    reason: Admitting to being a troll: “I’m an agent of chaos.”

    Absolutely the limpest reason to temp ban someone from a shitposting community. From the context it was obviously an offhanded joke, not an actual admission of someone trying to disrupt the community.

        1. Then the mods should be honest about why he’s being banned in the modlog.
        2. Him (charitably) being an overzealous meanie in defense of an honest brand of feminism does not make him a shitlord.
        3. Sometimes people need to be dunked on for both their own good and the good of the community, obviously myself included. A perfectly appropriate venue for some gentle dunking is a shitposting community.

        It’s a shame that the thread got locked. It was getting heated, but IMO that’s a good sign that what you’re talking about actually needs to be debated.

      Ah so that’s the thread in question. Was wondering what post it was and honestly, I suspected that one of being rage bait.

      The original image seemed like it was missing context so I figured OP was gonna come swinging in later against any comments saying it was extreme with the additional context.

      And yes, out of context I thought it was a bit extreme. I don’t necessarily agree with what the first person in the image said although that’s a complex topic that deserves a much lengthier discussion, but just randomly having someone tell them that they’re a creep who deserves to be tased is fairly extreme without any additional context. Keep in mind, I have no idea who the individual is or what they’ve done.

      The fuckin essays that generated. Jesus christ. We’re failures as shitposters when a shitpost generates that much drama.

        Hard disagree lol, I love when a shitpost actually gets people to debate about important things. So many people would just never think about that stuff otherwise.
