A History Of The Sietch/SB PM Ban Compilation and Discussion thread.

Harlock

I should have expected that really
SB staff were divided leading up to this, there is no denying it. There was bad blood and bitterness and one of them was almost certainly leaking like a fucking sieve. The individual in question was left leaning and went to bat for Horton more than once, even arguing in favour of overturning his ban out of nowhere. Odd timing, didn't know what the prompting there was but seems clear now.

That individual vanished in the lead up to this and was quietly removed from staff a day or two after all this business happened. Mods don't have access to a PM, but he would have had a list of members.

This wasn't just Horton, it was a coordinated move by several malcontents with an axe to grind. Nobody will remember the fact most of this was bullshit, they'll just remember the initial narrative same as the Athene situation. The first response was always going to be critical, it needed to be calm, firm and restrained until a full assessment of the facts was completed.
Exactly as expected from SB competence

Anyway, would you like to tell us how you found the Sietch or came across it?

I pretty much just stumbled on it. I was looking up the word 'Sietch' which is Dune's Fremen term for a village and the site happened to show up in the search results.

Edit: I think it's strange that there are more guest viewers on the site than members, as well, but that's off-topic, I suppose.

Actually, Herbert took a historical term, namely a Sich as in Zaporozhian Sich of Cossacks, who very much were Free Men.

Why don't you guys undo my ban from a dead section so I can go into the NSFW section and say a few farewells to users I consider friends?

Plus I'd like to make a statement.

I'll put something witty here eventually.
No...I just want to say goodbye to my friends...


I only came back for that...The only way I'd ever stay is if no one currently on the staff, remain on the staff and that includes the owner and all said owners dupe accounts.
Then just up and leave. Stop being melodramatic. It's like the people on twitter who are like "I'm leaving twitter!" or "I'm going to stop following you!"

Just do it and move on. Don't try and make a spectacle, just fade away.

NOOO YOU CAN'T JUST ACCURATELY POINT OUT THE PROBLEM..WHY DON'T YOU JUST LEAVE SO MY FRIENDS AREN'T BOOTYBLASTED AND CAN SAVE FACE!

Fuck off you clown, you were a shit mod on SB and a disgrace as a human being and that hasn't changed at all in the intervening years.

I'll go out as I've always gone out...Spitting defiance at the shitheads around me.
