Sorry I didn't mean here. Feedback is feedback. But in actual threads you can see people going "X is a PBU just ignore him." Like, if he is a PBU really, they should be telling a mod to ban him. Except PBUs also get new chances if you ever see "Try harder on your next account." Which may be the case sometimes. You should ignore someone because they're stupid, which is probably why they became a PBU, not because of that accusation I think. Or if they're not a PBU then it derails a thread to call them one falsely.

PBUs don't get new chances. It's sarcasm from the mods because certain PBUs don't put a lot of work into hiding the fact that they are exactly that.
The problem with PBUs is that if you actually put work into hiding it, it's very difficult for mods to find out. The only thing left to give an indication is how they're posting (First post in the politics thread bashing left/right winged people is an obvious giveaway). For instance I am pretty certain that someone regularly in the Politics thread right now is a PBU, given by how aggressive his first few posts are (which is rare with actual new users). It isn't, however, proof, so they can't really ban him over it.

Shield got a new chance, you just have ask verrrry nicely.
He didn't hide his PBU status so I guess that's a bad example.

I think the mechanism is self-correcting. After a few easy spots of PBUs, the crowd got a little excited. After one or two more when they look foolish and cliquish, it'll die down.

With all the hot air in the last few pages the thread should be hosted on TeamGas instead.

This is his last chance. We’re all watching him like hawks.

that’s sad to hear. outside of the necessitated extra work of dual politics threads, was his blog otherwise not viewed as an unqualified success?
i feel like i must be out of the loop on something. what did he use his ‘last’ chance on, so to speak?

There's a whole ~10page thread on why GH was banned...

Dueling blog bans got cumbersome

ah, thank you, i had somehow missed that thread.
though now having read at least half of it, i’m really no closer to any real understanding, unless the entirety of the problem is within PMs. having not seen any, it seemed to be the only valid criticism.

I know TL don't moderate the truth, but surely at some point, it must be against good conversation to insist something repeatedly without evidence, simply writing "I already wrote that" repeatedly instead.

No seeker, in here we like to insinuate.

Passive aggressive website feedback! Where you hint at people you’d like to see banned, vaguely referencing truth and good conversation.
