Alluded to that if he was going to act like a selfish spoiled child, maybe he needed to be treated like one and spanked. It was in a thread where everyone was making allusions, including the guy that started the thread off by calling his actions immature.
I think it was more the tone of the whole thread, god knows I did not have the nastiest reply by a long shot. Would be interesting to see who else got turfed from that conversation. It happened within 30 seconds of me posting. So there was definitely some bot-involved housecleaning going on.
I kept my account - did not delete it - and it's weird that even though it's a banned account, I am still getting replies to ancient posts now and again, that I think are bot training efforts. When I get those, I can actually get to the otherwise inaccessible threads - which are ostensibly archived - and I go through the post and look and see if I made other comments and delete them. There is definitely some shit going on with banned users data. If you delete your account, your comments become nameless and "lost property".
Naah.. fuck that shit. I'll hold onto my account, banned or not. At least I can rip out anything they open up and make accessible again.
And I will.. with a vengeance.
Indeed there is. Initially I tried to delete my account and I wrote in the "why are you leaving?" field when you close an account that "Hup-ho, it was time to go, good bye and good luck.." It was NOT a "please reconsider" appeal.
The deletion would NOT go through, then a day later I got the "appeal rejected" letter claiming it was approved by a person. I did NOT appeal.
So at that point I realized that something was definitely up with AI on the site beyond the comment bots and I pivoted to removing every bit of content I put in.
Got all my posts, but the comments on other users posts - well you only get access to what you put up in the prior year - a change that dropped with the IPO. before that, you could tunnel down into your comment history all the way back to your first one.
Also, as I was deleting, there was a weird resistance where I only got access to three pages worth of comments before the browser would get locked out and I'd get the account banned page with nothing else. I had - at the time - multiple junker laptops with active logins - so I'd switch up to those devices and continue on. Took several hours over three evenings to clear out that full year of comments I'd made that I could still access. Everything before October 2024 however, is inaccessible.. unless a bot (it HAS to be a bot being trained, nothing else - certainly not another user - can access archived posts and unarchive and comment on them..) happens to reply on a comment.
At that point I'm on it like a terrier on a rat.
