She had also made a post in the Imp Zone (which was the new incarnation of YCS at the time, which didn't matter anyway since the entirety of YCS went offsite years before then as a preemptive measure after LF got shut down).
Even then, the response there was basically "Jesus Christ, stop bringing attention to yourself."

To be fair you've banned me for accidentally making typographical errors about four times now so you're not really one to talk.

every new head admin has made the site progressively more liberal. Ozma looks like Ted Cruz compared to FAU.

So I've been lurking around some off-site goon hangouts and happened across this little gem 
I bolded a few good parts. Nuns btw is most likely SA user Nuns With Guns, who made a lot of whiny noises in the recent drama-filled QCS thread.

<Nuns> haha wow so Black Baby Goku just got his fourth permaban
<Nuns> probably permanent
<Nuns> because Lowtax and LadyAmbien did it
<Zereth> for what
<Nuns> posting MASSIVE longcat pics in the shmorky thread for four solid pages
<Nuns> because the thread sucks and stopped being funny ages ago
<Nuns> and now it's just creepy and sad
<Zereth> Ah
<Zereth> and yeah I'm pretty sure it did that
<Zereth> then got closed
<Zereth> and then lowtax re-opened it
<Nuns> he reopened it twice
<Nuns> and the second time threatened to de-mod/admin anyone that fucked with it again
<Zereth> yeah.
<Nuns> Black Baby Goku is also good friends with every admin on SA besides Lowtax and LadyAmbien
<Nuns> and all of them have made angry noises in the shmorky thread
<Yalborap> The fuck is going on with that thread.
<Nuns> so I won't be shocked if SA is down to the married couple as admins by morning
<Nuns> Yalborap: its a GBS thread where people can make fun of a genderqueer infantalist pedophile
<Zereth> lowtax wants it open for reasons
<Nuns> so naturally they mostly make fun of the generqueer part without the other bits that are worth mocking
<Zereth> so it stays open despite being way, way past when it should be closed
<Nuns> also lowtax has used the thread to put a stamp of approval on saying "tranny" and "retard"
<Zereth> huh I would have swrong I saw somebody get a probation for saying tranny or something in that thread when looking at the leper's colony the other day
<Nuns> they can't use it as an "obvious slur"
<Nuns> whatever that means
<Madtrixr> what does that even mean
<Madtrixr> thats literally what it already is
<Madtrixr> what the fuck
<Nuns> it means whatever the user wants it to mean
<Zereth> unless you're talking about a car part, and ONLY about a car part, in what was already a conversation about cars, that's
<Zereth> that doesnt' sound possible
<Madtrixr> how much you wanna bet its only gonna be bad when its used against someone the mods like, or if they're under public fire and someones making them look bad
<Zereth> you'd need somebody to bet against that
<Nuns> it'll be whatever and arbitrary
<Nuns> and then GBS will whine at the arbitrary applications because someone didn't get a joke or w/e
<Nuns> same as now only more whiny
<signoise> it means if you say it as a slur it's bad but if you say it as like, explanation for why you shouldn't say it
<signoise> like if you call someone it it's bad but if your'e saying "don't say this"
<Yalborap> What if you use it “ironically”.
<Zereth> pretty sure you're giving lowtax way too much credit there
<signoise> possible
<signoise> i've basically like uhh
<signoise> i mean i think of sa not as a community
<signoise> it's a collection of communities in the same location
<signoise> i stick to my cliques
<signoise> i'm not irreverent or cool enough with being offensive to hang out in certain areas
<Zereth> like I am almost certain that lowtax was saying something like you could tall people "tranny" as logn as it's funny and ""not an obvious slur""
<Zereth> I don't itnend to dig through the thread to check
<signoise> what he probably actually means is
<Nuns> his examples were along the lines of "two trannies passed me on the street and called me a sad sack" is ok
<signoise> you can say lol tranny
<Nuns> and "this retard in gamestop bought halo 3"
<signoise> but you can't say shut the fuck up you tranny i hate you and your kind, die in a pitch fire
<signoise> but you know
<signoise> if it's less offensive than that, go for it
<signoise> ugh now i feel dirty
<Zereth> Nuns: ah
<Zereth> so "you can use it as a slur, as long as you're not using it as a slur"
<Yalborap> I am increasingly glad I got out of the damn forum.
<Nuns> I'm not gonna go digging up the direct quote again but yeah basically Zereth
<signoise> "you can use it as a statement of fact but not with negative connotations" ugh
<Nuns> he also didn't know "tranny" was a slur until people pointed it out on twitter right after
<Zereth> or rather "as logn as you're not using it as an obvious slur! Here's an example of me using it as an obivous slur to show how to do that." "uh"
<Nuns> and still was being all sulky about it
<Nuns> even though he said he wouldn't use it in the future
<signoise> well like
<signoise> sa is a community of trolls and rejects from other parts of the internet
<signoise> and generally broken people
<signoise> you'd think it wouldn't be thunderdome
<Zereth> Nuns: he
<Zereth> didn't know it was a
<Zereth> what the fuck.
<Nuns> yeah that's easy to find
<Madtrixr> yeah he didnt know
<Madtrixr> i dont know how its only been that way for a decade+
<Nuns> https://twitter.com/lowtax/status/818581649109590018
<skybot> Nuns: 2017-01-09 22:14:08 lowtax: I've always supported transsexuals, but today I learned using the word "trannies" is apparently hateful, so I've actually always hated them?
<io1> 'transsexuals'
<Yalborap> So Lowtax just thinks it’s still the late 90s, I guess?
<Zereth> I don't belive him on the "i'e always supported" part
<signoise> he's just an old man
<signoise> honestly
<Nuns> he says later in the reply chain that he wont say tranny anymore but still, he was being a sulky shithead about it all
<Nuns> oh who cares signoise
<Zereth> like I don't mean "oh I don't think he's actually supported or done anything" I mean I think he is lying there
<Nuns> lowtax is having some bitter grudge match against a mentally-ill pedophile and GBS is melting down over it
<signoise> at best he's completely ignorant while running one of the most offensive successful forums in history
<io1> i think lowtax is a very unhappy person irl
<Zereth> a mentally ill pedophile he used to employ, which may have somethign to do with the mess
<io1> like he depends on this forum he fucking hates and cant stand being on full of horrible people to fund his lifestyle
<signoise> i kinda sympathize cause like
<Nuns> Zereth: yeah and they were close friends
<signoise> so as director of a dept at an anime con, a lot of my friends help out
<Nuns> but it's all this big maelstrom of poo at this point
<signoise> some of them are very bad at their jobs
<signoise> and it feels bad firing them
<signoise> even though it's a volunteer position, it feels bad taking it away
<Nuns> really all I'm wondering is if FAU, cowcaster, and zen death robot will end up still being admins
<Zereth> io1: he also seems to hate that it's changed over the last fifteen years
<signoise> but i'm like ok, i really want this to be a successful thing, but in order for that to happen i have to get a damn stranglehold on it
<Yalborap> Changed to be even worse on the whole, or changed to have pockets of decent people?
<Zereth> Yalborap: honeslty it feels like "changed at all", despite the fact taht it changed becuase the world changed becuase things don't stay the same over the course of 15+ years
<Madtrixr> he was pretty hands off for a while there
<Zereth> then suddenly "LET"S TAKE ALL THE RULES OFF GBS"
<Zereth> "THAT WILL DEFINTELY RETURN THIGNS TO HOW THEY USED TO BE"
<Nuns> update: Baby Black Goku's fourth permaban probably won't be permanent lol
<Roland_Jones> Okay, I haven't been following this, what's this about a "mentally ill pedophile" now?
<Nuns> Roland_Jones: shmorky did sexual rps online with a 15/16 year old girl
<Roland_Jones> Ah.
<Nuns> with poop and pee
<Nuns> there's like over 90 pages of logs so I'll take it as a given those are real
<Nuns> idk about the rest of it but that's a whole secondary clusterfuck
<Madtrixr> anyways lowtax has absolutely lost his mind over this
<Madtrixr> as well as like
<Madtrixr> gbs as a whole
<Roland_Jones> He's lost his mind over GBS as well, or GBS also lost its mind?
<Madtrixr> gbs is losing their shit
<Madtrixr> its a fucking mess
<io1> yeah i refuse to read the logs
<io1> because based on what ive heard they could count as childporn in my country
<io1> like sexually explicit infant sex roleplay? yeeaahhhhh
<Roland_Jones> Jeez.
<io1> also the thing with SA changing over the past 15 years
<io1> it changed because the internet in general has changed
<io1> i mean the rise of social consciousness and pro-social justice sentiment online is a huge element, though not the only one
<io1> like a lot of the SASS people are people that loved SA in 2000/2001 and hate that its not th esame
<io1> where they can say horrible things and troll and be giant abusive assholes
<Madtrixr> yeah sounds like the kinds of dude who want helldump back
<io1> helldump was awful
<io1> like it was funny in the first couple months when it was just people ripping, in a harmless way, on posters universally understood to be terrible
<io1> but then it got fucking horrible with cliques made up of posters that couldnt post decently or funnily to save their lives
<io1> and with the internet detectives (crumbunist foremost amongst them) basically functioning as SA's secret police
<io1> like there'd be helldump rap battles going on for like 5 pages of threads
<io1> with not a single post being worth reading
<Alaois> its funny to me with all this doxxing shit happening recently, crumbunist is never involved in any of it
<Alaois> and he's still around, he posts about Oregon football
<io1> oh yeah
<io1> crazy
<io1> there's a reason i dont post on SA much
<io1> because the people there can be fucking nutjobs
<io1> im glad as fuck i was an annoying as shit teenager on goon irc instead of on SA from 2001-2004
<io1> because if it'd been the latter i'd be an internet celebrity on SA by this point and almost certainly internet detectived
<Nuns> probably permanent
<Nuns> because Lowtax and LadyAmbien did it
<Zereth> for what
<Nuns> posting MASSIVE longcat pics in the shmorky thread for four solid pages

