To be clear, while him being terminally aggro was a consideration, the forum ban was because he would post about how other posters should be killed. The forumban was the lenient option, with the alternative being a permaban. The forumban will not be lifted.

I mean, here is is posting a thread with a poll asking if Flavius should be killed: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=1&threadid=3976409&pagenumber=1&perpage=40#post516945071

Also lmao at the mods probating people to defend his honor. You guys keep circling the wagons around pedophile mods/pedophile adjacent mods and wonder why we all make fun of you constantly and want to call you sex criminals lol.

Anyway let's remember other epic cspam mods in this thread, such as the chipmunk retard himself who flavius fell on his sword for, the weird D&D guy who was logging a bunch of discords, etc.

who is permabanned poster Unoriginal Name????

I guess it's worth clarifying that neither I nor Jeffrey took those as felicitous death threats. Rather we took it as an especially bad sort of memetic posting that we didn't want on this site. And yeah, on the whole it's worth deferring to the big post Jeffrey made in QCS or one of the feedback threads that one time. That post is still authoritative.

Azathoth posted:

I didn't mean to be dismissive and if folks want to vent, go ahead I guess, but don't expect a response from any C-SPAM mods because their perma isn't for behavior in C-SPAM and honestly it is probably something that would be better handled with a QCS thread or by talking to Koos or an admin since they weren't perma'ed for anything to do with C-SPAM

NeatHeteroDude posted:

this isn't meant to be rude or anything but people take the ability to post under one specific profile on the forums insanely loving seriously. hate-reading and hate-posting takes so much effort and mental bandwidth that i'm always very surprised when people do it super consistently about the same poo poo all the time every day. I truly don't understand what has to happen to my mentality about SA before i genuinely care about a poster getting permaed forever ago for behavior in a different subforum. it seems very extreme to care this much about this kind of stuff.

i'm not claiming my life is so interesting and cool that I wouldn't be annoyed if I were banned for some bullshit reason, but c'mon. I also can't imagine explaining this kind of thing to someone in person and expecting them to grasp why it's even remotely worth getting pissed about

e: and this isn't even about being banned. it's about someone else being banned for something that happened somewhere else, being addressed to someone who has no control at all over what happens there

I think the most frustrating thing about it is that he was selectively punished in excess by a couple of mods who didn’t like him, like straight up eating a ban+30 for posts that if I had made them wouldn’t have even gotten 6’d, simply because of the ongoing mod beef. Then this was used as justification for perma stuff on the grounds of “guy simply cannot follow the rules—look at his rap sheet!” It was especially dumb when said mods would add stuff like “misogyny” in the ban reason bc he made fun of a witchcraft thread in a politics forum. I’m not even friends with the guy or anything it just seems like a lovely way to run a community.

being mean and aggressive to everyone for little to no reason is an awful way to act in a community

oh yea? then how come the last several posters I've had a problem with have all been permabanned or b+30'd? that's right, because I don't miss bay bee 8)

Dustcat posted:

my general cspam feedback is that you should not get genuinely mad at other posters without a well-thought-out and morally grounded reason

this has no relation to anything that happened with snoo. I remember very clearly what got snoo to leave. she was being repeatedly harassed by someone in the covid thread attacking her dad for having cancer.

the witchcraft thread was insanely cringe and it was very very funny that making fun of its premise or proponents meant you were a sexist bernie bro lmfao

I, like, ALMOST forgot about Flavva Aettyss, which means tonnnnes WRT recent modship.

you know just calling people pedos and nazis is against the rules right? for a good reason?

i couldn't pick up what thread you were talking about from context before. i thought it was an active one. thank-you.

Azathoth posted:

this feels like a weird thing to just have floating around unsubstantiated so like not on threat of probe or anything but if someone could clear this up or just report bad posts from there or something, it would be appreciated. or send me a PM with what's objectionable.

full disclosure, I read that thread for a good long time before I was a mod but lost interest a few months before getting the star, so I'm at least familiar with it from back then. it seemed like an alright if kinda aggro thread but I stopped reading as part of a conscious attempt to consume as little right wing propaganda as possible, even for laughs

Yadoppsi posted:

Reboot the culture warriors thread. Its gone sour and seems to be attracting the detritus from the PYF anti-leftist thread that was closed when several of that thread's superstars outed themselves as pedos.

Also combine the 2 history threads, they barely get enough posts to stay on the second page as is.

it was spiderhyphenman that got permad during the chipmunks thing

I'm really happy with how the current batch of mods has not posted any pornography of alvin and the chipmunks. I think that is a good policy which should be continued.

also in the interest of full disclosure the edibles have kicked in so i may be very much misreading your post

enough folks have those avs that we can't give out new ones, but I did put in a request with the admins to swap out your ghost of kyiv one for the secure click, we'll see if they approve it. if you don't see it in a couple days, thems the breaks.

note, i do not expect to get that token for this

i do think it should be against forum rules to attack someone with cancer. Its pointless and redundant AT BEST, as their body is already attacking itself.

Tiler Kiwi posted:

my only feedback is iks should see reports in specific threads they're assigned to just so they can filter out the useless ones but that's more a tech thing

also idc about witches but wizards should get run out

cspam is a shitposting forum unless we're talking about something I'm personally invested in, then we all have to be serious

WampaLord posted:

C-SPAM exists in this weird place where there is both solidarity and also constant attempts at dunking on each other, which I guess is appropriate for a leftist subforum of Something Awful.

I think you're mistaking the benefits of having community and hope as being benefits of spirituality. in so far as spirituality and religion overlap, any benefits, even falsely attributed, don't come close to matching the harm done on the world by religion. it's not worth it. it's sociological meth. sure you might get your house cleaned, but you're gonna end up loosing all your teeth and annihilating indigenous people
