Main character syndrome doesn't exist, it's just a stupid thing mods made up in order to do less work.

Free Alec!

Admittedly it’s hard to feel like you’re part of the conversation if you don’t get quoted a few times, but people who take this to an insane conclusion and spam posts until they get their yellow/purple dopamine rush loving suck. Part of the zen of posting on a web1.0 forum is knowing that people are reading your posts and thinking about them even if they don’t feel it necessary to quote in response.

Crazy cloud has already been granted a formal pardon via qcs tribunal iirc

probably happens on occasion. issue here is many perma'd ppl are notorious to some degree so if u let them live after being publicly outed you get a huge crew of their enemies (and/or sensible people who think they're bad for the forums) marching around for the forums chanting "HYPOCRISY!!" and such.

and hell, theyre right

This is the excuse of a bureaucrat but whatever you do you.

^^tbh he can be pretty abrasive, but i feel compelled to give them poo poo for permabanning any poster over a fish bone joke. especially if it’s on the basis of “we thought his dangerous memes would infect people.”

larry is funny and entertaining and (generally) gets mad at the right people. effectively permabanning him from cspam over ‘felicitous memes’ or ‘bad vibes’ or whatever is loving stupid. especially when it’s to protect the feelings of a dipshit former d&d mod who works for the CIA and literally helped get a bunch of black people lynched during the dismantling of libya.

hell, ill say it: it’s racist against latinos. :colbert:

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.

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.

This seems genuinely hosed up but iirc the poster in question was a) not larry and b) eventually permabanned so it seems like kind of a moot point. I know we probably disagree on this but I think part of posting on a politics shitposting forum is that ppl are going to quote you sometimes and check you when you post dumb poo poo. For example if you post a twee thread about how witchcraft is actually leftist there is going to be a Marxist poster blasting you on how that’s garbage. There is a league of difference between harassment/abuse and quoting people uncharitably, and it’s sort of gross to equate the two imo, covid thread poo poo notwithstanding.

someone (not Flavius but I think a mod but definitely not a C-SPAM mod) posted a pick in QCS of Alvin and the Chipmunks getting BJs. for reasons that entirely escape me at the moment, Flavius jumped to their defense then autobanned. it did not make any more sense in context at the time than it does after this explanation

Correction: the qcs thread was about the other cartoon child porn posted by a mod in the lepers colony.

Basically, Flavius Aetass somehow became a "liability" to FYAD, "extradited" a bunch of CSPAM posts to FYAD, and then a little bit later got himself caught up in a kerfluffle where he defended a very specific image of the Chipmunks (of Alvin fame) getting blowjobs from cartoon silhouettes as nothing more than a "twitter meme", as opposed to a depiction of child pornography, and this was the straw the broke the camel's back.

Men stole witchcraft from women and branded it post-structuralism, once again attempting to provide a formal ordering to something inherently Dionysian, as is their wont
