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

speaking personally here: around the time when tajntrunner and co made the succ zone unreadable, and after i had been called a lib for the nth time for not being affectively invested in a fated-to-fail parliamentary manuever ('force the vote' lol) i checked out of these forums, signed up for the rhizzone, and got deep into my hegel reading.

i'm sure i'm not the only one that was like "gently caress this lol" and started spending their time on other things

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

a forum ban is not less than a ban. it is more than a ban, a partial perma for the sections of the forum that a person clearly cannot handle posting in without completely losing their poo poo. imo, taintrunner crossed that line a while ago, but was perhaps capable of posting like a normal person in tviv or games or whatever.

like there's a reason fishmech is the example i'm using. at the time she was forumbanned, there was absolutely no will on the part of any mod to perma her. you could not have convinced an admin that her conduct had met the standards for that, because the despair we felt at her posts was something cultivated over years and years of digesting this awful, lovely gimmick. taint was in a very similar position where he was corrosive to the fabric of the subforum without having any obviously perma-worthy posts at all.

you see? this is precisely the fishmech effect. force the good posters to check out so that you're left with a wasteland of morons

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.
