Here’s a fun question for the community to answer:
If someone has asked for a self permban but then comes back under a new name, what action should the moderators take?
For an added twist, let’s say this poster is also allegedly sending abusive PMs on 2+2.

I’d normally be inclined to do nothing, but sending the mods abusive pms is just a bit extra. Like I’ve never heard of an online community where you can berate the staff and not expect to get booted. At least they ought to cool down and apologize for that.
If a poster wants to come back I have no problem with them creating a new account and making a post explaining why. It’s why the Sabo stuff was hilarious and utterly bad faith.
But, you can’t behave badly and expect good results
I should clarify that I’m not receiving abusive PMs (maybe I am, haven’t checked 2+2 in forever) but was made aware of this via PM here.
Did this user ask to have his posts deleted along with the permaban?
Are the facts only as you’ve stated or is there more to the back story?
You don’t truly believe the only reason Sabo was banned was a single post.
Let’s keep to reality.
I don’t know any more about this situation than you, I’m just going on what otatop has told us.

.
More specifically because the owner class and aspirational owner class of posters felt threatened by having him here.
No.
I received a PM from someone asking me to ban an account for the reasons I stated in the poll, I don’t have details on what the 2+2 PM abuse may be.
I don’t think the poll is about Sabo since his is not a self-perma, so you guys may be talking past each other.
Vic, I can’t emphasize enough that I don’t know who this is or what was PM’d. Could be sabo, could be jmakin, could be a drunk David Skalansky for all I know. I’m just reading what otatop is posting here.
Lol, no.
I dont think it was Sabo either, it’s just “let’s keep airing this grievance from earlier this week” attaching itself onto this.
I think we should let anyone undo a self-perma.
The PMs are a separate issue to me - if they are enough to ban him, then ban him again. If not then he should be allowed back. The person receiving them can block the PMs. Only reason I would ban new account for PMs is if it seems new account we’re created just to send the abusive PMs (ie user keeps creating new accounts when the person being receiving them blocks one account).
Holy shit otatop is potato backwards fuck me how did I see that?
I don’t remember this at all tbh. Like, go back to the start of this: I initially thought otatop was the one getting the abusive PMs before he corrected me.
FFS, I agreed from the start of this that abusive PMs aren’t okay, I don’t know what Vic is even getting huffy about here.
Voted permaban, but only because of the second part. People should be allowed to come back under a new account after a self-requested permaban because who gives a shit?
