He posted on an alt before while banned. IIRC, he had an existential crisis because one of his previously trusted brands in gaming celebrated International Women's Day, and he just had to share it with us.
Do you understand the concept of “escalation”? Imp has been banned 5+ times and it’s been consistently explained to him how his crusade against wymen is near identical to the “stormfags” approach, yet he thinks he’s justified because “he’s right and they aren’t”.

I don't see why either has to be banned. It's just ridiculous and creates a chilling effect of sterile exchanges devoid of true intent.
What's the point of promoting "free speech" as an alternative to platforms with limited speech when you still have to engage in limited speech by walking on eggshells lest some named group take offence?
ConPro has been reduced to a wasteland due to two factors:
Rampant astroturfing campaigns
Practically zero moderation
Luckily this community hasn’t been hit by anywhere near the same level of astroturfing. How much of that is due to Dom’s efforts is up for debate but I think it does work better than not. It kind of acts like a floor for discussion.
90+ day bans for "I don't like what this guy says" in this community of all places is absolutely ridiculous.
He does violate Rule 16, which exists for a very good reason - to protect the existence of the community. That said, I also think that the ban lengths are disproportionate. They are like that because DoM wants to treat everyone the same. If I were in his position, I'd go more easy on him because while his comments on women may be in technical violation of Rule 16, they are highly unlikely to cause the negative consequences Rule 16 attempts to prevent, while racial nonsense isn't, and he does do his best to not violate the rules (though he often fails).
But I'm not, so that's moot.
Just yesterday a Rule 2 violation got banned for only 2 days.
Any extra ban within 3 months leads to a doubling of the previous ban length. That was the policy on the subreddit. Almost no one got banned for long periods of time (the ultra-retards were just permabanned on sight), but the Imp is a special case.
No one accused you of anything, retard. Your sole invocation was “is Imp permabanned?”
It’s funny you mention “projection” whilst confirming your use of alts. Have you ever voted on content here with that account? That would be vote manipulation wouldn’t it? That thing you always accuse people-who-aren’t-you of doing?
To be honest I missed that, but it really didn’t strike me as a specific “accusation” against you (despite the wording) but more an attempt to understand what is behind the manipulation of the report function (bad actors on alt accounts trying to “get back” at people they’ve lost arguments to - which does ring somewhat true but I don’t think it’s the whole story nor motivation).
Oh. Well, it was so over the top that I thought it was one of those impersonating you (those TRAITORS), of which we've had many.
That said, while I do sympathize with you, you can't know how DoM will view it. So I do suggest that you keep plausible deniability, lest your insanely long ban get even longer.
It was a little tongue in cheek. But I truly was vindicated by the Sweet Baby Inc story, and then the Blade story and just recently HBO forcing employees to argue in defense of their shows.
Women DO control the gaming industry.
Women DO control film/TV.
Those who refuse to acknowledge the first two are likely paid to do so.
Whatever happens, so be it. I had an audience of 30-40 here, I already overtook that count in X followers.
Imp doesn't ban evade...

It was that gosh darned Forkknife.
Actually, the last one was because someone accused me of trying to start a civil war here so I could be a mod.
You ban-evaded at least three times now, good to know.
I'm sure the mods know, given they banned those accounts.

Somehow, imp is more annoying.
Because you can make a topic called “Why goku is way cooler than vegeta” and imp will somehow turn it into a antiwoman rant
>Somehow, Imp Returned
Or you can learn to enjoy him.

¯_(ツ)_/¯
Have you considered just not being an autistic sperg when it comes to women?
it's fucking gay and none of us asked for it, want it, or support it.

Imagine my shock.
What consequences?
Why? Because I also defended him on the merits?
Hosting, domain registrars, attention from the feds. Becoming Stormfront 2 is not a free lunch.
It's not ban evasion to respond to accusations of manipulating the platform. This isn't the first time they've accused me either.
They have nothing else.
I've made this account a moderator on my community just to confirm it is authentic.
I don't believe it to be ban evasion to respond to ridiculous accusations of spamming false reports, which are pure projection.

Right, nobody accused me of anything.
I have not voted on anything with any other account, unless I misclicked. They all get banned after a day and never used again.

It's striking how similar you are to the Stormfags. It's just the object of your obsession that differs. "But I'm right!" Yeah, yeah.
Can you at least show up occasionally and entertain us a bit? It's so boring without you.
