OK, this is big. Bookmark it because this is the double-down of all the mismanagement of REEE.
He had a meltdown last week when he stepped down from his golden throne to put a regular user in his place after calling out a mod for a non response. That in itself was noticeable.
Now we seem to have a zero tolerance of "Dog whistles" "Arguing in bad faith" and whatever word salad warns they usually give out. This follows a noticable period of a few months where they have tried to give out more warns instead of bans, shorter bans and extended the 3-4 strikes and your out period.
What I think is happening is Daddy Isamu Fukui is wondering where his return on his investment is after looking at that forums ever declining income and has bitch slapped his kid to sort it out. It was mentioned at that start that money was loaned to set REE up and I'm sure EL could have an educated guess at how much that must have been. REE only exists to flip it in the hopes that "they" (Isamu Fukui AKA Cerium) could quickly get that 6 figure sum that EL was offered at peak GAF.
How's that fast growth been working out for you?
