I was banned from the Wikipediocracy forum after unmasking a pro-CCP doxxer

There is a sudden fracas involving me and the forum which got me abruptly ejected from the latter.

First of all, regarding a multi-years long doxxing situation I was able to pinpoint the perp to a globally banned user in NY, who got some interesting pro-CCP comments on X, after analyzing various indicators including writing styles.

The perp is globally banned by the Wikimedia Foundation, presumably for doxxing, years ago from what I can tell, although many alleged that her ban was unjust. But when I post some of the findings on a private area on Wikpediocracy forum, I found myself getting heckled by some who accused me of “promoting baseless conspiracy theories” despite not being the case (anymore) given what’s compiled so far. To be frankly honest I did withhold some of the findings because the last time I was “fully transparent” there, a naughty admin took it as “beans stuffed up on the noses” and mucked up the situation. Not to mention legal reasons since the SanFranBanned user was allegedly engaging in identity impersonation and network intrusion to evade her SanFranBan and now the NYPD is reportedly investigating it.

I calmly asked one of the hecklers at WPO to put me on his forum account ignore list if he doesn’t like my postings much since I got forewarned by an admin of the forum, that I shall not provoke him too much since he got cancer. All I got instead from him was a vile curse for me to “die horribly” until another admin locked the thread discussing the findings, and I thought this is the end of it.

A day after the account was placed “under mod discussion” which entailed initially a 7-day ban, then switched to a permanent one under the reason “The quality and tone of your postings is not what we desire on this forum” despite me having emailed support@wikipediocracy.com asking for appeal while nothing was received from the email address all along. The ban reason looks as specious as Wikipedia’s “NOTHERE” block.

If the appeal attempts are unsuccessful it’s safe to say that Wikipediocracy has indeed enshittified by mob rule, particularly by pro-Wikipedia hecklers, and thus the biggest safe zones on the Internet to discuss Wikipedia’s issues would be X, Reddit’s /r/watchwikipediadie sub (which is getting revived by some including WillyNilly) and the WS forum.
