Honestly, if you care about this you need to take a direct action page from the Shame Trolly book. Go out and trash the twoplustwo brands on other forums/give their books bad reviews (if anyone still buys LOL poker books)/highlight they support giving pro pedophilia views a forum. Otherwise this is all an exercise in amusement for Mat.

Otherwise easiet thing is just to let possible Sandusky candidate chez and the neo-nazis and the mental defectives have the forum to themselves and spend your time in better places elsewhere like battling the actual fascist that now is chief executive of our country.

People can read the tread for themselves. If people want to criticise how it was handled, constructively or not, then fair enough but it's absolutely untrue to say that I did nothing.

A bit later he got banned from the site - that wasn't me but there's not much doubt it saved me from having to issue more and increasingly long timeouts.

I suspect he has been back with at least one new account that got the OTBC but I really don't know.

I think I should have done that as well. There's been discussion about the pros and cons of deleting and although I think it can be good for posters to see what has been ruled unacceptable, I have listened and am deleting (or editing out) a lot more now - links and videos in particular.

I'll go back and delete the links now

edit: It wasn't a link but I've snipped a bit anyway.

I could delete more but I have already closed the thread because it is too offensive.

And it only took you a month and a half to finally do this today! An hour after you were asked to prove it, mind.

Doesn't retroactively make your lies true though. Sorry to be the one to inform you.

People here can see how it was handled at the time. It's totally untrue to say I did nothing. The poster was told it was unacceptable, warned to post more acceptably and then given a timout when he continued.

You're presenting a very false picture of how it was handled.

You would think that the things that actually should get people banned are defending pedos and sandy hook trutherism. There are fewer people that will have a problem with the modding in Alpha than there are people having a problem with 7.0. Nuke it.

NoQ and Wil can just go play with rocks as an alternative.

No, it's from people who have had to read about pedastry and homophobia and it going unchallenged by moderation.

That is untrue. Amusingly so for anyone who is watching you trying so hard to get Wil to talk about homosexuality while he is trying not to because of the moderation.

I know it is untrue, but these guys wont stop until you gone or they are. I know what I would do if I were you.

Can you point out where you have warned Wil for either?

Chez asked him to not talk about it. There are a billion things to point out about wil's posting. I don't know if this is the one to go down with the ship on. Yes, I agree with you that what he posted is extremely pro-pedo. We all can see it from what's already there. He doesn't need to elaborate, like he'd understand why anyway.

Hey Mat, don't let the number of complaints here fool you, SJW's are well known for their mob mentality, Chez is fine as a mod, that said I would actually prefer the old Unchained without mods.

At least he is not banning people for not aligning with his political views, unlike another forum.

Can I suggest the same solution I've previously suggested to the posters who started ATF threads about wookies biased modding? Stop posting in forums with terrible moderators. If chez is a biased, bigoted guy who mods in a ridiculous manner stop posting there. Without you guys it would literally just be wil1234553234 and truthsayer jacking off over how much they hate muslims/SJWs together.

Not standing up to hate speech is one of the reasons we have Trump so giving those *******s a free forum to post their **** unopposed doesn't seem like the best answer.
