tbh I can't remotely fathom why he has continued to post here
― rob, Monday, 9 October 2023 16:41 (eight months ago) link
Is that permanently for a week or permanently permanently?

yeah that's the question!
― Daniel_Rf, Monday, 9 October 2023 16:45 (eight months ago) link
For a month.

It's his latest permanent ban.
― The First Time Ever I Saw Gervais (Tom D.), Monday, 9 October 2023 16:54 (eight months ago) link
All bans come up in the log as permanent bans. It's an ilx thing.

I've never seen a more terminal case of "stop posting, dickhead" on here, since the last time VHS was permanently banned

Terminal is wishful thinking

Really needs to be said. Just don't get it. Over the last year he has every now and then reappeared to mostly snipe at posters he dislikes. No other contribution of any sort, that I could see. He was only banned because he just couldn't step away from the events currently unfolding.

he got taped over

Why hasn't he been permanently permanently banned yet?
― Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Monday, 9 October 2023 21:26 (eight months ago) link
The short answer is "we don't spend much time thinking about it." By week 3 of a one month ban, I've almost completely forgotten that the recipient even exists. It's usually week 5 or 6 before I remember to lift the ban unless someone reminds me. The ban-ee tends to lay low for a while until they lose control of themselves and get back on their bullshit, followed by another ban. Enough tempbans turn into a perma perma. I can't remember if VHS has had more than one ban before this one.

Can never stop the controversy and hateful dialogue on that thread
― H.P, Tuesday, 10 October 2023 00:59 (eight months ago) link
That was removed at my request. I made an innocuous joke in connection to something Thermo posted--not even thinking about world events--and asked WmC to remove it. I wasn't clear, and he removed Thermo's post too--my fault.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 10 October 2023 01:36 (eight months ago) link
Sorry, I thought someone just posted a spoiler by accident! To clarify, immaculate grid is not filled with controversy or hateful dialogue

My joke involved Rusty Staub...really, it was pretty mild.

anything specific or just a buildup?

I was personally sick of him dumping tweet after tweet in serious threads and just stirring constantly. Told him he was being annoying last week as well!

xpost wager it was the way he approached discussion in the antisemitism and Israel threads (not that what he was saying was wrong, per se, but....dude was racking up complaints in both threads)
― real warm grandpa (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 25 October 2023 18:42 (seven months ago) link
Oh damn, I just wrote a huge post that was primarily for his benefit. I sure as shit hope he reads it when he comes back!
― peace, man, Wednesday, 25 October 2023 18:44 (seven months ago) link
I read it peace, man - thanks! I had absolutely no idea that it came across like that. I will do some c+p of the actual tweet as necessary and see how we go

As for this. I would appreciate if you kept this stuff to yourself instead of personally telling. You are a smart person, and from my reactions I'm sure you can tell what I think of it.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 1 November 2023 17:46 (seven months ago) link
would you not rather know when you're being annoying
