Lol I’m reading the normal threads I would normally read and not following saint wookie anywhere.
And it is an insulting post, probably much more so than just using a word like ■■■■ to describe Boris Johnson, as an example.
How many times do you get to challenge my posts today before I can accuse you of stalking me?
Great, then we agree that we can both carry on doing us. Cheerio.
I have been ignoring all of these threads for well over a month and only read this post because you @'ed me. Before I go back to ignoring it all I would like to go on record as saying I did not quit because of stress. I quit because I was pissed off, and I remain very angry.
I’m not mad at you for anything Smacc, but I’d prefer not to be @'ed in any of these threads because being reminded of all this shit just makes me angrier.
Doing what zikzak did and ignoring this subforum. All these threads popping up constantly with drama is obnoxious. Some people can’t behave, just ban them. Democracy sucks.
Again, it’s hard to just ban them all when some of them are mods.
Can I check why this was closed - or did I miss the reason - seemed a fairly unanimous decision to keep it open
Yeah what’s with that?
I’m sorry, I locked the wrong thread. I intended to lock the old one that was approaching 10k posts, as that is a software limitation. Fixed now.
In the log of key moderator ooptions it indicates that Jbro was permabanned at his request. That is not in line with our current rules. He should have been given a cooling off period first.
Why did jbro leave?
This is all so bad for our community.
Jesus.
No idea, I’m grunching. I stopped following the dramabomb threads yesterday. I guess something else happened there.
That rule is stupid. If he wants to come back I’m sure he can create a new account. If he wanted the same username I’m sure we could make it so.
The way we’re running this board is a complete disaster. There are no decision makers and not making a decision is the worst decision when every decision requires a 300+ post threadnaught of dramatic doom. It just means you get to do it again the next week.
I obviously have very different ideas about what this place is for than a lot of the other posters. I think that lack of a concrete mission is behind a lot of this.
I don’t know the answer, but on the one thread i was following there were double digits users dropping in to say “just ban them” referring to the group floating their disagreements.
So i guess mission accomplished.
He didn’t give a reason. I would say “search his posts”, but jesus it sucks that search only returns one post per thread.
You can do something like search this thread for posts by him and order by latest.

You can do that for other dramathreads.
Have a guess!
If I were to tell you I’d be banned again.
Jbro’s account is suspended permanently. I think maybe that didn’t use to be an option.
I have his email and will email him because I hope we can stay in touch. If he wants to stay in touch with me or anyone else here he can get his account unsuspended.
We have an actual rule?
AFAIK this has been done before. With cuse it got messy, but that was a weird situation.
From the TOS, we state:
You agree to be responsible for all action taken using your account, whether authorized by you or not, until you either close your account or notify the company that your account has been compromised. You agree to notify the company immediately if you suspect your account has been compromised. You agree to select a secure password for your account, and keep it secret.
Now people can lawyer this up all they want but my interpretation of the TOS is that the website does not own user’s content or their accounts. We are holding users liable for their own content. If someone wants to leave the site permanently, why should they continue to have this liability if they don’t want it? What if they get hacked and someone starts posting child porn all over the place? If I was leaving the site I would want my account banned/closed/deleted as well. And, he is always welcome to come back.
He didn’t want a big deal made of this, so don’t make a big deal of it, in my opinion.
Things blow up on slow news days/weeks. And lots of posters are completely oblivious to all this. It’s trivially easy to mute threads and just talk about what you’re interested in.
Whatever you were talking about, it sure wasn’t the c-word anymore. If you want to do a memoriam for posters who aren’t posting anymore, that’s fine too.
