Oh, so it wasn't for the (((T)))-word? So it would be fine if I found out someone else's real life name and started posting it as long as I wasn't """obsessed""" and wasn't expressly forbidden from using that particular name? Or would that actually go against Codex rules and get me banned? Which is it?

People can and have knocked themselves out calling felipepe Felipe or Jason Liang Jason or David Cernat David and so on. If the rabblerousers had self-control I'm sure they could have eventually gone back or will possibly be able to occasionally refer to Infinitron by his first name again. For some reason they think it's solely about the name (something no one has even been punished for in all the years he's been referred to by his name) and not the recent pattern of behavior around it.
Firstly, using a portion of someone's username that also happens to be their actual first name (which I'm taking your word for here, I didn't check) is not comparable to using someone's real life first name which they did not publish. Secondly, the "pattern of behavior" surrounding it? You can make a case that Kalin is """obsessed""" but I don't think any of the others using the (((T)))-word exhibited any pattern of behavior other than exercise of freedom of speech. If they were banned because they violated a specific prohibition, fine; but why, then, was that prohibition instated if not because of the broader rule regarding private information? Is not the rule against sharing private details the primary reason that users were told not to use the (((T)))-word? If it wasn't, then the prohibition against the (((T)))-word is completely arbitrary.

Ahhh another muh freedom idiot without any connection to the real world....oh well.
Companies, publications and even websites usually have to obey the laws of specific countries they are incorporated in, based out of or operate within. They don't have to obey jurisdictions outside of it, for instance answer Bulgarian legal requests about you. I'm sure you've posted plenty of shit that might be considered illegal in various shithole countries and jurisdictions across the world, from the People's Republic of China, the Islamic Republic of Iran or the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia or wherever, and they could/might even inquire or send requests about you as an user of various Social media sites or Web forums. But they have no legal jurisdiction or standing to receive a reply, or for it to be anything else than "Fuck off."

They were being bothersome pests so they're getting a time-out.

Just remove the shoutbox. The regulars will move to Discord. Problem solved.
And give them more leeway to hide this kind of shit from us?
Simply put? I don't give a fuck. I know that they have my data. They wanna doxx me? There aint shit I can do about it.
Only losers don't have anything to lose by having their info leaked. Stop being a loser and get yourself a VPN when you have started winning.
Or, you know, I stand for what I type. I don't come here and try to act like an edgelord.
I'm too lazy to go through your posts so this will have to do for now. 3 second search and I can tell you're a racist and into angry gay sex. Invest in a VPN or someone might tell your mom what you're into.

I'm worse irl. I restrain myself here.
This is exactly why you need to treat yourself to a VPN subscription my man. You wouldn't need to restrain yourself and could go all out with whatever it is you are into. Your wife would never know.

And there you have it. The banning of the (((T)))-word was, in fact, completely arbitrary and had nothing at all to do with the private information rule. Thusly we can expect the admin forum to continue doxxing whomever they please and in turn we are similarly liberated, provided we do not become """bothersome pests""" or """obsessed""".

"This guy's such a nazi that antifa have compiled a dossier on him" is useful knowledge for a site's administration to have.
Useful for what?
Keeping an eye on in case of problems later on down the line.
How? You can't predict they will break the site rules, and if they do you can only warn/ban them as soon as someone reports it anyway. I get that pestering Infinitron beyond the usual shitflinging is what caused the temporary bans in the first place, but this is just strange. Getting rpg.net vibes here.

It's like Kalin says, the (((naming))) is a pretext and the real "problem" is raising awareness of kike poz

WhiteShark, what's the point of scrutinizing the rules to determine which point was violated if you keep ignoring the ones that clearly apply to this specific case?

Complaints: If you have a complaint you wish to make against a Moderator because they're being too much of a Nazi moving threads or they Retardo'd your post or whatever, feel free to raise your issue with the Administrators either directly via conversation or publicly via a thread in Site Feedback. Please be advised that if it seems you're being a miserable shitcock about it, we may just ban you instead. As a word of advice, if you are serious about your issue, start a conversation and if you don't really care what happens, post in Site Feedback.

I fail to see how anyone involved in the (((T)))-word bans was being a "miserable shitcock" aside from arguably Kalin.
edit: should have said "banned for" not "involved in"

tron posted that link in 2019 and in the two years since, nothing ever happened to him (until he decided to fall on his sword over the name game). With a forum with so many users, it's still beneficial to know who the potential-problem posters are even if they never do anything (as opposed to being completely out of touch and even that happens).

Did it go over your head when I said he's a real nazi, as in officially affiliated with an ethnonationalist group and takes pictures of himself wearing swastikas?

It's no surprise that an autistic fuck has no concept of being a free speech absolutist.

I think all extremists who support violent ideologies should be on a list of "potential-problem posters" but not banned unless they break rules.
Can't wait for the codex to ask to borrow facebook's AI to determine which posters are potential extremists!

All political ideologies are potentially violent. They require violence to enforce their values and become the dominant mode of thought. What's considered centrism now would have been violently revolutionary a couple of centuries ago.
