Yes, of course. Sorry! Done now.

Warning is coming. And thread ban and Mod review.

We don’t moderate for lies and misinformation typically, we leave that up to posters to refute. But hijacks and insults are very clear.

Maybe by Monday or Tuesday the Modloop discussion will do more than what I’ve done so far. Weekends almost always lead to some delays.

I understand. Those lies were so hateful, though. I’m glad he’s under review.

Look, if a process says that some check-box must be ticked prior to banning a lying, ignorant, hypocritical, morally bankrupt troll, then check that box quickly and get the cancer outta here.

More about availability of time to review for a volunteer group. I know I was just on limited availability for 12 days and weekends are often lightly checked by moderators.

Oh, and as I just checked my PMs and he attacked me in a PM, he now has a 1 day suspension and hopefully this can be resolved today.

I’m just riffing on (without linking to) his response to me in the Marines thread that you hid:

No worries. I’m going to guess that even if he’s not banned now, he’ll be gone in the next three days tops if he’s already resorting to abusive PMs.

Thank heavens. Now we can go back to being a mindless echo chamber unburdened by such bold truthtellers and questioners of authority.

See, even here in our wokey-woke painfully Lefty world, even deportees get due process.

Unlike in the righty world outside.

  

Not specifically speaking of the soon-to-be-departed/deported, but to politically annoying posters in general …

ISTM we’ve had a small flood of very angry RW Canadians recently. It’s almost like they want a trumpy world up there too and are disappointed that those mean lefties down in the USA are trying to stop trump from overrunning Canada and ushering in the RW paradise they hunger for.

Has anyone else seen this uptick or am I hallucinating?

Not personally. Are any of them related to Sam Stone?

Are you talking about Uzi? They’ve been here since 2000 and have always been pretty conservative/libertarianish and they have been very, very consistent in their generalized belief in Albertan separatism. [From 2002](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/regional-differences-in-canada/):

As to separation, why not? That way the money that goes from Alberta to the poorer regions of Canada could go to help our own people in need. What makes the arbitrary markings on a map that people call, ‘Canada’, require us to send money thousands of miles away to others while people a few miles away, or right next door, go needy?

They were one of the flock. But I have the feeling there are more than that. Not a strong well-founded can-readily-name-names feeling, but a feeling nevertheless.

As I’d said, I could be dead wrong about this one.

Asking for some help gather information and links where **MW\_Degen\_Gamblr** is trolling the board. They have been a lot more subtle than many of our trocks but the pattern seems very clear to me and others. They’ve had a good 1 year run, I think it is time to end this character.

I’m starting up another discussion in the Modloop on them.
