By the time I became aware of a problem, Alec had been harrassing cumshitter via disturbing vlogs for some time. Him vlogging while driving with his child in the car gets a lot of attention but the ones that disturbed me most were him coloring a picture with his child, with the reveal that what his kid was coloring had cumshitter.com written on it and worst of all, Alec making a literal fake suicide note video in his loving classroom, including brandishing a razor blade, before the punchline of him saying cumshitter.com.

"justifying a war-crime" is way too lose and vague a standard to be meaningful. 1. What definintion of war crime are you using? Article 12 of the Rome statute? not every country agrees with that. Even if everyone agrees to use the Rome statute, there is often little chance of knowing one way or the other whether many actions in a war are a war crime without a long investigation and compilation of evidence and testimony. Are we going then off of what "feels" like a war crime at the time as these things are often only discussed soon after they happen. 2. what does justify mean in this context? do you mean, what I think, more like "excuse"? or say it was not a war crime? Many many people justify the USA dropping atomic bombs on Japan. I doubt this is the kind of thing you would probate however.

Just confusing all around.

I apogize, but I'm not going to have a debate with you about the definition of war crimes because someone had to take one day off posting. What you've posted is very detailed and I understand why it's important for you that we hash this out, but it sounds like you'd get more interesting and thoughtful engagement with this post in D&D.

the #1 reason for arguing about probes is ppl never say what they mean. shoulda just been like "this is freaking the b*tches out"

Much like the forbidden books in a Lovecraft story, not reading my posts is always the correct decision.

I don't know that the specific substance was ever confirmed so I wanted to leave it at least a little vague. For all I know he only snorted some Soviet era research chemical that doesn't have a name it's so rare.

Not getting Alec off the forums faster is one of my greatest regrets as a mod. Let me give some background from someone who was as neutral between the two of them as possible.

Alec had been making the Trump thread all about him and his lovely negative attention seeking behavior for a long time. After Flavius went...well, after Flavius the mod team basically lost track of what was happening in there for several months and Alec went full Forums Superstar and no one checked him.

By the time I became aware of a problem, Alec had been harrassing cumshitter via disturbing vlogs for some time. Him vlogging while driving with his child in the car gets a lot of attention but the ones that disturbed me most were him coloring a picture with his child, with the reveal that what his kid was coloring had cumshitter.com written on it and worst of all, Alec making a literal fake suicide note video in his loving classroom, including brandishing a razor blade, before the punchline of him saying cumshitter.com.

Gimmick aside, it was very clear that cumshitter was extremely freaked out by Alec not leaving him alone and it must be stated that they live geographically close to each other, and cumshitter had talked enough about his favorite bar that he appeared legit concerned Alec was gonna actually show up and try to find him. Given Alec's downward spiral, I don't think the concern was unjustified.

Now, none of this is to excuse what cumshitter said. He absolutely did have a pharmaceutically fuelled meltdown starting very earlu New Years Day morning and continuing into the afternoon in which he threatened to call Alec's employer to report the creepy poo poo in his vlogs. That poo poo was inappropriate in the extreme, but it isn't exactly fair to compare what he did and randos doxxing someone to harrass them.

We should have dealt with Alec quicker than we did and I personally should have been more aggressive in handling his creepy behavior and not trying to get him to reform. Either of those would have headed off the impending meltdown.

You can deik Majorian? There have been several times where people are discussing things and he just steps on it despite there being nothing else going on in the thread.

I guess to tie this into a feedback point, please rotate iks frequently. There always seem to be a case where the tone of people's posts changes when they get a star. Don't think it's good for both posters or the thread when someone becomes like that. Inceltown got very defensive of the CSPAM pics thread, and Majorian is becoming the same way in the Ukraine thread.

You can run an IK content. It'd be quite fun to see all the various personalities CSPAM has to offer run this place.

I'm honestly open to the idea but overturning a perma is even harder than getting one, so uh I'll just ask you not to hold your breath.

what cumshitter after they repeatedly share creepy real life videos of their obsession with you but doesn't get banned seems like an act of desperation to get them to stop and not malicious doxxing. if you described that accurately that's all shockingly poorly handled. I mean not for SA but in general. just lmao

The problem with this is that a good chunk of C-SPAM lose their motherfucking minds about 6ers. And let's not forget the QCS thread where someone went after Calibanibal ffs.

It would be funny, and might even work, but holy hell do I not want to be around for the cleanup if, let's say, euphronius gets the IK star (again)

So many bad NBA opinions on every thread, it'd be a nightmare.

just a dash of antisemitism in the op because it is the balkans and it is ironic for a region with a history of pogroms, and not because the op is antisemitic and needs to be rescued from time to time in QCS 🤌
