The banned comment:
https://unscored.arete.network/c/KotakuInAction2/p/19Bst7NHP9/x/c/4eVJrb6uzIf/
I'm mostly just here to laugh at the drama, but for the record I think this was probably undeserved, and I was hoping for at least a couple more days of Imp shitting up the board with his nonsense, before the inevitable ban.
It's odd that "Blame women or shut up" is the part Dom objected to. Due to the phrasing, that doesn't seem to meet the usual (and retarded) R16 criteria. It seems like you can demand other people believe your theories about who is to blame for every ill in the world, the main focus is on actual personal opinions on those people.
Interestingly, the rest of Imp's comment is closer to a R16 violation:
A class with scientifically proven strong in-group biases will always end up doing the same thing. Women are the worst of these, with the strongest biases.
Anyway, as disappointing as this may be to some (and relieving to others), it really is ultimately Imp's fault. Imp will never be able to get out of his own way, and always makes these big sweeping generalizations that, no matter how we all feel about R16, are clear R16 violations. He would have been banned soon anyway, because he can't fucking help himself.
He could say practically the exact same things, with slightly different phrasing, and it would be fine, but he's so wrapped up in his over the top global female conspiracy that he just has to smash people in the face with his retarded and universal phrasing on the issue.
Anyway, I thought people would be interested to hear Imp got the boot again. 400 days, according to the mod logs. Not sure if that's a permaban or not, as I thought 365 was the max and next one was a perma. So we'll have to wait another year+ to see if Imp comes back to get banned again.
This has been your yearly Imp Update.
Again, sidestepping the greater question why Rule 16 even exists all these years since leaving KIA2 for the .win lifeboat.
Imp got a Reddit-tier ban this time.
I'm not sidestepping anything, this just wasn't my point on this particular topic.
I'm a strong opponent of R16, and think it's absolutely fucking retarded...along with most of the other rules. And, yes, it's Reddit-style nonsense. I've spoken out against the stupid rules many, many times.
I was being more rhetorical than accusatory. But I could see how it could read as such.
I don't support his ban. But he should be relegated to the bottom of each post and people should realize he doesn't argue or raise points in good faith.
That usually happens since the default layout for comments is "Top", so when he yet again goes completely off topic he gets downvoted hard. Doesn't work if people use a different setting like sorting by "New" so threads don't suffer too much from early-bird situations.
My default comment sorting is set to "old"
Almost no one here argues "in good faith".
A thief will always be convinced that someone else would steal.
Most people do. I'd say even gizortnik, I think he actually believes his crap.
Projection again.
What's projection about pointing out you can't answer the question that you asked me?
Man, you really are bad at everything, aren't you?
Would you say that there is a great dearth of people calling everyone kikes and niggers?
No.
But "laws" (in this case, rules) on the books that aren't intended to be strictly enforced simply leads to favoritism, bias, curation, limited hangouts.
Unequal application of rules is the basis of anarcho-tyranny.
What you say also has a dark side. Strict enforcement means that you can't distinguish between a valuable contributor and someone who is obviously trolling. I think people who are established users, or who have a long history, should be treated better than people who just showed up. You earn your place.
And if someone violates the rules, and didn't mean it, or regrets it? In my view, no harm, no foul. Why use more coercion than is stricly necessary just to show that everyone is treated equally?
I can understand your position as well. It's a hard question.
But you said there are no valuable contributors here?
The good thing is that Imp has at least two communities under his moderation. c/feminism and c/MGTOW. If you miss his discourse, you are free to join him there
Note that I explicitly included myself in that.
A crazy person isn't exactly fit to be a moderator.
He moderates a few communities. He user pinged me to one of them. No one else posted in that one.
Honestly the most surprising part was Dom turned up the same day, the average gap between modding sprees is usually a couple of weeks.
