GR again

in the 5 minutes they have been back (thanks to the woefully poor judgement from hastur, again) tehy have done nothing but troll, disrupt and harrass. can we be shot of prick once and for all? AMassiveGay (talk) 12:10, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Aye. [1][2] for anyone who wants some diffs of him pointlessly attacking oxy (the attacks are out of the blue, don't pertain to the thread and seems just designed to smear Oxy. He's blatantly broken our harassment policies here (and arguably doxxing, although it's a weak one. Revealing a partners online handle without consent is arguably considered doxxable content, but I'm not intending to argue it to death). Furthermore, he's been consistently attempting to pull cheap gotchas on me and other editors (ref. Saloon and the mod campaigning page), which are losing their charm rapidly for me. I don't think I'm speaking alone here in the fact that my patience with him has dwindled so far below zero that it makes dealing with LiberalTears attempts to use us to play telephone with nobs seem like a more appealing use of my time. Of course, I fully expect Raven to go "and you just want me gone now, so you instantly cooped me" whining bullshit in the comments once his 3 hour block someone else gave him expires, so expect some of that drooling he's been doing on our other pages to start occurring here as well. I suggest nipping it in the butt now before he can sludge more of his dregs on the site. Maybe he can then turn socdemwiki into something else than bikeshedded templates and stubs. Techpriest ^{(I am Alpharius! / / / )} 12:34, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

GR doxxed my partner in the bar. Diff here: [3]. He also did it as a form of harassment, so, well, you know, do with it what you will, but I don't think we should continue to let a harasser and doxxer with a proven problematic track record on this wiki and elsewhere to be allowed on this site. — Oxyaena ^Harass 12:45, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

I am completely in favour of startring another formal Coop case with a view to permabanning GR. There's no way he's going to survive this one. Not even if he does pull another LANCB. Spud (talk) 13:02, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Pretty strange how the GR/Oxy war basically started out of nowhere for no reason and still doesn't make any sense. HairlessCat (talk) 13:08, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

off wiki drama as far as i can tell. before gr even showed up here. AMassiveGay (talk) 13:14, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

From what I'm aware of/have been told, the mutual dislike seems to have started way before GR showed up here, and it pertains little to his current behavior in terms of stirring up shit (also don't want to focus too much on this cuz he'll use this as an opportunity to direct this all away from his behavior on the site and accuse his accusers of being prejudiced over old drama). Techpriest ^{(I am Alpharius! / / / )} 13:34, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Okay, not commenting on the whole "dox" thing, because that seems like none of my business...you can't seriously claim his edits have been "principally constructive" since he returned. He has degenerated from a productive user with some controversial traits to a garden variety troll. Why should we keep him around? What is this community supposedly losing here?-Flandres (talk) 13:54, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

He's still bringing in my personal shit to the wiki. Fucking bastard. [4] Notice that my partner didn't consent to bringing this shit onto the wiki. He specifically told me he was trying to defuse things, and didn't want Raven using this against me. — Oxyaena ^Harass 14:00, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

It truly has been a highly pleasant bunch of weeks without Raven shitting up the wiki. Raven's behaviour since he returned has been nothing but petty, nasty, vicious or a combination of all three. Once the voting starts I propose pi weeks, pi months and pi years block (simple majority) as well as a perma ban (2/3 votes necessary) with all successful penalties to be applied consecutively. Voting ought to continue regardless of whether Raven LANCBs again to try to avoid sanctions (once again). ShabiDOO 14:45, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Yah, say goodbye to Raven. Awful bastard. Ace^Moderator 18:12, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Doxxing

So... if revealing the online handle of Oxy's partner is considered Doxxing, then I have one obvious question. Why is the name still up in the Saloon Bar? CoryUsar (talk) 16:51, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

I was not quite sold on the idea of this being doxxing, but if you want to remove it be my guest.-Flandres (talk) 16:54, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

(ec) If doxxing involves saying someone's name with their consent, then doxxing isn't that big of a problem. Also, they are making shit up to get me banned. Instead of just saying "I don't like raven so ban him" (which would be sincere), they are inventing myriad of reasons to get me banned. I have screenshots of the person consenting to naming them, so.... And even an obsessed hater with Flandres doesn't think its doxxing. It's that paperthin. — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 16:54, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

