Bannings

@Meg ESPECIALLY since they are still likely locked and invisible to anyone who wants to investigate just what the fuck happened.

[Herja]

@Meg I 100% deserved my ban. I used clown emojis and everything.

[IoleRae]

It was leave or be banned via the new rules for me, and I didn’t particularly want to give anybody the “see we even banned SUNNY” fodder. And those rules are a bastardization of what I’ve been saying they need to be since I was a damn mod there in the stone age, so it’s not like I have a problem with them.

But oh look, people are allowed to needle and taunt, but heaven help you if you respond to it.

What really, really, really upsets me about this whole deal is that yet again, the people doing actual real damage to hurt people…won. Great.

It actually looks like the Hog Pit has been reopened even for folks without logins.

@Herja
Same, I’m OK with being OK with my ban, you don’t say ‘fuck you, @moderator’ and not know how it’s going to end. I am on Reddit. I know the score with this stuff. I have been more bummed about MSB going the way it’s gone than I thought I would be, for lots of reasons, but I think things’ll settle eventually (what incarnation of these boards are we on now? 6.0?) and I don’t wish anyone ill.

I’m honestly still the most pissed about Farfalla’s initial ban because it was so grossly obviously manipulation on Macha’s part.

[sao]

@sao But yes, @Meg and @Narson were completely not banworthy. @Meg even posted the same thing as Cobalt, who was not banned by virtue of being Cobalt I guess.

[Herja]

@Third-Eye Exactly. I knew exactly what I was doing when I posted what I did. I have no plans to ever go back to any forum with Derp OR Ganymede at the helm. I know what that looks like and no thanks forever.

ETA: Farfalla getting banned was my breaking point. I was content to just pack my shit and leave quietly in the night, but then that happened and my Mouthy Wench gene activated.

[Narson]

@sao Thanks! Ah well, I honestly don’t mind too much. It’s gone and dead - I never cared about a forum, only ever the community. So with that moving, there is really nothing there. Other than I guess weird seething 10 year old feuds people have been clinging onto while everyone else forgot who they even were.

But your Mouthy Wench evolution is so glorious to witness …!

I think a lot of us were otherwise just gonna walk away - till that happened. Which really would’ve meant the death of the community.

So I’m glad that this happened instead.

But still.

LOL banned from MSB

for breaking a “rule” that got made up after we got banned

[BloodAngel]

@KarmaBum NO FLAG NO COUNTRY! This is the rule I just made up!

[crawfish]

@KarmaBum There needs to be a ‘Banned from MSB’ flair! Flare? SOMETHING.

[Jennkryst]
