This thread is for discussing recent bans. Don't discuss other topics here.

Take it to website feedback if you disagree with a ban or want to raise an issue.

Keep it civil.

He lives on in our hearts and our inboxes. I’m sure the mods have entertaining ones on another level.

I just wandered over to website feedback and was amazed to see that thread is still alive. And really has exactly the same content as the actual USPol thread. It's like an infection, spreading all over TL. It started in general, then spread to website feedback, now blogs... soon it'll take over featured news!

He got warned, which normally leads to him PMing the mod that warned him, which then lead to him getting banned. The great cycle.

Some folks took that shit weirdly seriously, so it was likely a good call.

The funny thing is that the ban reason for zlefin, doesn't actually say what he was banned for, but we can all guess to the reason. And the rest is basically zlefin bait.

That’s what makes it simultaneously hilarious and a bad idea.

Where’s the Kickstarter or PayPal for helping zlefin make his own website of political discussion, which he can moderate according to his grasp of good standards repeatedly promulgated in his Website Feedback thread? I’m reminded of the other site made by a banned TL user in the days before temps and more trolling/countertrolling of mods.

Anyone who volunteers to moderate the USPOL thread should not be trusted to moderate the USPOL thread. Or be trusted in general.

I feel bad for the guy. We had an issue when didn't understand him but for the most part I think he was trying to post reasonably and about politics, he just didn't seem to understand social rules, even online. It sounds like his PM's were not good, but his with me were fine.

This thread sometimes feels like the kick guys when they are down thread. Which I don't really mind when people can come back and respond to it. When they are perma'd it seems a little too harsh.

I concur; agree with him or not, zlefin certainly cared about encouraging discussions and I'm a bit sad that he's totally gone now. He also said he had developed long term health problems, the poor guy.

He's never struck me as the kind of person who will admit when he's wrong, apologize, and try to fit in with the community, so I doubt he will convince anyone to unban him.

That is the problem really. Zelfin cared, but also was to invested in never admitting he was wrong.

He once asked what constituted an impeachable offense. I told him it was still a debatable issue and he should look up what people consider “high crimes and misdemeanors” to start because that is still debated. He clearly didn’t know that “high crimes and misdemeanors” was the exact verbiage from the constitution, because he told me I was wrong and didn’t feel those were impeachable. The whole thing ended with him sending me nasty PMs because I was a troll for answer his question.

He seemed like an OK guy besides that. But often that was the only interaction folks could have with him.

I do kind of feel for the guy and think that sometimes making fun of him is in poor taste. It’s sort of hard to look past the hate mail that people tend to post about what he sent to them, though, because it’s quite bad.
