Were there any others?

The similar timing of the bans and amount of time they'd been allowed to spam Poal without being banned makes me think there was a change in thinking about how Poal is going to operate.

I can't say I disagree with either ban (except that one is clearly going to keep making alts and coming back, so it's basically ineffective). But I also can't really put my finger on why I agree with either ban. They're annoying niggers, but @PuttIt0ut was pretty much just posting in his designated subs (unless @AOU was moving them) and @the_old_ones for now seemed content to try to boost his points and restore/clean his reputation and remove the account tag, by posting anti-pedo (hmm) news and only occasionally autistically threatening people in comment sections.

So bring us in on it, admins. What is on your minds?

These platforms invite ego.

Why do you think we've frequented anonymous message boards for so long? Namefags are detestable for this obvious reason.

That's a good point, that I've probably never thought of that way before.

The hurtbox destroys your ego.

See, chans do something that can't be done otherwise. It removes what you know, strips it down, meticulously analyzes it and shoves it in your face. You get to a point where you don't get to look away. The truth is stripped out of you, so much so that after a certain amount of time, your only option is to be perfectly honest while you're anonymous.

The hard part is balancing that understanding with people around you. We commonly refer to slipping up as "revealing your power level". Hopefully the reason is now transparent: we're talking about invoking ego again, despite it having been stripped of you. Personally, I hardly have any self-awareness anymore. It comes with a cost.

It's hard to get anything constructive done if everyone is lying. Maybe some slip into a mode online, or maybe like that all the time. I think any kind having to deal with the real world and real work will strip you down quickly. Some types of work and tribulation are less forgiving than others.

I owe the chans a lot for my character and knowledge, I can relate a lot to this.
