The only saving grace is that the subforum has good mods who were quick to take out the trash.

There really wasn't a reason to suspect Dm was a permabanned poster, but I think the gimmick started going to their head in the last few months and it caused them to slip up

No, I get it - someone who you think is a cool person, and who some might even think of as a friend, suddenly turning out to be a transphobe? That's pretty much the opposite of fun.

Oh, absolutely - but I must've had some reason to conclude that Driftingmouse posted there.
I'm guessing I found something in archives at some point, but it's not coming up now and I can't remember what I was looking for then.

Besides, Kirk is a hero, and his pride is like an old friend at this point.

A lot of the Star Citizen thread are (or at least used to be) reddit transplants that migrated over specifically just for SC chat. I remember at one point someone did the "Boy this user sure does suck [posts hyperlink code that always links back to your profile]" joke in the thread, and one of them didn't get the joke and started sending angry PMs to the jokester and made a couple defensive posts in the thread about it.

To that thread's credit though most of the posters told the transphobes to shut up or gently caress off.

Doctor Goat posted:

I remember looking at that thread because some people told me some chat logs of me talking in IRC were posted there. They were in the middle of trying to doxx Baby Black Goku because he trolled the creepy Schmorky thread until it got gassed and I think he was the one where they allegedly found his dog but it wasn't actually his. They were also gleeful about how they'd scraped all the pet picture threads and could "doxx everyone's pets" now. It was a lot of obviously aggrieved GBS 2.0 posters who didn't like that people thought GBS 2.0 sucked for some reason...

If anyone really wants to talk more about why nobody noticed that Driftingmouse was a permabanned psycho for a long while then that's definitely something for SAD shop talk and how easy or reliable alt checks are and not here. If he said something funny or whatever, sure, bring it up here, but it sounds like he was more of a miserable creep than anything.

It's not so much that it was ever funny, but it's vaguely interesting because even by gimmick account standards, reregging repeatedly to post vaguely famous people obit threads is a strange gimmick.

The weird part is that they tried several gimmicks and none of them really worked but all of them managed to annoy the mods so…partial success?

None of them were funny or entertaining at all.

Yeah no idea lol. I guess if not for jerkoff reasons, then just to see how long he could be a constant low-key irritant with no redeeming qualities before the hammer dropped on his head? It's weird how often that happens here, but I suppose part of that is this is one of the few places that would allow "gimmick" posting for more than a couple attempts before being shut down.

We have some tools on the admin side that can help identify perma'd accounts. I'm not going to get into the nuts and bolts of that for obvious reasons. Some of them are the usual poo poo you'd expect if you've ever done any kind of network poo poo, some are unique to Something Awful.

That said, we don't go out and actively look for perma'd accounts. That's not a great use of the limited time that our (volunteer, unpaid) modmin staff is willing to donate to the forums. We've toyed with automated tools but those turn up a lot of false positives, and we don't want to boot innocent people because something about their online profile looked like a notorious jerk. Frankly if a perma'd person wants to just lurk until the end of time I doubt that we'd notice. What usually happens is some brand new account runs into a thread and starts being an rear end in a top hat, often in a way that reminds everyone of some perma'd jerk, and we get asked to take a look. The baleful, fiery Eye of Admin gazes upon them and if they are revealed to be a perma'd jerk we do the needful.