Do the dickgirls make you so excited you accidentally break the spoiler tags every time?
Did they have the permission of @Lowtax or do they think he's enough of a cuck he'll just sigh and go okay, lock it this time even though I said the next mod who locked it was gone?

I dunno, weird stuff happened. The longcat guy was Black Baby Goku, and Lady Ambien permabanned him, but he's the golden child of half the admins on the site. He got unpermabanned and the thread got locked at about the same time. It doesn't say who did what. Lowtax didn't say he was locking it though.

The last post in the thread, post-locking, is by an admin bragging that BBG has survived three permabans. Trying to find out what actually happened atm.

Hoping some mods get fired over this. Not in the least because they just admitted permabans don't mean shit.

Simple, they got a friendly backseat moderation by shitposting thread to death going, then pulled the trigger, blaming the person who would get away with it anyway.

It's fucked up, especially as before BBG came in the admins were threadshitting what was still a content-producing thread. They permabanned one of the guys contributing photoshops after coming in to call him a piece of shit for no real reason. IDK, it looked like they shut down a good thread on purpose because of ???

Pretty much. FYAD used to spam threads they wanted closed with Stone Cold Steve Austin images.
It's not unusual for FYADs to have their bans reversed by FYAD admins (Garbage Day used to do it all the time).
Lowtax himself stepped in once to unban Wayne Gretzy.
And yeah, BBG getting banned and unbanned has been a running joke for years.
