FTR

I don’t regularly converse on the trans thread but for the record I didn’t know I was deadnaming branwell. I was mad at branwell for defending terfs on the grounds that at least they’re not hitler, what sense would it make for me to be transphobic in response? At any rate I don’t actually need to participate in that convo but I want to register my disagreement w that decision bc it was not right alrightbye

wtf is deadnaming and since when dyou get banned for it

for the record, I oppose deej's banning on the grounds that at least he's not hitler

Lol

ftr I think storming in and telling someone who has posted about their own journey w/gender identity "I have too many dogs in this fight, and as far as I can see you have none" is worse and more cruel and cutting and I don't know why deej's post is worse.

^^^

srsly

Yeah that was rude, to say the absolute least.

rude? it was an absolute fucking scandal of a post. am completely dumbfounded that the only action taken so far has been a threadban for a third party. especially as it appears Brad has indefinitely quit ILX as a result

Calling someone by their pre-transition name, iirc.

Let's define that in context pls

I dont think I'm the person to be doing that.

The context was the trans/etc thread, so a threadbanning would be appropriate - I believe that d40 honestly didn't realise he was doing it in this case ftr

Also ftr I agree with everyone bb was out of order & I support brad 100% but I don't read stepping back from a shitty convo & saying "see y'all later" as quitting the board?

Tapping out.

Good for mod input here just so we know the rules kinda thing

I was ticked off by deej naming their real/previous name, solely because they said so many times to not use it. I'd think deej must've known this. That stand, but having said that, it was never my intention to have deej threadbanned, which seems an overreaction to me.

Also, I really hope Brad will be back soon. The metal poll is finishing tomorrow ffs.

OK, Branwell has been threadbanned from the trans thread. Another mod had made that call about deej last night and I had been waiting for them to show up to chat about it. They haven't been online all day though so I don't know if anything else will come of this later...

Everyone, thanks for your patience. Sometimes it's tough being the sole mod on duty, which to be truthful I am a lot of the time. There are issues that I would feel better conferring with another mod about. Clean-up is the real reason why I joined up as a mod: links that are broken, altering thread titles, image formatting... Really don't like banning people or dealing with behavior issues.

Cheers hl

Nakh jabs notwithstanding you're a good mod imo

Oh, I'm sure I'll find some way to cause problems all the time again.

Aye cheers HL.
