I didn't really think it needed a thread which is why I just made a post in the misc thread there, I think it being gassed and not drawn out into a huge culture war is for the better...

That's true. I'd rather sweep this stuff out than get into a drawn out cage match over a creep's art.

It's tempting... I can't remember if there's a cap on how far back mods can probate or ban though.

The DeviantArt thread needed to be nuked, but it was a useful containment area for the people who can't keep their fetishes to themselves. Now they're all over the place.

Much as lowtax was an awful person, his tactic of making containment thread roach motels for creeps and then using it as a shortlist for permabans once it reached critical mass was effective.

You do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to Lowtax. Trouble with the roach motels is that nobody paid attention to the poo poo until it started spilling over into the rest of the forums, and by that point it was already driving people away.

The problem is that people keep forgetting the permaban part.

harsh lessons it is best to learn early, not later:
