I liked Fragmaster but that was a really terrible way to handle things. I don't get it. Maybe he does suck and I didn't realize it at the time. *shrug*

I think the rationale was that kind of “offsite drama” was bad for the forums, therefore banning everyone involved was the best way to go. There’s no defense for what he wrote in the leper’s colony though, other than the fact that every admin for this site eventually goes insane and in the heady days of the late aughts it tended to happen quickly.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Yeah but we're not compiling detailed offsite post histories and calling individuals out. Most of this poo poo is easily uncovered and the purpose of my asking this question was to give myself some interesting "SA History Homework" more than anything. Its just something done as a hobby and with no intention of doxxing.

If your idea of humor is finding some nobody's private photo, zooming in on one pixel of their teeth and then working out how close it's hex color code was to yellow then Helldump was the place to be.

It got steadily worse as well over the years. GBS became incredibly stale and boring because everyone seemed to be afraid to make a joke.

This is a cycle which tends to repeat itself. We're nearing the end of one now. Lots of hidden banned subjects and words that get you instantly zapped these days

I remember this, but it was two worlds, not some nobody, and it was a lot closer to green than yellow

in conclusion pick is a land of contrasts

nah puppy galaxy I think hit the nail on the head, it's an 'offsite drama thing' combined with how incredibly likely it was fake, and even if real it's like one of those 'this really isn't the place or way to deal with that trauma' the same way posting suicide threads in e/n used to get you probes or bans. But yeah it doesn't look good in a modern light.

A very good poster was banned in e/n like a month ago after they admitted to a suicide attempt, so

Was it one of those they posted a thread about an active attempt or suicidal ideation things that actually violates the spirit of the rule? Or some dumb 'ah ha they mentioned a past suicide attempt in their post so time to ban!'
I think nearly everyone who hasn't just lurked eventually eats a probe or ban from mod with an agenda convienently finding a way to read something as a violation.

Wth is this poo poo. You openly state you know nothing about the ban, then just use it to poo poo on the collective mods. I’d step back from this type of posting.
