I’m not sure what the settings are like for the mods, but twice now I’ve had good discussions with HONEST contributors, only to find a day or so later all of their comments deleted. According to the logs you can usually point out a potential line they may have crossed, but still they crossed that line in a single/handful of comments, not 100% of their contributions...

That's not us...those are self-deletes. We don't purge accounts here...we have a mod log too.
There have been very few permabans given here, and the vast majority happened in the first few days after this place went live.
A few users have earned 3-day-bans, but again, we don't delete their comments when that happens.
So yeah, whatever accounts you're referring to are deleting their comments themselves.
Also, no permabans have been issued in the last few weeks, I'm almost sure.
Ahh ok thanks for the clarification! The two I made this post about are deinstantiator and chr23128, but if they actually just deleted their accounts after a temp ban that’s unfortunate but on them I guess...
hm...yeah chr I gave a 3-day temp ban last night for some super sketchy rhetoric...but I only removed their one offending thread. It looks like they deleted their other stuff too? I'm sorry but that's sketchy and not indicative of someone here in good faith.
Also, no mod action was taken against deinstantiator, so whatever they did was self-inflicted!
I think you'll find that the users that appear legit who cycle through accounts and delete their histories are in fact, as the kids say, "mad sus".
yeah =/ I feel a bit badly but they were legit spouting race war rhetoric.
I’m saying out of 100 comments and posts by the user, one or possibly two crossed a line that shouldn’t be crossed in polite discourse, and we have since lost the other 98 useful contributions. You posted in his topic yesterday about “how many great resets have there been”
He had been commenting here since the first couple days of the forum with no issues as far as I could tell until a post last night. He posted OC almost exclusively and imo made this place better. Maybe you’re right about “banned” users with nothing to contribute but I guess I made this topic to delineate between users who should be banned and deleted and users who should have their one or two rule breaking comments removed with a warning/brief suspension if they keep it up, before progressing to a ban and delete.
/shrug
Which user? I issued a temp ban to someone last night...did they delete all of their comments?
Seems like it :\
Could be, still we lose the value of everything they wrote on their old account...
Seek inspiration; not information; otherwise you will continuously traumatize yourself through loss, and our parasites know this and utilize it aplenty.
