Also this was stated earlier in the thread but the "drama goons" wasn't really a clique, people from all sorts of subforums were in there and most of the time it was just banal video game or food talk. If you're more mad at the thread that probably makes too many Bust Rodd jokes instead of the GBS Ukraine thread or a site owner that just refuses to interface with his forum outside of arbitrarily killing people once every two weeks, then you probably need to reevaluate why you hate the "sagas/QCS crew".

it's funny as hell, especially given how the guy who set up the infamous Hillary email server was a goon and even asked questions in SH/SC about server configuration and whatnot. at some point, Lowtax went through and not only deleted their account but scrubbed all their posts as thoroughly as possible including quotes I believe.

a weird thing about the sexpig perma is that the last like, two? accounts of his that have been killed seemed to have been posting very innocuous stuff and not in any of the politics forums. like why continue to enforce the perma if he's learned his lesson and is making regular posts in trad games?

the PMs were just one part of it, he was, as you say "a cross-forum grudge psycho who simply couldnt stop trying to own the dnd libs" and that was why he was perma'ed

he likely would have ate a perma without them, but they definitely didn't help his case, because basically instead of even keeping it confined to bitching in the succ zone he was getting so worked up reading D&D that he was PMing people he didn't like to respond to their posts

Lmao

Perma’s are really over applied anyway, should be a strong clear line on them and there shouldn’t be a lifetime achievement perma. Ignore function works. Scrolling down past posts you do t like works. Banning people every time they step over the line in the slightest works. What’s the point of perma’s except for outright violence or horrific poo poo like cp or admitting to watching vtubers

Permabans should only be reserved for illegal things (like that recent webcam spying thread) or for posters with such a bad, unlikable reputation that there's not a single place on the forums where they can be without them getting run out.

all the old posters were all super libs back in the day that argued strongly against stuff like free healthcare as being impossible for America. They mellowed out in that they no longer think the poor should die of preventable illness but they also don't think anything should be better. Also like 50% of them were libertarians.

az saying "his posts have been cruel and offensive" and then immediately backtracking to 'well actually its his pms that have been cruel and offensive, no you can't see them' kicked rear end

as did the followup when az said "look he's fine if he posts regular type" and then another admin decided to cut him off at the knees and say no, actually, for the crime of annoying the admins he doesn't get to even do those anymore

can't find it in me to get too mad about it, though; when you're good at getting under the skin of these people they get mad at you for it long-term.

in fairness like 50% of all dorks posting on message boards in the 2000s were libertarians, up until they got jobs

Az had a pretty good to great run as a mod/admin, although he’s definitely standing on the shoulders of paraplegic midgets, but the Sexpig affair was a pretty big black mark on an otherwise commendable record

i've got some sympathy, being the dedicated speaker to cspam sounds like the worst job imaginable and particularly when they make it clear no, none of the poo poo you say will be honored

still, "i promise, he will be allowed to return" followed by 'nope, made jeffrey mad, permaban means permaban' is some tasty poo poo

i think what probably happens is their post gets reported, and then the mod/admin checks to see if they're a rereg so they get perma'd
