The bans given were tough (maybe tougher on at least GMac than I would've been), but ultimately fair in context. Voted Yes on all.

Also struggling to see how the absence of any of these people has "made the forum a worse place" other than subjecting us all to Beep Boop spamming multiple pages of complaints about their bans.

Pretty much this. I can see an argument for giving GMac a lighter sentence, much as we butt heads he can make good points sometimes. I don't, however, agree with that argument. Remember he just got off a one month ban from back in October for similar dehumanizing remarks.

Vosem isn't going to change. He deserved his ban but don't expect to see an iota of difference if/when he returns.

The other two are deplorable, jaichind should've been been kicked out for good.

This is a fair point if this was an isolated incident, but this was his fourth or so moderator action. Mods take that into account when determining punishment length, particularly since repeated infractions indicate a lack of ability to course correct. (edit: sorry, didn't see your edit before I responded. To be clear I am in agreement with you)

I don't really know because I, like everyone else, only ever saw and retained a small % of their posts, especially the stuff that got removed, but the moderator team, compromised of hard-working professionals across the political spectrum, has earned all of our trust on matters like this, so I'll have faith and say Yes/Yes/Yes/Yes.

Yes all around, and afaik only YH's ban was permanent?

Debasing another groups humanity is wrong, no matter your ideology. Afaik of the 'banned' posters each one of them approached this line in their own way.

I cannot recall a single time YellowHammer ever made a worthwhile contribution to anything. He was just terrible.

The rest you can at least debate.

Yes on all, and everyone except maybe GM is on their way to full ban, and he probably will make it there too.

I'm willing to bet actual money that GMac hasn't changed and I'm generally not a gambler