I said arguably and that I didn't truly believe that I wanted to make the case around this. Can we talk more about your unprovoked attack on her which is definetly breaking our harassment policy? Or your continued insistence to misspell my username? Or how you within 24 hours of unblocking have managed to piss off nearly every sysop I've seen, even those who normally support you. Because those things are far more substantiated than the weak form of doxxing present here. Techpriest ^{(I am Alpharius! / / / )} 17:01, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

So if the person consents to having their name out, explicitly and directly telling me that they don't care.... Actually, define doxxing for me. With a citation of any online dictionary. @Sirius — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 17:02, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

You don't get to set the terms here. Like I said, I'm not making it about the weak doxxing. What made you do that unprompted attack on her? Why are you misspelling my username when not pinging me? Why have you seemingly made it your mission since coming back to piss off every editor? Those are why you're here. I won't entertain the doxxing conversation any further unless you can answer these questions. Techpriest ^{(I am Alpharius! / / / )} 17:05, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Alright, so you won't even define doxxing for your accusation. Interesting! — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 17:08, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Can you answer my questions? Techpriest ^{(I am Alpharius! / / / )} 17:10, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Can you answer his question, instead of ignoring it? 2A02:1812:2C66:D000:2C84:8A5B:EE:6918 (talk) 17:16, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

I don't think it was doxxing either. I have no love for Oxy, a quick look at our correspondence would show that at best I view her as "annoying". I honestly think she told the story to try and get sympathy from everyone else, the most charitable explanation is that she makes extreme assumptions that a mentally healthy person would not (unless there is a better explanation for "I can't get in contact with someone" = "They definitely committed suicide"), and I don't believe she is even mentally capable of coming to terms with her own inadequacies. So obviously, I don't care too much that she was harassed.

But if someone was harassing her, I do care about that. CoryUsar (talk) 17:11, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Regardless of whether or not Oxy lied, GR had no need to say so in the Bar. It was almost certainly an attempt to discredit and/or annoy her. Twodots (talk) 17:20, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

I know the source is "dude, trust me", but I asked Oxy to explain the situation (she can verify); the short of it is that she couldn't get in contact with her partner for over a week, then a friend of both Oxy and that person told her "your partner probably committed suicide" and 20 minutes later she posted in the bar about taking a break. I can verify that this conversation happened because of a reason that I am not willing to publicly disclose (cuz it could ruin my attempts at verifying stuff in the future), but if anyone wants an explanation, you can DM me in the RW support chat. Now can we move on to actually holding GR accountable for his behavior? There's a few questions I want answered and he's ignoring them it would seem. Techpriest ^{(I am Alpharius! / / / )} 17:24, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Just like you're ignoring his question. 2A02:1812:2C66:D000:2C84:8A5B:EE:6918 (talk) 17:39, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, GR's attack was unprompted, out of the blue, and genuinely counts as harassment. Irregardless of whatever squabbles are going on at the bar, this is no room for harassment. — Oxyaena ^Harass 17:27, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘I don't believe that this was doxxing since GR showed that the person in question said that it was not. It does look like harassment to me. To me, this looks more like harassment. There's a way to go about calling someone out about lying without delving into harassment, and that was not it. GR could have said something like, "I heard that your partner did not actually die. What happened?" This gives the accused a chance to confess or explain, and if the accused does not confess, then one can present the evidence. While it's true that Oxy has been caught lying before, unless the lying also breaks the community standards, there's no prescribed punishment for it. In principle, the mob can punish for any reason at all, but the vote is rather unlikely to get the required 2/3 majority (or >50% for lesser punishments) unless the behavior breaks the CS. Bongolian (talk) 17:30, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

@Bongolian do you care that she lied about her partner committing suicide? — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 17:31, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Do you think it's impossible to care about both the lying and the harassing? CoryUsar (talk) 17:39, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

No? Why are you asking? Did I say that? — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 17:41, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

I do not care about the lying unless and until it contravenes the community standards. I was actually suspicious (due to past behavior) about that Saloon post at the time, but thought that the best response was to express sympathy since I had no evidence to the contrary. Bongolian (talk) 17:45, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Fair enough (that was actually my reaction too; I casually found out about the lie when I asked Z about it). — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 17:47, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Ok, guys, we've already established that GR's actions constitute some level of harassment. Can we discuss the severity of the harassment instead of whatever it is we're doing now? I feel like it'd be more productive. Twodots (talk) 17:51, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Stop being such a suck-up. 2A02:1812:2C66:D000:2C84:8A5B:EE:6918 (talk) 17:56, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Raven, there was no lie. Stop. — Oxyaena ^Harass 17:55, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

[15][16] — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 17:58, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Let's just assume Oxy is a liar-that has at best tangential bearing on this case. Harassing a liar is still harassment. He has still contributed to drama on other unrelated topics in a very short amount of time since he came back, as Sirius pointed out.-Flandres (talk) 18:00, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

"I don't really care what any of the fuckwits in here think about me, quite frankly."