Maybe they had a calender reminder set. 🤷♂️
Probably just Imp having bad luck. If Dom had come back a couple days ago instead, Imp would have had at least a month to dump antinatalist rants all over. Or maybe you're right and Dom really did set a reminder to check on Imp a day after the ban expired to see if he changed his behavior any?
He did. His latest activity has been, 3 hours, 1 day, 6 days, 16 days, 17 days, 25 days.
Ah, that's hilarious. Looks like Imp managed to annoy Dom so much last time that he set a reminder to check on him after the ban expired.
I've been around the Internet for a while, but Imp mentioning "natalist propaganda" made me raise an eyebrow.
Its because we used to dump on him about artificial wombs and "how do we not go extinct in your world."
Rather than deal with the difficult questions arisen by these problems with his rhetoric and find a solution, he instead turned to calling it propaganda meant to trick him and dodged it. Because the alternative meant compromise and accepting women must exist in some manner.
He sure argues like a woman.
I suspect he was raised by an overbearing single mother.
He very obviously and noticeably would not acknowledge his mother if brought up in regards to if she counted amongst those he hated. Like full on obvious dodge.
So if not overbearing it was certainly something there.
How dare people /checks notes, want to reproduce.
Watching him unironically embrace the feminist invented idea of species extinction is just hilarious.
I am morbidly curious about the origin of that, but don't care enough about the man to hunt down the 'why's' of it.
It's been about 4 days recently so I wasn't expecting Imp to be gone until the weekend.
1000% he had his finger on the trigger. I honestly think Dom is speed running.
Jewish mothers are infamously overbearing. Feel bad for him.
Well, was nice to see he at least is more or less the same.
A constant in today's ever changing world.
Death, taxes and Imp being unable to slightly reword a potential rule 16-breaking comment.
I was in another thread, saw that despite it saying there were 12 comments, I only saw 3. So I reloaded the page in a private window and saw it was Imp. I had blocked him years ago, and it's hilarious that he was already deported before I even got a chance to call him a faggot, lol.
That is an impressive ratio. 4:1 is a lot of sperging.
It wasn't all him. The way blocking works on this site is all replies are also hidden.
lol
This is half true. Women can have the strongest in-group biases if they are “empowered” by society, and it is terrible for everyone when this happens.
The thing that Imp gets so wrong, however, is the completely asinine idea that you can solve for women’s in-group biases by banishing all of them from society. This strategy is retarded on its face. Women are a necessary condition that everyone must include in their societal calculus because they are literally required to propagate and sustain your culture, your people, and your nation. If you don’t have women, you’ve already lost.
This is where Imp’s other overt contribution to the board - pathological defense of Israel - becomes so hypocritical. Women are, again, a necessary condition for any nation. You know what isn’t a necessary condition? Being controlled by a deeply ethnocentric hostile foreign elite. You have to put up with some amount of women’s bullshit because you need to have kids. There’s no similar cost benefit analysis when it comes to AIPAC controlling your government.
Put another way; if in-group biases are a problem, then which group has the most brazen and harmful in-group biases while also being a completely unnecessary problem within your society? Because even if women are the worst and the most destructive, you still need them. But what about the second most biased and destructive group? Do you need to tolerate that influence?
To be very clear, this is not intended as eliminationist rhetoric. Unlike Israel, I’m not fond of genocide. The only thing that needs eliminating is the outsized influence of certain foreign demographics upon our cultures, governments, and nations. This doesn’t require violence, but it does require plain and unafraid language.
I guarantee you Jewish in group bias was overlooked in whatever studies he is talking about. It's not even something that's easy to study if you try, and modern studies wouldn't even try.
You don't even need to study it. Just have a conversation with one and they will let it slip. They can't help themselves.
