  • maybe TC69 was scapegoated for the whole thing and that really sucks. i dunno, just felt like a “uhhh this big change isn’t going down well HEY EVERYONE HERE’S TC69 AND THE CHANGES ARE ALL ON THEM oh shit that didn’t work either and now a number of people will definitely never return ever again”

    Nah the initial incident wasn’t on her at all but she threw a bunch of gas on it by being egotistical and a dogshit admin. It is the admin team’s fault for adding two old admins (TC69 and another unknown admin) in the middle of a garbage fire.


  • What’s the current status of moderation rule 6?

    If the user comes back under a new account and continues to make trouble, they will be banned.

    From my reading, banned users are explicitly allowed back if they don’t repeat the behavior (and I know this was definitely the policy in the early days). Catradora_Stalininsm was site-banned for “sustained anti-veganism after repeated warnings and a previous ban” (I can’t find the previous ban, maybe another account?), was unbanned, was banned again for “Violating the terms of previous unbanning (ie. not engaging in antivegan argumentation)”

    From rule 7, it seems like this should be permanent:

    Moderators may choose at their discretion to un-ban the user if it was a first offense and they offer the offended party a genuine apology.

    Instead she came back as HelltakerHomosexual. She was banned for ban evasion, then unbanned, so admins knew who she was. Also Lyudmilla is all but explicit about it here. She had 14 comments removed for hostility, and multiple for anti-veganism, before getting site banned again.

    So would she be welcome back again? Would a ban for “ban evasion” get reversed again?

    It’s probably a similar situation for dsplayer -> melina -> beluga -> waterbottle (actually banned for ban evasion) but I’m not going to dig through the modlog for that right now.
