RPGnet's decay (TBP madness)

[Battlemaster]

Guy got a 3 day ban from someone who looks like the guy i usually get when. I call tech support for telling the truth but not qualifying it.

Yeah, I wish it still surprised me.

Fuck Jeffy, he can't get the difference between not being an asshole like him and being woke. I can get tired of calling tech support or customer service and getting hold of someone who barely speaks English and has an accent so thick I can't understand him. That's really more of a slap at corporations who don't mind selling products to Americans but hate to pay them a decent wage.

A funny (ha ha) one.
Alex Green has been posting two WIR threads.  One he planned to finish later in the week, and the other he did finish.  He announced that he was becoming a contributing member of society (got a job) and would be spending less time on the 'net after finishing the WIR threads.

He drew a three day ban in the thread that was finished, for triggering somebody somehow.  (I didn't bother to look to see how legit the infraction would be to me).  Then the moderator closed the finished thread.

Let me state it again.  The guy announces he wasn't going to be online much, and the thread was finished, then the moderator gives him a three day ban and closes the thread!

Well, I think it's funny.

Greene was reading a Mexico setting book for the Hunter game and didn't think some of the villainous NPCs outlined in the book constituted the hostile, problematic representation for Mexico and Mexicans that some other posters did; his argument was that they were self-evidently the bad guys and couldn't possibly be taken as any kind of libellous description of reality. His ban was for downplaying and minimizing racism in a game product.

To which I can only growl in disbelief, "It's the World of fucking Darkness, dude. No group's fictional counterpart makes them look particularly good in the World of fucking Darkness, that's the fucking point!"

At least one stereotypically religious Hunters' organization is depicted in the same book as being a "Stepford Wives"-like group dedicated primarily to profit and control rather than its mission, and I doubt anyone would have caught a ban for ignoring complaints that this is an example of anti-religious bigotry.

At this point, I assume any ban on TBP is suspect until further review.

Of course the TBP Admins can decide to sit on a review for months/forever it seems.

I meant 'until someone unconnected to TBP's junta looks at it'. Though you're not wrong. They'll slow-walk appeals like they're being paid for it.

Gee, just like Facebook...

Honestly, I suspect JonB was on the edge ever since he ate a couple thirty day bans for the high crime of noting that some of the First Nations protests in Canada weren't exactly constructive (or for that matter, legal). After the second one I'd have walked, but he'd been there for fifteen years. Breaking up is hard to do.

Hey GM, I'm ok with somenprotesrs not being fully legal as some protests are basically against the people making writing and enforcing the laws, but the thing is that  tpb is all for unlawful leftists orotesrs but condemns right wing protests.

Hypocrite much?

If you read JonB's comments, the problem was a lot more messy and nuanced than 'government bad, First Nations good'. Two different governing tribal councils, a very stupid action that effectively kidnapped five hundred people, and the RCMP got sent in to sort everything out.

Of course, TBP is run by people who are dumber than shit, so it's automatically 'brutal goverment apologist! BANNED!'.

Your two geniuses should take your super-important god-tier feud elsewhere because this thread is simply not big enough for the absolutely astonishing and massive level of truth and cold hard facts that you're both laying down (not to mention your giant swinging virtual god-cocks), and I for one will certainly subscribe to the "Jeff and Battlemaster Smack-Down Thread, Retard Edition" and so will 80% of Internet users everywhere and everyone will clap with a standing ovation when they read what's written on page 285 of your thread because holy shit it will be epic and people will post about it for the ages and you will both become immortal beings of pure light and consciousness and rule the fucking galaxy for ever-loving eternity!
