Maybe both.

Can we get Washoe a containment thread or something?

His watch one youtube, treat its content like is utter gospel should be a meme caricature for terrible internet posting but Washoe does this now pretty much every post he makes without irony or any self awareness of the horribleness of using loltubes as a source for absolute truth.

Its going to kill every thread he posts in and make them unreadable, he is also a high activity poster.

Something needs to be done, I would just ban outright, but a containment thread might appeal to more dovish mods.

A back forth was removed from the «last election» thread.

As some have noted response times are longer than they have been before, real life™ requires a lot of my attention right now.

I deleted a series of posts related to this issue, the deletion included replies that did not ignore moderation or break any rules, but leaving them would have looked very weird.

I'd suggest looking into why you feel compelled to spew hate in this point in your life.

What better place did you think it was going to lead to?

I spoke with Mike Haven. He said he would contact you. I did not contact you bc MH did and bc with your obfuscation it was clear what your intentions were.

We have members “in good standing?” Are there membership cards? How do I get these perks?

this wasnt some randon "derp" getting upset about a trolling exchange. this is a former admin who had already broke into private messages that he was not a part of to read and publicize them. and in the aftermath said he would not hesitate to use the info he gained as admin if he felt the need.

he also had doxed and harassed tbabs for years including contacting his sister.

this is a copy past of the unsolicited private message that he sent me.

the personal attack, combined with his history made it seem possible. it still is, esp by rehashing it here.

I realize that you will likely dismiss this out of hand bc thats what you do but whatever this is the only time I have thought there was a chance of an issue. and again, I didnt ask for him to banned. I just wanted the post to remain public.

It sounds like this user committed a lot of egregious offenses on another forum. Did you contact the moderators of that forum?

I don't know about "good", but there are definitely a couple of upstanding members round here.

I used the report button on this post by uke and will watch for its removal.

If the call is not to remove it I am fine with that but will also take it then that I can change anyone's posts within quotes and post it as if they said it and then reply to that.

I think it a dangerous and unwise thing for the forum to allow but I will go with what the mods decide.

While I did not see the post when it was initially posted, I think it was dealt with in that thread effectively including uke essentially saying "yep, I shoulda FYP".

So it does show a learning curve for us all. No need to remove in my eyes.

they supported him bc his actions were directed against people they did not like and were happily ostracizing.

I did not contact them about the threat bc it happened here and bc of their previous support.

also, in general I dont go to moderators bc they have always been unfair to me.

A back and forth was deleted from the GOP election thread.

And people can feel free to tone down the flamebait, which understandably makes people answer in kind.