Thanks, GR. Twodots (talk) 18:10, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘it irrelevant whether it was a lie or not. oxyaena gained nothing from it, no harm was incurred to anyone from it. oxyaena is in no way obliged to explain herself to anyone on rw and certainly not to a prick whose every post is harassment. if oxy has been caught in a lie its hardly the crime of the century - its of interest only to oxy herself. further discussion on the details of the alleged lie is of no concern here. what is of concern is the manner it has been 'exposed' - if indeed thats what happened - which is nothing short of harassment, the continued gloating by the prick gr is continued harassment, which we all help to enable if we focus on the substance of a supposed and meaningless untruth. we dont need the details or need to know the 'truth' of matter but we do need to keep focus on the horrendous harassment from a dumbfuck troll whose own relationship to the truth is, shall we say, estranged. AMassiveGay (talk) 18:15, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Can we just block this dude? It's clear that he has no desire to contribute to the wiki, and he's done nothing but stir up trouble. Twodots (talk) 18:37, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

@ace - i have (or had, i suppose) relatives who committed suicide. they are in no way harmed by someone lying about a suicide. in this case the alleged untruth even less so. a lie about things such doesnt harm me just makes me think a little less of an alleged liar. no reason for me not to think it a genuine mistake. it wasnt like oxy milked it any way. should anyone have been hurt by it can take it up with oxyaena if need be. here though, as i have said, its an irrelevance. nothing was gained from it, no one was harmed by it, its an irrelevance here.

It's a data markup language, kinda like XML (which is a good bit older than JSON). Except unlike XML it's a lot more simple since you don't have to define everything in 50 different ways. You find it a lot when trying to talk with web apis or setting up config files. As for @GR, understanding JSON took me about 30 minutes and I haven't had trouble since.

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ I don't care how you couch your words, mandating the labeling of GMO products for no reason other than "they might be putting stuff in my food" is an anti-GMO position, yes, actually. This is akin to saying "I am not a racist, but blacks are kinda scary" — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 23:30, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

If you'd actually read what I was saying, my reasoning was "I don't trust corporations, I want to know what they're doing so that they can't lie about it", not "I want GMOs labeled because GMOs are against nature so I can avoid buying them". The latter is the logic anti-GMOers use. I am not one. But sure, obfuscation to own the anti-GMOers I guess. Also, good job on comparing "not trusting corporations" to "not trusting people of color", because those are totally the same thing and comparable. Techpriest ^{(I am Alpharius! / / / )} 23:46, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

(ec) Are you actually this stupid? Do I need to explain that you can compare things without equating them? Are you:

1. stupid,
2. dishonest,
3. or both?

For the rest, there is no evidence that GMOs cause harm. I explained this to you and you still wanted mandatory labeling for no reason. Which, yeah, anti-GMO. Maybe you changed your mind, but that stance is anti-GMO, regardless of how much you say "I am pro-GMO". David Duke also precedes his anti-Semitic nonsense with "I am not an anti-Semite"; does that now make him not an anti-Semite?

1. No evidence of GR having violated the Community Standards. Guy shows up, he makes a few inoffensive comments, what gives? Unclear why due-process has been ignored. Since any ban enacted on this vote, would have been carried out against multiple provisions of the Community Standards, it may be perfectly justifiable to unblock him later... idiotic clown show. This entire affair resembles a Mob Court; complete with: fabricated evidence, factually incorrect accusations, rushing the start time against policy, rushing the vote end time against policy, blocking the defendant to prevent him defending himself, hiding the defence once posted, et al. I'd expect better than this, you may as well have not bothered and blocked him again straight-off, as this entire vote is essentially void per Community Standards. Absurd.

   As an aside, I would check out the evidence I posted (in this coop and my talk page) that Oxy lied publicly about her partner killing himself, lying also to your sister and everyone else. I suggested Z to cut any ties with Oxy because Oxy is legit a sociopathic emotional manipulatior and harmful to others.

