Banned @MrJbroRisen an additional 4 days for personal attacks on otatop in PM. Given that he’s now over the 4-day threshold he’s suspended instead of silenced.
Suspended @Churchill 2 weeks for posting my initials again.
This time in a screenshot of his original post, which he deleted after I removed the offending screenshot and while I was clicking the buttons to suspend him.
Suspended @MaxCut for four days for a personal attack (co-signing telling otatop “Fuck yourself you fascist pig.”)

Suspended @MaxCutAlt forever for circumventing his ban, and adding 1 week to the 4-day ban of @MaxCut for circumventing it.
Silenced @boredsocial for 1 day for referencing old drama (referring to a group as “captains” and referencing their leaked PM thread).

Silenced @Trolly for 1 day for either a personal attack or referencing old drama, depending on how you view it. I considered it a personal attack and edited it out of this post:
It previously said:
“Jalfreizi’s organized trolling brigade”
instead of
“a group of organized posters that includes Jalfrezi”
Permanently suspended @dadbud which is @cassette circumventing his ban. Adding 4 days to his ban, as well, for circumventing it.
Suspended @MaxCutAntifa forever for circumventing his ban again, adding 2 weeks to the previous suspension of @MaxCut for circumventing it/personal attacks:

Edit on 11/29: Suspended @MaxCutNoMalarkey forever for circumventing his ban again. Granting some leniency this time since there were no personal attacks with it and his main account is already suspended until 12/22 as the result of six incidents of personal attacks/trolling/old drama and four ban circumventions (@MaxCutGimmick @MaxCutAlt @MaxCutAntifa @MaxCutNoMalarkey) and I am really hoping he will knock it off with the ban circumvention and personal attacks and return on 12/22 without further incident. Edit, 12/1: Deleted another new account circumventing the ban. Edit, 12/2: Deleted another new account circumventing the ban.
Edit, 12/3: Suspended another one forever for circumventing. Choosing to be charitable and not taking any additional action on now the 7th circumvention of this ban. Edit, 12/3 again: Suspended another one forever, registered a new one to PM me to complain about the previous one. Again, charitably not extending the original suspension but warned him that enough was enough. Edit, 12/3 again: Alright, enough’s enough. Permanently suspended @MaxCut_4thAmendment. He’s now circumvented the ban nine times, most to stir up more drama. I gave him four or five freebies but this can’t go on forever, and this is the third time today. Adding one month to the original suspension.
Edit, 12/4: Deleted new user @MaxCutLikes and blocked his IP, as he created 3 new usernames in the last 32 minutes on top of his previous 9? 10? circumventions and a couple other accounts he created in the last few days but didn’t use. I’ll undo the IP ban when his normal ban subsides.
Warnings issued to @Riverman and @WichitaDM for some personal attacks/abusive posting in the Crapto thread.
Silenced @T7split and @RonFromSanDiego for two weeks as obvious sock puppets/gimmicks here to cause drama. No way a new user is going directly/almost directly to About Moderation.
I plan to permanently suspend them after the two weeks, just leaving it at two weeks for now on the off chance that we somehow got a new user who’s immediately interested in the inner workings of the About Moderation thread and wants to argue their case.
Edit 12/2: Deleted @RonFromSanDiegoReads after he posted in About Moderation to complain about being silenced.
Edit 12/2: Deleted @ColonelRonaffi for being a brand new obvious gimmick only here to troll.
Edit 12/3: Suspended another RonFromSomewhere account as a brand new obvious gimmick only here to troll about old drama.
Edit 12/3: Suspended @RonFromMunchen forever as a brand new obvious gimmick only here to troll about old drama.
Edit 12/3: Suspended @RonaldoFromJuarez forever, ditto.
Next time I’m taking all the Ron gimmicks.
Edit 12/3: Suspended @RonFromPhoenix forever, ditto. Not doing this one by one so @RonFromSanDiego @RahnFromBonn @ComradeRon @RonFromHell are permanently suspended as well.
Suspended @j8i3h289dn3x7 one day for personal attacks:
https://unstuckpolitics.com/t/about-moderation/8826/2405?u=commonwealth
Permanently suspended @CNsBuddy for being an obvious gimmick here to disrupt (by signing up and immediately flagging ~10 posts as their first action).
Set @Jalfrezi to TL0 so he can’t flag posts. I’ll restore this in two weeks if he asks (can’t set it on a timer as far as I know).
Permanently banned @Forechecker for creating multiple sockpuppet accounts impersonating other users.
