so does Nyc_Tattoo not having any posts make it more difficult to take administrative action on his account? could this be an additional reason for him not having any posts?

please dont take this question antagonistically, i'm just asking a question on how this radium code works

How can we be sure that Nyc_Tattoo isn't some Nazi acting like a goon in order to fit in and spy on us. Just asking some questions

Honestly I just want everyone to admit everything was a terrible loving idea and realize that maybe things should be more transparent cause the sort of insular mod culture that could convince someone it was a GOOD IDEA TO GO DEEP COVER IN RACIST DISCORDS isn't a good culture to foster!

From what I've read, Jeff of Yospos is doing good coding work and that's important. Just... everyone should step back and realize how loving crazy this idea was and think to themselves p hard about how it came to this.

maybe, just maybe, it was known a century ago that unreformed technical experts are a necessary evil but need a commissar to keep them honest

if he needs buttons for development purposes, fine, but if he touches them outside of that it should be under immediate review

This is an obvious terrible idea that accomplishes nothing unless what you want to do is talk with racists while maintaining some deniability about chattin' up those racists.

Jeffrey of yospos, you need to resign. you are apparently a ringleader in one of the dumbest spy operations of all time. you put people here on sa at substantial risk to run a harebrained scheme that could have been completely compromised. we're relying on the moderators as judges of character to say that PPJ definitely was not ever turned and didn’t do anything wrong in order to buy credibility. who is going to respect you? anyone can quote your post from the Reopen QCS thread at you to own you forever.

PPJ self-permabanning is definitely him taking the easy way out unless the mods actually decide to address all this bullshit in a meaningful way other than probating people for making fun of them

this is why they've been so stupidly cagey about adding new mods

they either had to perform extensive sweeps of their secret forum to keep this secret from new arrivals, or could only take on new mods they could trust to not immediately blab to the community about this insanely stupid plan

Schnorkles

It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.
i just want to quickly state that ppj perma banning himself not only wasn't necessary, it is the consequence of a series of terrible decisions made by the moderation team over the last few weeks.

The administration has not acted in good faith, not engaged in good faith, and just done whatever the gently caress it felt like. Whenever a forum would get out of hand, we'd get a few paragraphs of "oh here you go now go away and shut up" and it was loving absurd.

Here's the reason this matters:

This is a community. We exist in this community. Some of us care deeply about other members of this community. With your total ineptitude, you have shattered portions of OUR community. My friends are gone. They can't or won't come back, and it is completely and totally because of your actions. We stay and get angry because we WANT to be here, and we want to work with moderators who engage with us in good faith and are part of the community that we built.

If you can't understand that, and its clear that basically none of you do, then you need leave. And now.
