Hello users of TFTV. I would like to have a talk about something very serious on this website we call home. Our website is being hurt by the abusive admins that watch over us.
I am speaking, of course, about the recent perma-ban of our dear friend pankeyman.
Earlier today, in the thread designed to come up with a name for one user's new born nephew, pankeyman suggested the name "elliot." If you all remember correctly, Elliott is the a well known user in our community, albeit one that has not posted within the last month. However, upon questioning his ban, he was met with the following response:

presnidone obammer nede skwad: Bringing up Anders Brevik as a hero
presnidone obammer nede skwad: bringing up Elliot Rodgers as a hero
presnidone obammer nede skwad: I'm done feeding you attention I will talk to you more about it if you paypal me $10

Now those of you that follow Pankey's posting will know that he previously was banned for a month for a post that supposedly idolized people such as Anders Brevik or Elliot Rodgers. However, he did his time, and his posting has been clean. Anyone on this site can check for themselves and see it. I myself posted "adolf" in the thread several hours before Pankey posted. Do I deserve to be banned? For suggesting a name for a new born infant? Why should Pankey?
presnidone obammer nede skwad: No racism or bigotry is allowed.
rac·ism
ˈrāˌsizəm/Submit
noun
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
big·ot·ry
ˈbiɡətrē/
noun
intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself.
Youre telling me that our admins saw the suggestion of a name for a child as something that discriminated against non whites because pankey thinks whites are better? Pankey isnt a racist. Anyone who has seen his posts can attest to this.
And bigotry? Really? You ban and censor someone for saying something you dont like, and then have the gall to say that pankey is breaking the rules for "intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself."
What a fucking joke.
Are you saying that pankey is banned for his previous offenses? I would assume the administration of this site are above things such as double jeopardy.
Theres an argument to be made that such powerful political topics hold no place in a team fortress 2 forum. Or that they shouldnt be discussed outside of corresponding sub forums.
But dont try and take some moral high ground under the pretense of rules. Dont quote them to the offender and then do something as asinine as demanding money for further discussion.
There is a serious problem in this community when recommending a baby name is a bannable offense.
If you dont want pankey on this website, have the balls to say it to his face. But this farce is ridiculous.
Thank you.

I am in full support of your cause THEBILLDOZER. TFTV has become a place of abusive power and petty drama. We need to return to a time where the shitposters are free, and the general populous could just ignore it. These new TFTV admins are a disgrace to the TF2 community, and a disgrace to their website.

Stop the unjust banning of forum posters.

@OP: So your main complaint is that his admiration of the mass-murderer Elliott Rodger was mischaracterized as racism instead of violent misogyny? That's not a very compelling argument for his unbanning...

i'm sure you're all great in real life.. maybe you're not, but i'm tired of all your shit online honestly, and of the people posting similar shit

keep it in the garbage, leave, go back to r/theredpill, whatever. what's the age cut-off for this type of shitposting? for real

i guess if you're 16 people will just have to put up with you, but some of you are in your 20's

I'm not sure how much this is a meme so this is what I had to deal with.

When someone asks me to convince them that killing dozens of children isn't a good thing I just assume that person is too retarded or too much of a troll to take seriously at all.
