Bigot Brigade Something Awful and Friends - The roller-coaster train-wreck embarrassing downfall of a Web 1.0 giant and its tick offspring like from Cloverfield

They should have closed the Fuck Off Lowtax thread in GBS while they had the chance. People are getting angry again about Burt not being banned.

So why are they asking to ban him this time? Is it for any of the actual stuff he does or just some fag shit they cooked up because he said a no-no word?

They've been wanting him permabanned for months because of his role in covering up for Lowtax. He was the one who was banning people for posting evidence that Lowtax wasn't telling the truth about Ashli "kidnapping" Sloane and who was disappearing the evidence.

The forums store is currently down, but supposed to be back up any day now. When it does, Jeffrey's obviously going to encourage goons to buy avatars extra hard to own Lowtax. Make it the most profitable month in the forum's history. Maybe add some new paid trinket, like custom gang tags. Goons love flair, the craziest ones most of all.

Remember, Lowtax's Patreon was at like $15k at its peak. Anyone who knows goons realizes that giving double that amount to Jeffrey would feel like goon justice to them. And Jeffrey has already been planting the seeds by saying stuff like "all the money from now on will be going to the forums, as it always should have been."

The fact that some retarded mutiny already started up and potentially spoiled that triumphant plan is just too funny.

Jeff always needed to take a side and just go scorched earth on the others. Either pick the troons or FYAD and drive the other faction off the site with mass bannings and open antagonism. Obviously it would be more sensible to pick FYAD because they don't engage in purity spirals or have an unquenchable sense of grievance that would turn SA into ResetEra. But the worst thing he could do is try to accommodate them both, because he would be presiding over a perpetual civil war that both sides want to drag him into. So naturally he chose that last option, because Lowtax at least used to have a spine, Jeff never did.

Agreed. Both sides are full of faggot divas who demand they be catered to. Lowtax used to side with FYAD and the trannies knew the pecking order. However the trannies got favored eventually because they gave Lowtax more money; it’s the trannies that buy red text captions, changing avatars, and the girlcock-friendly mods were more likely to ban so you got more reregs, more dopes buying the platinum upgrade, etc.

Jeffrey was expecting adoration and ass kissing. Instead goons are all but demanding he leave in less than 10 days of ownership. Jeffrey’s reign is lucky to last a month at this point.

Every faggot goon has ":'( omg ban all the goons and behaviours I don't like" as step 1 of their 10 point plan, despite the ban-heavy culture being precisely what fucked SA in the first place. A never ending spiral where goons, seeking that endorphin hit from getting a Posting Enemy banned, shuffle the goalposts in increasingly dumb directions so they can have infinite purges and convince themselves they've Struck A Blow.

The actual sensible response would be not to ban anyone. Have a few basic rules - no spam, no doxx, keep it work safe, maybe ban a few big slurs - and make them clear and objective. Goons'll kvetch and moan about SUPPORTING THE NAZIS but they will never ever leave. The ensuing slapfight would translate directly into cash as they started buying passive-aggressive avatars for each other.

Not banning anyone would in effect be taking FYAD's side though. It's the troons who want to keep the ban-heavy culture so that it can be wielded against their enemies. Bunch of unfunny faggots that they are, I never got the impression that FYAD wanted any purges, they just wanted to be able to shitpost and say naughty words without getting their subforum deleted and called Nazis all the time. Simply refusing to do anything about it and ignoring the screeching would be enough to drive the troons from the side, especially if a few bans were handed out to the ones who cross the line.

I think that turning SA into a Thunderdrome would be hilarious, but short-lived. The open warfare has driven most sane people from the site. The gangrene is now so bad that a limb needs to amputated, if saving SA as a long-term prospect is your goal. Obviously that's not KF's goal, but if Jeff really wants to keep SA around in the long term he needs to set a direction and stick to it, and that means shedding at least one faction of extremists that are poisoning the community.

I can't believe we don't even know his real name. This isn't even a doxing thing - I just think that even goons should know who owns the website they spend their entire life on. Just having to say the words "Jeffrey of YOSPOS" like it's a real person is retarded.
