It brings me no pleasure to have to make yet another thread on this well known issue of Dom being a massive faggot, but it's worth drawing attention to that the "bad takes machine" thread was deleted for "bullying."
Reminder: Mods logs are public. Warning: Also extremely gay, due to high concentration of mod activity.
Reminder #2: Unscored is a thing. Here's an archive of the thread in question.
There was some mockery but A) He's not a user, B) I'm not sure I'd say it was bullying and, most importantly, C) There is no rule against "making posts about other users," which is what that thread was banned for. Retarded faggotry. Low level, by Dom's standards, but retarded faggotry nonetheless.
THREE: Do not threaten, harass, or bully users; and do not encourage others to do so on or off-line; nor make per se defamatory states at users.
NOT A USER, HE NOPED OUT. NOT BULLYING. AND NO RULE AGAINST MAKING POSTS ANYWAY.
Super gay.
100% of these 'bitching about users' posts that aren't directed towards me specifically are always stupid, and always promote flamewars. I have always removed them.
All it does is promote inter-personal drama between users unnecessarily. Most of the time, it's about shitting on someone so that the OP of the thread can incite said flame war and sperg-fest for no damn reason.
That wasn't a 'bitching about user' post, dude. It was talking about that a well-known poster had deleted their account.
Also, where were the flamewars. Everyone was just talking about who he was, what he was famous for, stuff like that. There was only one real argument, and that happens in many threads.
So, yeah, it wasn't a bitching thread, and it wasn't promoting flamewars. If you worry is 'civility,' it was civil.
Actually, almost all of it was bitching about him. Just because one account is deleted doesn't mean he isn't actually just taking a hiatus or lurking somewhere, and a full thread was created about how everyone should hate him. That's absolutely awful behavior, even if you do hate him. If that's how it is, just be glad he's gone and leave it at that. I'm not trying to promote personal drama.
