Infected RationalWiki - Whiny hugbox for spergs and a clusterfuck of neverending drama on a rapidly declining website.

He should have followed the same advice about circumcision.

I decided to string together all the circumstantial evidence together, and Gerard and his cronies look really, really bad right now, assuming the theory Geth proposed for how he could be banned without anything on the official logs on Reddit is true.

If true, it probably looked like a good way for Gerard et al to get rid of editors they knew they get shit on for simply permabanning by outside forces, and inside, since RationalWiki has always prided itself on making banning an absolute last resort and none of the accounts shadowbanned by having their accounts tampered with were breaking any known RW rules, at least not any worth the worst possible option.

From the perspective of someone in that box, simply scrambling the passwords of the accounts they really wanted to get rid of then banning their IPs at a server level would be the best option, since it would leave no public log entries, no one could ever prove it unless they could examine the database itself, and the only ones with database access obviously have every reason both personal and legal to not simply hand that information over, and they know no one is going to try suing them over this or anything that extreme, not to mention with no logs of a block, they can simply blame user incompetence with passwords and give a boilerplate "did you get X error message".

The only downside is that this has now put a cloud of suspicion over Gerard and anyone involved, which will only get heavier if those accounts never can be re-accessed and especially if Ryulong gets free run of the asylum soon, but I assume, on the line this is true, that Gerard et al figured it was worth the risk to have that suspicion instead of public logs for banning they'd need to explain instead, given all the internal and external backlash that they would get.
 
sue them over what?
getting banned from an internet site???

:story:

Never underestimate how butthurt spastics can get. Shit, you're from ED, I shouldn't have to explain this to you.

I doubt Geth will do that, he acts like he expected it, don't know enough about the others involved to give an opinion, severely doubt it, but just covering all the bases here.

Again, you're from ED, how many retards does ED cover who try to threaten lolsuits over even lamer shit?
 
*Asterisk* being a RW sperg is one of those things that I didn't know but doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

I honestly don't get the appeal of RationalWiki, sure it's a wiki with a large userbase & it's a place for SJWs but from what I've observed, every edit becomes a massive fight that doesn't stop. It looks like a really tedious place to be.

It is basically Something Awful in a Wiki form -- smug as hell; full of infightings; welcoming to pedophiles -- with the benefit that it doesn't charge you ten bucks.

Except that SA will ban you for using the wrong meme, and RW is so completely anti-ban that their cuckold mods have to fiddle with the site's backend to sneakily remove people who trigger them.
 
In other news, RationalWiki needs no outside help to fuel their paranoid streak.

That is some crazy. Theroad made a What is going on? thing about Kuwaiti Airlines refusing Israelis per Kuwaiti law, Mona spills her spaghetti and asks him if her archnemesis Avengerofthe BoNs has hacked his account. Theroad blocked Mona and said he was Avenger as a joke.

05:13, 19 December 2015 TheroadtoWiganPier (Talk | contribs) blocked -Mona- (Talk | contribs) with an expiry time of 0×π seconds (account creation disabled) (I am Avenger.. thought you knew that already.)

Mona proceeded to go ballistic, believing him that he was Avenger and thought that email correspondence she had with Theroad was Avenger trying to toy with her. She desysopped him and put him in the Vandal Bin.

So. This User account emailed me a few months ago as if I was talking to a supporter. But, you are actually Avenger, is that right? What, did you think I was going to reveal horrible things about myself? pffft.---Mona- (talk) 05:35, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Geez, that was a joke you humourless person! Of course I am not bloody Avenger. Have a look at my contribution and see if there is Anything that indicates that. And unbin me now please. I can't believe you did that and via previous mistakes thought you had learned your lesson on misuse of tools here. If anyone else reads this before Mona please bloody unbin me. --TheroadtoWiganPier (talk) 05:48, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Please. You said you are Avenger. Immediately after posting a very Avenger WIGO that was being downvoted. The "shit" I did I would do to any account who is Avenger trying to get around his binning. He's unhinged and it would not surprise me at all if he had another neutral account to carry one with after the Avenger one was de-commisioned. At any rate, you told a "joke" that was easy to take seriously under the circumstances. Moreover, and as you note, we've exchanged quite a bit of email. All you had to do was take that route again.---Mona- (talk) 06:10, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Theroad ends up at the Saloon bar to ask for help, Mona is completely unrepentant.

Please stop single-handedly changing users' rights. Peace. AgingHippie (talk) 06:11, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

AH, he said he was Avenger. Avenger is binned and de-mopped.---Mona- (talk) 06:14, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Relax. So what? Who cares.Stop feeding drama. Let the guy edit. Nobody is on afire as a result. Peace. AgingHippie (talk) 06:15, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Fine, but I don't merit these admonishments.---Mona- (talk) 06:18, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

You do. Don't remove user rights. Tielec01 (talk) 06:40, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

No, I do not. Avenger has had his rights removed. That account said it was Avenger.---Mona- (talk) 06:42, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Oh, so two people who cannot stand me want me to consider my "Internet cop" actions, when many others would do the same thing about a sock account of a binned user. This person SAID he was Avenger. I wasn't hallucinating it. He said that after posting a very uncharacteristic WIGO that is VERY Avenger. So, all this lampooning about all the other Avengers is bullshit. Those other accounts have not directly told me they are Avenger after posting Avenger material. ---Mona- (talk) 14:38, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
