Bannings
-
You’re probably right; I guess I just don’t understand why you’re still banned if that’s not it. I’m still struggling to understand how any of this is conscionable.

I mostly just find it frustrating that they continue to insult us.
The accusations are false. The idea that Solstice and Selira and Meg are mean awful bullies conspiring to destroy their fun is ludicrous.
And it’s exhausting that they do this while framing themselves as being kinder and gentler.
-
yeah, it’s kind of bullshit that an admin went out of their way to post a DM insulting me after I had said I was leaving.
like, ok??? i wasn’t there to bully and troll. i brought up what i thought was a valid point, that others agree with.
you are not the kinder and gentler msb. fuck off. fuck you, runescryer.
-
the energy of the MSB admin team seems pretty uniformly “desperate denial bottom”
-
To me it’s coming off that they are the ones trying to keep the drama going. Except, perhaps, in DMs or something no one here was even talking about MSB anymore until they started getting all fussed and such.
-
we honestly should stop talking about it again. there’s nothing good to be said.
let’s end it on this note. all of you left banned:
derp just admitted you just weren’t popular enough with the admin to get unbanned.
scar and i were.

What amuses me is I consider my ban, and the other ‘fuck you’ person ban, the only ones of the first batch that’re really defensible because, oh gosh, our intentions were clear. And OK! I’ve never been banned from anything in my life and this is weirdly giving me very deferred pre-teen rebellion vibes without having to shoplift a tube of lipgloss. Maybe other people have way more awful DMs but mostly this latest thing feels like ‘raise a specter without actually owning what you are accusing anyone of’. So, OK, my ‘this is bad’ and ‘George Orwell quote’ DMs are public record now and I can be OK with things. -
It is what it is but it feels incredibly personal at this point that they are screenshotting my words. I didn’t DM anyone about this situation and have never bullied or harassed anyone thru DMs.
But if they are avoiding explaining bans based on the “privacy” of those involved, they have my permission to release their discussions about me. It doesn’t matter tho cuz I stand by what I said anyway.
-
@Third-Eye ok but in a forum where there are no rules against cussing, how is ‘fuck you’ that much more over the line than ‘you’re unhinged’? they are both really clear in their intentions.
-
@bear_necessities hey, i’m sorry. that’s my bad. i used him accidentally @'ing you to kick off a discussion about why i think the bans were arbitrary and why i thought they should, once again, please reconsider their arbitrary af bans.
sorry
-
@Meg I don’t think they would have cared who it was. Or if anyone was mentioned. They seem like they would just bring up how X person that is banned did this ‘horrible’ thing in the heat of the moment.
-
@Meg Nah you don’t owe me an apology and I don’t consider this to be your fault or anything, so don’t feel bad please.

@Meg
IDK, I am amused swearing in the Hogpit is shocking, but the one reprimand I ever got in a workplace was because, back in my newspaper days, the life-style columnist who I sat across from and I apparently got a lot more blue than we realized and offended the nice letters to the editor lady, so this is a criticism of me I will own. -
Just for the record I think I had two DM conversations on MSB, none recently. I didn’t DM Gany or anyone. I remain banned for asking why Arkandel wasn’t banned for posting after the stop while Snackness and others were. Others who directly attacked Gany got unbanned, and I think Derp confirmed by stating process when asked for reason.
It was pure popularity. So they banned those who those with power did not like. That was the ultimate criteria for the ban becoming permanent from what I can tell. And yet they keep insinuating I’m the bully? How quirky they are.
Oh wait sorry, also terrorists. Terror bullies.
-
I admire those of you that are trying to make them understand how they look like fools, but I am afraid that you are probably wasting your time. They like the way things are. They have no one there to really hold them accountable because those that do are just big old bullies that dogpile them. Because it’s not like they aren’t engaging in that themselves at this point.
-
Let them have it. Seriously, just let them have what they want.
The best thing that can be done at this point is to let them ultimately deal with the consequences of their own actions.
-
@IoleRae dw i keysmashed my password; i am seriously not going back. i hope you are proud of me.
the bully that i am, excusing myself politely before being insulted by multiple of their posters.
eta: (no personal attacks, guys! unless it’s about those people. you know the ones.)
-
@Meg Okay, but you are OUR bully.
