@KarmaBum earlier today I told someone I mute all WoD threads and said “I am to WoD what KB is to Arx.”

I do not understand how Kestrel got banned, yet that post I wrote flatly condemning everyone still at MSB is somehow okay, presumably because I said “I think” or “I feel” or “This place reminds me of” rather than “You are.”

Except of course I understand how Kestrel got banned. She embarrassed the new regime, and this sin above all others must never be tolerated. It’s not even subtle. Fuck’s sake.

I am somehow both these things. That said, I got a smile when the WoD thread popped up because it felt like a constant in this chaotic universe we dwell in.

Edited to Add: Oh, yeah, and Kestrel’s ban was 200% bullshit even on the level of the other bans, but I leave MSB in the kindly and civil hands of Ghost. May it prosper.

@Third-Eye If a mush forum exists, there will be someone to create a WoD thread to gripe about.

@sao said in Bannings:

I find this one especially funny because Ganymede’s stated defense to the accusation that they weren’t banning all the people who call out predators was that @Kestrel (and @Aria, I think?) weren’t banned.

I believe the actual reason I wasn’t banned was because I didn’t participate in that shitshow when it all went down.

In fact, I actually didn’t know it was happening for several days because apparently when you block someone on MSB, that includes any thread they start regardless of who posts in it, not just their personal posts. Poor @Testament had to explain to me what was going on when I was like “The fuck? What is this? Why is this thread being necro’d? Why am I being @-ed in random things? What?”

So I was just toddling around like a blissful idiot while Rome burned, oblivious to what was going on. It was actually kind of nice. I encourage you all to embrace your inner I-Have-No-Idea-What’s-Happening.

That’s enough of a reason for them, actually. (emphasis added to make the point)

I’m almost positive you’ve said it in some other part of this forum, lol. Or maybe I just daydream about you telling all of us to get back to the Arx corner.

You’re probably right but i still feel like this (clown) car has surprisingly few dents in it given how bad y’all historically are at obeying traffic laws!!!<3!!!

Well you used a metaphor to do it, and that can be confusing.

Like I think there’s a 99% chance they thought, ‘Wow GF is right. Women really are evil, I am just like the persecuted hero protagonist of critically acclaimed 2003 film, the Room.’

Can you even call yourself a woman if you don’t have a collection of burlap-wrapped and bedazzled mason jars containing the hearts and balls of men you’ve destroyed?

I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s been reading MSB with Tommy Wiseau’s The Room voice in my head these days.

Aria

Oh, god.

One of my friends just posted this on her timeline and while not directly relevant, the timing of switching between this thread and seeing her page made me laugh as much as the content did.

There were some mentions made awhile back that some of the bannings were due to inappropriate PMs. To be clear, there was one due to DMs, Farfalla, as was announced on the forum at the time, and one banning based on reported predatory behavior. Those were not reconsidered at all, and anything attributed to those should not be lumped in with the rest of the bans.

rofl, derp, my dude. my guy. farfalla’s ban was reconsidered and reversed. maybe you are absolutely shit at phrasing, but you might wanna edit this. clear up more of your own and your staff’s confusing ass phrasing.

I was never given a direct warning to stop posting.
