There was one, like back when Kirblar got demodded and then banned or so. They immediately locked it to outside viewers and I think it eventually broke up from infighting too.

We need the new posters! Think about it. Pull PoliEra here, get them comfortable, maybe invite more and more people, then sell the forum and make some cash. Think of your bank account, Benji.

Bdumbs finally figured out he should close the thread.

Pussies wouldn't be able to handle Nintex just like some other unnamed "progressives" who think the answer to everything is more cops. But that's none of my business...

What would a permanent ban with repercussions look like?

Shocked Pikachu

Shocked I am that infighting caused yet another PoliEra offshoot to break up. 

That would never happen to theboredotcom

I don't get it, that one dude writes a whole post about how important Nepenthe is and how much there is to learn from her. Then me and this other guy try to help spread more of Nepenthe's wisdom to people and suddenly it's a whole thing.

The people who run the Discord need to not be pussies and tell him to fuck off. You don't comply with the fucking cops.

While B-dubs is dealing with all this drama another mod asks the more important question.

Conjurer- someone that makes something with pure magic

Summoner- Someone that uses magic to bring something from another place

Doxxing has a specific definition and requires the inclusion of personal information. Someone finding a public twitter account where extreme anti-semitism was being posted while an admin on a site where anti-Semitic action isn’t treated that seriously is a major issue. No specific admins have even been confirmed let alone anything close to personally identifiable information. Staff’s actions at least do confirm the posts in question was and is a current staff member. Posts specifically about Jews needing to leave Israel and/or cede control of Israel to others.

It is predictable, but disappointing. And again, can’t forget that the very same off-site investigation is being used by staff to hunt down members as staff used to justify banning members who never posted anything from any place other than public twitter links.

I predict an early demise in this man’s future Putin

When the only tool in your chest is a banhammer, every problem starts to look like a PoliEra member.

When the only tool in your chest is a she-cock, every problem starts to look like a woman.

When the only tool in your chest is a swastika, every problem starts to look like a Jew.

Keep it going

That they always do the dumbest possible thing is sort of a given at this point, but given the 984 reasons they could have used to lock the PoliEra thread, B-Dubs chooses to go with "I'm locking this thread because we're super pissed about something people are doing offsite and people who 'belong to the discord of this community' may be involved." So now they're going to subpoena records from the discord mods or whatever to see if there's any punishment they can mete out locally.

This is the most cop shit to ever cop, and I hope the discord mods tell B-dubs to stuff it with his PMs. He can have access to their privileged communications when they get access to Era staff comms.

I don't even need to say it because you know it's guaranteed they'll be banned if they don't comply.

Edit: I just wish the same zeal was used in stamping out anti-semitism on this forum.

Holy shit and this morning I thought the tempo was slowing and things were dying down. Keep it up, staff. You're doing great.

B-Dubs wrote:A member of my staff's home was posted on a harassment site and your discord refuses to even try and clean house. To get rid of the most toxic shitlords who are driving this. Instead of that you sit there and justify doxxing and personal threats.

There's a response written up, policy changes all ready to go, fucking fault being admitted and apologies written. But instead now we have to deal with doxxing and targeted harassment.

Is this the discord getting clipped for the picture posted here?
