One of KM's first probations she gave out was probating someone because she had misread their post and jumped to the conclusion that the poster was racistly differentiating white women from black and trans women. Turned out the poster was referring to activist and non-activist women. And was also black. Great job fighting racism there, KM.

Dare I ask if she admitted fault or (gasp) undid her decision?

Outside of Games, which has seemingly only been affected by things badly by way of not being able to discuss GG(because it apparently turns everyone into raging idiots, and is also a site-wide rule)

Not apparently. It actually did. The topic sprang up in a ton of threads and every time discussion turned to shit. So they contained it in a special thread that was concentrated shit. Posters on both sides were shit. No one made any points about anything except shit. It was just shit.

Yeah lets debate gamer gate in good faith that sounds like about as much fun as swallowing buckshot at 1200fps. I think you missed the point of the zoo.

did just seeing it not being gassed or memory holed offend your sensibilities or something?

This was yet another case of Lowtax vs moderation. Lowtax made the hellthread specifically because he thought it was stupid to blanket ban topics from his forum, and the moderation fucked with it until it died.

Another affirmative action success story.
 
Here's the 'Hey Lowtax' rebellion to show @OwO What's This? how great and perf full-screen capture is.

Thank you. I know it's good, but for some reason the server was rejecting it and I just wanted to get it over and done with since people (you) had been waiting for quite a bit already.

Plus I don't think the drip feed was necessarily a bad thing.

Yeah we should expect a lot of things to break down around here now that we can't shame null into fixing them with the "Have you tried asking lowtax for help?" meme.

Her bans are basically for violating safe-space policies, someone reports someone because they(the reporter) lack reading comprehension, or (in the case of Negrotown)because they're hypersensitive and paranoid, and keen to read into anything that isn't either paranoid ramblings of oppression, sentiments of black pride, or talking about how terrible white people are(whether it's self-flagellating white people as the source or not is a whole other thing) either explicit or dogwhistle racism.

A bunch of black folks, or at least people who claim to be black, have been told never to post in the thread again because they've made some kind of misstep that has them at odds with whatever social-justice sensibilities either Negromancer(Negrotown OP) or KM(a diversity hire) have had at any particular time.

There was also that one time Negromancer(at the time had the name "gfsincere", relevant for the followup)had called people out as not even being black because they didn't have the right opinions.

Let's see how that went..
Edit: Nutranurse had a namechange at some point, incase anyone is confused by the mismatch of usernames.

Posters reduced to showing themselves taking the classic "brown paper bag test".
