Is there a way to see avatars for folks who are probated/banned?

If current drama is now allowed, what in the world happened with Edgar Allen Ho (they had a little parakeet as their avatar)? They mostly seemed alright, but would get really aggro whenever the Russia vs Ukraine stuff got brought up (I think they said their partner is from one of those places)...now their rap sheet says they were banned for like, doxxing themselves? :stare: The post that got them banned has been edited by a mod, so I'm just curious what actually happened.

With them and The Anime Liker both, it's so weird seeing goons you've casually seen around the forums having meltdowns and getting banned. This thread made it pretty clear what happened with the latter, but I'm kinda lost on the former.

i think edgar allen ho posted some poo poo doxxing himself and his wife (without her permission) making amateur porn or something

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love—
I and my Annabel Lee—
With a love that the mods and posters
Definitely wanted to see.

I wasn't interested enough to check, but since it didn't end up with goons putting in real money to invest in a venture, I have to assume it's of acceptable quality

Mittani covered up a bunch of sexual harassment as well as his second in command being a pedophile, he was shown to have been involved in orchestrating doxxing and harassment campaigns kiwifarms style, and calls for him to step down were met with "we've conducted a thorough investigation of ourselves and found no wrongdoing" for a while until basically every actual SA goon in Goonswarm except for the weirdos who still think it's 2007 dropped and started a new EVE corp. Mittani and his 2iC got perma'd on SA, were then forced internally to step down from leadership (though not removed from the alliance), and now Goonswarm is just a bunch of pubbies with a grenade logo.

I'm assuming any of those that have been banned for scamming. I only know of that person who was selling...I think busted or stolen electronics (computer parts??)? They came up earlier in this thread for constantly scamming in SA Mart.

Also the best Final Fantasy game is GameCube Crystal Chronicles multiplayer with a consistent group of friends with 4 GBA SPs.
"cool and good" was in fyad before it was on the rest of the forums. It still might have come from twitter but Ruddha posted it ten million times and may have invented the words 'cool' and 'good'. You can search for it in fyad and see the tier of poster using it go from lyle to lowtax to hbag over the years.
