GAW was forced to ban several of long-time contributors over the past few days after some extremely unacceptable behaviour both on the site and in modmail. What happened? These users were warned, asking them to tone it down, get re-focused a bit (maybe go camping?), etc., but instead the behaviour only got worse, and, finally, becoming very concerning. Rather than sit out their vacations and re-focus, the users decided opted for the nuclear option.
We HATE banning good users! Especially permanently! Everyone should be having fun here. But.
We will ban insane behaviour like this, all day, every day, equally, any user, it doesn't matter. This kind of crazy, insane behaviour (doxing, threats, posts on other WINs, etc.) towards GAW's mods, our users, posts, comments, or abuse in modmail, will not be tolerated.
These users are now PM'ing various users here, and these conversations are now filtering up to the mod team. Feel free to reply if you want, etc., but, if you choose to engage, you'll quickly see this same immature behaviour from them as they will quickly demonstrate why they were banned.
GAW will continue to have one of the best online communities around. The entire mod team remains committed to keeping GAW focused on Q, focused on solid, quality discussion, and keeping us ready for The Storm. Thank you!
EDIT: Here are some answers to some questions we're getting asked.
Why can't the mod team do anything about this contact? Apologies, we aren't able to control how the .WINs work, and we're sorry many of you were forced to deal with this unfortunate situation.
How does GAW run? Other than the 100% volunteer mod team, basically, several years ago, we were lucky enough to get invited to run on the same digital infrastructure that The_Donald.WIN (now Patriots.WIN, of course) ran on. Why? Because Q was part of the movement, but they wanted us annoying (LEL 😎) "Q believers" to have their own space so that regular patriots could have the option to participate or not. The mods have no access to the codebase. We found ways to add our own feel here (pepes, colours, etc.), but we don't have the ability to shadowban, or otherwise hassle anyone, anywhere. We can only control user access, sticky posts, and remove harmful comments.
No sense in dwelling on who, but I will say some of them were true disappointments. Perhaps you are correct that they were sleepers all along…
The mission of the board is what matters most!
100% correct...
I didn't read what happened, but I've thought that before about some users - that they are sleepers.
Without question some are...
I'll admit I am curious about who the offenders were, just to know if my radar was correct.
I do not know. I think I can spot these people by the way they write, there's always an underlying bias. I could be wrong though.
There are people who show up, and ingratiate themselves into the group, seem to be seeking, seem normal, suddenly they are authorities, then they drive their narrative. I can think of several now.
Welp, guess I'm not one of the longtime good users, since I didn't know any of this was happening, and nobody is PMing me. Unless it's that damn winter vagina again.
Dont forget that the Painful Pecker syndrome could be making another appearance also. 😆

Time's is tuff, man
Lol same dingy here fren.
Long time unadmirable anon checking in 😆
What did they say or do? Deetz please.
We're going to keep the details where they belong, sorry. It's actually all rather boring, and it's sad watching someone slowly "lose it" and take themselves out. It's actually very depressing to watch. We really HATE it when we lose good users. Thanks for understanding, frog.
Respect
Respect to that, Cats. It must be hard to refrain from sharing with us, as it's human nature to be curious and to want one's curiosity satisfied.
Details provide transparency though, and help show your wisdom and encourage trust in the process. Sad to see things happening on this front. Thanks mod team for all that you do.
I can name one guy who has 20 different accounts, and another with at least ten.
You probably know the latter, his accounts are mostly common four-letter words, posting long vertical crap with tons of image links.
I'm sure both are seething on ConPro right now.
I must be the most unobservant person in the world because I'm here all the time and I have no idea who you mean, lol.
Funny you should mention this because either yesterday or the day before, I checked on how long ago a particular poster had registered because their post definitely wasn’t Q or POTUS friendly. Was surprised to see the registration was from 2 years ago! My first thought was planted shill.

I only see two noteworthy anons in the ban mix. Might be overlooking something tho, im at work.
I see the same. Of the 2 long-term users banned, only one ban is permanent. The other is a 30 day ban.
The other bans from this week all seem to be drive-by handshake accounts.