Honestly, I don’t believe women do have the strongest in-group bias, even now. Just look at anything coming out of the UK around the Muslims. Every week we have a new video here of some woman rushing to defend a Muslim who’s losing a fight, and then you can also look at the way the Muslim women support their fathers and husbands who are in the grooming gangs—not denial that he would do such a thing, but support for him doing it. Not to mention that there are plenty of female MPs complicit in the coverups. On the American side, one only needs to observe just how many women will go to bat for BLM, or the Innocence Project when they dredge up their latest rapist/robber/murderer to canonize.
Of course, Imp also insists that any racial strife if a feminist distraction, so it’s not like that would convince him of anything.
He made over 20 comments bashing women and like 6-8 comments defending israel's genocide in Gaza
Dude was definitely too retarded to be JIDF but then again they are not renowned for sending their "best and brightest"
Maybe you weren’t here for it, but Imp’s posts were 100% anti-women for years. The pro-Jewish posting is a relatively recent development that took off right after October 7th. So yeah, very suspect.
His anti-women posts are intentional red herrings to distract from mainstream judeoscepticism. Look at how he has nothing to say on the (completely justified) points that women shouldn't be cops, firefighters etc.
Seems obvious Dom was waiting for any reason to ban him again. I’ve posted stuff that ought to have got me banned or at least smacked just to see how sleepy dom is and nothing happened.
Going to crunch some numbers just because.
Made about 30 hours ago as I type this.
Happened about 2 hours ago.
Made only 13 hours after he was back.
So to the surprise of nobody he couldn't keep a lid on it for even 24 hours.
Oof, as they say on Reddit. That puts his next appearance around 9/11 2026.
Giving him the perfect opportunity to blame Islamic terror on feminism, somehow.
Or get into pissing matches on c/funny
As if he ever needs an opportunity to do that.
Imp is thriving in MGTOW. lol
Only because that board is similar enough to his ranting he manages to fly close enough to the sun without combusting as he does everywhere else.
Impy is turning heads all over the boards on scored.
It's quite impressive.
IIRC u/Kaarous banned him from c/Gaming recently-ish because Imp just wouldn't stay on topic.
That's why he should be banned. R16 is stupid, but Imp is fucking poison for the forum.
He should be permabanned for the same reason that someone who repeatedly goes to a Teriyaki restaurant and throws an outrageous fit that they don't serve spaghetti and harasses the staff and other customers would get thrown out. Sure, he might initially be an entertaining lolcow, but after the novelty has worn out you just want to eat your lunch in peace.
Also, my prediction of 3 days was overly conservative.
This. The dude picked fights the moment he got back and immediately tried to turn every single conversation into an anti woman conversation. Any even mild criticism of his tribe got his immediate spaz out.
I think I predicted 45 days based off Dom’s monthy appearances. 😂. Way off.
I still dont support a ban. He should just not be responded to
That would only really work if he was shadow-banned and as a mechanism it's never good for a platform to do that.
He should be engaged like a troll. Do not talk about the insincere (or, in Imp's case, psychotically sincere) topics they want to bait you into. Instead make it about them personally and their trolling behavior.
Or maybe just talk to him and entertain yourself and others.
It was a lot of fun to get Imp to justify his belief that the vaccines would kill 90% of the world's population, and that both the virus and the vaccine were "created by women to kill men". A lot of people have conventional views, or views that are indistinguishable from someone else's views. His views are truly unique, and unlike most unique views, they are also entertaining.
You don't feed the trolls Tony. This is internet 101 stuff.
You think he's trolling?
Yes, I'm well aware that you were one of the worst offenders of carrying on off-topic sperg-outs with him. If you enjoy it so much, you can always go do it on Imp's forum.
Glad you were entertained as well.
The problem is, this is a subjective line that would apply to like half the people here realistically. People just pick on him specifically because he doesn't say things of much value or spergs extra hard about them.
For people who aren't outraged about Jews constantly, some of our more passionate anti-Jew posters are poison for the forum because every other fucking topic is Jews now. Or doomposters. Or MIGA/MAGA posters if you are on the other side of that.
