A bunch of people got amnesty on their time outs and immediately proceeded to ramp up their obnoxious behavior to levels I don't think I've seen here in 12 years. But they forgot that they could still get stuck in suspension limbo, though, and would depend on the people who run this place to take them out of that penalty box.

..oops.

Not everyone on that list, not even entirely people from one "side"- but the folks I call the "transparency page all-stars" have been on a tear since the amnesty thing came down. Some of them figured out not to get a couple hides in a row, so they're still at it.

I personally am not big on excessive censorship and I actually think the jury system worked o.k. up until primary season, but I get that admin here are ready to change course with the way things are handled, and I can't say I blame them one bit.
