Question on ban announcements

[Shady Slim]

What exactly is everyone arguing here? That goatse should be unbanned because... racism?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

I believe goatse is family friendly

He has a wedding ring.

 

[Spikey]

it's great to be having a discussion that could fit into a gamefaqs board from the mid 2000s. I think we should close down the Politics board like they did to LUE

I hadn't heard of goatse so I googled it.

I really wish I hadn't now.

i think from my original post:

feels a bit rough to cop a month on the sidelines for goatse given i could walk into any given politics thread and go on a big racist rant and get like a warning or whatever at most, probably not even that if i desisted after one post

it's clear to anyone with greater reading comprehension skills than a four year old that the point is "one month for this seems stiff in comparison to racism which in the past hasn't necessarily attracted sanctions", and you're the one going out of your way to be deliberately obtuse in your interpretation lmao

complex things are harder to moderate than obvious things. more at 11

tellingly, this is the first post that addresses the substantive concern, and it does raise a good point

on the other hand, i'd argue that bigotry can be deceptively simple and often gets through the radar unless you go full Robbie with how you do it

He should have linked the Mario goatse to be on brand. Deserves to be banned for that alone.

Walk the talk if you truly believe this imo

maybe it’s in part a generational thing at play here in that growing up it was all the rage as a geeup to trick your mates into looking up meat spin or lemon part

Man, **** off. We walked so you could run, ****. We were tubgirling people when you were in pre-school.

He won't make the same mistake again but really the biggest shame is the timing of the ban because he thrived on the ashes.

The real cool kids made dating site accounts with Cribb and pretended to be libertarian girls.

The problem was that whenever someone actually knew anything about libertarianism you would get into an actual discussion with them rather than continuing to bait them.

Yeah genuinely a great guy to talk cricket with. Can’t we pretend that @TheJediBrah posted it instead

This is a splendid idea but I can think of even better fall guy candidates.

We have a member who has recently taken to spamming match threads every Test with repetitive and partisan takes, and he doesn't take hints when people suggest he stop the fact-free assertions.

So what I'm saying is, Spark should be banned.

 

[ashley bach]

Was it not Halba who posted that goatse?
