Ban The Mittani on goonfleet.com

Unban Deltas who were airlocked for "mass shitposting".

Now is the time for the directorate to make moves toward reparative action, instead of punishing activists for upsetting the status quo.

In all the years I've been associated with the dumb space game and its formerly-goon alliance, there's one thing I never bothered to ask -- how do you even check who is on the blacklist?

Yeah there is (or was) a part of JIRA or whatever it is called (the same place you manage groups and alt corps stuff if I remember correctly) and if you had sufficient roles you could access it and see who was blacklisted and a short reason for why and when.

Most of the blacklisted were just bad attempts at spy alts getting caught but sometimes you got a good juicy one.

Nobody's suggesting going to anyone's house or anything like that, but here's a list of things that would go a long way, obviously not all of them can be done by random member corps but:

- Kick the people who were calling this 'amber heard drama' etc.
- Kick people who are publicly misogynistic/racist/homophobic/transphobic/profess unhinged maga poo poo.
- Kick the dipshits still defending mittens lmao
- Kick the people doing the cringey cultposting
- Actually kick and ban mittens from coalition services.
- Reverse the bans/blacklists on the deltas and the others who brought this to public attention/resigned over it to force action.
- Rebrand decisively away from The Imperium. gently caress if I care what the new thing is (please nothing cringey grimdark), but that entire name and brand belongs to mittens and it needs to go in the trash with him. If he wants to keep running INN and His Regards LLC or whatever that's his business but there's no reason anyone else should keep that branding.

I used to be GSRecon director. I had zero power to do either of those things. Again what do you think a director is exactly? Mostly it's just access to a particular Jabber channel. Random directors don't get to kick and ban whoever they like let alone rebrand the alliance.

Generally what a director is is someone doing a key job, and what someone doing a key job can do for leverage is threaten to quit if poo poo isn't done.

Further, what alliances within the Imperium can do is demand change or they will leave. If the people who can press the buttons don't want to do it, you have to hold something over them to force them to do it, and what most large alliances have as their bargaining tool is the participation of hundreds of players. Use it, or sit meekly in a pile of polite requests while wondering why the rest of Eve including your former friends think you stink of poo poo.

I mean the current leader of ~TheImperium~ made it very crystal clear they have no intention of banning or distancing themselves from the mittani in any way. Dude will be back to running the place in <6 months. Only way you can affect any positive change at this point is to vote with your feet. Just go somewhere else. Maybe another alliance that didn't kill its entire culture in favor of sexpests, if you can find one. Staying in Goonswarm at this point is just, you're there to press F1. Nothing more. That's all you exist to do and be. Your culture is gone, your leaders don't care. You press F1 or you get out.

Are you me?

I have a partial photographic memory and I think you have too, no one with this is the same but you may recognise the next bit.

I don’t read words I read entire paragraphs of text at once, like the shape of the letters in the big block gets fed in and reading comprehension happens. When I was a kid I could break world reading records but I wouldn’t let my school take it further because they were freaking me out.

I can often remember images of things I’ve seen like snapshots or movies in my head.

I cannot spell and even worse is maths, my brain can’t seem to see individual letters or numbers so I have to use a calculator very slowly for even addition. It is also super random as to what gets retained, names go but I’ll be able to recall a random photograph in a book with perfect clarity 20 years on.

I personally won Eve a decade ago. But if you are asking 1 or 2 specific people to do something name them. That's how you apply pressure. Blaming J Random Director (for anything other than quitting which yeah if I were still in I would) is attacking the wrong people.

it is 2022 and there are people who still believe that a member of the GSF directorate has any power other than over the extremely narrow slice of responsibilities they have been given

illum isn't even a particularly secure channel, it's treated as only slightly better than elysium lol

Seriously, though, asking "the directorate" to enact bans or any other kind of widespread sea change is wasting your time. About the only thing they can do is drop roles, leave the alliance, and close Jabber forever.
