If you look at the link I provided it points to a Meta released by Martyb who was the senior manager at the time. It was agreed by the administration by agreement after a discussion. It was necessary because of the disruption to the site being caused by a handful of community members which eventually also resulted with ACs being prevented from commenting in the front page stories.

Thank Goodness that happened, and we ended up with a diminution of 96% of comments, once ACs had been banned. And, you really did not follow the debate over what constituted "spam", when TMB was arguing that anything that critiqued the right was spam? Has your memory gone, or your integrity, my dear and aged janrinok? Time to shut the site down, since you have prevented kolie from buying out the husk that remains. Spam mod me again, boyo! Prove that there is nothing here but the dregs of the alt-right, that have been banned at all decent websites. I dare you!!

I would say it is 50/50 split on regular users and alt-lighters, and the bigots seem yo be trying hard to clean up their act around here. Or maybe dump's insurrection and other crimes have finally generated a tiny bit of humility with some of the more self aware users. Either way you are more right than wrong and the masked rightwing bias is still pretty clear.

Nah, only five or six really brain damaged alt- and trad-right neo-nazis and Southern Lost Mind Cause soylentils, though they do seem to be given protection from the Brexit Knot Seas sympathizers in the Staff. I, for one, do not welcome out right-wing coddling administration. Time to shut the entire site down, since the neo-nazis have borked the kolie buy out. You get what you pay for.

I, for one, second the nomination of aristarchus. At least something would get done, if only the doxxing of the fucking fascist at 142 Wallaby Way, Sidney, Arkansas!

Is this spam modded for nominating aristarchus, or for being suspected of being aristarchus? Or, are spam moderations just the default, now?

If you don't know the rules best you don't try quoting them to other people.
