"We're not taking donation" / 10
banning GeorgeNews from GAW was definitely the best call.
Freaking smelly techsupport scammers are jacking your money.
Eh, they're doing remote access tech support work now?
They never said they wouldn't take donations. They've discouraged their viewers from making donations in the past. Now, well, who's gonna stop a donor from donating and a buyer from buying merch? They damn well decide what they want to do with their own dollars, and we're not tyrants to decide for them.
And GN isn't banned from GAW. That ban no longer had any effect as soon as the mod resigned, but the damage that the ban caused was truly devastating.
If you're gonna insult someone, at least insult them with the truth.
No, they were devastating. A good mod should have been sensitive to the enormous influence that their opinion carries and the risk of splitting his own community into polarized camps. This mod, being inexperienced with those nuances, developed a messianic complex to save us from "predatory paytriots" and dictated our opinion "for our own good". Users found their ability to discuss GN suddenly stifled, and many users left this community specifically because of this unilateral censorship action.
While he was a proficient mod and site dev, I firmly disagree that Evspra was "best mod" at all for these actions and others that he showed during this episode. Mod Ness gave perhaps the best perspective overall on this here (permalink to comment: skip the very long OP which is mine).

I'll leave it at that, because I really don't want to keep on digging up the past over and over again.
