After discussion in the mod loop, we have decided to permanently ban @ZosterSandstorm from the board. It is our perception that this poster is basically here to troll and gin up anger around hot button issues, rarely offering evidence for their claims and frequently insulting other posters.
They have 6 formal warnings. The mod staff has made a lot of effort to ameliorate this poster’s behavior, to no avail. For full details of the warnings, please click through to the actual links.

@ZosterSandstorm then took an extended hiatus from the board. Upon their return, they went back to trolling, whether by intent or otherwise. Since the effect is the same, we do not draw a distinction between intentional and non-intentional trolling.
They were mod noted for it on November 1, 2026:
They then immediately returned to the same inflammatory theme on November 2, 2026, for which they received another warning and a temporary suspension while their posting privileges were discussed:
In addition to the formal warnings delineated above, they have suffered 2 suspensions, many mod notes and an impressive number of flags.
For all of the above reasons, we have chosen to permanently ban this poster.
