First part of the process is making an email. Seems simple enough EXCEPT all major free email addresses require you to setup a secondary email to verify your primary email and if you don't, chances are you can't use this email to verify your account for account creations.
This is obviously done in hopes that you link an email that is linked to you in your verification step. This has nothing to do to ensure protection or get rid of automated accounts because it's easy for automation to do this secondary step.
So, you're forced to create two new emails from two different email providers and cross-link them.
Once that's done, you've got to setup your X account which is a nightmare in itself because their new "confirm you aren't a bot" thing is garbage with 10 questions you have to answer. It took me two tries to get it but since I took so long, it didn't properly load when I got it and I was forced to do it two more times to get it. That's answer 40 questions to prove you aren't a robot.
The irony is my X account got banned for being a bot even though I've never used a botting program ever and I don't even use AI to post.
There could have also been admin pressure for sure, but I know our dear mod was talking about tweaking the filters for ages, and the main admins were at least openly saying they were hands off on the issue.
Not saying it's one person's fault, and not another, but from what I personally perceived it was Dom setting up the filters, and the admins being like 'we don't even fucking care.' Again, anecdotal, and I could have gotten the wrong impression.
I just know the MGTOW mods complained the admin were putting pressure on them for the pedo spammer and the mods were mad cause they shouldn't have to be moderating the community 24/7 because they have lives, unlike the MOSSAD Pedo Spammer.
That's probably because the pedojeet was farming karma for all his new alts on mgtow before bringing them to the other boards.
KIA2’s issue was having one mod, vs multiple people who could easily remove stuff.
