Bannings
-
Obviously, be aware that blocking an IP can result in losing access to other things hosted on that server unrelated to the website. Not an issue with MSB, I believe, but an important note to remember for future blocking.
-
Much belatedly, I do agree that people should stop going to msb and stirring up stuff. From my reading it is basically giving them the ammo to claim they were in the right and made the right decisions. They are basically claiming everyone who left are meanies.
-
@icanbeyourmuse But I’m a meanie.
-
I cannot bring myself to care what anyone over there is saying or thinking about me. They’ve crafted their narrative that requires them to conduct as little self-reflection as possible, which makes sense. It’s really hard to admit when you are wrong!
I just don’t think that anyone should go over there and bother with them because it’s boring and a waste of time.
-
Power’s been out, got some sleep, chilled out. That last exchange was already my impetus to log out of MSB – wasn’t trying to go over there and start shit, but see if their current most prominent poster (by volume of words, if nothing else) was willing to identify and work on his own issues and hypocrisy. I probably shouldn’t have been venting here, at the same time, but I did mean it when I said I’m out over there. I like starting shit to a degree, but it’s not productive any longer. The wagons are circled and it’s not the place for me. I honestly hope they achieve what they set out for in making it a better, more positive place.
-
@Selira Dunno if starting shit is ever really productive, but yeah.
People are always going to group together for some reason or another. Because humans like their social groups? In the end, it only matters so much as one cares about it.

@Testament this may come as a surprise based on my past characters but I’m a confrontational sort

@Selira I am shocked.

Technically it’s libel, since it’s written down. Which, I believe, is a worse crime.
ETA: I don’t know for sure, though. I think we killed all the lawyers.

… oops?
I made a post about the bannings (as I got home and caught up). Then Derp posted. Then he deleted it but I was 10 paragraphs into my response.
Well, my bad.
Also, not that I’m involved (or my opinion matters in the grand scheme of things), but I respect all of you. I have enjoyed all the interactions even if I didn’t agree. I don’t think this was warranted. I know everyone is joking, but I’m sorry that it happened to you.
Now, back to the lies and slander.

pfft you’d have to actually show up for that
ETA: THIS IS JUST KIDDING BY THE WAY I DO NOT WANT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. I haven’t been doing stuff for WAY longer so please don’t anyone reading this think I’m serious aaaaah.
-
@RightMeow Hopefully someone thought to screengrab his post, because big oof on him deciding to delete it.
-
This is petty and harping of me but… I /still/ am very bothered that jomomo or whatever the name is got to fire personal attacks at everyone leaving/banned but has not faced any consequences. By the standard Derp and Gany have set, jomomjo should have been insta-banned. The comment made in the ethics post was well beyond what most of the banned/formerly banned people said and did. Some reacted very badly but I chalk that up to emotions on high/anger being the primary feeling. Yet jomomomomo has faced nothing.
-
@icanbeyourmuse it’s only personal attacks if it is made against people we like.
like, seriously, though, what he said was worse than what tempest said, and tempest got banned.
I think even Tempest deserves an unban. Taking away the Hogpit and then punishing her for posting outside the Hogpit before you’d put up the new code of conduct felt like bait.
Tempest didn’t deserve to go out that way, not after the years of her shit.

@IoleRae
️ you dork -
@Meg It was and Tempest has said a LOT of horrible things. Like really bad. The comment about everything was especially mild for Tempest. I would /almost/ call it polite. You know, in the way Tempest talks, maybe not so much by a lot of other standards.
