yeah that's what makes the situation less black and white for me and why I'm not fully on team "keep cumshitter permabanned forever" (I honestly don't have an opinion one way or the other on his merits as a poster because I never interacted with him as a poster or as a mod). His response was wrong and unacceptable, but it was a response to a bad situation that was in part due to our slow response as a mod team. As I said at the top of that post, we had been hitting Alec with much harsher punishments and were actively talking about a permaban, but cumshitter jumped the gun in a way that can't be acceptable here.

I say all this not necessarily to make a case for cumshitter to stay banned, but to explain why he was permabanned in the first place, to provide context for people who only heard about this second or thirdhand, and to give you the rationale for why the admin team will probably not agree to free him. While some CSPAM posters have fond memories of cumshitter and we as a CSPAM mod team can make the case that he would in all likelihood be fine if allowed back, it's likely that it still won't happen because it could set a precedent that doxxing threats are acceptable under certain circumstances.

the really funny thing about that whole situation is that the avatar change that caused cumshitters meltdown wasn't from alec, it was from someone else who admitted it later

I hesitate to speak for Jeff but gonna go out on a limb and say this one's gonna be a "no". You can try QCS if you like, but I really don't think it'll work. Ultimately it's Jeff's call.

I do hope he reregs and comes back after his probe is up, but as with everyone loving around in the Biosphere Collapse thread, they were loving around with a thread Jeff reads and enjoys and that's never gonna end well.

He's not even probed. He could rereg whenever (and I know there are people who'd help with the cost if it's prohibitive for him, hell, ten bucks is a bit hard for me to spare at the moment but I'd probably scrape it together if there were a way to reach him) but if I'd been banned with a BE POLITE OR ELSE in loving cspam I'm not sure I'd feel like throwing good money after bad, you know?

Please stop probating Paul for his failed snipes, I was only kidding around and I honestly find them endearing and cute.

Also that's a lot of words about cumshitter but I think we all know why he was really permaed.

oh, also the most recent case I can remember where somebody maxed out their reports, they were going apeshit over somebody else trolling their favourite thread and in the reports they were calling us names and demanding to be made IK of the thread so they could rule it with an iron fist, and then like a week later they got banned for something completely unrelated

Was this Zerg mans?

sheep game is where you ask a bunch of questions, and people are supposed to answer with how they think the most popular answer will go. you get points based on how many other people said your answer. highest score wins, lowest score usually gets some recognition.

so if the question is "who is the worst mod of CSPAM"

ten people say "all of them", so they all get ten points
three people say "azathoth", they all get three points
one person says "tmurp", they get one point

it's been done a lot in other forums, mostly D&D and AI

the problem with the sheep game is the same as we've had with other threads where people nominate folks, a whole lot of you don't actually want to be IKs and when asked refuse with variations on "lmao no". it would be nice if any solution included a way to only consider people who opt in
