One benefit of allowing advertising of these campaigns (that will become clearer from the ban forward) is the force of good practice on services by holding reputation as collateral in exchange for advertising.

I've seen many scamming mixers over the years. Until recently, I didn't realize some mixers may just be created by non-scamming bad guys in need of good people looking for privacy. I can't be certain which mixers fall in which category, but by now I think it's likely both exist.
I also considered Bitcointalk the place to be to find honest mixers. It's weird though: that could mean a honest mixer is ran by what some governments consider to be criminals.

It's a moot point and an ongoing battle. As said in OP, there's no doubt that you can't win with mixers. They're either good people for freedom and privacy, with bad people using them and ruining it for legitimate users, or bad people running them and using others to hide coins...the ratio, unknown.
It's not something that's purely bad or good either way. You're always going to have good users using what they think are legitimate mixers. Those good people are the ones I am hoping will make use of the CS & P board if theymos decided to add it.

To top it off we have a staff member who acknowledges the following:

Instead of offtopic and trolling, better do some forum research if you're so interested.

But who does not take action on this, such as deleting the ridiculous off topic garbage replies from Shenanigan on the subject.

"Staff" members can't delete posts. Xal0lex is a Moderator on his own boards, not on Meta.

BenCodie, please change the thread title to something like: "Discussion, LoyceV powers on the forum."

The off-topic troll is welcome to spam LoyceV's reputation thread.
I've deleted my post responding to the troll. I should have known better.

I'll be making a new self-moderated topic if a moderator doesn't remove the obvious spam

You can't do that in Meta.

That's a damn shame. I guess the trash just has to remain then. It's a little bit ridiculous though.

The title of this topic is a little misleading as I initially thought that it had something to do about the mixer ban.

I thought the same. That probably didn't help in staying on-topic.

It definitely didn't indicate to discuss loycev's permissions on the forum and things about user bans.
