We're all family here and every family has its moments.

Sometimes everyone just needs to take a time out and chill.

It's all good.

Thank you for not trashing Evspra. He seems like a good person.

I will refrain from opining on things I don't know about, but will whole heartedly agree that going overboard with flair is not good for all the reasons listed. Love my tinfoil pepe, but agree with OP, some threshold should be crossed to earn. I don't much care for the little messages, those should be for mods only IMO.

There is a fine line between shill crushing and censorship, and it has been crossed more than I'd like to see. I am in favor of letting the Anons use their down votes to self regulate. I want down votes with styling on if my opinion matters for anything. Sidebar rules are enough, mods start enforcing opinion rules I get riled. "Low energy" for example is too fucking arbitrary. It's the little things that sway the tide in a battle for hearts and minds. Censorship is never a good look, nor are mods who talk down, belittle, and insult. To be honest I'd prefer a board where I hardly notice mods even exist.

Normie friendly isn't a driving concept in my life, but it isn't my board. Hope you all get it worked out. Infighting sucks to see.

Good comment. I appreciate how hard it must be when shills attack to moderate this board and have no complaints on this score. I do have a problem with censorship. Information is information and believe it's up to the individual to discern it's validity or not. Isn't that what we are fighting for - free speech.
I do like my emoji I have to say - thanks Evspra.

I did not agree with him banning links like he did and I did not like his responses to me when I called him out on it. Pretty daggone immature.

It seems like he was a plant, sent to make users like him by jazzing up their flair then he started burning books.

Let the people decide what links they want to read and share, it’s not up to him, on a free speech site.

This post is pure mod PR. “Social engineering” is all that goes on in here now... and ya’ll let it happen... the same bullshit that happened in TDW is now here!! I for one do not trust the “new” moderators - again, just like TDW after January 6th!

This is a good post. Evspra was well intended and helped to wake a lot of people up. I was very critical when he left. NCSWIS. It’s a hellish journey. All the good guys will reunite at the end of the movie. Be well Evspra and God bless

Being a conscientious mod can be heavy going at times. Who knows what else was going on in his life that caused the overload and exit. Wish him all the best and hope he's not gone for good.

Even family have their quarrels.

Thank you. While I agree there should be some "policing" of the site considering the shills that "we" as a community suffer on a day-to-day basis is warranted, most of us found this site once we started getting censored by the left because of our ideas. Once this site "Certain mods" decided to censor those ideas as "Conspiracy" or "We are just spreading disinformation" It no longer felt like a community for sharing "free-thinking" thoughts/ideas. I actually left for like a week because of these issues. I come back and now was told sharing any positive message from George news would get me banned I felt betrayed by the very community I support 100%. People are capable of critical thinking and deciding for themselves whether or not to believe something. If they are unsure, it's not like they can't ask someone. Thank you for promoting a community of ideas and discussion.

I think of this place as One big family. AND - George got to a heated topic and just overflowed from there. The overall tone of this from the Mods to the comments from us in here feels right. AND even with Families...sometimes some STEAM needs to be bled off. At the end of the day we are all pretty much here on the same page. Thanks Speakeasy and catsfive for your take, and comments.

I've been on tdw since the start, Reddit TD and DTS as well, so I hope I don't lose my flair because I am definitely not a shill

Thanks to all the mods currently serving. Let's keep doing what we do best and not arguing

Can a deleted account be restored?

I second support for not getting too myspace with the flair.

Maybe Espra is making a point? Do one thing and get back to life. Give the baton to someone else. Even if he moved onto somewhere else on the net, he did something here and that data center fire sure is close time wise.

While I support Evspra in many of their actions recently, I also agree with much of this. If the time ever comes that I leave this community, I won't be making a big drama about it, because I want this community to flourish and sowing dissent can only be harmful.

Regarding name styling, again I agree with this perspective even though I really really like mine. Possible compromise is that after a certain number of updoots you can earn it?

Don’t talk about them trails

Fantastic post, Fren! Very much echoes a lot of the sentiments I had.

This sounds likes a huge LARP ala the Ping Ping shooting.

Maybe someone that emotional isn’t a good candidate for the moderation.

The reminder that flat earth posts had nothing to do with Q, should be posted in conspiracies.win, and that the rule would be enforced by banning made the red line perfectly clear.

What's your problem with that, OP?

And the rules served to keep a lot of the crap out. If you're going to lighten them now, it will be like when Sleepy Joe made his announcements on immigration policy.

The non-shills figure it out even if they have to burn a few accounts in the process.

Evspra’s not here, she did not give us her new username and yet, here you are making a post, giving us that information and then dealing with issues with her directly on the public board. Whether you’re right or wrong does not change the fact that this says more of you than of her. Remember we don’t know why she left, she didn’t say and we don’t know what happened between the mods.

Why the hell is this stickied? Honestly fuckoff
