Seems that The Mighty Buzzard is tired of winning. Filters and mod-bans, IRC kicks, anyone who proves that TMB is a loser in debate sooner or later finds themselves blocked from SoylentNews. And seems it is just this one dev who is asserting these admin powers, and lobbying for more draconian rules.
AzumaHazuki was kicked from #soylent by Aphrodite!Aphrodite@dodekatheon.olympus.gr [(TheMightyBuzzard) No reason given]
No reason given, no reason needed, and indeed a complete lack of reason, other than Buzzard displeasure.
*TheMightyBuzzard* FatPhil, Fnord666, Bytram, chromas: adding 24h to each subsequent ban for the same thing (not doubling except the 2nd time, just cause math) sound reasonable to you folks?
Come now, Miffed Bussdart, just go with the shadow-banhammer, for great discussion control. And the provocation?
*AzumaHazuki* is carrion-breath here showing his ignorance again? i have him muted so i can't see
[15:06:22] *c0lo* Moving goal posts, TMB. Spare your back for those trimmings in the church
[15:06:31] *AzumaHazuki* oh, but be careful, you might get !quiet'd or even kickbanned for being ruuuuuuuuuuude
[15:06:41] *AzumaHazuki* because freeze peach
[15:06:44] *TheMightyBuzzard* goal posts? you went entirely off topic so there are no goal posts.
[15:07:20] *TheMightyBuzzard* AzumaHazuki, yes, you might. you've been warned about shitting up the place with personal attacks. that goes even for ones on me.
Personal attacks on the poor little TMB! Life is so unfair! But at least now he can shit post in peace.
And, in the mean time, aristarchus has been mod-banned again, because some new user modded posts the same way as aristarchus did? How convenient, we get all the Buzzard opposition out of the way in one fowl swoop! Now the Runaway Buzzard Gun Blog is complete, the best of Oklahoma and Arkansas, and nothing of value is gained. But the dream of a user moderated site that was BuckFeta is dead. Rest in Pieces.

"it'd be nice if we got to hear instead of them getting run off by monkeys flinging shit."
The lack of self-awareness is staggering, and the hypocritical excuses you give for implementing a CoC without actually posting a CoC is damning.
The scariest part is you're likely totally un-aware of your own bullshit, along with 25% of the US, busy calling everyone else fascists while trying to overturn a democratic election in favor of a literal violent fascist that assaulted innocent people for a photo op and instigated a violent insurrection. Then you spout off like you're the true patriot and leader of freedom while we have multiple examples of you losing your shit on SN users that kicked your ass in some arguments.
What happened to words aren't violence? What happened to your thick skin? Suddeny you have excuses for why you have to discriminate against Azuma? Because the IRC channel should be free from shit flinging in case you need to field a support question? Fucking looooool, you're a big giant baby.
