This forum has been corrupted by money and powerabusive people. I'm leaving

Let's go in order:


- P1ngpong constantly harassed me on IRC, insulting me and my dead mother. After telling him to stop multiple times and asking @Costello for help (he just added him to the conversation and left) I put him on ignore so I could stop dealing with his insults. He banned me from IRC. After that I complained to the staff and they told me to fuck off. Everything is still in my PMs.


- After leaving the forums for a few years due to this, I decided to come back hoping that the forums were changed. P1ngpong was still a dickhead to people that just entered the chat to ask a question.


- The forum was doing average until the staff put a Patreon to gain money out of user-based content and bribe people into gambling. I expressed my concerns to the staff but received no feedback


- The staff starts treating patreon "premium" users better with flaming posts not being moderated, because they are filling the staff's pockets


- After a post about the Nintendo Switch I get attacked and receive multiple death threats over Discord. Not only the staff doesn't give a fuck, but they protected all the Patreon members. No one got banned or suspended after that


- I occasionally still get attacked by these people and no one bats an eye because they are premium members. I have reported a few cases lately, the staff has always replied with "it's his opinion" (of calling me a cunt? Nice) and the posts weren't deleted



These reasons are why I'm leaving the forums. I'm sorry for the users that I care about, but the staff's corruption has been unbearable. You will still see me online sometimes, but that's only to delete my posts that the staff is making money off. Don't expect me to post anywhere. I'm done here.

I'm sure some user will try to derail this thread as best as they can to protect their interests. Do as you please, I have faith in the actually smart side of the users.

@Darkyose meaning they can make mistakes too, so y'know, we can stop bashing them now.

@insidexdeath I see your point however, the fact he made it a public blog post invites people to comment and judge on this situation. He would've kept it to himself and tried dealing with it within the people it involves if he didn't want to cause such a stir. He didn't, so this happened. gg wp.

Eh. See, I feel for the guy, because I feel as though he's being honest about the harassment (and I agree that some mods need to grow the fuck up), but despite their downfalls, they're still human, and they'll act as such. Overall, however, I think the mods as a whole, are doing a fantastic job here.
 
@Darkyose "intentional mistakes" now there's a phrase I never thought I'd hear. That defeats the purpose of mistakes.

and just for the record respect is earned, not just given and i think that is half of the issue.

Well, I for one don't believe a single thing he's saying any more. I actually listened to him in the beginning. But he has since proven to be a compulsive liar when it comes to a lot of stuff where I'm involved at least.

@Memoir how are we to decide what other people deserve? Just because he whines a lot, doesn't mean that ganging up on him is justified. The ignore/block button is an option on this forum for that reason. He shared a screenshot where he did try to get the staff involved, but it doesn't show the entire page, so I am assuming he did try to resolve it privately. There are far too many personal insults for someone to just let it go and 'move on'.

@vinstage He was clearly attempting to 'expose' people, and their bias towards certain members, which is evident. However, this kind of behavior from the staff was always present way before the Patreon became a thing. I understand that tbe staff aren't perfect. They're trying their best to moderate the forum, and provide content to users.

Furthermore, posting it for the public viewers does not justify people's behavior towards him. Oh well.. since he was banned, this unnecessary drama will come to an end soon.

@insidexdeath First of all, no one send any sort of threats to him via Discord in first place.
This was a pure lie and everyone knows that. For no reason, he selected me and StarTrekVoyager as the ones doing that which was already proven false by both of us.
Second, he really wanted the attention, expect that negative one. He's been bashing everyone here, from normal users to even owners of this site.
Third, he wasn't perfect either. He literally could pick fights with anyone, especially mods and admins.

So, before you blame us, get some sort of backstory first. No one is here to blame other than sneklord himself for ruining his own reputation towards whole community

No, he definitely got what he deserved. Tired of that "how are we to decide" shtick. He was an asshole right out of the gate.

Just one proof of many, read his quote above:
- I occasionally still get attacked by these people and no one bats an eye because they are premium members. I have reported a few cases lately, the staff has always replied with "it's his opinion" (of calling me a cunt? Nice) and the posts weren't deleted
I replied with "it's his opinion" ONE time. And this is a screenshot of it.

@Memoir to each to their own I guess. I thought a different approach to this might've been a better solution. Hell I would've been fine with banning him from the start instead of resorting to personal insults. That kind of behavior is never acceptable. Just because he was an asshole as you claim, doesn't mean any of you should be assholes to him.

@Felek666 I never said it's the truth. However, since I do not know any of the members here much, I cannot judge on who's telling the truth, and who isn't. I was speaking from a neutral perspective, that's all.

According to his previous blog post, both parties were equally at fault, Vipera, and the people against him. The only staff whom I saw who handled the situation with maturity was Raulpica (not sure if the username is spelt correctly).
 
So, can we start talking about something new now? Like porn or waffles? You know, something that would make everyone happy and not bitchy? :)

@Thirty3Three
Wrong time for that tho. Come back with pancake maker.
@insidexdeath
If you don't know anyone, how come that you're able to tell which sides are at fault?
That's like buying a PC because maker says it's the most powerful PC in the world, when it's exactly otherwise. Who you gonna believe? PC maker or a member which knows better?
