Yeah unless a mod has agreed to lift the ban on the latest version of the thread, from what I can see.

Ten of Swords

I put my hand up to any errors or omissions on this first draft of the list.

As Baggly said the list is going to be subjected to ongoing verification so it may be modified or updated over the next while. The source data for the list is approximately 40,000 posts across 4 threads so initial errors are certainly a possibility.

Anyone who has been threadbanned, and wishes to participate in the thread they are banned from again, can contact a forum mod to discuss this, this has always been the case.

Trump's own victim complex seems to be rubbing off on his fans.

Maybe it's that one side don't feel the need to report every dig against their side, while the other side can't take the heat and hit the report button for every imagined slight

Yes it’s the people reporting the crimes that are at fault, not the criminals.

What a bunch of snowflakes.

Yea I know.

Why was 'sleepy Joe' banned?

Why wasn't 'IMPOTUS' ?

No evidence Biden is "sleepy"

Plenty of evidence that Trump was Impeached

#IMPOTUS = IMpeached POTUS

The list of threadbanned posters is very one sided..

The fact your name appears 3 times certainly sways the balance

TBH you should have picked up forum bans each time you posted when threadbanned, so you are fortunate to even have access to the forum

EDIT - but seeing you continue to post in the thread even today you have now picked up a forum ban

One might hope they'd use it as an opportunity for a little introspection rather than blaming everyone else.

It's why I asked if thread bans carry over. How can they be on it 3 times. Twice, maybe. Lifted after the first and banned again, but 3 times.

As the old saying goes; fool me once, strike one, fool me twice, strike three.

Trump supporters often tend to behave worse, it's a reality tbh.

It's not like I have been abusive or anything..the odd smart comment in the face of people not arguing honestly, just pushing an agenda..

Makes no odds what they were for really. I'd have no problem giving a second chance to someone but to get thread banned 3 times is a bit much

Whatever, like, I'll get over it, but should the role of moderators not be to ensure one side of the argument doesn't get shouted down by the other as opposed to weigh in very much on one side of a debate?..

Moderators have been enforcing the rules stringently on posts from both sides tbh. It's not limited to just one group.

No if users choose to take an indefensible position, eg. Climate change denial it’s not the role of moderators to make sure there’s a “balanced discussion” between one climate change denier and 30 climate change realists.

That’s an awfully misguided and melodramatic way of interpreting what I just said.

What do you want, an “electoral college” style skewing of threads so that the view of 1 denialist = 30 realists? Are the realists only supposed to post 1/30th as often?

Just out of interest, have you been reporting posts or have all these bans been the mods taking it upon themselves?..

Of course I report posts. Mods here have asked for reports ad infinitum. If you don’t report posts you have little Avenue to complain about actionable posts.

That doesn’t connect with your loaded question mind. My reporting posts does not correlate with mods being able to take their own actions on their own observations.

I agree. In that case the bans were applied in different variants of the same topic. We state threadbans carry over in each OP. I know we've started listing them in the OP and there are a few threads in the Coronavirus forum where we do the same. It's good practice particularly for these long running multi-threads and wepergaps need to be more consistent on the point

In this case it seems to have been cases of slipping through the net
