Note: the OP of the thread (and guy who runs the linked website, arete) is known to provide cover for prolific shills/incite inter-community conflicts. His site has been accused of providing browser fingerprints to would be doxxers as well.
Edit: he has also admitted to reading private messages and using their contents to assist a massive shill in continuing his shilling operation.
Oh yeah, and another thing. Elvis banned a proven shill for, among other offenses, sockpuppeting, vote manipulation, astroturfing, and support of pedophilia - he then accepts an undisclosed amount of money from this shill, unbans him, and proceeds to protect him for the next year+, even overturning multiple bans of this user by other, less subverted moderators until they quit in protest.

Just a word of warning
Nice edit. However, you have been caught lying once again.

The amount donated to Arete's bitcoin address was only around $70 at the time, nor was it undisclosed. He publicly said it.
As for those bans: I have undone those because all were lacking proper justification.
ZC banned him for violent posts on a new account (rule 3)
I'm not sure what Blerg's reason was, but later he got along with him pretty well. I did find this however:
He didn't know whether it was him or Basedhomesteader (who was ban evading).
Hmm so you over ruled your moderators in order to allow a shill to keep shilling? Odd
Someone I trust far more than you on the matter stated that Blerg explicitly told them he quit because of you constantly protecting fagsurgent
