I've never been banned before, so want to be able to have access to my computer to re-up from. There's no incentive to toxx and no requirement to do it.

The only thing the left wants now is blood, and you're only allowed to play by the centre-right wing's rules otherwise you become the bad guy or some other appeasement bullshit like that.Up to a full five pages and counting.

We're up to $680 in and counting in reregs alone, not even including avs, tags, and people deciding to just buy new accounts. Kazinsal posted:Up to a full five pages and counting. Pretty sure that's the entire posting base of C-SPAM dusted. C-Spam averages over 1000 posters a day, and five pages is only about two to three hundred. So I'm guessing not.

Given the unofficial Avshalom approach for years has been "let her post until she misbehaves," as it is for most goons, the admins chatted and decided there was no reason not to make that approach official. The permaban was typically invoked only when she'd made a post she would have been banned for anyway, so we felt that lifting it would effectively change nothing. Conversely, we could think of no compelling reasons to keep it in place.

Then whats the loving point? At what point does Avs finally get told to gently caress off? I love the quail thread, too, but spraying poo poo in a mental health thread was going too drat far.

She was banned for it by the mod (and admin) of that forum, just like any other poster would have been.

And immediately *un*-banned the very next day. She has been perma'd like three drat times now. Most people, y'know, only get one.

The point is to just ban her for posts others would be banned for, rather than giving her permas for posts other would only be banned for. Does that not make sense?

The original permaban was for threatening a politician, which was edited out and she apologized for. The subsequent bans were for unrelated posts. We don't see any genuine reason to maintain this permaban.

She was perma'd once and it was informally lifted by ZDR and co, years ago, and it being reissued a few times over the years is only because not everyone got the memo that it was informally lifted. That post was bad and she got banned for it like anyone else would. I think her posts are generally good though and I'd rather have them around and so, a regular ban is more appropriate.

Well, would you please articulate to me why you feel it necessary to keep a permaban in place? Permabans are meant to label the worst of the worst, and she is still being punished appropriately for her posting.

We don't see any genuine reason to maintain this permaban. All the other people who got secret service subpoenas sent to Lowtax now getting their permas reversed too? I feel like "yes she threatened the president but she apologized gosh secret service chill out" isn't a good hill to plant a flag on.

As far as I am aware, the typical response to a post similar to hers is a ban, but as Lowtax was the one to spot it he was understandably upset. We feel that three years has been time served. Lowtax himself, for that matter, has no objection to the reversal of a permaban status.

Make whatever excuses you want you're the one with the power to decide its not like we elect mods/admins but this is literally the same logic that was used to keep fyad and the assocated "ironic" nazis around for years while a lot of people were raising the issue. This place is fast and loose with the rules but "well we like this person" is an extremely bad precedent to set down as an excuse to overrule permabans since, again, literally the exact thing used to defend fyad for years on end. Ex didn't use hate speech. Didn't advocate immediate violence, is just a glib rear end in a top hat etc. would be enough to justify it.
