Thanks for letting us know. By January 21st our site should be called the Rebel Alliance 😲

So, I must confess that my dissatisfaction with the Sietch is growing the longer the politics section remains closed. I understand that there are issues with the transition and we should all try to be patient, but patience must also have its limits. Our nation is in the midst of a coup and all...

I understand that there are issues with transition and I think we should cut everyone some slack regarding that. But, keep in mind that the politics subforum is still closed. Closed during some of the most important political events of our generation, on a forum that formed primarily as a place...

You can do a search, there is some discussion about mods having multiple accounts where that one is discussed.

Yeah, Zoe was generally pretty nice. Zoe was also Punch Card Girl and Captain General.

Yes.

As GoldRanger said, considering the fact that Zoe actually said that she was trying to kill the forum, the permanent bans that happened as a result of those polices should be assumed to be unjust. Not reversing them would be condoning the attempts to sabotage the Sietch, it would set a very bad...

Well, it’s obviously pretty bad. I can’t blame all of the moderators here, in fact I know some of them and they’re good. If I owned the Sietch, I would do things a bit differently than Zoe did, that goes without saying. Probably different from the Boot too, but I’m willing to give him the...

That might include a lot of the current staff, in fact you might say that anybody who was staff under her was affiliated with her to some degree. So I wouldn’t quite go that far, but I do think it would only be fair and just to reverse all permanent bans. She said the following:

Were people here banned for “tearing into someone” or was the ban more ideological in nature? I think it’s more often been the later. Zoe even said her moderation policies for the past several months were intended to kill the forum. That statement alone justified a blanket amnesty.

I agree with this, I strongly support a blanket amnesty as well. Not only on principle but also because we have lost a number of interesting posters.

I didn’t recognize the name Jha’dur, but after reading her description I remembered the episode she was in. I think it was one of the first episodes of the series and I remember it pissing me off with how they ended it. Jha’dur was this mass murdering scientist who, from experimenting on...

World building is cool, but considering we have a problem with too few posters, I would advocate for as few sub-forums as possible. We need to make it easy for people to see posts that they might like and for people’s threads to be seen. I would want sub-forums to, for example, allow a place...

So, maybe we have can have a strong dedication to freedom of speech, but we combine that with a focus on a NSFW section or something similar where only people who have proven themselves to some degree can go to discuss more controversial topics in a more open sort of way. Personally, I would...

Guys, let's not let this turn into a personal battle between Lord Invictus and Harlock. This a thread for the future, so let's try to put negativity behind us and talk about what we hope to see here in the months to come. As LI has said, he wants to wait a few months to make any decisions and I...

Hey, I like you Lord Invictus. I really do, every post you make is interesting to read. Sometimes I disagree with you, sometimes I agree, usually it’s a combination of both. You have a world view that we don’t see every day on most forums or most ideological discussions and I feel like it’s one...

I said until recently. You're right though, I thoroughly disapprove of that. I make reference to that in my above post, but I didn't want to go into too much detail because of Boot's requests about not dwelling on the past. As per Boot's request, let me speak about how I would do things here...

Well, the truth of the matter is that we are refugees from SB. If the PM hadn’t both been discovered and the members unfairly maligned, vilified, and/or punished then there likely would be no Sietch. That doesn’t mean that we should allow that event to thoroughly dominate the nature of the...

Something I would like to see is more non-political activity here. It’s great that this is a place for right-leaning geeks to talk politics, but I think it would also be nice if there were just as much discussion about movies, games, sci-fi, fantasy, etc. For some of of larger sister sites...

I watched those threads and I didn’t notice anything so “toxic” as what you describe. There may have been questionable claims in that thread, links to questionable sources, but that is the world we live in. We have left wing propaganda and anything that isn’t that is a conspiracy theory. I’m...
