6ix suspended until Monday for a personal attack
Marty suspended for a week for multiple personal attacks.

This gimmick has potential, but is so far just tangential references to forum drama.
Only a temp. Jesus can come back in…

3 days.
Kerowo temp ban for 1 day for deliberately fanning the flames after being asked respectfully not to.
Created a new thread for bickering in BBV. Moved a bunch of stuff there from the moderation vote thread. Future backward looking derail dramas are likely to end up there too.
Smrk banned for 4 weeks for doubling and trippling down on the racism.
Edit. Reduced to 2 weeks based on feedback.
Churchill banned for a week for trolling the covid thread again.
Watevs banned for two weeks for an unprovoked and unnecessary personal attack. Have your opinions dude. Just dont be a dick with it.
David Sklansky perma banned. Theres a thread about it.
Edit. Updated to two weeks while the thread plays out.
Per the vote on bans, @j8i3h289dn3x7’s ban reduced to 2 weeks. @jman220reading silenced instead of banned.
d2e4 given a two week ban pending a permaban, at his request.
I’m giving Jbro a day off. I was really hoping to make it further without banning anyone so I’ll explain this in semi-depth.
- I had very recently given a warning in the same thread, and I think it’s important not to be toothless.
- The severity of personal attack levied (supporting the murder of black children) is the type of thing that I don’t want imbedded in any user’s internet search chain. Please feel free to alert me if you have concerns about anything similar happening to you.
- The ban is intentionally short because I think Jbro is heated but not a bad poster. I’m following through because of reasons #1 and #2 but I welcome him back tomorrow.
- I don’t think I know enough about CN to be particularly biased for or against him, but I promise to keep an eye out for unconscious bias and won’t hesitate to give him a similar judgment in a similar future case.
- I could be wrong about this ban! I’m not perfect! I’m making a qualitative judgment call about where to draw the line in support of community. But again, there’s a reason why it’s a one-day ban. This won’t irreparably harm anyone.
Churchill silenced for 2 days for trolling the COVID thread.
ETA: Specifically for bringing up an already refuted study
@Vict0ar given a 4 hour timeout. Intended to take the heat out of the room a little.
This is in response the run of posts in the covid thread that just got moved to french BBV.
All-InFlynn suspended for a day for a personal attack.
@d2_e4 Silenced a week for personal attack(s) rapidly after resurfacing. In particular, this one is for implying that another poster is a (insert banned word here).
I’m going to experiment with silencing rather than banning for a while. I think if we’re going to view this community as a valuable resource (which it is), then it’s worthwhile to consider how we can temporarily stop users from negatively impacting it while also allowing them to benefit from continued access.
