opebo's Ban: Keeping track of the backlash/fallout.

[Eraserhead]

THE GRAVEYARD

- opebo (banned)
- Lewis Trondheim (left in protest following the ban)
- Miamiu1027/ "Boss Tweed" (left in protest following the ban)
- HockeyDude (left in protest following the ban)
- Mark Warner 08/ "Tender Branson" (appears to have left for undisclosed reasons)*
- spamage (left in protest of the ban and the hostile climate; intends to return at some point)

*Possibly a gag?

Additional Notes:
- mah519   (leaving the forum, doesn't appear to be related to the opebo controversy)
- Antonio V (leaving for a month, says it's unrelated to the opebo controversy)

Did I miss anyone/anything so far?

[Adam Griffin]

Spamage has also fallen, unfortunately.

Spamage has also fallen, unfortunately.

Ah, I see. Thanks. I'll add him.

[Franzl]

If both Lewis and Tender actually are out, I may leave this place for good.

Very depressing

I hope I don't have to add you to the graveyard.

Tender? Damn shame, that one.

[Hatman 🍁]

He says it's unrelated, but Al is quitting the International Elections modship.

[H. Ross Peron]

Considering Antonio was anti-Opebo, I don't think his brief vacation is related.

Unfortunate

It was indeed just a gag.

Haha, I guess that was too much to hope for.

Have a nice day.

I'm not sure what the point of this sarcasm is really?

I constantly tell people who have been rude or inconsiderate to have a nice day as part of my occupation, and it stopped being an act (or sarcastic) several years ago.  So I hope you did have a good day.

Well... that made me feel valued...

Yeah I can see how it could... No offense intended to you or any other very valuable forum members...

You think I hurt Lief's feelings? I'm sure he can handle it. Expressing my disapproval of someone is not quite what I consider rude, personally. But fair enough. I guess I hope you had a good day too then.

Obviously I need to do some reading about this ban, but on first glance if we've lost Lewis (and the others) because of it, I'm going to be hoping the reason for the ban was pretty damn iron-clad.

I still have no idea what the actual reason for the ban was so I hope you have better luck trying to figure it out. Dave Leip is a very cryptic fellow indeed.

Spoiler alert: it wasn't.

Also Gustaf, you're free to come up with made up reasons to ban me if you want, like you folks did with opebo. According to the late, great Sam Spade I (among others) was on "the list" so I'm sure it's been discussed at least.

Lol. I know (hope?) you're just trolling as usual, but I never come up with made up reasons to ban people, nor do I recall any list.

I keep my moderating and my personal dislikes pretty separate.

Gustaf is a good mod (but I think he has been angry-sounding in many of his recent posts). Fortunately, I frequent another forum Tweed posts on so I may try to contact him at some point.

This opebo fanboyism got tiresome months ago. He was banned, he had built up a bunch of offenses which contributed to him being banned, he brought nothing of worth to the forum. Get over it.
