Are you going to ignore the actual fact? Because making up your own doesn't actually make it true.

But it seems like maaaaaybe you could get some kind of "mod consensus" (6 out of 8 mods agree?) in extreme circumstances to just ban obvious shitposters from threads - like KCTotallyCoincidentially88 from this one and say pete's endless manic phase spew from the covid thread.

Like obviously qanon stuff isn't tolerated in the lounge. Should coronahoax be?

On one hand, I'd like to say... well, it's the offseason and people need breaks from here every once in a while.

OTOH, Daface is the most zen person here and you've all managed to break him. :shake:

We have already started banning him from threads for the constant spamming.

Look, this forum has lasted 20 years where the shelf life of many forums seems to be 7-10 years. This place is doing something right no matter how bizarre and fked up some you are. I wouldnt do anything drastic

Whatever. It's cost us a great mod. One that seemed to take on the lions share of modding. Hell, he was 9nly trying to enforce a long standing rule in The Lounge and was right to do so.

Doesn't change the fact that Deface has deprived us of a long standing cp tradition of stand-alone leaving forever thread.

The tradition I've experienced is mockery of those threads because they are lame and attention seeking. Deface neither of those. Covid is not the reason we lost him.

Oh lighten up Dave he will be back. You of all people have had fun with those threads too.

If nothing else it opens a slot up for you. You have made it clear your goal is to be a mod its pretty clear.
