It took 3 hours from Evspra's inital 'a look into post' to him declaring the George News ban. Some of his research seemed solid at first glance, some of it not as solid. There wasn't much time for anons to 'check his work'(aka research and provide counter-points to ensure his conclusion was super solid) and no real discussion("errmeerrgawd I feel so betrayed by George" isn't discussion) before he took it upon himself to declare the ban on links to George.
What's more are the insane amount of accounts that dogpiled George and anyone else who pointed out the oddity of Evspra's actions, or even the actions of everyone doing the dogpiling. Pointing out odd behavior in our community or trying to add some rational thoughts shouldn't be met with downvotes or gnashing teeth. Another oddity for me is how he and many accounts claim that they were insta-banned from George's chat the moment they posted something about the dvids site, yet I literally quoted a line the Evspra told us to quote and pasted it in the George chat and have not been banned.
Following Evspra's departure, many accounts are all like "my mod god is gone~~" or "Evspra if you can see this come back~~~". Many of these accounts keep puffing up Evspra like he's some kind of .win messiah. What's interesting to me is how despite seeing comments like this, the guy never put down that personality cult type of talk. Even this post leads into this. Didn't Q tell us not to worship him? Why would we do such a thing for a mod?
FOR THE RECORD, I've been doing some digging on George News. They've deleted the majority of the messages from the past few days, which is very suspicious. They have no contact info, liaison, or point of contact if you want to reach them. I've emailed the address they have in their shop to see if they can point me to a point of contact, and their response is basically 'contact them directly'. Kind of shady.
Agreed. Many folks who've only started using sites like this recently probably aren't familiar with shill tactics. Forum sliding, sleeper accounts, multiple accounts, ect ect. It's worthwhile to remind everyone that if we have a digital army then THEY have one too.
One thing I’ll add/clarify, GN has their comments set on telegram to auto delete after 24 hours, which explains their disappearance. Some have been manually removed, for sure, but others just expired.
Something was not right with this whole deal. I can’t put my finger on it but that just my gut. In the end we lost a good mod.

demonite10 -- if the whole stinking mess wasn't a shillpack in action, I'll eat my hat.
