Ugh.
Also, Neville Chamberlain gif is probably the second most offensive post directed at me ever online, but whatever.
Sorry, thatās a jpeg. 48 hours for you!

Yeah seems fair enough. The no rehashing is going to get a few people in troubleā¦
And cuse we have had our differences but leaving over this, a rule you were asking for and will help with ending old grievances endlessly reappearing, is not good. Plus itās a one day ban big deal.

Yeah sorry I didnāt think that one through, I just meant the appeasement of Martyās whining. Truly sorry for not thinking that through, I meant no offense in the way I now realize you took it. I do actually feel really bad for that, youāre a good dude and I apologize. Iām really not mad at you and I donāt hate you and I would never want to offend you. But I do think your decisions were awful, this communityās handling of this is a joke, and I want out.
So permaban my main account so I can stop making ghosts. Iām dead fucking serious Iām out.
Permaban me now. Isnāt the policy here that you have to wait two weeks from your initial request? Weāve gotta be way past two weeks from my initial request and the changes that have been made did not work out. Permaban @anon38180840. Hey @moderators who wants to pull the trigger? Someone just fucking do it already.
Iām not leaving over this ban. Iām leaving because the bigger this has been going on for months and this community isnāt doing shit to stop it and the bans dished out today made it brutally obvious that itās hopeless. Itās victim blaming mixed with ānobody cares leave us alone.ā
Like so far Iām leading this dispute in bans. Unstuck has sent me a clear message: shut the fuck up, your feelings about being personally attacked are a nuisance and we donāt care. So okay then, I have listened and heard the community. Iām shutting the fuck up permanently, I have no interest in spending the amount of time I spend on this site talking to people who have repeatedly made it clear that they donāt care about my experience here or my feelings.
Like a couple PMs, Wichita and jbroās responses and a heartfelt post by Risky and thatās about it on this. That speaks volumes.
Donāt make me make ghosts all night, I really donāt want to sign up for 17 different Gmail accounts to get a permaban. Weāve done this enough times before that itās obviously not changing. I want a permaban. Iāve had enough of being trolled and attacked and having nothing change.
Unstuck gets jalfrezi trolling, churchill dropping immense wisdom in the COVID thread and making it a treat to read while lacing in some personal attacks, and marty incessantly whining about bad moderating and the virtue of the most misogynistic word in the language to a huge amount of English speakers.
Enjoy.
Apology accepted. No hard feelings. I meant that āwhateverā and I took it as offensive, but yeah, heat of the moment.
I know youāre asking for a perma, but Iām not going to do it. Not me. Not hastily. Even a requested perma should be considered.
eta: I have really been abusing the not 15 minute wait time. Sorry. Iāll try not to violate that again as long as the thread is throttled.
Iām just going to implore you to not see ābacking downā as a character fault and move on. You act like we donāt see reality if we or you donāt comment on it but we do.

I hope youāll reconsider and stick around. We need more people with good taste in hip-hop and this community has survived even better trolling than this.

Yikes. Plus one to this forum being less fun lately.
I still think a rule of that says do what you want. Until 2 people (1 plus a seconder) asks you to dial it back.
E.g. i would like @churchill to dial it back arguing with actual doctors in the covid thread.

Itās not even the forum as a whole that has become less fun, its just a handful of people spewing nonsense all over the place.

What a strange turn of events. Sleep on it, commonWealth. Micro is instituting the changes you asked for, whether you can see that in this heated moment or not.

Yeah, this, I think, thatās my intention anyway. Iām not doing it all across the board though. There are other feuds and there are other mods. I can only handle driving off so many people in one night!

I think a message is being sent that the bar for moderation is being lowered due to the recent increase in stupid toxic bullshit. I support this effort. I agree itās unfortunate that the first casualty is somebody who really seems to have been trying to stay out of it, but 1 day is no big deal and the message being sent to the rest of us is more important. As long as thereās a good faith effort to enforce it consistently, and I believe there will be, I think it will help.

Where are these moderation standards laid out? Some random post ITT? They need to be prominently displayed, at the very least.

ahhh 15 minutesā¦
I @'d all the parties subject to it. It was an attempt to stop an argument that has been going on and on and crossing multiple threads and the parties were very specifically warned. Youāre not subject to such harsh treatment, not without warning, and neither would they have been if they had been posting about people outside the feud. We voted for a policy of warnings that escalate to bans in regards to abusing other posters and I construed continuation of this feud to be abuse even when it wasnāt obvious in an isolated post.
