Peanut Gallery Commentary on the Staff Log of Bannings and such like.

[Jackalope]

You got an actual suggestion, John?

 
I have two. Take your pick:

1. Enforce the rules on Minimalist.

2. Quit claiming that you've removed as much bias as possible from the system. Admit you're biased. It's your forum (as agents of the owner), you can do what you want. I'm just calling bullshit on the obvious favoritism. If you admit favoritism, there's no bullshit to call.

You should know how the system works.

Not really. Some of your brethren are in fact complaining that people make assumptions about what's going on when they don't really know.

If the votes aren't there, the votes aren't there.

If the votes are based on bias, then I'll call bias.

Would it surprise you to learn that I actually agree that he gets out of line?

No. It's blatantly obvious. All you have to do is search under his name and "drippy" and you'll get plenty of posts in which he just insults drich and adds nothing to the conversation at hand. You all know it happens, you just don't enforce it due to bias.

John, are you privy to the warnings that have been issued?  Is it that we haven't banned him what's sticking in your craw?

You do also understand, don't you, that we act based on what's reported, not every fucking post that someone makes?   Haven you reported any of the issues in question recently?  (I happen to know that the answer is no.)  If you haven't reported it, how the fuck can you reasonably complain that we haven't done anything about it?  How would you even know?

We don't make public the results of reports, but I can tell you that he's been warned recently for that *exact behavior* and if it continues in the future, then it will be escalated.

Frankly, John, you've got little room to complain about posts we don't act on if you don't report them.
