MaxCut is a founder member ffs.

@econophile

I have an idea who the first two are.

I requested anonymization like a month ago in lieu of otatop banning me for daring to reply to his PM when I was arguing with him about his moderation.

I never intended on banning you, you were the one who repeatedly made wild claims that I would ban you for a week if you made a post like others had made and not received bans. I didn’t anonymize you when you first asked for it because you kept posting which to me seemed like something that went against requesting anonymization.

Why’d you bring it up yesterday?

Forum Warz point scoring

Nothing quite as good as being trolled by mods who then ban people for allegedly trolling.

Everyone knows who the accounts are that voted No on Wookie. You’re all just creating ex post facto rule revisions because you don’t like those people and don’t want their votes to count.

The accounts at issues are MrJbroRisen, MaxCut, TimBuktuuf and ThoughImPoorIAmFree. I have an idea who the first two are. Do you know who the last two are? Feel free to reply by PM.

Edit: I’ve got one of these wrong. TimBuktuff is not a recent joiner.

PoorFree does not have a vote recorded afaict?

Because the account was immediately deleted by potato?

Busy day and I’m tired and have a headache so if I’m wrong about this it isn’t intentional. But is what I said true? If so then why is it contested, it doesn’t change the results?

[Tilted]

I’m thankful for this forum because it provides someone in their 30’s prime examples of how to not age gracefully into my 40’s. Thank you all.

@hokie

I’m sure that is sometimes the case, I just don’t think it’s always the case and wanted to note that there are legit reasons for wanting to remove association with previous posts and caution against making any new rules because of voting concerns.

It’s functionally impossible to create community rules here, so it’s ultimately up to whoever has the authority to do this now that yet another admin has been driven off. I’d kindly request of this admin that they not grant bad-faith requests that jeopardize the site because it’s unfair to the adults in the room.

If accounts can be anonymized without any risk to the site then that’s fine; let people have fun nuking themselves and re-registering as much as they like.

Sir I’m 29. I’ve always been 29, and I’ll be 29 until the day I die

this vote was removed. but it was mine. from a song called Victoria. thought I was clever.

[econophile]

Thanks for clarifying

[Trolly]

@cassette

I’m not sure how this rumour got started

You know perfectly well it’s something one of the admins or mods warned us about a few weeks ago. I’m reluctant to drag them into this shitstorm, but they want to clarify the situation, that might be helpful.

[Jalfrezi]

Nonsense “breaking the site” indeed.

Admins should only be doing things like changing people’s status when they become mods or resign from being mods. Mods can anonymize anyone who asks and used to be able to delete users but the settings were changed so that only admins could delete users.

@anon59375068

Why’d you bring it up yesterday?

I’ll go ahead and guess that it’s because you were annoyed I hearted a couple of your posts. Well, sure, that can be annoying. I don’t care about the 100 or whatever posts I made with the Keeed 2.0 account (no one does and anyone who says differently is lying/point scoring). And I knew that I could then immediately like your post with Keeed 3.0, which is a good joke. Anyway, you offered to anonymize my 100 post account out of spite, I agreed out of spite, and then re-registered and liked your posts out of spite. What’s the harm? 100 posts no one was ever going to read again changed names from Senor Keed to anon 23433? If someone says they care they’re lying.

[econophile]

You’re right. I just wanted to find out who that account was since it did cast a vote.

I never said there was any.

[clovis8]

This really is the rare case where everyone, on both sides, comes our looking terrible. It’s pure distilled lose lose.

Does either anonymizing or deleting accounts pose any risk to the integrity of the site?

[otatop]

Deleting accounts doesn’t necessarily change the integrity of the site but it totally fucks up reading old threads when there are gaps in the replies and responses to posts that no longer exist. Anonymization preserves discussions by just changing the username globally.