   I think we already kinda did that. Ace^Moderator 20:01, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

   "give them pi-week ban". That was the status quo until about a day ago when Raven came back. Not worth trying again imo. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 20:09, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

   Okay, let me point out for all of those voting for lower punishment lengths that he left for two months and if anything was WORSE when he came back. If you think a pi-week bloc would solve the problem because it would give him time to think and he would come back a changed man then the evidence says you are wrong. He did not even wait for anyone to snap at him before he started flame-baiting, so you can't say "he was met with too hostile a reception and thus melted down".

2. I didn’t want this to take up space or attention in the votes, so I’m adding it here. I don’t know if I’m allowed to do collapses in the goat section, but if so, please do so; I want this to go on record, but I do not want it to draw attention or be discussed. Anyway. I didn’t feel confident expressing my actual opinion last time since I didn’t feel well-informed enough. The experience of the wiki without them, however, plus this one incident, more than confirms what I thought previously, so I just want to get it off my chest now. This user is toxic, malicious, and consistently makes editing here an overwhelmingly negative experience. I don’t think there is any justification for this kind of shit, and I sincerely hope that the votes to ban remain close to unanimous — not because I’m worried that it won’t pass (I feel like it obviously will), but because I feel like any significant dissent about this will force me to reevaluate the kind of place that this is. I say these things not because I think less of people who argued on this user’s behalf before (I’m still uncertain about a good chunk of that situation, it was definitely less cut and dry), nor even because I want to make this user feel bad or whatever (I don’t think that’s helpful, a good use of my time, or even particularly possible). I’m saying this mostly because, while I doubt many people on the wiki care what I think, it’s important to me in light of this particular incident, that nobody is mistaken about my feelings and intentions on the matter. 💙 ASELA^{និយាយ} 💙 12:52, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

   I voted against banning him last time, because they had been a useful and productive editor in the past and I felt (erroneously) that it was too much about some people with differing politics driving the ban. But after his most recent return, Raven has done literally nothing except trolled talk pages and personally insulted various users. Even Nobs and LT try to guise their trolling as partisan political hackery. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about GR's behavior here. He's just here to be an abusive prick.

   Fortunately it's pretty clear by now that he'll be banned. I don't think I've ever seen a coop vote that is as big of a landslide for banning someone as this before (and I used to read coop archives for entertainment years before actually starting to edit here). Knight Commander^{In Service}_{To Her}^Goatness 13:23, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

   [EC] Yeah that’s completely fair! Although I changed to abstain, I also initially voted to not ban as well, bc I thought it wasn’t a good idea to come to a decision while the community standards vote was happening. When I talk about justifying “this kind of shit”, I specifically mean these types of actions rather than their behaviour as a whole or whatever — specifically, I mean people who would say things like that action XYZ wasn’t actually bad because of some other factor. Of course, the argument that it wasn’t enough of a pattern, that there were sometimes/often mitigating circumstances, that they were useful to the wiki as a whole, stuff related to the rules etc are all perfectly reasonable arguments, even if I disagree with most of them. I also want to make it VERY clear that I’m very much talking in the context of this particular situation — as said, I still don’t know enough to say confidently whether my suspicions were justified the last time around (though they ended up being true, I can’t say for certain whether it would be correct to say that back when the last vote was happening).

   All that being said, it wasn’t really my intention to cast judgement on ANYONE involved in that particular vote anyway, and I was kind of just trying to make a rhetorical flourish to really emphasise my main point, which is that I think this incident is so far beyond the pale that I think it’s very important that the wiki is unified in telling GR to bugger off. I also want to say that I am sorry for making it sound like an attack or judgement or anything else, because I don’t actually think anything bad about you or most people involved in the vote, and I especially don’t want to hurt, insult or upset anyone in that regard. I kind of want to edit my comment to make that clearer, but I also think there’s a general stigma about editing comments in a way that could be misleading? If it’s okay with everyone else, though, I think I will do that now, and if not, please feel free to revert.

   As an addendum, I think that I will just take the initiative to collapse this one myself, and again, if anyone disagrees, feel free to revert. 💙 ASELA^{និយាយ} 💙 14:19, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

   Don't worry Asela, I didn't take your initial comment as going after me or others who made the wrong judgement back then. I simply wanted to make clear that I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, and I was wrong in that. By that point, he clearly should have lost any and all benefit of the doubt. I was wrong. I'm voting with vengeance to rectify my earlier mistake and to bring an end the harm to this wiki that it has caused and continues to cause.

