Server hiccup. Couldn't post until now.
BV was removed for the mass banning. The notables aren't the main reason for removal. He was not C_A or a "Team of clowns" or JIDF as other anons have suggested, but was AFLB who was here from the beginning. The issue was that too many anons were taking the hit for the huge swaths of bans directed at clowns. When asked to stop, he wouldn't. This issue has gone on since the beginning of QResearch, and has been brought up by hundreds of legitimate patriots repeatedly and even the other staff members. Some of us have defended his actions as we've seen the great work he has done for us, but there is obviously no other way to stop the large number of bans happening every day to legitimate anons. Anons are banned simply for being in the wrong subnet, shill nor not, and are expected to use different VPNs or leave. The 1000+ IP hashes posted earlier puts most of you here on a shitlist.
We will still be keeping track of shill IP hashes and displaying them as we usually do. We will still be calling out the shills when we see them. Moderation will be focused on helping anons with things you need help with around the board (I know I've said that many times, I hear you), not on banning wrongthink and "potential shills" (anons on the "wrong" subnet).
Yes I know it sucks bringing up the board drama, so hopefully this post can wrap it up for the most part. Anons will still be hopping on to the board tonight wondering what's up.
AFLB is still welcome to help the patriot movement in anyway he can, as he has been since the early days. We will handle the board moderation.
You're an idiot.
