Wacky times at gundam00!
This wank takes place under locks in a community which is available to join without moderation. Most of it has been deleted anyway, but there are caps! Delicious, delicious caps.

Over at lj comm gundam00, an announcement is made regarding the series being licensed. There is little wank in this post, but what there is comes from resident mod, bucue: http://community.livejournal.com/gundam00/197889.html?thread=2715393#t2715393

Bucue, unable to just comment on the issue, makes a mod post telling others to respect each others viewing choices, while simultaneously bashing the dub and doing it in a way that makes people uncomfortable:

Now, this post originally had many more comments, which ranged from polite disagreement, slight offense, to snark, and even trolling. Doing what he does best, bucue screens and/or deletes all comments of disagreement, and bans most of the people who had replied to the post, including this person: (http://community.livejournal.com/gundam00/198352.html?thread=2723024#t2723024), whose comment was later unscreened (without bucue's response in return which was basically "cry moar") with spectacular backtracking by the mod. Caps here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/97fcc6

People are pissed, and two of them decide to troll the comm by spamming unrelated fanfic and icons. These posts are deleted almost immediately.

Another post is made by bucue blaming others who had nothing to do with the spamming, the text being:
"If you see the community being spammed let me know, I'll clean it up.

Just so you guys are aware, the people doing it are all former staff of the Zeonic corps translation group and are the mods of gundamseed, some of them are also to do with gundam_00.

Don't start drama in their community, I'm just pointing out who they are, I don't wish for anyone to go attack their communities and if you do so you will be banned from here."

Comments of this post range from "...that isn't what happened, the spammers admitted to it" to calls for bucue to step down as a mod due to his immaturity, and even a light-hearted friending meme to break from the drama.

...of course, these comments are all deleted, and everyone is banned again. Even those trying to politely reason with him and those only participating in the friending meme. Caps and html here: http://lionheart.actionhalo.net/gundam00banning/

After this, around three or four posts are made to the comm, asking for explanations and ranting against bucue, but he deletes them on sight and leaves us with this new journal entry:

"I've had just about enough of this community for one night. I've spent several hours trying to clean up after a bunch of idiots. Apparently a joke is not allowed any more of the entire fandom throws it's self off a cliff screaming their nuts off.

People were banned for fanning the flames and making things worse. Many had made perfectly acceptable comments with valid points, but later decided to get involved in the wank. I've had enough of it for one life time, so any wank posts I saw just got deleted, if the offender had repeatedly done it they got banned. Many of the people complaining are just alt accounts of people causing wank, apparently they need 15 accounts for god knows what reason so I dealt with it.

If you had issues send me a message on here or IM me, I'll talk to you directly and avoid this wank. The posts will be unlocked and unscreened tomorrow when this drama has cooled down.

Any one banned will be reviewed tomorrow by myself and the other mod and we will decide if the ban deserves to stand or not. If you made a worth while contribution to the community then you will most likely be unbanned, if you were just trolling then you won't.

ANY TOPICS ABOUT THIS WILL BE DELETED ON SIGHT. Everyone go get a cup of tea and calm down, it's a community about cartoon robots, why the hell have we spent a Friday evening getting into arguments over nothing?"

There is a post made to the other Gundam 00 comm, gundam_00 in response to bucue's allegations:

Things seemed to have calmed down for now, due to bucue's tendency for deleting any and all disagreement. But it will almost certainly get bigger as the naysayers keep coming out of the woodwork.
