In light of user Wisconcom’s community Hoxhaism (created using an alternate account named Ouisconkom), and the anti-China/anti-Mao sectarianism that permeates the rhetoric of the community. It has come to our attention that some members of the community are unhappy with this sort of content being allowed.

In the past, we’ve removed other Ultra-leftists, such as Patriotic Socialists, for their sectarianism. And some of the admins feel this might be a time to do that again.

Lemmygrad’s success depends on transparency and communication between the user base and the admins, so we would like the Lemmygrad community to tell us how they feel about this possible issue.

    the community which currently only consists of them as both the only contributor and the only moderator gives me the impression that they really are just ban evading, and using their community so we (the admins) can’t simply give them the banhammer again for spouting highly sectarian (and frankly untrue) rhetoric about China, without needing to make a post like this.

    I don’t think I fully understand this: are you unable to ban a user if they’re the creator of a community or something?

    Further: is/should public deliberation over deleting a community be necessary when it was created by an individual who, on account of being banned, should not have been able to create a community here, and was only able to do so by ban evading?

      we could just ban them, nothing is really stopping us from doing it. But for anti-sectarianism within Marxism, the best course of action is to ask the LG community how they feel and act accordingly. If this community could be redirected to following the site rules, then there’s no reason for us to need to remove it.

      On Wisconcom’s ban evasion though, if they’re willing to change their behaviour and stop being problematic we’re willing to let them stay. However, at the current moment they are very close to being rebanned. If they don’t correct themselves, they’ll be removed.
