In my opinion, too many controversial users on this site have been banned, leading to an overall reduction in activity here. Users like PolytheistWitch, or far right users like Mesmer, may have been odious to some, but such a diversity of views is essential to this site. In my opinion, this site cannot be interesting without a healthy contingent of extremely unpleasant people on it. Personally, I would advocate that the policy on banning should be skewed much further in a liberal, laissez-faire direction.
DART should stop banning people

Mesmer... is still around. ;) though her account's been offline a while.
Can't officially snitch so she can remain 'unofficially' around here.
Bottom line: Bots who spam 215 topics in a row should be banned hands down.

@RationalMadman
Mesmer is inactive and banning an inactive member without confirmation that the account is an alt of another active user would be baseless and useless. Let's further in when she comes back.

@Intelligence_06
I have 100%, confirmation of it. I will not say more than that I am certain and she has told me. In the end, she can debate here freely as long as she obeys the rules, I do not oppose reformation and she seems publicly reformed at least for now.
I miss Polytheist Witch.
I would ban Best.Korea and Shila within seconds of having been given that power.

@Ragnar
Post number 5 is technically doxxing. I know a ban would be controversial in the middle of an election cycle, but you can't let politics get in the way of doing what is right

@badger
Banning an Elo printer and a Forum count booster while they like it is not something I expect to be done.
Polytheist Witch was the biggest bitch on this website and I am happy she is gone

I love you too.

@Best.Korea
If you join my team then it provides ample opportunity to murder the leader and take complete control of the site.
Consider a role as chief military advisor please
Even if the forums lost some activity,
There's some people I'd be inclined to ban.
Though there are other people, I'd be inclined to leave be, and not ban.

@PREZ-HILTON
Being a chief military advisor sounds good.

@Best.Korea
Done. You will be in charge of my personal security as well during all online events

@PREZ-HILTON
Doesnt even remotely come under doxxing.
-->
@PREZ-HILTON
If you want, I can consent to it being deleted but that is not doxxing.

@whiteflame
Please delete post 5 if it counts as any kind of rule violation and also remind wylted not to publicly threaten mod action to another user.
Not a threat a request for mod action and my campaign seeks transparency so it was a public request
-->
@PREZ-HILTON
You were never transparent about your intentions to run against me when pretending to support me, not this election nor the one before. That said, I do not mind this being removed. It definitely is not bannable, I would accept a warning only and as president you just supported tyranny for a slight thing. We can both see it is not doxxing.
This is actually an excellent example of which of us is actually for freedom and fairness.
Yes I was. I really didn't want to run but you forced my hand both times. You need help bro. The fact major player in all 3 political parties has agreed to endorse me, says a lot about you

@Intelligence_06
RM has my vote for Mod in this campaign. As does Intelligence.
-->
@Sir.Lancelot
Intelligence will be supporting me, but no president doesn't have modding powers
-->
@Wylted
Then it's official.
We'll cast our votes for you in the upcoming election.
-->
@Sir.Lancelot
That means a lot from somebody so close to the royal family
Wait Polytheistic Witch is banned? Wtf
-->
@Sir.Lancelot
where has intelligence said he supports wylted and what did you base your vote on?
-->
@RationalMadman
Getting the sense that Wylted is trolling, so I’m just rolling with it.
-->
@Sir.Lancelot
That's how he works, he makes you thinks it's all jokes and stuff until you realise he's deadly serious.
Wylted is never as friendly and jokey as you think, trust me on that much. He's a very sinister mastermind type of guy who appears artificially chaotic, in ways he's the inverse of what my username is. I guess it depends how you interpret it though, maybe he is the 'rational madman'.
He sounds like he fits the criteria for a perfect leader.
I’m still voting RM regardless.