Imps retarded, but any rule made to curb his type of behavior is just ripe for abuse against anyone else if Dom feels like being particularly imbecilic that day. Heck R16 when it came about was half made just for him, if memory serves, and look at how often people are pissed about that.
GG formed in response to Fake News which strongly overrepresents vous-savez-qui.
Yup that's why. He literally refused to actually stay on topic, rather than try to use my sub as a vehicle to launder his pet peeves.
He won't be coming back either. All three of us agreed on that too. We have enough trouble playing whack a mole with the spam bots and the pedophile to bother with him or any other determined wannabe polemicist.
The dude is a virus.
by this logic, Telia should be banned too
i never said "jews are scientifically proven strong in-group biases". Imp said women are genetically like that but i've never said jews are the way they are because "genetics"
Even though it's true?
Here's the thing: Imp constantly goes out of his way to argue with the stormfags and piss them off, so contrary to their plaintive, hand-wringing demands that they should be allowed to say whatever they want about their own target groups, they will immediately start reporting every comment Imp makes in order to bring him to Dom's attention and get him banned.
DoM doesn't go around reading every thread: he responds to reports. Those of us who are actually principled, unlike the stormfags, don't go around reporting all of their nonsensical tin-foil-hat Jew-baiting statements. If we did, many of those users would be gone just as quickly as Imp. The fact that so many of them are still here is simply a function of their own hypocrisy: they will hide behind free-speech principles at the same time as they go out of their way to get people who disagree with them banned, even if that person is harmless as Imp, because they are incapable of arguing in good faith.
"hypocracy" i was willing to support getting rid off rule 16 even if it meant Imp gets to stay. But Imp herself wanted to keep rule 16. That's her own fault.
And yet you have no compunction against using the rule you want to get rid of to silence your detractors.
You only want R16 gone so that you and all your friends and alts can turn this into just another ConPro style echo chamber where no one can have any conversation without 20 comments in the thread making it about the Jews and anyone who calls you on it getting downvoted into oblivion.
The heckler's veto is not free speech.
And you have been here longer than he has - it's a shame that this place does not have the flairs that make this clear.
Wow dude, did the Jews pay you to write this post? Stop attacking my main man Telia
Cut the bullshit. You know I showed up to debate TheImp in one of his shitter communities that he created. I had no obligation to do that.
Anti-Jew/Israel shit gets reported all the time, even innocuous posts. As a White Nationalist, you should have noticed that.
I’ve never reported anyone here. I don’t believe in it.
Meanwhile, I was once reported - and suspended - for saying that Jewish people control Hollywood. The horror!
As a proud stormfag, I can confidently say that Imp doesn't piss us off. To us, he is just a lolcow. Every time I respond to one of his comments it's purely to fuck with him and rile him up. I would never, and never have reported any of his comments.
Speaking of which, my comments get reported all the time. I even had my own little stalker crew reporting everything and downvoting every comment I made for a few months a while back.
TLDR: your comment is complete bullshit.
Dag is just telling on himself. Every remotely anti-Semitic comment is probably mass reported by default. The “stormfags” tend not to give a fuck unless they’ve been bitten once too often by R16. Then sure, people tend to retaliate.
Then why the endless threads about him on a forum where he's only able to post once a year if that?
Confession through projection
And yet here you are, poor persecuted you.
Do you even understand what this expression means?
Already answered: because he is a lolcow
I'm sure that made sense in your head.
I wasn't complaining about it. You were the one who brought up reporting comments, and then made an assumption that was exactly opposite of reality.
I think people should be reminded of the block option here DtG.
Dom should take care of the actual offenders bringing this place into legal waters but for someone who just wants to spout some performative schtick about how their mother didn't breastfeed them or something - just block and move on :)
Of course, boards without drama aren't boards and so we've got people mentioning shadowbans, working in clusters and generally ostracising someone from being heard.
The whole thing reeks of irony.
