If we see junk going down that looks like it needs attention, we handle it. Can we see everything? Nope. Does every infraction need a sledgehammer? Nope, never has.
I'm still asking your opinion, in my prior comment: "Should I have banned PuttItQut??" Would this have been "more equal"?

If a user does that they should get a temporary ban as a warning. If they do it again they should get a permanent ban.
We are in agreement with this philosophy, and it's generally how we operate. However, when there's obvious malice, sometimes the only option is to excise the hemorrhoid, in keeping with our little theme today.
Did you know that gabara was warned about vote manipulation before he was banned? He was.
Did you know that the user banned that started this particular conversation, incellivision, was gabara because we did not block his IP? He was.
Did you see that gabara/incell was doing pure copy pasta of the same text over and over in chat in a defiant effort to make chat unusable? He was.
It was a dick move and that incell/gabara account EARNED that ban.
Dial and PuttItQut did shit up the chat a little, I saw both of them, but they at least varied their content a little and there was no wall-of-text created like incellivision's shit.
And creating accounts to pull stunts in an effort to get someone else banned because "equality!!1!" and "non-selective enforcement of rules!1!" is pure malice. Fuck You No Quarter.
It's ironic that you folks and Dial are trying to accomplish the exact same thing here - keeping the site, the concept of a free-speech platform, alive. Sometimes he goes off-kilter but some in your gang do too. We're all on the same team here!
We try to be mindful of the nature of the crap that gets flung at the walls and we let a mega ton of shit slide, Blu. Sometimes we warn, sometimes we don't. If there's malice and/or junk that will potentially destroy the site, we don't have time for hand holding in this day and age with the social and political climate as it is. It's gone. And if you can't agree with that then I'm not sure we have anything more to discuss.
LOL, I thought on this site Dial was a joke monster myth from old Voat (I knew he was real back then) that everyone accuses each other of being. I guess I'm not on here enough to keep up with ... The Days of our Lives.
There is a difference between spamming the same chunk of text and frequently submitting different text. The later is harder to classify as spam but it definitely can be. And I did warn dial to cool it, he did.
