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.
Where did they reference past DM harassment? Was it their comment in the general thread (around 8 hours ago)?
and some people wondered why kristina's survey didn't have any cis women responding
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.
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
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 think i actually did once now that i think about it. immediately got banned. guess he learned

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)
i remember this "bit" and i found the "bit" really funny at the time
I thought it was a bit when I first saw it (still kinda do low key)Holy shit what I saw that post and thought for sure that was just another weird DayOfDoom bit.
@Infamousblt@hexbear.net 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.
I can't tell if this is a joke😔~~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
I can't find anything else besides making a shit post in c/chapotraphouse and then apparently ban evasion?
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
idk someone tag me when wombat gets banned so i know when to go sicko mode
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
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.
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
I think this is the first time there's been a discussion of a legacy poster where I didn't recognize their username.
