Idk what kind of BBQ y'all normally have but all I saw was a shitshow after looking at comment histories and such

Some people got really angry at some people and that caused the slinging of a banhammer.

Rip mkbruin 2018.... I just read back on comment histories

Undeserved death in my honest opinion.

Judging from years past, he'll be back. Long time hate of his political preferences builds up, he explodes, gets banned, then in a month or two reappears. Such is the life of the Atlas VP.

I think JKM was struck by the Hammer too.

Oh shit really? That seems a bit unfair, as he wasn't slinging shit as much as others have.

He got a week, yes. Even more undeserved.

Yeah. These are users I have
sharp
disagreements
with, but even through the political storms I’ve seen here, there was little bannable shit.

Meh. Idk about JKM, but MkBruin posting a gif of multiple middle fingers with no context simply calling out a set of users is pretty banhammer worthy. Especially when the mods tell you to chill and you go and do basically the same thing again.

I don’t know. I don’t envy Mods; they have a hard job we all love criticizing
. I personally think that all we needed was mediation and sleeping on it, or stopping the problem on the Trump post rather than growing it to a fucking shitstorm.

we need a “go sit in the corner with a beer ” chill off period or something....

I definitely felt like people in there needed to cool down a bit. A permaban is probably overkill, but if you are breaking the rules, and a mod is warning you to back off and you keep going , getting a ban for some length of time seems appropriate.

were MK and JKM the only victims?
![]() 07/13/2018 at 01:19 |

Don’t know. I don’t think they were the only ones in need of moderation.

And Ben?

Unscathed...I guess because he has the “correct” politics...

When one person brews the shit storm, the mods have a pretty easy job. This stuff has generally stayed contained in the threads, until last night when MkB lost his damn mind.

Found the thread in question - There were violations of Rule #1 in there that were not addressed.

Perhaps. I ain’t a mod. I’m just saying, do the crime do the time: you make a call out post, especially calling out people not involved in the thread sparking the call out, you deserve time out.

I’m not arguing the banhammer being used where it was deserved. However, i
t was deserved in other places and not used.

Maybe?
I f the banhammer standard was “callout post”, only one person did a callout post.
![]() 07/13/2018 at 12:16 |
|
I can’t speak for the mods, but several years there were a few serial folks that would do call out posts. So the non excellent discussion was strike one, calling out posts maybe were strike 2and 3.
![]() 07/13/2018 at 12:28 |

MK got triggered, and those two callout posts (plus the share) were a bit uncalled for. What about JKM? did any other user get banned?

I think he dismissed a mod’s post telling him to calm down.
![]() 07/13/2018 at 12:39 |
|
So it was only those two?
![]() 07/13/2018 at 12:40 |

I don’t know
![]() 07/13/2018 at 19:04 |

From what I was able to gather the straw was him dismissing mod posts telling him to calm down, and then argueing with them.
![]() 07/13/2018 at 19:14 |

I didn’t see the part where he argued with them. But he might have already been suspended by then.

G oing back 4-5 years, before there was a quick way to report posts to mods, people would share to the front page. although this practice became a shitshow as people would sometimes do call out posts. they were much more common with a few individuals the worst offenders. If I’m not mistaken MK was one of those. Then the mods added the rule to stop that behavior. As Hondayota mentioned, this isn’t MKs first time with call out posts and the subsequent banning . So there is a bit of history of him pulling this and henc e the short fuse on the part of the mods.
