Bannings
-
All I could do was laugh at seeing that my ban was permenant. I’ve never been banned anywhere in 20 years of MUing. I never even had a “serious” conversation about my behavior. No warnings. I’m as interesting or scandalous as toasted white bread with nothing on it.
But I’m banned for asking why Gany didn’t just lock some threads or step away. Makes sense.

I have no intention of retracing my steps.

@helvetica I might be joining the ban crew. Posted oh havens me a slow clap. How rude.
This whole thing is beyond dumb.
-
It’s completely arbitrary.
-
At least still being banned prevents me from going back there for the sole purpose of pointing out that Ganymede is a coward who lacks the courage to stand by her own convictions.
Also that Derp is a misogynist prick who lacks the self-awareness to realize he’s the problem, not all of us.
(hi derp & gany & whoever else is lurking. when you get bored of echo-chambering with the four people that agree with you, you know where to find us.)

The haphazard and bizzare approach kind of confirms everything I’ve been thinking about Gany and Derp. I look forward to them repeating their new official truths and whatever nonsense they claim is ethics into their echo chamber. And well, echoes always work better in empty spaces I guess.

@BloodAngel I want to post the RIGHT TO JAIL gif but I also don’t want to take the enjoyment of doing that away from @tsar .
-
But, well, I told them I would wait for them to finish reviewing before I made any decisions, since that was their request. What they’ve demonstrated is that their review was conducted according to some bizarre internal metrics that banned @Narson for saying basically the same thing as @Meg who they rescinded the ban on, while simultaneously deciding that Ghost is a part of the community they want to keep but not @Roz or @tsar –
In short, a part of the community I will be putting behind me and not returning to.
But the attorney in me is super annoyed about the total absence of transparency and failure of standards or logic.
I am glad that the original wildly unjust ban was reversed, though.

Don’t worry, we’ll always know the truth and have your sig to remind us.

Oh, that’s not fucking going away any time soon, lol.

I had higher hopes.
Bleh.
eta: this hurts my heart guys. Bleh bleh bleh. I really will miss what used to be there. Another something I love is no more, and that sucks. A lot.
-
Don’t mind me, just compiling a list for @Tez when we feel the need to fly off the handle and conduct a bizarre purge.

The cynic in me suggests it is all a shitty attempt at Crisis Management PR. Unban Meg because she set up the discord where people discussed. Look how kind and magnanimous they are. Ghost because, look, they even forgave one of M**ing’s most persistent haemorrhoids.
Meg and Farfalla shouldn’t have been banned in the first place, I’m not even sure Ghost should have been - it all stems from those initial bad decisions. But I’m fairly sure I was less of a dick than Ghost. I just asked why Arkandel wasn’t in trouble for posting after the ‘Don’t post’ second warning when others were. I’d guess they still don’t have an answer beyond ‘We are inconsistent and unethical, and were embarrassed at how inconsistent and unethical we were being’. Oh well, nothing of value was lost. I wasn’t a huge contributor to MSB. And we have a place where admins haven’t had to warn other admins not to blame the victims of sexual assault. Which is nice.

@Snackness Yeah, you absolutely did nothing banworthy either and you aren’t alone. Sorry I didn’t include you in my examples of wtaf. Clearly I think you and @tsar come as a set.
-
@sao Fair!
eta: also I didn’t mean to come off as ‘BUT WHAT ABOUT MEEEEE’ though I see how I did and maybe I did mean to a little because I’m still wtf-ing.
