Many asked for a deletion, there was a small banning binge, and then there's Lord Invictus. There is a thread that lists the banned members with some of the reasoning.What's with all the Deleted Members?

One is Zoe's old account, the other is her alt Tyanna of Pentos and finally the last is Invictus.What's with all the Deleted Members?
One is Zoe's old account, the other is her alt Tyanna of Pentos and finally the last is Invictus.
No, those were the same people.I am pretty sure they were two different people

Yes.wait she was Tyanna of Pentos?
Yes.
If you want to know the story behind LI's ban and deletion, give me a PM. I can tell you the braodstrokes.
Yeah, Zoe was generally pretty nice. Zoe was also Punch Card Girl and Captain General.huh, she seemed nice.
LI was involved in a private discord that has some membership crossover with TS that kicked him for continual breaking of that Discord's rules. In a fit in the aftermath he began sending harssing PMs to staff members and calling out TS staff on his wall on a percieved conspiracy concerning his failed bid to purchase the site including revealing private correspondence between himself, Zoe, and other staff members. For this he was just given a temp ban. Upon receiving this temp ban he began to attempt to gather personal information about staff members up to and including spear phishing attempts against some, who were informed of the efforts by the organizations he contacted to attempt to gather information from. After further discussion and communication with law enforcement and the relevant staff members security officers from their places of employment, it was decided to elevate his ban to permanent.may I ask too? I know a little details but not much.

You can do a search, there is some discussion about mods having multiple accounts where that one is discussed.I remember her using Captain-General before using Tyanna of Pentos
Never heard of “Punch Card Girl”
Zoe was nice. Very ideosynchratic and we'll spoken. Even if you don't agree with Zoe, the debate was well worth having.huh, she seemed nice.
Tragic it might be, but she decided to go behind our back rather than being open about what she wanted, and I think we are all better off for her selling the forum.Zoe was nice. Very ideosynchratic and we'll spoken. Even if you don't agree with Zoe, the debate was well worth having.
That's why I think it's a tragedy that the schism happened.
That thread hasn't been updated since October, and most bans to that point weren't even announced in it.Many asked for a deletion, there was a small banning binge, and then there's Lord Invictus. There is a thread that lists the banned members with some of the reasoning.
The current thinking is to possibly make the Politics section 'Opt-In' by creating a separate user-group. You'd have to have at least 10 posts on the forum without any infractions, and by opting in you'll affirmatively agree that you've read and understand the TOS and civility guidelines, which will be firmly enforced. Violations of the civility rules will eventually earn you being booted from the user-group for periods of time up to permanent. Any discussion of current affairs/politics outside of the user group would be grounds for banning from the forum.

Honestly, my hope is that as we grow as a community that the politics section dwindles in importance. We have some good writers who are starting to post things in Creative Writing, we have artists, we have community threads that have nothing to do with politics, we have quests and story debates and vrs sections and fandom sections. I'd like to see the focus become that, with politics something we do when we're bored of the rest.
When promoting the site I intend to push the non-political areas first and foremost. This doesn't mean that I'm going to ignore politics and current affairs, just I want it to be second fiddle.
The irony here is that as far as I know, most of the mods here only have one account. Spartan, LTR, Tippy, S'task, and most of the old SB mods only use one account here to my knowledge. Only Zoe and a few of her friends like Comet used alt accounts to any major extent.To be honest, this "multiple accounts" thing seems like a bad idea to me. Would be better if mods just used one account, and don't moderate the threads they posted in.
