Any bans I’ve had in the past…well, I won’t claim that they were deserved, but I also won’t argue that they were undeserved, either.
Just imo but I disagree. I’d be shocked if anyone wants to kill the forum. People want to post and have an open discourse. There are constant no-content pileons in this forum which are what would kill the community.
Edit: to be clear I’m not referencing gimmick accounts but actual posters
I might have a few details wrong here, but I seem to recall you being one of the most hated posters on 2+2 to the point where people would say things like the only good thing about Trump being elected was that it meant you got banned. And yet here we are on a new forum years later and you’ve been welcomed back and a good amount of the forum sticks up for you now. If anything maybe that should be a lesson that we shouldn’t permanently write people off.

No one is being written off. People are facing the smallest amount of consequences for their actions. No one is arguing to permanently ban anyone.
We could probably just include this:
These are meant to be guidelines for moderators and the only punishment would be via an RFC to remove a mod if they are explicitly and purposely operating outside of the guidelines.
What’s a “guideline”? (edit. I miied the clarification a few posts back). It must be followed or is just a suggestion? What does #5 mean? Is there really a problem with the modding? My answer to the last question is no so I don’t think passing these 5 rules/guidelines is warranted or necessary.
How about next time this debate comes up someone on one side, say victor, can just post “A” and then someone on the other side. Say goofy, can type “B”. We will all know the full details of what each means and 200 posts and 6 threads can be reduced to two clean letters.
Then in a couple weeks…
Trolly can post “B” and Jonny can post “A”.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Just think of the elegant simplicity. Same message. Two letters.

What’s the bigger problem?

What if I believe that I’m trying to improve both?

They can both be problems, but which one is bigger.
What’s the point?
What’s the point of any of this?
Are there any right wingers here?
I mean, I’m like a quasi capitalist that voted for Biden but is inso gone? He usually stayed within the lines but was full on conservative. Does meb and co support him posting? I prefer that they all post but I get that you guys should have whatever setup that works for the group.
I’d imagine if inso gets the boot, then there is an appetite to rid this place of right wingers which I would say it horseshit - but he could have shelled out donkey porn everywhere, I guess.
Inso got banned for celebrating RBG’s death on here. Until that point he was tolerated.
I get that, but there is literally a thread celebrating right wing deaths. I’ve got no beef with that because I like and know some of you guys irl and respect this place but the decision to ban him for that would seem partisan? Lol. I also get how bad ringers cam be from a certain angle which is why I don’t argue about it.
It was a more innocent time when dancing on her grave was viewed as pretty egregious.
Others have raised their issues with the thread about Covid denier deaths, but I think they’ve at least struck a balance where it can’t be 100% viewed as celebrating deaths. Moreso a cautionary tale of where embracing right wing idiocy goes tragically wrong.
I have no idea on the story I’ll take your word for it. If someone like Mrwookie felt it was right to ban then I’d imagine it was worth it.
I’d enjoy a politics forum with all angles with good faith but I get that it isn’t really possible.
If it were up to me, I would not have banned him for that.
Do we really think of anyone supporting the republicans as acting in good faith? I think the good faith arguments are basically between centrists and leftists, or people who disagree on single issues.
