While some of you may have seen this before, a shocking number of users appear to not understand that we have this wonderful device.

It can allow a user to look at the things mods and admins have to remove; and if you were ever to wonder why you keep seeing users, mods, and admins leave due to transphobia, you could pursue through it to see what they're talking about.

    Things like this are typically wrecker account bans as far as I'm aware, historically the site has had wrecker problems from extremely dedicated users making accounts specifically to engage in activity to harm the site and there's active action from the team to cull those accounts. There probably needs to be a clearer policy for writing modlogs about those though, particularly as they're judgement calls based on user behaviour and account age.

    I can understand how this might look bad to some who has only been on the site for a month, particularly based on how that log is written. That one I'm really not sure of though.

      Is that poster a wrecker though? I didn't think the posts they wrote were ban worthy, but maybe I'm missing some specific context here.

        Not in this case I think. I don't know the full context or history either though. I suspect falling on the problem side of things over and over and over again. I'm personally not familiar enough with the user to say with any confidence though.

          It's a trans comrade that accidentally got caught in the original purge. They got banned in this case after saying that they found it personally invalidating for TC69 to imply that only cissies criticized the moderation policies and that her only regret was not banning more cissies.
