That's the thing, I don't have access to that email anymore since I stopped working at the corresponding institution. Every combination of usernames I tried came up blank. Is there a way for the member list to show based on the alphabet?

I have access to the full user list. If you let me know what you have to go on I'll take a look.

Let's welcome back @pathf1nder / ivan.k ivan.k , unjustly permed by one of our abusive ex-mods who specialized in weaseling through deceptive bans to further his ideological agenda. Ban message says this:

But that's clearly not the real reason, after taking a closer look and knowing his motives. The real reason would be this post:




Apologies.


I'm honestly surprised I survived that era of gaf.

I can't believe someone got banned for saying Andromeda sucked. They would probably need to ban half the forum if that was the legit reason. Like you said that's not the real reason, he was probably guilty of WrongThink.

Anyway welcome back pathf1nder. On the new and improved GAF you are free to say Andromeda is garbage.

The listed reason was for low content posts, but that post criticizing Andromeda is likely the actual reason. Charlequin was covertly banning anyone who criticized Anita Sarkeesian, intersectional feminism, or projects that Anita worked on, and she consulted on Andromeda. All of his listed ban reasons are bullshit.

Mods with personal agendas = not good.

We all need to be thankful for the GAF and Mods we have today. I do believe not only can we say Andromeda is garbage without fear of getting banned, I also believe we can say Anita is garbage.

It's petty and stupid to harp on 9TF. Petty for bringing it up and stupid for repeating it after other bans.

Keep 'em coming.


9 tf is an issue I will probably never understand.

You are already winning "10 vs 12".

What exactly will you get by kicking it down to 8 or 9.

If some one can prove its 4 tf or something it will be a big catch. Getting banned for mere 0.012 tf is unreasonably desperate.

It is kind of amusing though that poster with nickname "pathf1nder" got banned for criticizing Andromeda, of all things

Hello everybody!
Today is a magnificent day. A new week (at least here in Norway we start our weeks on monday, but I've heard that this might differ based on your location) with new possibilities.
Just went through the last ten pages of this thread. What a rollercoaster.
But back to the point. It's such a lovely day that I am sure that the mod squad will lift my ban from the speculation thread.
I have been a good boy and should be let in these last few days before the launch of the fab four later this month on grounds of good behavior.
With fab four I'm naturally talking about these magnificent beasts:
- PS5 (John)
- PS5DE (Paul)
- XSX (George)
- XSS (Ringo)

I know Ringo wasn't the most popular one, but neither is the XSS. banter

I'm still a freshman around this forum and I don't post as much as a lot of the other guys/girls in here. And I guess the other threaders wont even know I'm back but I would really appreciate if I could join for the last few days.
I promise I will mark all my joke posts with "THIS IS A JOKE" if I feel anyone could mistake it for anything else.

So to end this long parole application I would like to quote what a fellow inmate once said:
There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit.

I am rehabiblitated!

Even marking "THIS IS A JOKE" next to something doesn't mean it's being posted responsibly. If it's a 9TF comment coming in and you just slap "THIS IS A JOKE" onto it; pretty sure the mods are transparent enough to tell if that's just being used a cover to continue trolling. Better to omit that whole part from your appeal.

a 2004 account got banned in politics, too. i have a feeling there's going to be a lot of bans one way or another in the coming days--people coming out of the woodwork to rub it in or insult other people. here's an energy drink, mods (i used to drink the crap out of these back in 2004ish)

I won’t celebrate anyone’s ban (unless dire enough), but it’s nice to see people that are here to troll, rather than productively discuss, being put out to pasture.

We all have our lines, and our strong opinions, but at the end of the day, I don’t feel like Gaf is anyone’s hot take blog, or astroturfing dumping ground. You should be ready to talk with your fellow posters on a discussion forum, to give ground and take it, rather than doing anything possible to avoid that, or drag it all down.

A few too many people recently think that Reset SOP is completely cool on Gaf.

Why are you so lazy son?

I think you guys are misinterpreting him. Pretty sure he's campaigning for Trump on the ban list, lol.

Which is really funny, and maybe an effective way to get your message to Gaf if you've been permed. You probably shouldn't do this, hahaha.

Miss you btw, Jtibh. I don't endorse how things ended, but you were one of my most liked posters on here.

No subtlety to their trolling. Long dormant accounts coming back on. Trolling prominent members immediately. Come on man. At least ingratiate yourself back in then try and cause disruption. These idiots can't even troll well.
 
So wtf is actually up with the moderation on this forum, as in what is and isn't allowed.
Could EL or a mod actually explain? My impression is along as you don't war, troll or post extremist, racist stuff, most things were ok.

I make a light-hearted joke thread about trump in off-topic of all places as it clearly didn't belong in politics and it gets instantly locked with some sarcastic comment and infraction bullshit.
It was hardly offensive, troll or even insulting towards trump or anyone who supports him, yet it gets called "shit posting" when it was far from it.
Biden routinely gets threads made about him for being senile etc (which he probably is) but they don't get locked.
Do mods put their personal political agender into their moderation - I find it bizarre that a mod would get easily triggered over this thread.


So what is actually allowed then?

It's just a dumb shitpost thread you should have put in politics, but probably shouldn't have made at all.
