Breaking Blathering 6

[Stardust]

That graph is explained by the current blatant disregard of due process. I was banned for "habitual trolling" without ever having received a single infraction for trolling.

[( G_R )]

Iridium has even admitted that I was banned for "almost breaking the rules a lot".

[Stardust]

How many times did they PM you about your habitual trolling?

[DroppinSuga]

I got the banhammer from Stardust himself! It's corruption at it's finest!

[( G_R )]

Zero

[Stardust]

Zero

Yeah, that's pretty fucked up then. Like, beyond Madding levels of fucked up.

[Col. Khaddafi]

I think the mods have really softened since, particularly in the last few months of 2012.

They're a real bunch of softies allright

[Stardust]

I got the banhammer from Stardust himself! It's corruption at it's finest!

Really? I don't remember that at all.

Then again, those were the glory days, banning left and right with no thought to the consequences... Oh to be a mod and free again...

[Col. Khaddafi]

Challenge: Can you do the same graph except with bannings/users/year?

I didn't make that graph. Sene did. I pulled it from a CI thread.

More than they used to be. More than you give them credit for. The Gutter fiasco is a separate issue though, too. That was rough. I'm just talking on
the forum at large.

Heh, maybe I'll mod Suga
just so I can ban him.

[DroppinSuga]

I demand that the Watchdogs allow a 3rd party to watch over their actions!

[Stardust]

I had a third party. rezombad. That didn't work out once you guys started buying him off.

[( G_R )]

Ben has an aversion for the word "joder". Google translates it as "fuck", and in some countries it might be the equivalent, but it hasn't been as strong a word in the land of the Maya for a while, since we use a stronger word instead: "chimar"

Then you have the philosophical argument about whether posting a bunch of smilies can count as censor evasion in the first place.

You really have to be desperate when you feel the need to pull a "cards per post" graph for trying to justify your actions.

Since you know... as a sandwich artist and aspiring engineer you know you can make any graph to sustain any point of view. Hence why the graph of the bannings per year wasn't put forward. It would display an uglier picture (as I told in that thread before my post was deleted and the gimmick account banned without even being reported in the banned thread, because y'a know, it would make the numbers look even worse...

I think Clans took a beating too, and not mentioning FoS only, there was the
Soundtrack, the NYC who moved to facebook because they didn't felt welcome anymore, and the Called, the personal staff clan where they keep it on life support without even enforcing clan rules wherein The Called should have been retired months ago (3 "active" members, thread can go for weeks without any single post).

In Spain, joder is as harsh a word as "Damn".

Though not in Lapdoglandia prolly

[imopen2]

Yes. The staff is now afraid to give infractions because get have PTSD from the forum war. Now they use bannings and sweep it under the rug

[imopen2]

Call stardust if you find me under a rug.

[rezombad]

account banned without even being reported in the banned thread

This happens a lot.

[Col. Khaddafi]

Sweeping stuff under the rug is the classic modus operandi of any totalitarian regime so its no surprise that such tactics would eventually find a way to the bright minds of iridium

[Kaitscralt]

Remember when Rei posted here under duress because I threatened to hack his account and post for him otherwise?

[Col. Khaddafi]

Remember when this site was almost hacked but then it turned out that it was some rogue hacking computer program accidentally left on by an unsuspecting staff member of MTGS?

Pendulum's actually banned, right? Like, really.

Aww, it's so cute that you think I'd bother to save you.

so a little kid is wearing his dads welding mask in the yard when a sexual predator pulls up in a van

the kid gets in the van wearing the welding mask and they start driving

the kidnapper says, 'do you know anything about frenching?'

the kid shakes his head no

the kidnapper says, 'do you know anything about fellatio?'

the kid shakes his head no

the kidnapper says, 'do you know anything about sodomy?'

the little kid lifts up the welders mask and says, 'i have to tell you, i'm not a real welder'

I know what all three of those words mean, so I must be a real welder! Sandwich artist that, Scumbag!

Were you actually a gimmick all that time? All of your suspensions were mid-2013, long after I resigned. Who were you before that?

[Checkbox]

GR where's my avvy

I explained in tbgte but then I was told you can't see that. Long story short: gimme a few days.

yup kpaca got mad at me then gbanned me

[Kaitscralt]

It was bound to happen eventually.

[Kaitscralt]

Or as my phone tried to correct to, it was Boubs to happen eventually.

Because he's the hero
Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dark Knight.

[Kaitscralt]

a boy knight

[Checkbox]

Oh cause he's black

I get it