2. GR isn't a sysop anyway. I doubt anyone wants to make him one either. Should this coop result in ban (as seems likely right now), any attempt to give him sysop would be contravening that coop resolution and could be quickly undone (and we could also take issue with whomever gave him the mop). I think this is unnecessary for the moment. Knight Commander^{In Service}_{To Her}^Goatness 20:15, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Sysoprevoke doesn't mean we take away Sysop. It means that the mop can never be returned, permanently. We have new users all the time, and a year from now if a new sysop decides to mop GR the user wouldn't be able to. CoryUsar (talk) 17:16, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

GR was once Sysop, so Sysoprevoke is meaningful. Bongolian (talk) 18:26, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

I'd still argue it's symbolic. He isn't sysop now, I'd be surprised if anyone would make him one again and even if that happened, it could be quickly undone by another sysop or a mod. But I moved to vote for sysoprevoke because I hate the guy. Symbolic or not, it's cathartic at the very least. Knight Commander^{In Service}_{To Her}^Goatness 18:33, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

As GR noted, this vote was started prematurely ("Any vote started within 48 hours of filing will be deleted and you will be blocked."), however that is a statement at the top of this page. It is not actually in the RationalWiki:Community Standards, so it has no consequence in this case. The community standards do however stated, "Both policy votes and penalty votes must last between seven and fourteen days." So, the vote should stay open for 7 days minimum.

As to GR creating a new account after what appears likely to be a permaban, yes, that's theoretically possible. But GR would have to completely avoid reference to GR and not act in such a way as to indicate that she/he is GR. I would also like to caution GR not to engage in fights or be disruptive until the vote ends. If you do, GR, I will block you and put you in Sysoprevoke until the vote ends. Yes, there is precedent for this. Bongolian (talk) 20:06, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, I apologize Bongolion. I will now adorn myself with the Cone of Shame. Wait, do we have some template to admit stupid? There's the wet trout. Maybe the stop being silly thingy.

No problem, CoryUsar. Bongolian (talk) 20:49, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

The cone of shame has been collecting dust and I think it is full of water damage. Maybe we should just buy a new one? ShabiDOO 21:02, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Close (attempt 2)

Voting has now been open for 7 days (the minimum required by the Community standards) and the votes have been very one-sided. I move that this coop be closed and archived. --RWRW (talk) 21:53, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

I concur. I doubt 7 more days are changing the way the wind is blowing. Even those that suggested other punishments didn't vote against the perma. The votes are very lopsided on perma and sysoprevoke. I say it's time to put this issue to rest. Techpriest ^{(I am Alpharius! / / / )} 23:02, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Yeah I don’t think I’ve seen 19 votes to ban before. 🎄Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano🎄^{Ask about our holiday specials!} 23:28, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Give it another day or two to make sure it it considers the early start of the vote. As GR pointed out, the discussion should have gone for at least 48 hours before the vote began, so the vote should be extended accordingly. I just want this to be as official and by the book as possible. Knight Commander^{In Service}_{To Her}^Goatness 23:49, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

As Bongolian mentioned in the above section, the ‘48 hour’ rule is not currently on the Community Standards page so questions can be made about how official it is. After some tedious searching, I was able to trace the ‘48 hour’ rule back to this edit, which was seemingly removed from the Community Standards page here. At no point was 48 hours mentioned on the community standards page so I’m fairly certain it was plucked out of thin air without mob support. But, in the avoidance of accusations of voter suppression, I won't oppose keeping this open for another until 2 December. --RWRW (talk) 06:32, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘Well after reading that I don't really care if it gets closed sooner either. Feel free to ban and archive. Knight Commander^{In Service}_{To Her}^Goatness 09:16, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

So from what I can see, the wording started just as a "don't open votes prematurely". In that case, I would say that it's a coop guideline and should probably be reworded back to it's CS implementation, with perhaps a warning of "don't open a case with a vote", which seems to have been the intent. That said to avoid any bickering and future rules lawyering, I'm fine keeping the votes open until December 2nd just to ensure that GR gets a clean cutoff. Techpriest ^{(I am Alpharius! / / / )} 11:36, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

It would likely be best to keep the coop open until December second. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 14:55, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
