LikeClockwork suspended two weeks by request.
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.
jalfrezi and churchill banned for a week for ongoing trolling of the COVID and bickering threads, specifically these posts:
That aspiration video was fact-checked by a German cardiologist and an Australian vaccinolgist but the guy who orders the leg cast probably knows best
Jbro banned for a week for clear escalation in the poker hands thread.
You’ve been calling people trolls and assholes and insulting people ITT, but I’m causing drama for asking you to speak for yourself instead of pretending everyone ITT agrees with you. Seriously go fuck yourself with a 2x4.
I don’t follow that thread so may be missing context. In particular, if there were posts by @clovis8 that were equally out of line, please flag and we will take a look.
Jbro silenced for 3 days after a personal attack and escalation after I issued a blanket warning to the thread.
Suspended Jbro for a week based on his advice. Verbal abuse to mods in PMs should be moderated to the same standards as if it were an open post on the forum.
Swearing at mods via PM or swearing in a PM to a mod about something else seem like two different things to me: one bad and one whatever. But yeah abusive PMs should probably be moderated to the same standards as if it was an open post in the forum? I think that makes sense?
Silenced Marty and Alex for ignoring the warning in the COVID thread until tomorrow.
I changed @Jalfrezi’s avatar so it wasn’t an oblique reference to past forum drama. Complaints go here.
Weird. Not sure of the timelines. But I thought I had done that about 4 hours earlier.
So. I guess… +1?
Jalfrezi banned for 2 weeks for his neverending trolling of other users.
December 2022 edit: It was specifically for these posts

I have no problem with this. I’d rather frezi shut the fuck up and not respond to any of my posts ever again. I’ll go ahead and do the same to his. At this point I only tend to post here anyway when he or Jbro are on one of their regular one week timeouts, so I’ll probably peace out for a bit anyway until the next time one of them eats a ban.

But he had a new avatar!
Maybe you see a doctor about that.
Jbro banned until Monday morning for rehashing ancient grudges.
Why don’t you share all the PMs that you had with Cuse and others? I’m sure they were very very high brow. BTW how did that alternate site you were working on turn out?
JohnnyTruant banned until Monday morning for rehashing ancient grudges.
To be fair, nobody knows what ikes thinks about Rittenhouse.
churchill silenced for 2 weeks for ignoring moderator warnings in the COVID thread
@Churchill knock off this continuous shitting on USA’s testing and not finding a case.
seems like ‘dozens’ of ROW countries made you guys find a faster way. Congrats, it’s a big club you’re joining. North Korea and Uzbekistan next to find it.
I’m happy to let them take pride in their patriotism. Let sleeping dogs lie and all that. Most likely a weekend or thanksgiving delay.
Deleted FidgetUK’s posts and account by request.
Permanently banned @badpostingdog and removed references to posters being dumbasses and idiots from their profile.
■■■■■■■ banned until Monday for trolling the COVID thread
best Covid thread on the internet!
fearmongering antivaxxer. and thread ruiner.
Knock this stupidity off.
I just want Jal and Churchill to leave. then we can get back the lurkers popping in to praise how amazing the conversation is.
no one is praising Jal and Church. imagine how much rejoicing there would be if you banned them permanently!
Deleted Marty’s posts and account by request.
Johnny suspended for 24 hours for continuing the dickishness after being asked not to.
Yes. I’m aware this is super subjective. But deliberately maintaining the feud even while making some effort to toe the line definitely counts in my book.
Just stop it y’all. Jesus.
Vict0ar suspended for 24 hours for ignoring Rugbys warning and trying to restart drama in the COVID thread.
