I hereby crown @skibidist the new "Manifold's token right-wing voice" ( @MikeElias is technically more extreme but not very vocal)

@TheAllMemeingEye Guess I am next in line to get cancelled

@skibidist tbf based on our past conversations I'd say you are vastly more sane and reasonable compared to him, he pretty much went out of his way to get banned lol

if u want serious intellectual discussion u want people who will offer strong cases for unpopular views

manifold markets decided that's not really its thing

@jim honestly his cases were pretty weak, just entertainingly villainous

@jim I think he inspired a lot of discussions and I really don't think any of them were either serious or intellectual

I recognise that the council has made a decision, and given that it was a reasonable-ass decision I have elected to accept it

gg

This was 100% entrapment.

@Predictor this is not the State, mods are not cops, please don't compare a private forum to the government.

@Predictor the clever entrapment

@LiamZ lol yeah Bayesian went out of his way to provide an out but he refused to take it, arguably I myself sort of did semi-entrapment with the slurs comment but he didn't take that bait, so in the end no entrapment took place, the defense rests

Good riddance.

Never been this happy to lose mana

awaiting official confirmation from @SirSalty that blankspace was band

at the moment it could have just been a rogue moderator trolling, or perhaps that blankspace deleted his account (it still shows up as "banned" on one's profile when one does that).

@jim sirsalty confirmed

@jim I can confirm SirSalty banned him.

@Eliza any comment on length of ban?

@jim No idea.

@jim who exactly do I write to ask it to be permanent?

NOOOOO how is bayesian so fast

@copiumarc I got the scoop from the jimothy’s mouth

@Bayesian my limits... wouldve made like 6k more mana... im coping

@Bayesian a couple follow-up questions:

1. Why is your profile picture in the screenshot some renaissance dude (presumably Bayes?) yet your profile picture as viewed by others is a rocket ship?

2. Was the banning unilateral by another mod or was it a group decision?

@TheAllMemeingEye

1. That's from the discord

2. The banning was from SirSalty

@bagelfan ah thanks 👍
