"Ban evasion" tends to be repeating the same things that led to the previous ban or, in DayOfDoom's case, referencing past DM harassment. We discuss any ban before it happens and consideration is always given to members of the community.
Oh dang, if he was harassing people in the DMs then yeah, he's gotta go. I guess I will leave this thread up though so folks can see your response here so folks know what's up.
That does actually suck, had funny posts. Rip, their DayofDoom came.
Where did they reference past DM harassment? Was it their comment in the general thread (around 8 hours ago)?

There was a user who was specifically banned for doing this, and has continued to make alts after saying he would never stop making alts and we won't be able to find all the alts.
and some people wondered why kristina's survey didn't have any cis women responding
Unfortunately DoD's comment wasn't reported as I'm sure most thought it was a joke but after getting community banned we reviewed all the accounts comments and came across that one prompting the siteban
yeah i definitely assumed everyone would understand that hexbear isn't a dating site, and that no one would earnestly do in real life an over the top parody of hapless nerd characters in an old teen movie.
IDK comrade, I'm pretty sure I'm gay married to some variety of owl or cool dog at this point. Possibly a hamster or ferret? Or, UGH, a CANADIAN. It gets very complicated down here in the trenches.
Owls. Multiple. You are married to all of us owls.
we did actually get 5, which means we have around 15-50ish people each week that are cis women. in my sample we only had 1 (because the site for some reason only returns 300 results) but in the API there were 5 respondents
based on other surveys i've dug up on other instances we probably have most of lemmy's cis women, and blahaj has the rest. still a very small number that needs to be worked on
That's not a bit?? At least not completely?
Wtf
MFW I'm not enough of a "confirmed" woman to get DM-harassed by the lonely cis guy on the dating-app-to-incel treadmill
I'm annoyed that I didn't get one
i think i actually did once now that i think about it. immediately got banned. guess he learned
Classic lesson. Don’t bite the hand that polices your love terrorism vest detonations
I got some weird DMs from chuds that stumbled onto Chapo.chat a few years ago, think it was homophobic stuff.
Oh and some idiot DMed me saying that I was "pretending to be black". Even though I've always been open that I'm a
ikr! Like, I guess my profile does say that I'm married, but come on, I still want to feel wanted! 😂
(jk of course, harassment is never fun, but joking about it has helped me deal with it and feel some control as a smol person)
Wait that wasn't a bit
transitioning just to have funny shit like this happen to me
Would still be a good tagline for the site banner.
I got one a while ago I think
He missed me!
i remember this "bit" and i found the "bit" really funny at the time
Holy shit what I saw that post and thought for sure that was just another weird DayOfDoom bit.
@[email protected] I can't wrap my head around this not being a joke but I also know a guy who acts like this, not only with every woman he can find, but with JOB INTERVIEWERS. And he has a job?! He should be worried about tanking his reputation in the industry. It really bothers me even though I met him online and I accept that never comes with a full story or closure. Anyways, I think that may be serious. May God have mercy upon him at the Day of Doom.
What user was banned doing this initially?