Your suggestions would be golden on a board full of honest actors. Unfortunately forums like this one attact all sorts of dishonest actors whose entire purpose is to derail discussion: sometimes feds, sometimes fifth-columnists, sometimes just extreme autists looking for an echo chamber where they can have their own ideas reflected unquestioningly back at them. Such people can't just block and move on because they're only here to drag us all down into the mud with them.
It’s funny that you think you’re in some kind of majority on this board lol
It's funny that you think you are.
This is unfortunate and I think he should get unbanned - and this is apart from the fact that I find him entertaining.
For several reasons:
The goal for bans should be, except for some truly bad actors, to get people to behave, not necessarily to punish. There are better ways to get the Imp to behave than to slap him with a 400 day ban for a single comment that is honestly not even that bad.
I want him banned but I want him to earn his ban. This was not a judicious application of the banhammer even if it swinging was inevitable.
Why do you want him banned though? Because he is disruptive?
There are other crazy people, but for some reason, people find it impossible to ignore Imp.
I guess when it gets right down to it I want him banned because .win's block function doesn't work properly. He creates ungodly levels of noise on the forum to the point where it's almost impossible to function with him here, similar to how the pedo pajeet was, only somehow even more omnipresent. But because blocking him doesn't actually prevent me from seeing all of his posts, just his threads, it means my forum experience becomes severely degraded similar to if a bot farm was spamming every thread on the site.
I think there is some truth to the fact that people follow him around and mass report him. He used to be paranoid about ConPro doing it before his last (or maybe the one before that) ban, and while it was deflection on people just not liking him it was certainly suspicious that he could post something and have 5+ downvotes within minutes every single time in threads with no other comments.
Who is doing it, I won't speculate. He makes lots of enemies and there are plenty of pockets of petty autists all over this site for all sorts of reasons. But I imagine it makes quite a Modque that will summon Dom from his eternal slumber and make him look far more disruptive than people who do the same thing as him but don't have that eye brought on them.
Yes. The mod queue gives moderators a distorted view of how things really are.
Absolutely unreasonable. You don't have to like him, but he deserves to be able to speak. Especially on a site like this that [until recently] seemed to be against censorship.
Nah. If he hijacks every single thread to rage about his pet topic? There's no need for that. Let him start his own thread (1 per day or he'd go wall-to-wall on the front page) to rant.
You can block users, you were always in control of your own experience. Dom, instead, seems content to have made the decision for us.
The block feature does nothing to hide the off-topic comment threads that he shits up on every post. It only hides his original posts from the front page.
I think it works properly if you use the Scored site. Not that I have much first hand experience with it.
“The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long. The Imp has burned so very brightly”
https://youtu.be/wRxHYHPzs7s
Personally, I think he's right. HR departments in many companies that are captured by feminists are pretty much run like a mafia hand.
Except that's not his argument. He thinks there is a global cabal of women that are masterminding everything wrong in the world and also jews did nothing wrong.
I was talking about the comment that got him banned. Women, once infected by the feminist hate plague, do start creating little cliques that have no problem hurting other men and even women for the sake of that power dopamine hit. HR being the worst of such situations where they gang up on others without a care for the consequences of their actions.
He can think whatever he likes, even if he's wrong. Also yes, marxism's a bigger fish to fry but we all saw what happened when the feminists were left alone for a while.
Everything you are saying about women is true, I object to any defense of Imp. Just cuz the jew mixes his lies with truths doesn't make him right.
If that's your personal opinion, then I'll respect that.
Well shit. My username continues to be relevant. The comment he made doesn’t even seem bad…
I didn't get a chance to mockingly accuse him of being one of the Tel Aviv bunker gays yet.
This was a completely retarded ban.
Who exactly is Imp hurting?
What exactly is he doing that threatens the safety of others or is imputed with some kind of reckoning from the outside based on what he types?
The fact that you can't say common sense things around here lest it be deemed an attack on an identity group is more retarded than anything Imp has said.
