for being a transphobe and then started spamming the server), from what I've been told the nazis had apparently compromised the bot and were/are using it to spy on the servers because the bot can see everything including private mod/whatever channels.

Human Filet-O-Fish Struggles To Breathe While Chairman Of Joint Chiefs Watches [ASMR]

Detailed PPJ/FYAD/CSPAM saga stolen from another poster in CSPAM:

exact sequence of events for sa historians trying to figure out how we got here

1 i make a bad thread questioning a ban for a guy who turns out to be an unrepentant transphobe and not just an idiot who draws pretty pictures like i was assuming

2 someone points out that fyad is horrifically transphobic to a degree even worse than this one guys bad posts

3 mods spend an inordinate amount of time trying to fix fyad before lowtax finally goes gently caress it and destroys it forever

4 while this is all going on cspam gets aggressive on qcs because all this action suggests that maybe the mods will respond to complaints about cspam modding

4.1 ppj & logik gas the succ zone thread, one of the most popular threads on the forums for "forums raiding" in d&d
4.2 cspammers get angry in qcs because they do not believe this "forums raiding" justification
4.3 ppj 30 day probes benghazi 2 over getting sassed b/c he wants to give the benefit of the doubt to the op-ed of a kaiser permanante vp at pete's buttigieg's winecave fundraiser
4.4 a d&d thread full of d&ders complain about the probe and it gets rescinded

5 excessively long probations for complaining

6 cspammers forget about this for just long enough that the mods invent a stupid non solution that just makes people madder provoking angry posts yet again

7 permabans for complaining

7.1 one of the permabans is on benghazi 2, who just had that massive d&d thread that got her 30 day probe rescinded and looks suspiciously like ppj mod retribution and targeting with a bullshit leper's colony justification and proxy moderation. the permabanned post is about ppj chuckling it up in an offsite discord abusing his mod powers on benghazi 2. the permaban coincides with an unpopular mod announcement that says not to make threads about the mod announcement until qcs opens "soon"

8 cspammers forget about this for just long enough that the mods invent a stupid non solution that just makes people madder provoking angry posts yet again

9 mods inform us to be nice to party plane jones because he was hanging out in nazi discords this whole time just investigating them which proves hes our friend

10 party plan jones is permabanned

the end?

Point of order, pretty sure it was (now former) TG mod Beer4theBeerGod who was getting sassed, which then lead to people digging into his post history, finding out he had a defense-related job, and then posting it (and his name) repeatedly which lead to multiple permas for doxxing.

Honestly you could write a whole book about the last two months on SA. Given the state of the country (and the world) everyone feels on-edge and distrustful of each other, and a lot of issues have been boiling over at a time when both Lowtax and the mod/admin staff have been unable or unwilling to adequately respond. And I don't think anyone involved are bad people (well except for the bigoted FYAD posters, getting rid of them is the one good thing to come out of this mess), but absolutely nobody is willing to give anyone the benefit of the doubt, for very understandable reasons.

I hope the hits stop coming, but I don't know. With the US election this year, things are going to get more and more heated along with the campaign. I just hope we all come out of this intact.

I'm as glad as anyone that Trump is taking this opportunity to calm things down with Iran and not retaliate further (which could lead to all out war), but I cannot imagine the outrage and calls of cowardice a Democratic President would receive if they did the same loving thing.

Like, gently caress every single Republican and Fox News rear end in a top hat. I'm going to troll all of them now just calling Trump a little pussy rear end bitch for backing down against the terrorists of Iran. Cuz gently caress them.

Trump actually did what he normally does and pussied out after getting called on his bullshit.

I was worried he would go full deranged and start carpet bombing Iran as soon as those missiles launched.

Ah that would explain a lot, he used to post really good spreadsheets for fantasy football drafts on Reddit, but his account was deleted and no one knew why.

Can't say I blame him.

They didn't actually doxx him. they called looking at someones post history doxxing and punished.

And part of the reason they went digging was the pro-fascist posts in TG

Nah, digging through your posting enemy's history to find out where they work is creepy and doxxing. Just cause they were dumb enough to post it doesn't mean you should repost it out of context for a sick burn.

I didn't participate in the hell dumps of yore, but I fully expect any one of my bad posts to be dug up and shamed. Digging is creepy, but post history really feels like it is fair game now that I am a rich old 1% man who can pay 10bux for search and 10 more bux for archives access.
