since it was apparently enough of an issue at the old place for people to dedicate their lives toward, i would like to preemptively point out that just because a user has a lot of fake internet points does not mean their opinion is any more valuable than anyone else's or has any value whatsoever. anyone who thinks that farming phuks (or votes) is a meaningful enterprise is an idiot. /drunkrant

the modlogs weren't as eye opening as i expected. the ban list is pretty extensive and doesn't give much in the way of reason so i guess you are referring to why you got banned which isn't recorded but there's only a couple excessive removals. i'm guessing silversurfers carried disagreements elsewhere into cheers because i don't know what else it could be.

That's what i meant.
Users are banned, and some comments/posts removed, due to feelings, not rule violations.

I am constantly amazed at how many people seem to think that is acceptable.
If it was upfront about what it was, i wouldn't have an issue. But combine that name with that behaviour and the result is unacceptable in my opinion.
