@Amazoniac hi, blossom has already said that it's Charlie who has authority over her on all banning and moderation decisions if they disagree, it's him who has the final decision, so every ban that Charlie knows about and doesn't lift is a ban from Charlie
Hi!
Being a leader with privileges is not all flowers and they have to intervene not only when expedient. The disgrace is happening in front of her: is she sedated? Apathetic Melissa should be held accountable for her permissiveness for as long as she stays in command next to him by choice.
In an optimistic scenario where she would be revolting behind the scenes at the abusive practices and would have exhausted her resources trying to protect the community from reckless treatment, the least that our angel would do if her efforts were futile would be to renounce her position to not condone, claiming incapacity and misalignment of principles. Or the lion has authority over integrity too?
The window for her to show concern through actions has passed, changing her conduct only now would characterize opportunism if she senses that the ship may sink. Maybe the leader joins us when convenient, and with her access to exclusive information, she would be able to name a series of members to help us expand our list.
In any case, if you're aware of more ban instances going back to the creation of the forum, let us know.

The list is now updated with all the names shared here and in private. We barely started to uncover and it's already ridiculous.

Not sure why Mephisto has been spared when others got banned for making more benign comments than this
It's due to Charlie's authoritarianism. Mephisto was taunting Charlie with: "just ban me already you prick". Of course, though Charlie most likely did want to ban him, this itch was overridden by his desire to not take orders from anyone.
A similar thing happened when Impero gave him the following ultimatum:
"So, which is it?
Are you taking the True Man of Honor and Integrity Way? (Posting your secret screenshot)
Or the easy way out? (Dropping the hammer)"
To which he replied "both", overriding not only his isolated desire to simply ban Impero, but also his previous decision to not share more proof. He couldn’t simply ban impero because that would have meant yielding power to Impero's ultimatum. In order to avoid this, he had to additionally go against his own word and show proof despite previously saying that he won't do it.
I think this suggests that Charlie cares more about power than personal integrity.
Update: I am now banned too as a result of this post.

Got banned for saying this:
I wasn't even trolling, I've been taking 15mg of copper daily for months and have only seen benefits.I guess having an experience antithetical to the forum owner's narrative is a bannable offense now.

@TheSir well mephisto, who is definitely not me, is banned now too because of your comment, seems like your analysis was perfect. I was not banned this morning before you posted that!
-
@Barghest Ha, my apologies. It does seem like banning you was an attempt to invalidate the analysis. Yet by banning you just to invalidate the analysis, he inadvertently affirmed its conclusion: that he will always choose the action that is least damaging to his sense of power and control. In other words, he couldn't stand the accuracy of the analysis so he attacked it using the exact method the analysis highlighted.

iPeat got banned in the “Mr Mercola” incident

Weren't all of you paying to use the forum? Surely he can't legally ban all of you, especially for simple disagreements or posts on other forums. Seems dangerously close to theft or fraud.
-
@VehmicJuryman No anyone who was there before he started charging was grandfathered in.
-
@TheSir It's a testament to your eloquence and tact that you were able to last so long. I had been enjoying reading your subtle jabs at Charlie. Congratulations on being banned.
