Is there a gold watch equivalent for a retiring mod? Someone who manages to stick around long enough and decides to peacefully step down without controversy or panic?

We all missed Dr. Eldarion's 20th, but I also don't know when they got the star. According to the single rapsheet entry they've been a mod since 2004 at least.

They get sent to a nice forums upstate where they can post and probate to their hearts content.

From what I recall he was not a mod in early 2002 when I met him at a goon meet.

Like, TVIV didn't exist yet. SAS started during MLB playoffs in 2003 which was the beginning of gameday threads and lots of reaction posting which then became a thing when TVIV showed up later. I forget when TVIV started.

When Something Sensitive was in full swing, that was pretty much their entire endgame. Aside from Aatrek(who's name was public info from him linking his Star Trek articles and stuff) they also tracked down EPW's employer and started harassing them about her too.

It seems like ironically since Kiwifarms became the one stop shop for weird internet hate they aren't directing as much effort into going after every single SA mod because they've cast a net across the entire web for people to target and harass.

Yeah, more recently you have things like KF attempting to doxx ZDR (I think it was) and accidentally doxxing the goatse guy instead.

I think that was my post, and I'm glad to hear he's okay. I'm not sure the forums were a great idea for him -- he was giving off those "I'm a guy with a lot of problems, and I will never solve any of them because I want attention more than I want a better life" vibes I associate with a lot of SA disasters -- but I'm glad he's still got some kind of goon network.

Wasn't there another mod whose dog got doxxed by KF? Like, they'd once used their dogs name to register an account somewhere, so the pro detectives at KF found it then posted the personal info of some guy who happened to have the same name as the mods dog. Or something like that?

When you call out the extremely vain and fickle owner of the website for things that are actually true about them, apparently.

It looks like that poster sucked rear end anyways so it's probably no big loss but still, lmao.

Rhino, you did this to me!

Lowtax was literally permabanning people who posted on twitter (like, to their own followers, not to lowtax) that dragging your daughter onto a stream where you cheer on someone committing suicide was bad. Lowtax fanboys were reporting these people to lowtax who would then ban their SA account.

That's how that gets a perma.
