Are you going to ignore the actual fact? Because making up your own doesn't actually make it true.
It was tongue in cheek. Stop being sensitive. I acknowledge the Rona is real and is worse than normal flu strands but you have to also acknowledge. 160,000 deaths from 6 million “reported cases” is a VERY low mortality rate for such a horrible pandemic.

Whatever. It's cost us a great mod. One that seemed to take on the lions share of modding. Hell, he was only trying to enforce a long standing rule in The Lounge and was right to do so.

But it seems like maaaaaybe you could get some kind of "mod consensus" (6 out of 8 mods agree?) in extreme circumstances to just ban obvious shitposters from threads - like KCTotallyCoincidentially88 from this one and say pete's endless manic phase spew from the covid thread.
Like obviously qanon stuff isn't tolerated in the lounge. Should coronahoax be?
Ive seen forums burn in flames when a "mod mob" mentality takes over by committee as well.
Look, this forum has lasted 20 years where the shelf life of many forums seems to be 7-10 years. This place is doing something right no matter how bizarre and fked up some you are. I wouldnt do anything drastic

It will start to get better one way or the other in 80 or so days.

So
Doesn't change the fact that Deface has deprived us of a long standing cp tradition of stand-alone leaving forever thread.

The tradition I've experienced is mockery of those threads because they are lame and attention seeking. Deface is neither of those. Covid is not the reason we lost him.

Yeah, after the initial 1 in every 400 of the 8 million people in NYC dying in a matter of a few months, it's great that it didn't play out that way everywhere.... despite ourselves, for the most part.

Oh lighten up Dave he will be back. You of all people have had fun with those threads too.
If nothing else it opens a slot up for you. You have made it clear your goal is to be a mod its pretty clear.
