It should be noted for the record that Kiwi Farms has had a longstanding 'no touch' rule, usually displayed prominently at the top of every page. (It appears to be currently replaced by the admin notifications whilst the site deals with the current state of events.)

Much like the old site Portal of Evil, another best-of-the-worst aggregator from the early internet, making on-site trolling/harassment plans is a great way to get your account banned very quickly ... or becoming a thread topic yourself.

KF seems to be the forum equivalent of the “I’m not touching you” game.

We (and cloudflare) are morally allowed to read between the lines.

Then don't whine when other people read between the lines regarding your authoritarian proclivities, and consequently do everything they can to frustrate your aims.

And yet, people are "touched." I wonder how that happens...

Because touching or "I'm not touching you" generates content and engagement. It's basic social media stuff any 10yrold can understand. Playing the I'm not touching you game is content creation - they are the same. It's part of the social media incentive loop.
