Is this another instance of the mod log not telling the whole story? Anytime I see a recognized poster perm banned for anything other than being completely heinous I have to scratch my head a little. Making a bad post and then ban evading doesn't feel like it should warrant a "never come back" kind of response. This is just one example, I've seen it before with others too and have always gone "huh, really?" But maybe there was something they did that was so bad it was purged / doesn't show in the mod log.

Anyway RIP DayOfDoom we'll miss your weird ass posts. Unless you did something bad that the modlog doesn't show in which case I'll just delete this whole thread.

"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.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago

Where did they reference past DM harassment? Was it their comment in the general thread (around 8 hours ago)?

https://hexbear.net/comment/4760474

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

[-] [email protected] 34 points 5 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 27 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

Owls. Multiple. You are married to all of us owls.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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

[-] [email protected] 31 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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 degrence

[-] [email protected] 29 points 5 months ago

I tried publicly messaging dating proposals (on both knees, as per tradition) to every confirmed woman on Hexbear. Didn't work. Did the same for every non-confirmed woman or user with feminine-sounding user name. Didn't work. Tried making a sockpuppet account that I'd use as a "is this man bothering you ma'am" ploy amidst this, which almost worked but as soon as I DMed them from that account they somehow immediately recognized my posting style from the love screeds I'd send them (it's beyond love bombing, I'm a love terrorist and I'm detonating the vest). Got banned from all the Lemmies, so I can't do it there. Reddit is all neolibs whomst I won't even touch.

wtf

[-] [email protected] 27 points 5 months ago

I'm annoyed that I didn't get one

[-] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago

i think i actually did once now that i think about it. immediately got banned. guess he learned

[-] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Classic lesson. Donโ€™t bite the hand that polices your love terrorism vest detonations

[-] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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 lmayo

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

ikr! Like, I guess my profile does say that I'm married, but come on, I still want to feel wanted! ๐Ÿ˜‚

(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)

[-] [email protected] 25 points 5 months ago

Wait that wasn't a bit

[-] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

transitioning just to have funny shit like this happen to me

[-] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Would still be a good tagline for the site banner.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

I got one a while ago I think

[-] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

He missed me!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

i remember this "bit" and i found the "bit" really funny at the time agony-deep jokerfication

[-] [email protected] 26 points 5 months ago

obama-sad I thought it was a bit when I first saw it (still kinda do low key)

[-] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago

Holy shit what I saw that post and thought for sure that was just another weird DayOfDoom bit. bye

~~I can't tell if this is a joke~~ ๐Ÿ˜”

~~Were they really banned? I liked them, I'll miss them, I wish I knew why they got banned ~~

Now I wish I didn't know

[-] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

I can't find anything else besides making a shit post in c/chapotraphouse and then apparently ban evasion?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

I mean the mod log says they got banned for ban evasion and doesn't have a time on it so. Yeah seems like it

[-] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

i'm not trying to be smarmy here, but:

whomst?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

idk someone tag me when wombat gets banned so i know when to go sicko mode

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

He was just a weird poster that was really nice most of the time but also made some creepy posts now and again. Most of us thought it was just irony posting gone slightly too far but maybe it was not

[-] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

Smh the tyrants (mods) have struck again

Mods hate to see lil sickos live laugh love

[-] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Some of yall need to work on your sociopath radar. The user in question has been doing creepy unhinged crap for a long time.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

That guy's responses to my posts made me uncomfortable, but I could never really put my finger on why. And the comments they made towards me didn't really have anything report worthy. With everything else we're finding out now, I'm glad the user is banned

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

This site is so irony poisoned that it can be tough to know sometimes when someone is being serious and when someone is being genuinely weird.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

I think this is the first time there's been a discussion of a legacy poster where I didn't recognize their username.
