^^tbh he can be pretty abrasive, but i feel compelled to give them poo poo for permabanning any poster over a fish bone joke. especially if it’s on the basis of “we thought his dangerous memes would infect people.”

larry is funny and entertaining and (generally) gets mad at the right people. effectively permabanning him from cspam over ‘felicitous memes’ or ‘bad vibes’ or whatever is loving stupid. especially when it’s to protect the feelings of a dipshit former d&d mod who works for the CIA and literally helped get a bunch of black people lynched during the dismantling of libya.

hell, ill say it: it’s racist against latinos. :colbert:

I think the most frustrating thing about it is that he was selectively punished in excess by a couple of mods who didn’t like him, like straight up eating a ban+30 for posts that if I had made them wouldn’t have even gotten 6’d, simply because of the ongoing mod beef. Then this was used as justification for perma stuff on the grounds of “guy simply cannot follow the rules—look at his rap sheet!” It was especially dumb when said mods would add stuff like “misogyny” in the ban reason bc he made fun of a witchcraft thread in a politics forum. I’m not even friends with the guy or anything it just seems like a lovely way to run a community.

Certain posters should only be allowed to post in the gulag, not anywhere else in CSPAM.

true, for example larry being a jerk to snoo pissed me off. it just still seems like horseshit (effective) permaban imo, much like all the other cspam political prisoners banned for little reason other than “mods didn’t like them”

like benghazi 2 was an angry and abrasive poster leading up to their perma, and im glad they’re doing better now, but A. they were also funny a lot of the time, and B. that wasn’t the reason they caught a perma.

Snoo was a tedious whiner with a weird fledgling cult of personality and honestly being a jerk was the correct response in that instance

gently caress you, snoo was an excellent member of this community and the mods failure to respond to someone harassing her by repeatedly making fun of her father having cancer was unacceptable. what kind of piece of poo poo would cheer that on? seriously gently caress you.

Truth is I like a lot of the users here and from the posts in this thread I gather a lot of the users liked quite a few of the posters that the mods *don't* necessarily want coming back and that's inherently sad and so I wish we could gulagworkshop them back into our good posting graces somehow.

Snoo's art is and was rad who cares about the rest, people shouldn't feel threatened for posting on a website for crying out loud, and it's a shame that a creative person like Snoo would feel it best to migrate off the SA boards.

If you genuinely believe anything Larry did actually constitutes harassment then I'm going to say it: you absolutely need to toughen up a bit

This, incidentally, is exactly the kind of absurd whining that makes me glad Snoo is gone and not heading up this coterie of high-handed crybullies blubbering away like their respect or lack of it should mean anything to anyone

this has no relation to anything that happened with snoo. I remember very clearly what got snoo to leave. she was being repeatedly harassed by someone in the covid thread attacking her dad for having cancer. and snoo was never a 'centrist' and neither was anyone else posting in this thread, you're just cheerleading a genuinely good person and poster being chased away from this place because you're a loving piece of poo poo. people like you make SA a worse place to be and I really hope you gently caress off

my misreading your random comment about centrism has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that you're randomly attacking a poster who left here a long time ago, for no reason, who was a good and well loved member of this community, who was driven off by genuinely toxic people, and you're cheerleading that. what's some drama with me got to do with that? trying to bring that up to deflect away from how disgusting and nasty what you were just saying in your posts in this thread is just sad. absolutely pathetic attempt at whataboutism

This seems genuinely hosed up but iirc the poster in question was a) not larry and b) eventually permabanned so it seems like kind of a moot point. I know we probably disagree on this but I think part of posting on a politics shitposting forum is that ppl are going to quote you sometimes and check you when you post dumb poo poo. For example if you post a twee thread about how witchcraft is actually leftist there is going to be a Marxist poster blasting you on how that’s garbage. There is a league of difference between harassment/abuse and quoting people uncharitably, and it’s sort of gross to equate the two imo, covid thread poo poo notwithstanding.

I never said it was larry. I understand why you might have gotten the impression that I was but I was not saying that.
