This poll can end in nothing but shame and embarrassment, unless everyone picks one of two answers.

There is no shame in antisocial media. I am able to make dew with the "nun of these" option and not be shamed or embarrassed.
Social Media is not so much a "constellation" or "network" as it a fuster cluck. A centralized one unlike decentralized Usenet which could carry *ahem* certain newsgropes that some campuses or corporations would be embarrassed to host.

No. I did it very correctfully.
With your solution it is necessary to remove the letter "l" if interchanging prefixes. With my solution, you simply interchange the leading "f" and "cl" in the words fuster cluck. No letters have to go missing.

Obviously, it is something to be spam modded. Immediately. On site. For no discernable reason.

Clearly, the admin have weaponized Spam mods. Originally, they were meant for actual spam, and you should look at the raw journal feed for some idea of what any website is up against. By now, it think I need a Rock Crusher. But that is neither here, nor there. We had the debate over whether the Spam Mod could be used on spammish racist and right wing stupid posts, and the decision was, yes it could. TMB left immediately after that, for some reason, despite him being a siwash pill-boddie. And then we were left with the pure Alt-white-right, like Ncommander and janrinock, oh, and chromas. (Somehow, our SN Nazis always seem to hang behind the scenes, in IRC and nearly no where else.) So now anyone can Spam Mod anyone they disagree with, as long as that person might be aristarchus, or slightly left and anti-racist, like aristarchus, or flat-out anti-fascist, like the 101st Airborne, or aristarchus. Spam pile on the aristarchus.
Well, that is working out so well that hardly anyone posts here anymore, because of the censorship. Dead internet zone, they are calling it. Former discussion website, they denominate it. Janrinok is talking to ACs that he thinks he has identified, when to the rest of us, it looks like he is talking to a figment of his own imagination. And then he Spam Mods it. This is not healthy.
So, my suggestion, entire new admin and editorial crew. Remove the Spam mod. Institute a meta-moderation scheme, not under control of any self-appointed tyrants. Oh, and, quit trying to identify aristarchus. We are people of internet conversation, and lies do not become us.

Yes! A completely new site. Of you go then and create it. Perhaps we will come and marvel at your l33t skills when you finally get it going. Did you volunteer to help out, or even to do the routine admin when NCommander asked for volunteers in December?
I have undone 7 spam moderations in about the last week or so. We actually have a special page that displays all of the spam and troll mods so that we can undo them if necessary and check if anyone is abusing the moderation system. They are not.

I am not afraid of anything that you might do. Why do you ask?
Can you show me the posts by apk? We announced many months ago that we would delete Spam if we wished to do so. But you haven't shown that I have deleted anything.
You are banned. And if you have posted almost 20 identical posts - that would certainly be Spam. It would be repetitious, off-topic, and designed to disrupt the purpose of the discussions. It would be Spam.

And what truth was there in the comments you have been posting recently? You have never been a member of our staff. There was no such email. You posted your unsubstantiated claims last week.
I am not telling lies - but I know that you are.
I cannot see what you hope to achieve by your actions. If you wanted to rejoin our community you could have used one of your mulitple accounts that we left open for a while to see how you used them. But that didn't appear to be your reason for staying as you only used them to continue your abuse - much like you have been doing recently. You are doing nothing to make us reconsider your ban.
I am not going to be driven away by your silly claims. We are not going to disappear.
But you seem to be unsatisfied with your actions that caused the removal of ACs from the front pages and now it appears you want ACs banned from the journals too. You seem determined to force us to consider that as a possible option. You do not care who is inconvenienced by your own behaviour - no matter what moral high-ground you once claimed that you held (but, in fact, that you never did hold). Go on - try to explain what you hope to achieve so that others can stand behind you in support. But at least try to be truthful about it.

“Only please, Brer

No university is going to tolerate you interrupting calculus class to protest that the professor isn't willing to discuss the alt-right during class time. They also won't tolerate you creating 70 FYN accounts on the university computer system. Your behavior here would have led to you being expelled from any respectable university long ago.

"Fuster cluck" and similar stuff are called Spoonerisms [wikipedia.org] and are quite common. In fact, the Capitol Steps [wikipedia.org] used them to great effect with many bits including their "Lirty Dies" bit.

I'm on here, and a diesel truck forum, which is mostly frequented by farmers, ranchers, truckers, and those who are interested in the mechanics of the operation and maintenance of diesel engines.
I figure these groups represent the cream of the crop of what's left of humanity. We design stuff and make it work.
So far, I have yet to meet a farmer, rancher, trucker, mechanic, or similar tradesman I hold in contempt of being nothing but a useless parasite to society.
However the ones who profess leadership skills frequently earn my ire. Some people make things, some do nothing but destroy things others made.
It is bad for me to associate with them. They are masters at putting the fire that drives me.
