You know, I always wondered how bad this guy had to be to get banned from the league thread. Thanks for the evidence.

it was a combination of that and eventually using the thread to post his weird personal incel journal. iirc when he got threadbanned from the main league thread he started doing the same in the pro league thread and eventually a blanket "methanar cannot post in riot games threads" rule basically had to be put in place

hahaha incredible! :D

Exploration is ill-advised.
I can get threadbans are sometimes just keeping someone away from a topic where they can't help but be unreasonable when they can otherwise behave acceptably, but I do feel like once you start getting multiple threadbans from the topics you post the most in, a regular ban should be strongly considered as a matter of course.

you see, if we ban terrible godawful worthless posters that everybody hates, they might not come back. and then we've lost a poster forever.

hmm? the idea that if the SA forums let the most aggro posters on the planet freely run around eventually everybody sane will gently caress off willingly leaving only a cesspool of dickheads? apologies, my sleeping pills are kicking in, get back to me on that in 2194

Methanar only bought an account because he thought Lowtax was a literal low tax.

I still really think there's some truth to the idea that the mods forgot that Lowtax is dead and they don't have to still be refusing bans to deny him income

Me. I never interacted with him but was always vaguely aware he sucked for reasons I couldn't actually describe if anyone had asked.

He was also banned from the SA League discord, and he'd keep trying to rejoin under different aliases and new League accounts. He was always immediately identifiable because he'd play the same few characters on every account. One time he even impersonated another goon.

I didn't get his tax returns, but he sent bank statements to my husband to try to win a League argument or something??? I think it was something like "I make a lot of money so I'm right"
