Okay so seriously, why is Ganymede having this “Burn Them All”-tier ban-fest? Am I missing something here? I don’t get it.

@Meg Someday, I’mma stop answering your posts…

…and you’ll always just have to wonder…

@kalakh said in Bannings:

Someone’s permabanned because they said "fuck you’ to Ganymede in the middle of a drama firestorm?

Dude, I never even got to say fuck you to anyone.

These are the posts that got us PERMANENTLY banned.

It was at the time and remains even now completely arbitrary.

I take it all back, these are horrendous breaches of decorum, smh

@GF We’re for taco Tuesdays, no-pants Fridays, and the violent and utter overthrow of the capitalistic, white-supremacist patriarchy. And tea.

This really does summarize my basic philosophy of life. Except that every day is Taco Tuesday.

Also every day is no-pants Friday, for the lewd TS memes.

I know. We’re the worst. Look at all the vitriol! So many crossed lines!

I also retract my statement about it being arbitrary. Derp is incredibly skittish of women with opinions.

@KarmaBum By Jove, I think you’ve cracked it.

I said fuck you to Ganymede and I’d say it again if I could.

[Jennkryst]

I said ‘if you think those bans were all justified, you might as well ban me too, you cowards’

… more or less, that’s what I meant, they banned me before I could go back and clarify with the edit button. They count it as me requesting to be banned, whatever. Except they said requesting to be banned is no longer a thing they allow. And yet, behold. I am still banned.

@Sam-Hyde For real tho, I don’t think anyone knows, and honestly no one CAN know what someone else is thinking. At this point, it happened.

All we can do is make dumb memes and photoshop EXTREMELY ARTFUL GRAPHICS with faces crossed out that KB worked VERY HARD ON after some VERY HARSH CRITIQUE from meg.

He is so manly though, the way he was like, ‘I don’t know why you think we’re afraid to act, but we aren’t.’ Because really until he said that, it’s what all of us were thinking, that he just doesn’t have the stones — not that he was already visibly chomping at the bit, itching for an excuse to swing his banhammer and silence those pesky dissidents.

I’m glad he established his authority. As you can see on these forums, absolutely no one respects the admins at all, since they’ve yet to threaten anyone. Hopefully someone starts posturing soon, because comparing the activity levels on both boards, it’s clearly a truly necessary component for a healthy, thriving community.

Get posturin’ tez.

@Pyrephox if people do dump cold water all over any new ideas, let’s bully them! Until they stop!

ONLY at dissidents. The whole…

personal attacks, no matter how thinly veiled, are against the code of conduct, and there are at least two of us that will happily bounce you the hell up out of here if you keep it up

bit VERY CLEARLY does not apply to Ghost, who has been regularly making personal attacks with no warning or even acknowledgement. Also incredibly weird they all can make personal attacks against people who have been banned, since they can’t pop up and point out when attacks are made against them.

Almost like it’s a feature and not a bug.

[Testament]

@Jennkryst You know, I’m kind of surprised he hasn’t shown up to defend himself.

[Tez]

He can’t. It would prove everything that is said about him.

Also, he probably doesn’t even go here. He’s never read anything here ever in his life.

ALSO, he left the hobby YEARS AGO, he’s SO BUSY, he’s TOO BUSY TO READ THIS.

[Testament]

@Tez Yes, but ego has a funny way of being able to tell yourself otherwise.

I don’t think MSB has the critical mass of engaged users necessary to function as an active board long term. You need enough people posting to make checking regular updates a thing, so that they’re in turn likely to make a post and continue the cycle. With the majority of active users having moved on to BMD, I think it’s going to be a death spiral into irrelevance. All but a handful of diehards are going to migrate here to post whatever strikes their fancy, or to just read what the community’s up to.

Unless of course the mysterious Silent Majority who totally would’ve loved hanging out on MSB if it weren’t for those people being all toxic and thank goodness they’re gone, actually show up now to make tons of new civilized content. Great debates. Lots of engagement!

I mean, it could happen?

If you don’t do exactly what I say, then no tacos for you. Ever. All tacos disappear from your personal universe.

I have the power.

Don’t make me use it.

holy shit everyone do whatever @Pyrephox says, i am NOT living without tacos
