Yes and yes. Unclear if he lied so long he started believing it or if he’s still lying now.
We have a two week cool off protocol. Can we please try to keep some things intact?
Only for permbans, our rules are really really bad.
Anonymizing or deleting an account seems more extreme than a permaban, so I think we should apply the same waiting period.
If anyone wants to be temp-banned, let me know and I will accommodate.
I hope ggorreo, SenorKeeed and Oust will reconsider.

I suggested if there was a vote and the majority of mods agreed I would accept defeat. I would have voted no. Meb refused to put it to a democratic vote.
Stop fucking taking unilateral action for fucks sake. You are not a god. There is a mod forum. Next action you take unilaterally I’ll be looking to ban you.
My position was that would have been undemocratic considering the forum voted for me to become mod stating I would issue bans if they did.
And before you say yeah but they voted for you to become a mod stating you wouldn’t ban people. Wanting me to ban people and wanting you to not ban people are not mutually exclusive visions.
And still, no one has taken any action to remove me as a mod.
I agree but in the past users wanting their accounts deleted have been quite persistent about the wording of the rule. Funnily enough I can’t find the thread that’s in because its author has been anonymized and all their posts deleted.
Correct, sorry that my post implies you’d have participated in the banning, I’ll reword that bit.
I took care of a request from a user who had like 10 posts lifetime.
Good for you. My threat stands. Do not take another unilateral action. This is not a dictatorship.
You realize you can’t actually ban me right?
lol, this batch of mods has been the best so far. gonna be a little sad when the forum is gone though.

Where do our likes go when the forum disappears?

How can you post nonsense like this when the forum voted for someone who explicitly ran on
when your first act is to initially ban only people from one “side” or “team?” Like do you seriously think it’s democratic to campaign on one thing and as soon as you’re elected renege on it?

Serious answer though, I had planned on banning CN also. It should be pretty clear from my history here I am not a fan. But I did want to take an honest deep dive into every poster’s history prior to issuing bans. When I did, I came to the conclusion that at this time the only ones of my original plan that were warranted were church and jal. But I also stated that if CN were to revert to more negative behavior that I would likely end up issuing that ban at that time.
“The 23rd time Churchill is banned it should only be a few days again” wouldn’t be a good argument, so instead you will be called biased against people from the UK or wild lines of attack rather than defending their contributions to this forum.

Do we get the Vince memes back when meb gets demodded or no?
If goreo wants me demodded, that’s a pretty sure way to lock up the yes vote.
whether or not I did what I did that thread was going to come out, and the issues here are very much having to do with the contents of that thread, not me “exposing” it. this isn’t to downplay or condone my mistake, I shouldn’t have done it, clearly but acting like THAT is the reason things are fubar is completely absurd. that was merely my breaking point in a very fucked situation.
fwiw I find having someone with admin permissions, no matter who they are, thrown around so cavalierly (to just do emojis and stuff) when even the mere threat of me having access is a somewhat of an existential crisis for some people (allegedly, I think it is pearl clutching for the sake of it) is also a bit ridiculous given the fact every single admin can at minimum:
- read pm’s and personal info
- copy site backups
at this point I think it’s quite fair to ask the admins to post the full discourse admin/staff logs with personal info removed if necessary, so we can have full transparency here.
