The idea of voluntarily, for my own enjoyment, identifying myself as a member of an organization that identifies with and materially benefits (even for merely multiple dollars) a big fuckin jerk is unpleasant to me, hth. Especially when the organizational culture there doesn't seem to view said jerk as a problem.

I'd already mostly stepped away from SA for mental health reasons, and then got banned in the Bernie toxx, and then like the month after that was when the Lowtax allegations started coming out and I just resolved to not buy my account back while Lowtax had anything to do with things. And then when it became clear that Jeffery of YOSPOS had bought the forums and Lowtax was flatly unwelcome I considered it, but I don't think I actually rebought my account until the day of Lowtax's demise.

And now you all have to read my lovely posts again.

The time between the lowtax poo poo erupting and it being announced that a takeover was going to happen was less than 48 hours. Most of the goon communities I'm in were consolidating themselves offsite with discords etc and preparing to jump to communities elsewhere, that's a huge part of the reason why the takeover was agreed to in the first place.

If the leadership of Imperium had acted even half as fast or effectively as SA mods/higher ups did then there's a good chance I'd still be in it. What they did instead was stonewall everyone in the hope that it would blow over, then purge and deny deny deny. Nthing the call that the Lowtax situation was a demonstration of how to handle that situation as best as possible, whereas the Imperium method was among the very worst.

huh, you're right, the yikeseroo thread was june 23rd and the earliest announcement that jeffrey would buy the forums i could find was june 25th. in my memory it felt like at least a week went by.

anyway, i agree with everyone's take and retract my argument that sticking around here after lowtax was ousted isn't much different than sticking in gsf after mittens was ousted, since at least so far there has been no actual attempt at severing ties. the interim leadership seems content to just let him go dark. but if he's still getting a paycheck (which is probably a pittance, but still it's something) and isn't perma'd, that's a pretty glaring problem.

apologies for the derail.

a not-so-secret secret about me is that i was never actually that great at the econ stuff :ssh:

my talents were more along the lines of, "hmm, this new ESI API allows you to set the then-existing shield vulnerability windows via the API. Let's write a script that randomizes tens of thousands of vulnerability timers every single week until the end of time"

gently caress ccp for nerfing that (by removing shield vuln windows) before delve got invaded, btw, i probably could have stalled the entire papi war effort singlehandedly with that poo poo

idk, my only real interaction with mandozer outside of this thread has been negative, but i don't see why you'd be this hostile about the dude going to a group you're not even in. either his situation works out or it doesn't, it doesn't affect your life any.

and if you're gonna be this hostile, at least post better, christ.
