is there a tldr version of this for people who want to be mildly amused by this shitshow but also don't actually care enough to scroll back a page.

the current drama revolves around the users Sibylus (banned), A.By (angry about the ban) and Poodlestrike (mod who acts like a bish but is treated like a bitch)
Sibylus posted this in the community constructive criticism thread (not visible to users without an era account):
Fuck civility and fuck your approach to managing this place. Until you fundamentally change that, you're going to continue to let us down, drive us away, and be conned by people blowing the slightest whiff of smoke up your asses. Every promise of better has been dashed, and your failures are getting WORSE. Get fucking real, all of you. Or get out of the way.
a week after this post was made, Sibylus was banned with the listed reason "does not want to be here"
which is both not up to the professional level of ban reason standards, and completely true
era users constantly pulling faces saying "I-I almost don't want to post here anymore with all the mistreatment of my group" and for once the mods said

A.By
flipped the fuck out and started making threads and spreading the word of the mistreatment of Sibylus who was apparently a member of trans era (uh oh) and pointed out the suspicious nature of this ban happening randomly a week after it was posted like a sort of revenge ban swept under the rug
users started adding "Note: this post critical of the forum is not a request to be banned" as their signatures under every post
A.By continued to hound the mods about the ban in PMs, until the fateful moment:

A.By found this message course and rough and irritating, and while Poodlestrike thought better of it and tried to edit it out, he was too late before it got everywhere
and then the forum was in (minor) open revolt as a bunch of users flipped out on the mods and started posting "
POODLESTRIKE RETIRE BITCH," and somewhere in the range of 6 to 9 prominent era members got their sand pounded for harassing the staff, who seemed to suddenly grow a backbone

Fuck being civil if you're going to tell trans people to pound sand. If you hand in that ban as your résumé, the old site'll surely welcome you back with open arms.
a series of polite replies to Poodlestrike's well-received explanatory postshironredshift wrote
incredibly long impassioned screedssmart trolls like excelsiorlef, banshee mcspook and kyuuji stayed away from the drama until they were sure they could claim a ban-proof high ground
even all this was not the end of the drama, as users started comparing the mods' actions to police subjugation of Black people and using MLK's letters to express how they felt...and the BCT said
miss me with that shit and got a
few other users banned
