also I tried to get the GBS mod that was in goonfleet at the time of the bfm thing to perma bfm here but he ignored it and I didn't bring it up on the forums directly b/c importing drama was still crazy bannable

Later when I saw he was playing archeage I tried to get people who could literally see the goonfleet threads and were playing archeage to get rid of him and they didn't.
So the only reason he got banned from SA at all is because I was bitching about him in the dota IRC channel and zoolooman saw and immediately hit me up asking if I was being serious and for any proof, bfm was permaed like an hour later

What's the "bfm thing"? Sorry I probably missed a few pages.

Former goon "Bob From Marketing". He was one of the goons that would go to iceland for the annual EVE thing, where he was grooming a 15 or 16 year old kid. Got her to send him nude photos. Posted the nude photos on a goonfleet.com sub-forum. While his relationship with the girl may or may not have been illegal in Iceland, posting CSAM to an american message board was super illegal and the webmaster went spare when he found out about it. Which got BFM kicked from goonfleet, and I think got porn (or maybe just home grown?) banned from the forum as well. It was a pretty big deal.

So when a "Bob From Marketing" showed up in another MMO goon guild years later some people thought it was just edgy goon humour to use the name of a known pedo, some people had never heard of the incident, and at least a few people in the guild were old friends from his EVE days who knew it was him but didn't think it was a problem that's he'd posted private photos of a teenager at some point in the past. When people who knew the whole story brought it up it took the new guild leadership a few days to respond (because, again, most non-EVE goons didn't know) and everything blew up.

Turned out no one from EVE had ever bothered to report him here, or possibly it was ignored as "importing off-site drama", so his SA account was in good standing. A mature SA account in good standing was the minimum requirement to get into most goon guilds. When it blew up in the second MMO the story did make it back here and his SA account was permabanned.

Well I wasn't expecting that.
