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.

You can't judge Vipy, nor anyone involved, based off of JUST his blogs. You're missing the months of trashtalking he has done to -everyone-, and that's especially the staff. PMing them, and publicly trashing them for the dumbest, most petty reasons. Staff were his personal guard. They lived to serve his everywhim and report. Seriously, that's how he acted. But he was given about a million chances. Vipy's last blog was the straw that broke the camels back. Their replies were more for us than anything, having to deal with Vipy being pandered to all this time, and finally they weren't taking his garbage any more. I'd actually say I disagree with how Raul was attempting to handle it, but for the sake of my warning level I wont say much more.

Overall if you were actually knee deep in snek, you'd fully understand the last blog, and everyone in it. It was Vipy's own fault. He pushed and pushed, and when mods gave him an inch, he just bit the hand trying to help him. Every time.

Although I can't asume you're lying, I can't asume you're telling me the truth.
Perhaps p1ngpong is just the type of guy who likes crude/black humor.
Another stereotype is that users of (certain) age are immature. Although
this can be true, it doesn't always apply to everybody.

@dAVID_ let's just dismiss p1ng out of it and focus on main stuff.
 
@DaVID_
P1ng is P1ng. You wont understand him or the respect he commands if you're new here. Dude did what needed to be done, and said what needed to be said. He was a great mod. Probably the best we had. I don't think he's the type of dude who censors himself. He's also former staff, so tbh he doesn't need to be as formal as mods. Though really I think mods needing to be overly formal is BS. It's much nicer when mods are actual humans and not just robots who clean up the forums mess.

@Hells Malice,

While I agree, They're still in a certain "position". Just as you wouldn't go up to your boss and be like, "Yo, what up fuckwad? Totally just drank a shitton before work!"

There's a fine line that I think mods need to 'not' pass.
 
Good Christ that's awful I know how you feel people are other jerks on the temp sometimes when I ask a stupid question I get harassed for it I can get I could be a little naive sometimes still people are so nasty really disgusting and I didn't know about the corrupt staff I'll have to ask my one reporter friend about it that's really awful I'm so sorry the Discord people are a little bit better
 
I haven't seen any mods acting unbefitting of their role, so i'm not sure why it would be an issue to bring up.
Obviously they can't be memey shitposters.

Also Issac, i'm sad I can't like my own reply

@Dominator211 Yeah, welcome to the Internet, enjoy your stay. You just have to learn to take it lighter and not as a personal attack because we're all just people behind screens until of course you get more personal but that's a different matter.

Is it bad that the wicked witch is dead music from the wizard of Oz started playing in my head when I first saw vipera was banned?

Oh well, this is starting to derail more and more. The main character in this story isn't even here to protect himself, so I guess it's time to lock this up soon. I'll leave it open for any questions a while longer.

@Hells Malice: Unfortunately staff members are forced to act like people without feelings a lot of the time because some people take any kind of emotion as a sign of weakness or favoritism against others.

I'll conclude this drama by saying the ban of Snek is the best thing that happened to GBATemp since the ban of hacksn5s4.
