ya of course, i wasn't trying to frame out the transphobia, i was referring to PPJ's specific actions right now which is bizarre

because its easier to self probate than explain why there was even a probation? it just raises more questions about B4BG too actually now that i think about it.

What is this seppuku poo poo over being a volunteer rent-a-cop for a den of shitposting.

It's no high calling, no grand sacrifice - you're a volunteer supposed to help to keep the forums somewhat pleasant and readable.

People want you to resign because you're not especially good at doing those things and lately you've been creating a mess.

Nobody needs you to sacrifice yourself to this thankless duty to be the thin blue line. Just loving resign. The forums will be fine.

Yeah it's kinda weird to think that this wouldn't even have been A Thing if the probation reason had just been "this isn't for this post specifically, but you're posting bad."

Also for those of us who don't post there, is there a tl;dr for whatever "the c-spam fiasco" was with PPJ?

PPJ really thinks he can get away with this performative self-wristslap. It's not even seppuku, that's what genocide explainer did.

PPJ's probe should be removed and he should be made to actually come back to this thread and actually engage with the issues brought up, and answer for his actions. If he's unwilling to do that and would prefer to play this stupid game of probating himself, he should be removed from the mod team.

Period.

Seriously though PPJ no one in the community trusts you to make impartial decisions anymore and everything/anything you do from here on out will be under the cloud of anger you intentionally stoked with your initial response to this situation.

Resign.

Well yeah, that's the assumption. I'm not laboring under any delusion that PPJ has the strength of character to own up to any of their bad behavior or decisions, so imo it's kind of a foregone conclusion.

They're welcome to try and prove me wrong though.

thank you to everyone who took up the cause for me and held feet to fires, you're all beautiful people with great sexual prowess and i genuinely appreciate you all getting me unprobed.

that said, ppj claiming to be reading the whole thread and then immediately falling on his sword so he doesnt have to actually address his reasoning or respond to criticism is pathetic particularly when you look at his history of not even posting in threads about him in the past. i dont give a poo poo if he eats the two weeks, i want him in this thread explaining himself, publicly, telling everyone why exactly me being mean to beer or ogmius or king nastidion, who are in order an idiot a concern troll and a pharma ghoul, deserved even a week, let alone two, let alone a MONTH, when posters like ogmius or KN skate for weeks at a time before eating a measly three days

the lack of accountability here is the real issue. its been a month? i think? since the succ zone got gassed and there was brouhaha and the admins said oh we're looking into it things will improve we've got plans, and we havent seen poo poo or heard poo poo or anything

and now we wont hear anything about this

what is there to think except that the administration literally does not care what we think or think that we're owed honest explanations when we raise issues

Seriously PPJ, it's really loving simple. Either your actions as a mod are justified or they aren't. If they are then well and good. If they aren't then you should clearly resign.

And by self-probating then, in my eyes at least, what you're really saying is that you realize that your actions weren't justified but you want to cling to power anyway and think that some symbolic act of contrition will let you do that, and that's pretty hosed up.

Basically, someone was posting centrist poo poo in the D&D primary thread, got flamed by CSPAM/D&D people, PPJ request Logik9 gas the CSPAM Dem thread in retaliation with the reason being "forum invasion."

also bombing into this thread that is already at a fever pitch and being a glib rear end in a top hat was certainly a bold strategy, and "this tran said its ok so you don't get to complain" was a bolder one, just an astounding level of good decision making and thought on the part of the moderator literally everyone except dipshits from gbs think sucks rear end

yeah the reason homex's selfperma worked is he has effectively removed himself from ever holding any power here again, official or not, and in the process he clearly stated that he understood why people were mad and what was going on and why this was necessary

a two week probation is nothing when you're going to come back and do the same poo poo.

Please don't call beer an idiot since apparently he makes bombs for the MIC and therefore his inclination to believe the rich and powerful displays a decent amount of awareness
