A lot of things that get you banned now wouldn't have even warranted a warning in the early days. The Coli was almost self moderating, particularly JBO, and it was up to the posters to report anything deemed too troublesome. At that time almost nothing was off limits.

However, much like Twitter, what was accepted on the platform changed over time. So while the posters may have cleaned up their act, their old posts were still there to be dug up for scrutiny.

Some of the posters being banned were banned because of posts dating back years. A lot of this was new to the moderating staff but the climate had changed and now there was a demand for action, no matter how old the post was.

And the userbase will say, "How did you all let that slide for so long?" My response is that the userbase let it slide. You look at some of these posts and they come from major threads and no one reported them, usually just arguing back and forth with the poster or not even acknowledging them. So SOME of these things were tolerated by the userbase.

We still let a lot slide honestly compared to other forums but a lot of chickens have been coming home to roost.

As for @Cobratron, he may have been a victim of a running gag of his own creation. The jury is still out on that one.

True, this place was wild in in the early days. Somebody upped a post of mine from 2012 not too long ago, and I was shocked at how brazen it was. If I posted the same thing now I’d get banned ASAP, but at the time nobody cared.

When this site started trolling and f#ckery wasn’t just accepted, but it was promoted.


Edit: Cobratron got banned :dwillhuh:

Social Media as a whole in 2012 was wild, it was like the fukkery in 2019 turned to 100. Nobody really gave a fukk about what they posted.

@Twitter is gone.

I knew it was a matter of time. I saw them building the case against him yesterday.

I joined in 2014. We're those first two years really the wild west? Like you could say damn near anything?

Be who and whatever it is you are offline While online. .. I’m quite literally the person I post here as if you ran into me offline.

People grow/evolve/change.

But .. there’s a lotta lost dumb ass kids that came here as a refuge from the person they really are

Posts from the 2012-2015 ish is gonna haunt a LOT of folks in the cancel culture era.

shyt was just reckless as hell and I say this as an old head who remembers how we talked to one another on SOHH in the early 2000 days.
