I guess I’m on ignore.
Generally a good idea.
When jmakin was up for the admin position I considered speaking up because in OOT on 2+2 he had frequent meltdowns where he lashed out viciously. I thought it was a bad idea to give someone like him control of the site.
Unfortunately there was no other candidate in sight, it was either him or no one, so I thought it best to not stir up any drama. As we all know it later turned out he betrayed the trust placed in him.
Now according to the straw poll it doesn’t look like this made him persona non grata. If he will be allowed to keep posting on this site the least that should be done is restrict his user right to TL1 (or something like that) so that he won‘t be able to sabotage the whole site the next time he has an episode.

lol the fact that anyone above tl1 can “sabotage the website” speaks a lot to how fucked this place actually is. i’m not coming back. already made a new space for myself.
and yea i did have some issues on 2p2 that were like over a decade old now, wow what a shocker that people with issues have issues and then change over long periods of time. real shocker.
btw i had shared your concerns which is why i had oreo as backup which honestly is why this place still exists. i had reached a point where i was completely unwilling to touch it anymore and they (rightfully) took it and de-admin’d me.
my new site is not going to have an admin, and admin logs will be public as feasible as that will be.
o btw this is petty but they left me with a $20 bill on the DO account. i was told to talk to spidercrab about it, idgaf about twenty bucks, but quite honestly the amount of time and energy i invested into this for literally free was not insignificant, it really irks me that people are unable or unwilling to understand this. not only that they use it to mock me like i did nothing at all lol. ok bros. you have fun w this dumpster fire, there’s better places out there
sure, probably, but it isn’t weird language considering there are active mega-pm’s right now (i cant see them, I just know about them bc of people that tell me) that are conniving however they think they can play this situation to their advantage. i dont find the language that weird in that context.
Lot of posting and deleting going on in this thread.
They call it the jman.

Well, with a mod twist, since you can use your abilities to make it so that nobody except your target even knew you posted in the first place. No “this message has been deleted” for your posts.
They debunked the idea they’re a “bullshit captain lurker account” last year:
This was the post I deleted in the nefarious plot laid out by jman, I wasn’t able to figure out how to change it from a direct reply to a reply to the thread by editing it so I reposted it.

yea wow impossible for people to make multiple accounts? how does that prove anything? I’m trying to give you benefit of the doubt here but that’s utterly absurd. he’s literally only popped in when I’m involved, as well as 2 users who had supposedly ghosted this place.
you honestly can’t see it?
Go to someone you trust, preferably not someone terminally online (or maybe just a mirror) and say out loud. “There is a group of X (5-10?) people on a spin off politics based website that I used to post on who are so obsessed with me that they spending their free time conniving together and plotting ways to make me look bad to the 100 or so people who post on that site. I have laid traps for them and done extensive research into year+ old threads and PMs in order to expose the conspiracy against me.” See what their reaction is.

ok? this feels a little mean. i’m well aware, as I said I have recently learned I have ASD, I’m well aware how I come off and am perceived both online and irl sometimes, it’s caused quite a bit of distress for me over the years because I never understood why. i dont know what this post is expecting to accomplish. this shit’s literally playing out right now for people to see.
however I’m really tempted to throw a blanket middle finger towards comments trying to criticize my language or tone and STILL no one has said a single thing condemning the vicious bullying around my mental health (THAT IS STILL ONGOING)
These are not the stats of an alt account.
I’m not trying to be combative with you but calling posters “obvious bullshit captain lurkers” is unacceptable.
I’m not intending to be mean but it’s hard to turn off snark mode.
Ah, I see, so when you do it, it’s an innocent mistake, but when I do it, it can’t oossibly be because I have a habit of making a snarky replies to captain vitriol and then I think better of it? Despite the fact that I have repeatedly indicated that’s what’s happening and despite the fact that you could look at the actual deleted posts as a moderator and see that the vast majority of the time it’s not even a snarky post I’ve fucking deleted. But please keep drinking that delicious Captain Koolaid and repeating their talking points, Otatop.
I had actually forgotten that part of Jbro’s definition for “pulling a jman” or whatever was to hide a defamatory post and not just the act of posting and deleting so I apologize.
Fair enough, so do I.
I think you need to decide what you really want.
As tough as this place can be on dissenting voices, I truly believe people here are open minded and forgiving. I think it helps to remember that many here have been following politics passionately for 20+ years. That can’t be easy to do.
Try to learn how to let things go. I am extremely OCD so I understand how tough it is. I sometimes still battle a mind that wants to rehash random arguments from years ago.
Maybe take a few weeks and come back? I think everyone wants you to have a chance just to be a poster but also wants to feel safe.
Thanks for everything you did helping set this place up btw. I can imagine its a unique position to be the man behind the curtain while also feeling estranged mentally.

i literally just want to post in the golf thread
the OT section of this place is awesome and has been for a while til a lot of the good posters left, i dont know why but probably tired of all this crap. since that part of the forum seems essentially dead now the golf thread is nice because most golf discussions are full of utterly spoiled idiot chads.
but i’m quite to the point where I’m done and just letting this play out. i am building my own space and do what I want there.
because I said I would and am about to head off to a dnd event, this is the best I can find referring to what I was talking about last night on 2p2:
starts there. I couldnt find it and much was removed/deleted but he did try to claim at one point that I only knew about his hemorrhoids because of the PM stuff, despite easily being able to look up his TOPIC ABOUT THAT EXACT THING on here and I linked it, which was removed. Lots of stuff like that. Absolutely no one is being honest here that I can tell, so I’m really only engaging with people that I think are.
you can see I am not the aggressor here, this was happening all over the site. I mean I’m accused of and compared to being a criminal or something right off the bat because like… i was an admin and i posted a (not so private anyway) pm?
As far as people feeling afraid, I think a lot of that has to do with the bald faced lies being told by technical incompetents like jalfrezi and ■■■■■■■ which may sound plausible but are total bullshit.
I’ll give you an example. Victor weakly tried to imply last night I was “watching” his repo. It’s hilarious to see this, for me (and I do have to correct an earlier statement - I thought I didnt have a github account at all, but I do) because by default every repository has 1 watcher and its the user that created it. So obviously victor was the watcher of those repos and tried to act like it was me. Lots of crap like that.
I don’t know how to prove or tell you that I can’t do anything lol. I have zero access to this website! Ask your fucking admin. The fact you or he won’t tells me a lot. If he can’t figure it out, he shouldn’t be admin IMO. I’m working on a technical vid that I know no one will watch to explain it a bit more but it feels fairly pointless due to the lies being told. I’m still not sure what even the fear is here, but I assure you, not only can I not do 1/50000000th of what you are being told, I have absolutely no desire to, and even if I did, stuff easily exhausts me nowadays and there’s no way I could finish it.
Please, just listen to reason. Victor is an actual moron.
