In one of the messages between the hackers and Greenwald, Greenwald tells them to be careful about being caught and deleting messages that might lead back to them. The prosecution is arguing that that makes him a co-conspirator.

it was gassed because none of us enjoyed dealing with it anymore and it was generating a disproportionate number of reports. it also was very old and had a baseline bias towards people who support intervention due to how the OP and thread were structured. we basically gave up on it.

the Latin America thread has become the de facto catch all and is generally better mostly because it doesn’t have the same baggage.

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

it doesn't help that PPJ was clearly unwilling to do what needed to be done to fix the thread. a disproportionate amount of reports came from the pro-intervention side, and PPJ would even baby them by doing stuff like giving me a month probe for not taking a strong stance on what exactly is happening in venezuela thanks to it literally being the subject of american regime change and propaganda efforts

reversal of fortune probations would work very well when you have a pissy old-guard that tries to keep debate out of their spaces via report spamming, but that would involve not coddling a stagnant community in D&D and so PPJ shrugged and gave in to the worst parts of D&D

one advantage to having a catchall LA thread is now if you make comparisons between venezuela and other countries in the region, or refer to the region's history overall, you don't get instaprobed for going off-topic

yeah that was massive bullshit as well. when the specter of american regime change is hanging over the country and you limit discussion of said regime change to only venezuelan examples, you give the interventionist side a massive advantage in the debate

that and people were allowed to make contentless shitposts like "read the OP :rolleyes:" to crush all debate

I blessedly no longer give a poo poo about this topic because I don’t have to make decisions about it anymore!

but I actually do agree that it could’ve been handled better and this topic specifically generated a lot of discussion with the new mods as a learning experience to do better from.
