I've tried to convince them to block each-other, Jason and socks, but they never listen. I just quit trying eventually. I blocked actuallynot the other day, when it became obvious he was just trying to waste my time (along with a few other trolls).

I don't know about socks, but actuallynot would definitely come back with an army of alt accounts.

Blocking socks won't stop him from ruining SaidIt for everyone, including my local friends who I'm trying to bring here. Ignorance is bliss, but ignorance via blocking is no excuse. Intentionally being blind to the abuses is intentionally setting SaidIt up for failure.

Socks is perpetually breaking the rules.

Yes they're obviously timesucks.

If we don't ban them, we'll never know if they'll come back in alts accounts - and ban evasion is a rule I guess but it's not on the FAQ (/u/d3rr ?). I've been unfairly banned TWICE - and neither of those rule-breakers has even been banned once.

But to be fair, your bans and retractions led to the demise of the cancer that's killing /b/ spring dramafest that caused somewhat of a user exodus to other sites. Although we're still waiting for the proverbial other shoe to drop when m7 decides what to do about saidit.

Don't blame me for trolls, closed management, management's no show, and the lack of rule enforcement, when they say they want evidence enough to ban them and don't follow through.

Going along to get along is the same bullshit that is going to bring in this vaccine passport bullshit.

A single post once a week for Spring Dramafest was nothing compared to the ongoing trolls, SJWs and Nazis. And a single post this Fall will not turn away people. The world has bigger issues and problems to deal with and I suspect that may be responsible for our numbers (which are on the rise after a dip actually - I looked at Alexa and the other one yesterday while updating the FAQ). Plus there may be more interesting new cohesive communities growing out there like Locals, Odysee, Communities.win, etc. I can only guess.

Yes, SaidIt's days are numbered regardless of M7. The old software may last 1 or 5 or 10 years, or more, but eventually the old code will no longer be supported and d3rr is not interested in transplanting it.
