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.

@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.

@anon46488499 suspended two weeks following their request for a perma. I hope they change their mind, but will follow-through with a perma if they feel the same way in 14 days.

Jman and Jalfrezi both silenced for a week for personal attacks.
They’ve been warned on this specific topic before I believe. It’s the “ghetto blaster”/"locking up black kids"beef

Perma for antivax detector dog.
I dont see this account adding any value. Its primarily a mechanism for a personal attack.
Whether those attacks are valid is a separate question, but the attack should be made from their own account.
I recognize that theres supposed to be different rules for permas. Im taking what I think is a common sense view that gimmicks can be banned at a lower standard.
If there are strong views otherwise, happy to reconsider.
