There was a great post in some forum ages ago where someone was stating the issues with SA moderation/Administration.

They used an analogy that stuck with me

SA is like going to the movies, you show up, you laugh, you clap, you get drawn in to farcical tales, dramatic stories and silly comedy. But for some reason they keep letting the janitors run in and kick people out for laughing at the wrong part of the movie or for getting the bad kind of soda.

You don't wanna spend $10 for the cleaning crew to bust in during Blazing Saddles and screaming "THIS IS PROBLEMATIC!" so why would you give money to Something Awful?

No, it gets used all the time. Think about anytime somebody's had a conversation with you like "Hey so an idiot just crashed into my car." How do you refer to that unknown idiot of undisclosed gender? Take a blind shot with "he" or "she"? Go for a "he or she"? Ask "was it a man or a woman?" before continuing the conversation? Refer to them as "the idiot who crashed into your car" instead of by pronoun? No. All of those are awkward as fuck. You use the singular they, without even thinking about it, because it's a completely normal and natural part of the English language and always has been.

No you use she or "fucking old cunt," because its a car accident. If its a generic bank president you use he.
 
There was a thread about the latest cop shooting in GBS (Philando something?) with one of the Trump avatars just calmly posting statistics and FAU had a meltdown posting numerous 6 paragraphs posts at him until the thread was closed.

and it's cool that one guy got banned for being forced to post his picture when goons were going into panic attacks from troons having their pictures posted here by kiwis.

Can you link to where that is? was YUG making that point? or did he get set up for something else?

I think that they were just sick of his non-politically correct posts and anti-SJW posts and opinions.

I took some screenshots. Screenshot 1 - all of his posts between the "mod challenge" and him being banned (the screenshot shows that FAU claims the ban reason is "shitting up GBS and garbage opinions" etc). I've also included his last probation below that in the screenshot (for talking about "chicks with dicks" and calling them mentally ill):
Yug posts part 1.png
As I said, most of his past probations are for non-PC opinions. Notably, he got accused of transphobia for his posts in a thread where people were talking about some incident where a "trans" person was masturbating in a womens' shower area or something and the only thing that was "trans" about them was a wig they were wearing. The two screenshots from the relevant thread pages are attachments at the end of this post.

Some more of his probates - probated for antisemitism for implying that "media gatekeepers" that canceled a right-wing television show are Jews by using that echo thing, probated for criticizing that infamous transgender comic where one of the characters reveals that he/she has male genitals to her boyfriend, another probation for making crude sexual comments about a girl in a Collider video in a Red Letter Media thread, and some probations for trolling about black cock:
Yug posts final - only contains some of his probation posts not the complete set.png
In his defence, in the RLM thread it's normal for people to make crude sexual comments about the male RLM guys (which are never punished), but apparently women are off-limits. Some of said crude posts:
Yug RLM thread Collider girl .PNG
RLM thread Jay's cum.PNG

There's nothing he's been punished for that the equivalent from the opposite side of the political spectrum wouldn't get away with.
The Antifa retards on SA, which there are many of, get away with advocating and admitting to violence all the time and leftist trolling of right-wing/liberal shit is given a pass. This is just the mods showing their bias again.

He should change his name to "Facts Are Racist". I wonder if he's expecting ass pats and good boy points for his white knight posting.

Black people are killing each other in Chicago in record numbers on a yearly basis. The city, and Illinois in general, are owned by democrats and no amount of "muh racist drug war" or "muh racist judicial system" is going to stop that. They're committing far more homicides and violent crimes than white people.
 
Wow, what a master debater. I could probably win an argument too by just saying "fuck you racist shitlord!" over and over again. And .gov sources are fake klan sites now?

The only things I recall about FAU from before he and ZDR enacted Cat Lady 2.0 was that he was a poster in the old grognards.txt thread. Those started out good but got increasingly autistic as the funny posters were banned for having the wrong opinions about Dungeons and Dragons. Which, SA's tradgames has been an SJW hive for a long time. It's run by a gestapo RPG.net mod and is the home of the insane troon Arivia. He's the guy who screamed at the Pillars of Eternity devs on twitter until they took a "transphobic" limerick out of their game.

Did anything ever come of his dox?

Who is the mod? This sounds like it could be promising.

That would be Ettin. He's a mod both on RPG.net and SA since the old mod Winson_Paine stepped down. RPG.net is pretty well known for being essentially Neogaf but for traditional gaming where the mods will not hesitate to ban you for saying anything that goes against the hivemind.
 
Here's that entire thread, for archival purposes. A fun read.

Damn, that guy knows how to jerk off a cow and I assume the only reason he hasn't been banned is because FAU realizes it would only make him look even more like a bitch. Maybe he's still begging one of the other admins to do it to save face.

The one they were upset about was "Nongs". I guess it's like a Chinese redneck. Triggered a whole bunch of people for whatever reason.

The word is neutral to complimentary in Chinese, although a very popular batshit columnist in Hong Kong has been using the phrase "xiu nong" (小農; petty farmers) as a slur for years and that seems to have caught on.

A redneck is Xiang-Ba Lao (鄉巴佬)

Genesplicer came into the old China thread and probated a bunch of people for racism while admitting that he wasn't even reading the thread. He stuck to his guns even while a good number of posters were explaining the nong=farmer thing, including a few Chinese goons.

It is just like when TV Tropes insisted that Nakama is a mystical, untranslatable concept, despite native Japanese speakers pointing out otherwise. Whities are strange.

SA was always going to lean left no matter what- driving out anyone who dares to disagree was completely unnecessary. I'm liberal on something like 97% of the issues and I just couldn't stand the atmosphere there anymore.

Oh, and that guy talking about how masculine he was was a total douche but demanding he dox himself was equally douchey.

How is that guy not banned yet?

I love FAU's thought process. "It's not my job to convince someone of the idea I want them to believe. I'll just swear at them and call them names until they realize I'm right."
 
He probably really wants to ban him but is thinking that might get Lowtax's attention again. Which is funny, because we've seen all they need to do to regain control of the forums is to have ZDR passive-aggressively threaten to take his free DBA support and walk.

Which, Lowtax, I assume you're still reading this thread. A Lynda or Team Treehouse subscription is not that much money. Get yourself on there and learn SQL or something. Then, suddenly, you don't have to bow to a bunch of fun-hating communists anymore. It's a win-win for everyone.

I would literally buy him the pro-plan for Treehouse for 6 months if he banned ZDR, FAU and the rest of the fun hating admin/mod crew