Should just be banned for trolling/inability to keep on topic, not rule 16 (which is gay). He turns every post into a 30+ comment fight over the woman question.
My sides.
Do you really still find him funny? He's tedious to me, just another Jew who wants his ethnostate but freaks out at anyone else being ethnocentric.
I'm 99% sure that he's not a Jew. People like to convince themselves that people who disagree with them are Jews. Hell, as you no doubt know, a lot of people here call me a Jew.
I used to not think he is, but I changed my mind after his behavior after 10/7. Defending Israel discredits him too much for him not to have a personal stake.
A lot of people reacted the same way to Oct 7. So why don't you conclude that about me? I also defended Israel after Oct 7, and for quite a long time too.
It clashed harder with his espoused world view than yours. He also gets emotional about it.
It makes sense to me. His worldview: women are the enemy, the Nazi gender, etc. There are these Stormfaggots who say that not women but Jews are the enemy. They are his competition. If people believe that Jews are the enemy, they won't believe that women are the enemy. Furthermore, Stormfaggots use anti-Israel to bolster their case that Jews are the enemy, so I defend Israel.
Also, I've seen some of these 'anti-women' types believe that men of all races should unite against the women. So they're very anti-racism because they view it as divide and conquer.
FWIW, he also defends Russia, and for some reason doesn't have a problem with the fact that Putin appointed a Nazi gender member as the central bank director.
I told you that Dom would crawl out of his hole just for the occasion. Impy is his favorite pinata.
Rule 16 should be renamed Imp's Law. Not even because I support his ban, but that it is used like a manifested bat that exists for the sole purpose of bashing Imp over the head.
honestly.. we all say the same thing that imp says. but the main difference is EVERY SINGLE POST he makes it about women lol.
fuck off and die, dom.
When it's actually a standalone complex.
Can we hold the id to expectations of morality? I think it's a waste of time to try.
Like 8chan, I can never keep up with this place's ecelebs, their names, and their drama.
Lucky. I’ve been here 5 years and Imp has always been muddying up posts with this crap. It’s funny at first but when every post was filled with him and AndonioOfVenice fighting over something it became too much of an annoyance to deal with. The ban is a worthy one, if not for the stupid rule 16 excuse.
It was so demoralizing seeing al every post with double digit comments only to quickly realizing it was always just Imp and/or Antonio being retarded.
Anton honestly should've gotten a (briefer) timeout for those too. Feeding the trolls is like the john buying the prostitute, it takes two for the interaction to occur.
I agree, don't poke the bear every single thread. Once, sure but don't do it every time.
Given that he's the not so secret mod of this forum, none of the horseshit he says would ever be acted on.
I find this hard to believe in this particular case. Imp's rants are immediately recognizable to anyone with working pattern recognition. And with the way he completely spergs out and takes over every thread he posts in, there is no way you haven't seen his schtick.
In situations like this check the age of the accounts saying this. Imp has been banned for a year, any accounts made in that time won't have seen him. Even before that he only lasted a week and a half last time so it's possible any new accounts here from the last 18 months won't know who he is.
I have seen him around for years. That's why I was immediately skeptical of his claim.
Imps the only one anyone cares about. And he predated this place by being a regular on the reddit long before the Win was made.
All the other "names and drama" are just "this sperg was annoying for a while, we all laughed at him until he deleted his account" like Lethn.
Considering the things that get said about all sort of groups of people on here, this gets the ban hammer? Wow.
The Dom must have a massive hate boner for this dude. Especially considering the lowkey faggy ban message.
My bet was reported within two threads and banned within 5, but definitely banned whenever Dom got around to logging in. Where do I collect my winnings?
Inclined to agree. While the post in question is annoying and generally shits up the thread, it doesn't actually strike me as crossing any lines that warrant a ban, even with Imp's track record.
Good. He's very aggressively retarded and needs to go, the same way all the groyper Hitler retards need to go. Any excuse is good enough.
