Probably not — most of the permissions are site by site.

That's part of the function of the platform. Every blog has an approved poster list, from the mainpage to the subblogs.

I legitimately just teared up reading that.

I didn't say 'appeal to me' I said, 'appeal to my bosses'. That's how it works. If you don't like it, I don't know what to say to you. And your question wasn't 'will you, Slay, abuse your power' it was "what is stopping the Jezebel staff from'. The answer to that question is "ask someone else to review the incident'.

Yes, yes, I get your point. You're super concerned about your own ability to post whatever you decide is a 'dissenting opinion' in whatever unfettered way you may wish to. Yes, you may end up getting banned for it. Yes, you might feel like it's unfair. It wouldn't matter if it was me or Jessica or Tracie or Steve or…

I was awfully pleased with the hashtag graveyards.

What I'm saying is that by the way they're created, you couldn't limit a burner to one site. Or one burner account.

Well, that's the million dollar question, right? Have they benefited from it? If it's really useful, how can the system be adapted to serve multiple needs?

Look, I'm sorry you're put out about being banned. But this post isn't about you, so maybe come back and grind your axe at me on some other occasion, ok?

You're missing the point. I'm glad you're offended. I'm glad you're an ally. I hope you're emailing Denton at this very moment. But this is pointedly and obviously directed at women, and as someone who has been dealing with this situation for months, and moderating here for years, I urge you to take my word on the…

I suppose that is a tactic, yes.

I have personally banned you before. I totally recognize your user name and I stand by it. GT is a feminist space. It has commenting guidelines. Those guidelines are posted. You're expected to adhere to them.

I think that it wouldn't be workable by definition. There's no way to prevent someone from making a new burner.

A number of reasons, including it being easy to circumvent, but I believe it's tied into the idea of having burners in the first place. It's not anonymous if their IP is being tracked.

None of those things are going on in my avatar, but thanks!

"No one is suggesting that you simply grow a thicker skin "

I'm not talking about IP bans. I don't think they're effective for a number of reasons. I am advocating for tools to deal with issue, it being taken seriously by the designers of the system, and a robust moderating team.

Just set up a throwaway account. There's a lot of people who set up gmails with (Kinjausername)@gmail.com. Easy peasy.
