If we don't take measures, an entire TPT community will be there.

    Going back to TPT, it is hard to overstate just how awful Valerius_Paipikus and related crew were. I avoid talking about it much because I'd like to put it behind me, but tons of innocent users saw the saves they uploaded, and there is just no defending that. Thankfully it's stopped now. I get lots of questions about foxenterteinment being banned, and I answer them if anyone asks, but anyone who actually knows what Valerius_Paipikus did would never mourn their loss at a grave.

    This is nothing like 1984 (that said, I haven't actually read the book). You are free to think what you want here. Maybe a better comparison would be the confederate statue controversy in the US right now. Do we memorialize historical figures that were part of the confederacy? My answer would definitely be no.

    @jacob1 The main idea of this save is not to memoralize perm-banned users but to support TPT users who are still active otherwise they'll leave TPT and expand the cemetry. The thing these users were banned is not the reason to scratch them off from our memories. That smells like Nineteen Eighty-Four with its "unpersons" and "thoughtcrimes". They did it big so let them be there, and memoralize them or not is the everyone's choice that is manifested in comments.

    I demoted this save now, for the below reasons. Also, just wanted to mention I'm having a hard time reading the darker gravestones.

    Users come and go over time. This is just what happens in a game that spans 10 years, community members dont stay forever. This is my biggest problem with the save. But also, I don't appreciate memorializing two users who were perm banned for completely abhorrent behavior. Their goal was actually to be perm banned. In addition, a 3rd one was regularly bullied off the game by the two that were banned + others. The last 3 (2 actually) are still around, they just don't make saves anymore.

    a lot of these people were actually banned for doing things they weren't supposed to be like racism
