Reposting, "WHELP BAD CALL" on silencing people upset about domestic abuse

I appreciate the post. Half assed unpaid modding is not in the same league as serial domestic abuse. Lowtax is the criminal.

Is there any alternative? reddit is what it is and discords are a poor substitute for a forum. If SA finally implodes I don't really see anything taking it's place.

forum.fenoxo.com still uses the old-school messageboard format and it even has a "General Bullshit" subforum!

I get the feeling that one of Lowtax's tactics is to mentally abuse his partners, then provoke them with something that he knows will make them snap, get evidence of that, and then claim this is proof all these women are the abusers. It's like beating the poo poo out of a dog, then claim the dog is rabid and dangerous when it finally bites back.

that and grooming, he convinces the next partner that the last one was batshit and he's the victim until its their turn to be gaslit and for him to move on

It's just sort of tiresome -- in a thread full of people rightfully angry about moderators history of squelching discussion and posting about lowtax's abuse of women by handing out probations and sixers on flimsy-to-no-grounds -- to see a newish moderator post several times in a row about what kinds of particular words are and are not allowed in the thread.

Like I don't disagree the R-word doesn¨t belong here, but the dude already made that post once, and nobody is disagreeing with him so it seems, to me, in poor taste to keep making moderator-posts about forums decorum in this thread, of all threads.

question, due to the article being edited;
if logan requests this whole thread to be memoryholed because she doesnt want this online, should the admins do it?

i mean, if she feels like she doesnt want a personal thing like this in public, it should be honored. but if she is being coerced...? what would you guys do

difficult to say really. I think what should not happen is it being swept under the rug until it is resolved vis-a-vis the forum because the situation is overwhelmingly pointing in one direction, that she's being abused by the forum's owner. But I understand the desire not to have this thread mingling shitposts with real life drama. I'd say delete but keep announcement about the situation

Beyond a certain point you can't put a genie back in a bottle. People can't go back to pretending nothing happened in this situation. It really really sucks and the best one can hope for is that people close to her are able to actually support her but once something like this comes out (and, depressingly, gets noticed instead of overlooked...) it's going to remembered and people can't be obligated to continue to support an abuser (which Lowtax absolutely is, regardless of the truth of this specific situation, so I don't even feel like it needs arguing) and memoryhole his behavior.

The fact that these police reports were intentionally suppressed is loving insane. Even if literally everything else that happened is some elaborate hoax they alone justify telling Lowtax to gently caress off.

Everyone seems to be panicking and going full adamant SA is closing down for good.
People going to discord is the dumbest thing ever tbh. How about we just wait a couple days and see how it plays out and hopefully we can get a new owner who isn't lowtax and a piece of poo poo.
Then everything would be p chill again....right?

I don't even know who could be the owner, or how it would happen. I don't know if lowtax would give up ownership of the site so easily.

Hey Burt Sexual lemme try again and see if you're actually willing to answer this time:

1: if Lowtax stays - are you still going to function as a mod for GBS?

2: if Lowtax stays and you still intend to mod GBS, do you intend to continue to probate and ban people who discuss the allegations of abuse levered against lowtax?



so far his answer has been this double speak poo poo and nothign else:

SA isn't just some forum that Lowtax happens to be the technical owner of. Its his business, his source of income. He's not just going to give that up. He'll ride it into the ground. He'll ditch the current community and turn it into a chud-zone before he steps away.
