It took awhile for that demodding to come and how it was allowed to happen in the first place.......yikes. But hey, the people voted for him.

And realistically if you use the @the cac mamba standard Dead says something bushes worthy at least once per day. But that's not the standard we should be using. Sly was bushed recently because what he was doing in the thread was actual trolling. He belongs there. Using months old posts to send someone to the Bushes because they aren't fawning and falling over the Mueller investigation and calling it race baiting is questionable.
he was voted moderator or poster of the year because the conservatives would play the game smart and make sure they vote for one candidate, while the rest would split their votes among several people and he would win.

Dead says stupid shyt all the time, but he keeps his trolling to be under the guise of pro black - Libertarianism. That and being black is probably why he isn't bushed as often. He also doesn't pretend like he doesn't want to post here.

As for the cac mamba, he's probably bushed more frequently than others for what he posts and being white. But he's also asked to be banned from HL countless times. So :yeshrug:.

Ah, a pro black Libertarian :snoop: but if that's how he wants to live his life.....

A ban from HL would work I think. Sometimes it is hard to stop posting somewhere if you still have access to it and passionate about the topic. I think Forum Bans should be used in lieu of the Bushes in certain instances. It's not fair that a poster bushed for BS in here can't access any other forum if they aren't causing any issues there. Might be something we can bring to the admins.

I mean if this is what was going on maybe you all should have coalesced around a suitable poster/mod candidate. I expect something like this to happen in TLR but this is supposed to be the "smart forum." And did you all make sure there weren't random posters from other forums making a one time appearance to vote for him? Even when this place was more politically diverse there were never too many conservative leaning posters.

Are you genuinely asking and making these statements or you are you making bad faith arguments?


You're welcome to go count the number of banned posters, aliases and throwaway accounts that voted for him in both cases.


:ehh:

The majority of posters in hl aren't interested in debating white supremacists and having threads derailed by them. We're not here for that and the forum has expressed it numerous times.

We've also been complaining about the same issues since 2015/2016 and they've mostly fallen on deaf ears.

Number 10 is not valid when it comes to @the cac mamba. He has been repeatedly bushed for bullshyt reasons. His rhetoric is more level headed than say @DEAD7 who you all voted as POSTER OF THE YEAR and MODERATOR so his constant bushings do look funny in the light and a wide variety of posters and others agree. This is probably a bait thread so he can amass more warning points.
:manny:I was easily POTY the year I won... no one was remotely close.



By the time the mod election came up, I was well settled into contrarian troll mode and honestly shocked I won.
:yeshrug:


That said, :umad:

Easily? :usure:

Official 2013: HL Poster of the year is...

Judging by the comments it was a close race until the actual election thread “disappeared.” They confirmed that you won but let’s not pretend it was a landslide.

I know the right likes to rewrite history though so I’ll let you cook.

Lol at that thread. Dead was easily POTY that year. I know it might surprise a lot of you but he used to post without trolling so much. Same goes for 88. He used to be one of the best posters on here but the troll game took over.

Who is "you all" though? I sure had nothing to do with either one of those things and didn't even know about them. Probably wasn't even posting here yet.
