continued this for a very long time. They used bots for this and mass created thousands of accounts that they held on ice to use later, it was a real moderation pain. It was possibly the most persistent wrecker campaign I've seen against any site, ever. So they get some points of respect from me purely for that. It went on for so long.

Yes tagline, I was there for that, it was WEIRD.

NO KERRYPOSTING

Acknowledging kerryposting is a form of kerryposting itself and therefore verboten

    Worst part about this is that it keeps us from telling John Kerry jokes. Can't make fun of weird things from the 2004 election.

    Wait, they were wreckers? Always thought they were shitposters.

    Yeah they were wreckers from discord, which one I don't remember, or what their original grievance with hexbear was.

    The OGs were two wreckers who had a beef with... I think Quill? Some bullshit claims about non-sexual chibi furry art that Quill drew for a friend being lolicon. That's about as much as I was able to piece together back then because god damn, that Discord was a shitshow.

    Easily. Nothing else even comes close.

    as ridiculous as the silver legion but with the animosity of the pronoun wars, that is some classic chapo dot chat lore

    I remember seeing it every so often. Was kinda funny 🤷. But I'm sure it was a pain for the mods 😞

    My apologies. That whole affair was my doing; however I have learned from my past behavior, resolved myself to be a better woman, and most importantly, have deleted all images of John Kerry from my hard drive.

  • I had to look this up to see the tagline.

    I spent many sleepless nights manually banning accounts as they flooded in. I watched the user list set to new and if I saw multiple accounts with the same name I was banning them, refreshing and banning again.

    I spent a week doing this while my friend created the auto mod Pavilchenko.

    Kerryposters did a huge number to my mental health and the hatred I got for misgendering someone a couple of times before someone pointed out my mistake probably kept me in the closet for a year longer.

    I just stopped using Chapo.chat for a couple of years after I stepped away from an admin position.
