Obituaries for the recently Ban-Hammered

[TheLurper]

Let's pour one out for our homie SkaterUK1 who was able to go off like a crazy man about Satanist Thrasher causing kids to be gay, but was only banned after he decided to go into the thread for queer skaters and harass them.  :'(

It is so unfair that he wasn't able to go into a thread specifically for a group of people who have been treated like shit for decades in skateboarding (so many of us used homophobic slurs and they were everywhere in skate culture in the 90s and 00s), were blocked from being pro (Birdhouse), were killed by mega-ramp skaters, and are persecuted and even executed in other countries. :'( Why is SLAP so unfair to our free-speech advocates?

I haven't seen many banned for promoting crazy ass ideas in any sort of non-hateful way. There have been plenty of conspiracies allowed to thrive on SLAP (the UFO thread). Sneaky went off into a paranoid world, but was often met with comments of respect and polite disagreement. There have been disagreements about all sorts of shit, but it is only when people cross the line into harassment that I've seen them banned. In the case of one extreme kook--who is likely the kookiest person ever to create 50 accounts to avoid his bans--he was allowed to go completely off the rails for far too long.

I'm obviously not a mod--and I'd never want the responsibility--but for me, when it comes to an online forum, there are some lines that can't be crossed. The idea that we want the board to filled with bots, trolls, or neo-nazi kooks is unreasonable. Skateboarding is for the weirdos and the people who didn't fit in at the bro-ass frat/sorority businessman football parties. Making sure SLAP isn't another space that is an uncomfortable place for all the people who--like us--aren't part of this bro-ass world is important. The world has changed, but let's not pretend that the frat boy mentality isn't still dominant, it is just that people outside this world finally have some institutional protection. 

That being said, I'll give you that the sexiest woman skater thread hadn't crossed, what I view to be--the line, yet, but no one was banned here.

Im team no one, let the man go off and blow some steam for a few days, he has autism apparently

I want the mods to know that the purpose of this topic is to discuss the legitimate past contributions of banned users.
To remember them in a better light than the one they left us in.
"Hate the sin but love the sinner"

You should be highlighting their topics and posts that brought something worthwhile to this community.

This is not a place to debate the mod's decisions or complain about bans, you understand the terms of participation.
I will never lock this thread so I hope the mods mod regarding my intention.

vk420 didn't commit the bunt heard round the world for this bellyaching about moderation

[chany penguin]

My memory for specific users isn't great but I remember a more lively debate. I remember guys posting dicks, posting dead infants, tay posted some truly dark and awful fantasy of a renowned pedo, there was some LiveLeak style death videos and none of them lead to bans as I recall. Pretty precipitous drop from that sort of laissez faire free speech to banned for being Republican or not wanting a shot. The r-word gets you banned, presumably the gay f-word as well but the n-word can be a user name? Some seemingly arbitrary rules. Didn't Gipper roast a kid for his baby dying?

Stop “pretending to argue in good faith” now the hall monitors don’t get off on it.

I really miss oppisite sided discussions and arguments

You mean… like the one you’re having right here?
Being opinionated & being an asshole sometimes go hand in hand, but they’re decidedly not the same thing.

Wishing you best of luck w/ the launch of your new skate chat forum.

…I'm not trying to lurk hard on 4chan or Twitterx ya feel me

No, indeed it seems you are not.
Just making plans to recreate them, w/ your branding, eh?

[Lame_Fella]

Pour one out for @fuckginoandpops

I don’t think we’re ever getting those free shirts he promised.

And what? Thats not anything near free speach and has nothing to do with being mean to oppressed groups of people. Its so wack what your doing lmao

lol why do people think that because there is free speech means people want to hear the dumb shit... most people don't care about other peoples (wrong or right) opinions and telling them to shut the fuck up or to fuck off has nothing to do with "rights" or having a "conversation"

[IusedToSkateMore]

for all you smooth brained bozos arguing that slap isn't fair, know this-

i'm here as a pretty straight male for the queer or trans kids that got picked on, beat up, excluded, murdered, or killed themselves because of who they are

i'm here as a white guy to tell racists to shut the fuck up and the get the fuck out

i'm here as a neurotypical, mostly able bodied motherfucker to shut down conversation and language disparaging people with intellectual or developmental differences

It's cause demons don't phase me 

[Abyss1]

[IusedToSkateMore]

out there advocating for discrimination and the use of slurs, huh? using slurs in the supermarket? when talking with your kids? parents? coworkers? I doubt you are. Worse than being corny is being phony. but you do you

Yep.
You got me; THAT’s totally it.
Has absolutely nothing to do with the dumb shit you’ve been spouting since showing up here.
Guess what though: as long as you’re not needlessly being a dick to people, I 100% support your right to express yourself freely here, regardless of how fried your takes are.
Goes both ways though & I am likewise free to tell you to sit down & shut the fuck up.
And to further address your iron clad argument as to why I might take umbrage with a post of yours, be advised that I have said here on these boards numerous times that I actually reall like having Bronk come around w/ his burner accounts: I really enjoy kicking his dick in for being such a goof.
Additionally, I’d like to add that both lk130 & Sneaky were 2 of my absolute favorite poster/users here for a long time. I used to flatter myself by thinking I was a low rent version Sneak, but something happened & I pray he’s okay & in a good space wherever he is. 
Lest we forget that lk130 was full on stalking somebody who I won’t mention, as their takes on DV have lead me to believe they are as sketchy as lk was.  I actually really miss that guy & wish he hadn’t turned out to be such a creep so I could continue to enjoy that special something he brought here with him.
Anywhooo… best to you & for sure fuck off.

Hey, what's up?

 I’m afraid to open this site while in public. Not gonna sit in public transport and open a thread full of scat pics. Nope.

Is that why you chose your user name? I don’t know if you’re being genuine but I got a buddy that has some mental illness and gets full ass EBT and benefits and a bunch of other shit. It’s enough for him but I could never live off so little.

I will say I agree with you that there are so many cornballs on this site, but fuck it.

[EBT card]

Yea I got all that shit, it's not alot but it's all profit, I got hella backpay. I'm gonna apply for section 8 too but I gotta figure out what state I wanna live in first. There's some people right by the beach in California paying 150-300 a month, I'm trying figure something like that

I think it's great, I think we should get UBI, it would start mad small businesses

i can't think of a single banned user who actually contributed meaningfully to this site. and don't say VK420 he fucking sucked way before his bunt and deserved to get banned for that debacle alone

[EXTRA SPICY]

I’m about travel from Long Beach to Kentucky for the solstice (and later that week for what the tenderized call “Christmas”), so SLAP helps prime my brain sometimes with stupidity so the band aid effect isn’t as shocking.

I appreciate the Mods keeping this place civil. It’s ok to use inside voices in spaces where ya don’t gotta scream.

The bunt was most exciting moment in recent slap with the go fund me. Tracer was a jerk but he drove engagement. no one is basically the king of canceling and he's neuroatypical, why'd he even get banned? Mods don't understand but you need the bad guy so you can say look at him, he's not like us. Sneaky had an interesting mind and started some crazy topics. I'm not sure what cheetahsheets did but he was funny too.
