I would be the first!!! The different persona here has all but killed me, like she’s all calm and normal. Lol
I know. It’s hard to reconcile it with someone making 4 different screen names with different personas and then getting banned and immediately trying to create a new one. This is not a person in a good place, mentally.
@stevia doesn't seem that bad to me, especially compared to other drama queens.
She was banned from the other forum for creating AEs to say very mean and nasty things to many different posters. She has said racist things. She is that bad. Maybe don’t post if you don’t know the history.
You're asking people to take your (or mofongo)'s word for it. So let's not bite someone's head off for questioning. People are allowed to base their opinion on what they've seen themselves on this forum if they want to. If she's as bad as you all say she is, I'm sure she'll show her true colors here eventually too.

She has created at least 5 different user names. She has been IP banned on HIH (and they do not ban anybody) and she is still trying to create names.

We did a shitty job in the past of allowing racists on this board, allowed them to speak horribly to WOC posters. Allowing Socks here in any form and just ignoring her seems insufficient.

Saying things like this about a known racist are just *peak* dismissiveness and entitlement:
* it doesn’t affect me, so it’s fine
* I only talk about other things, so if you don’t like, just block them
* I don’t see a problem, so there is no problem
* I’ve only ever had good interactions with them, so they’re fine
* etc etc etc
Like. WTF people. Racism is BAD. Racists are BAD. Trolls are BAD. There has been much discussion and fact sharing about this, and yet some of y’all are just peak ostrich about literally everything. If they only ever did the bad stuff, it sure as shit would be way easier. But that’s not how people with 47 billion online personalities works.
It is dismissive as fuck to accept a known racist into your discussions. Unless you’re required by your job to have some interactions, or some other similar circumstances, you absolutely have the right to not interact with racists as if nothing happened. Unless you too want to be seen as someone that’s just cool with casual racism. Then, by all means go for that.

Ok. This got through to me. In general I don't like people having their heads bitten off for questioning and then using their own brains to make their own decisions. But I also agree that some behavior, mainly racism or other discrimination, is bad enough that I hope others will be willing to take others' word for it and change their actions without solid proof.

I agree with all of this, I said to block her so we are not giving her a platform.
ETA: I I hope she can be banned. I can see how the word "easy" in my PP is dismissive, I apologize. I called her out as a racist troll few weeks ago. This troll feeds off of interactions, other than confronting racism, ignoring her might make her go away. if banning does not happen.

Lol, not sure why I’d lie about this. It’s all over there if you want to go read for yourself.
mofongo , HIH is overwhelming for me between the volume of threads and high post counts. Is there one or 2 specific threads so we could find it easier (especially the banning/outing/linking of all the troll accounts)? I don't think you can search by poster names without already having an account I believe.

Well damn she had a lot of names. Who has time for that!?!?? Like that one poster said, she probably did have post it notes all over her computer/phone to keep everything straight.

Monterey Bride. Not that I think these two are connected (I have no reason to think so). But we have our own history with people who use multiple aliases and cause damage, even if the damage caused is different.
I put a direct link to the page where the Admin talks about it, don't do this to yourself lol.
Seriously, because by page 11 we only moved on to effing plants :-)
There are 61 pages. SIXTY ONE! Lol!
The gist is that socks/stevia/multiple other assholes are the same IP and have been banned. Within a day, one more signed up and was banned. Same IP. So they’ve now closed the board to new members, and won’t lift that for a while.
So if the poor picked upon asshole feels targeted here, they’re free to leave and resolve the issue entirely.

Just as a FYI, I've seen the report and will be ignoring it. The statement of facts does not equal harassment in my opinion. In fact, when GBCN started, our only real rules in regards to deleting, banning was mostly for spammers. I can link to why we don't ban/delete for anything else if need be.
If people want to change the rules, it's a possibility, but to be honest, I don't think the admins are around anymore, and I can't IP ban.
In fact, I'm not sure most of the global mods are around either, and I could use some help with approving new posters and reports.

I still show up when called (DMed) like Beetlejuice. But for this case, Dick Move is the law. I can do a full board wide ban or nothing (the one board bans are a fancy EllieArroway skill I don't possess). I couldn't find HIH if my life depended on it.
So basically, Dick Move I am at your service on this one.

Because I can't remember, is Ellie able to IP ban?
