any help you could give us in expediting this process (for instance, by turning off the downvote pings so our mods can actually function normally)

Fuck off. You started it with coming to a site that took you in AND FUCKING BANNING USERS.

We never wanted to interfere with the normal day-to-day operations of your site.

You lying sack of shit.

We’re not here to take over or to tell you how to think.

Which is why you didn't ban anyone right? right? oh yeah, oops, my bad, I got caught and I didn't think you'd catch me so now I'm sorry.

Point is: we want to do right by you guys,

Now you do.
