Where is Gatekeeper when you need him?...
I think permanent ban without any recourse is just too significant to be imposed by a single moderator. Just saying.
Yes, please Gatekeeper is a valuable contributor especially in Hong Kong matters. He has always been civil in his postings, and the "infraction" weren't really that malignant, it was more like a mistake to me. I think there is definitely at least a discussion to be had to allow Gatekeeper to continue to contribute to this forum. Just my opinion.
Bring back @Gatekeeper!
My sentiments as well.
@Gatekeeper is no fake news troller or flamebaiter.
His fault if as stated by @daifo is true, is a common weakness for a lot of us.
I feel his long years of contributions to this forum would go a long way to mitigate his errors.
Anybody here know of a way to poll how many would like to have @Gatekeeper permanent ban commuted to 3 months?
There is (was?) a certain forum member who was well known for sparring with Gatekeeper who had made a comment to me that "CCP's poverty alleviation was just a mirage", all fake. Really ticked me off by insinuating that a charity that friends of my family run was a joke because it's not dedicated to the destruction of the evil communist party.
Yes #ResurrectGatekeeper.
The ban was done in haste and likely prejudicial by select moderator.
Still do not get reason why the ban was harsh and swift for a minor infringment.
Where is Gatekeeper to provide insights to this topic?
PLEASE UN-BAN Gatekeeper.
Not even sure if the ban was justified for posting social media post when so many here also do the same.
Just my opinion, prob should give 12 months ban to senior members rather than perm ban. At that point, a member is unlikely trolling but just reading too much social media and suffering from some emotional outburst
He got perma-banned for being too based. I miss him and his matter-of-fact attitude. SinoDefenceForum hasn't been the same since he left.
I wish Gatekeeper was here because I know he would be posting every comment on there in the funny stuff thread. Lmao
Gatekeeper was banned unfortunately. We've had a lot of news posts about how the new Hong Kongers have been treated over here. Personally, I recall seeing one playing an instrument on a city centre market street for money.
@WebMaster , could you?
I hope @Gatekeeper is still here to explain this, a taste of their owned medicine? are these the recent arrived HKG immigrant being targeted?
@siegecrossbow @Blitzo @Webmaster
