Anyone else get survivor's guilt when you think about all the users and posts that have been banned and removed? (hexbear.net)

It should have been me, not them. If I just owned the mods hard enough in debate, maybe they could have been saved.

Lol no. The only questionable decision I have really seen was when there was that brief stint where TC69 was brought back as a moderator.

Otherwise, respect the mods, they literally don't get paid enough for this.

mods literally just drove like 10 arab users off this site like two months ago. I guess that's "not a problem" though

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Idk anything about that. Sorry idk every little thing that happens on here.

don't bandy about your ignorance

it wasn't a "little thing" it was an ongoing cold war between the user base and mods for months. If you were on at all you couldn't have missed it, it was like 60% of the comments for a good few weeks. It involved multiple stickied threads, death threats (made by the mods), mods and admins being removed, multiple arab and muslim users leaving the site or being banned for "anti-semitism". Surely you remember this, it wasn't that long ago at all

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

Nah I missed all of that too.

If it was mostly in sticky threads there's like a 99% chance I'd miss it.

Literally I have no idea wtf fuck you are talking about. Love having one month accounts accusing me of shit though, real classy stuff, definitely won't get you banned.

Edit: unless this hits news, slop, marxism or philosophy don't really see it.

[–] InexplicableLunchFiend@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

what did i accuse you of? You yourself admitted you didn't know what you are talking about and were ignorant on the subject

[–] 30_to_50_Feral_PAWGs@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That was a top-tier bit, and anyone who disagrees doesn't know the turning number of a circle or how to embrace TC69 thought.

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Funny? Yes. Good? Lol no.

I embrace TC69 thought, doesn't mean I want the forum moderated by them.

To be fair, TC69 didn't want to be moderating our drama-addict asses either

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

TC69 was the most drama addicted of all of us, what are you talking about?
