That was in response to the post about blm he made that everyone itt was vaguely remembering before, which was in itself responding to the same political compass meme.

top-right: pointless chud convention that dragged the liberals even more to the hard right

bottom-left: wandering the streets as the cops tear gas and beat the poo poo out of them as the politicians looked down and whispered “lol, no,” resulting in zero change, then they all endorsed and elected a warmongering rapist who militarized the cops and criminalized black lives

bottom-right: some no-name hedge fund got egg on its face in what will either collapse the economy or, more likely, the Biden administration gives even more power to Wall Street

just embarrassing fiction of imagining a person in your head and trying to own them by writing even more fan-fiction about yourself

so how was taintrunner not run out of here long before now given how many posters are tripping over each other to talk about how much they couldn't stand that guy

idk for some reason cspam mods stopped forumbanning people a long time ago for offenses that rise above a regular ban but below a permaban. which is certainly where TR had landed due to lifetime achievement before he was revealed as needing a perma immediately

it worked on fishmech. it is an appropriate punishment for people who are centralizing, negative figures across the subforum. taintrunner long ago violated the central rule of cspam - don't be fishmech. the fact that he put a ushanka on the wrecker gimmick like a classic trot shouldn't have disguised his nature

There's a lot of people on this forum who admired him for having couraged they lacked to make the same extremely bad post about the Democrats being bad over and over

I can't speak for anybody else but in my own beefs with him, he was just an exhausting person to deal with and had seemingly limitless slapfight energy himself so engaging with him felt like a huge waste of time, especially since he'd go LOL DIDNT READ if someone ever did stick it out long enough to back him into a corner with how incoherent his bit was

I mean, even someone just bringing up the idea of threadbanning people was met with nearly universal outrage

also in the case of taintrunner, a forums ban doesn't make any sense, where else could he possibly post?

I was pushing back against him since july, after the election was when it got really bad

so now that the world's worst poster is gone can we have our thread back with a dedicated IK to keep weird rapists from starting cults of personality and getting the thread gassed

threadbanning wasn't met with outrage, just befuddlement. just chain probe someone or probe them for two weeks or regular ban them if you're asking "should this person be threadbanned or forumbanned?"

No wonder mods have a persecution complex and live in quaking fear of cspam posters if that's an example of "universal outrage" lmao

that's exactly what would have been appropriate and funny about forumbanning taintrunner. where else could he post in the way he wanted to?

threadbans are sort of bad because they promote thread insularity. someone being able to post in one part of cspam but not another doesn't make sense because most cspam posters post in a lot of threads. but forumbans were literally the stick that this subforum was built with and they represent a judgment by the community that someone sucks too much to post about politics without really harming their posting career where they analyze the thundercats cartoon in CineD or whatever

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

the two don't serve the same function - threadbanning is used when someone has been consistently making GBS threads up a single thread for a long time

a forum ban is at the top of the ramp when they have been making GBS threads up an entire forum for a while - but usually by the time they get to that point there isn't really a reason you wouldn't just ban or perma them. So a forum ban is more apt for the special case of someone who only posts shittily in one specific forum as part of a cross-forum war or something

threadbanning and subforum banning might not work, but what about allowing posters to only post on certain page numbers (e.g, 2, 7, ä, 19) :thunk:
