      @Roz Even better, we can link to that and go ‘hey look, you were already told and chose to ignore it then. GO READ IT AGAIN’

      Not really for their sake, but more for the sake of any third parties who come through and are like ‘why the hell are they dogpiling this guy?’ and then they can see the link and go ‘oh, this is not some guy, this is a sea lion’.

      I don’t really think any of that is necessary at this point.

        Probably not. But just linking to the receipts with ‘argued and answered’ as your whole response is always fun. But that’s a different discussion.

          It is my preference that you don’t, if you please.

            Isn’t hobos the guy who admitted like two days ago he didn’t bother reading six screenshots of the farfalla DMs because that’s too much for him?

              Strictly speaking, this thread is more for commenting on the actions taken by admin/mods, not to continue discussions about the person outside of the admin actions taken.

              Not to stifle discussion, just want to keep things organised.

                He could be? It’s not about convincing the person you are arguing against (you almost never will), it’s about convincing newcomers who may not be privy to all the details.

                @Pyrephox said in Bannings:

                Hey all,

                Putting my mod hat on for a moment. After talking with the rest of the mod team, we’d like to ask that you not include screenshots or links from MSB in this thread, or use this thread as a method to encourage, cheer, or organize action towards the other board. We know that people are sore about what happened, and this remains a place to vent about those events, but not to create or continue an atmosphere of cross-board drama. Thank you all!

                As always, please feel free to discuss this decision in the discussion thread.

                Said to discuss this here, so adding this on (but it can be it’s own thread if we prefer) - I upvoted because I understand the sentiment, but I feel like this also defeats the whole purpose of them opening up the hog-pit so people who were banned can access it. So we can look (not search), but then cannot actually show people what is there.

                  To me, it’s more like a break-up. When you break up with someone, you don’t keep their pics in your phone, you don’t keep their texts, you don’t keep going back to your favorite dating spots; because if you do that, you never move on.

                  If we’re broken up with MSB, then let’s be broken up, you know? Take some time to work on ourselves and learn to be alone again, then start looking for a new girlfriend–okay, maybe the simile is getting away from me, but I think the first paragraph is still solid.

                    There may be times in the future where bad actors return and inspire new threads in the Rowdy section, or where old behavior patterns resurface and someone wants to reference a history of old behavior documented on MSB. That feels different to me from circling the issue of the wave of bans and organizing actions across the boards on this subject.

                      @Jennkryst We have no desire to stop you from reaching out to people by different means if you feel it’s necessary. We’re just not really interested in having screenshots and links to the other forum here, and definitely not interested in providing a staging ground for actions over there. Just about anyone who is here knows where the other forum is, and knows how to access information from it (or has a friend who can if they were banned), so it’s not really necessary to have those things on public display here.

                      You can even continue to talk about it! We just aren’t interested in hosting a thread full of MSB screenshots or links to MSB.

                        To acknowledge your point, MSB is a rich resource for the history of some reasons behind dislike and distaste of certain persons and places - I absolutely agree.

                        However, and to continue on from @GF’s point, it’s a sore spot right now. For many of us. Repeatedly screenshotting or linking things from there to here, and encouraging people to go there (to either prove the screenshot’s true, or find their own receipts, or whatever else) is like going through your ex’s Facebook and getting sad about their new partner.

                        ETA: This isn’t an admin dogpile, we were all literally typing at the same time.

                              I’m starting to think one admin account is a good idea, now that we’ve done that kind of clusterduck posting…

                                @Pavel Then we’d probably be bumping each other off as we all tried to use it at the same time. Keystone Cops style.

                                            That issue is probably easily avoidable. I assume that issues and any potential actions, announcements, or reprimands that are to be posted would be discussed by the admins behind closed doors first. The only added step would be to draft the post of said action, announcement, or reprimand in that admin level discussion thread, then one staff is assigned to publish the official post that staff wanted the community or individual to see on the staff bit.
