I'm telling you, if there are good users on that list it's just because they want to prove they aren't a loony cult, not because those users had anything to do with them.
What do you think that's a list of?

Because it's a list of people who lost access to CE in the last 3 days.

You don't know that poster then. He absolutely would be on the side of SMIB and Smogoon.

Im not on anybody's side. Been on gamefaqs a long time and im excited to see it be more welcoming to newer users. Only good things can come from keeping the toxicity on one board and private.

Here's what you couldn't see.

He literally willingly gave the subreddit to Tails. People even provided receipts in the subreddit that he now conveniently closed down

And then a quoted post of yours
You cant de-mod yourself unless there is another mod to take over, so I freely gave it to Tails. It was basically his Reddit at that point anyhow. So I didnt try to fight it, I just wanted to rid my hands of it.

EDIT: Which does sound pretty contradictory no matter what way you look at it when compared to the first post of yours in this topic. Either they took it or you freely handed it over, it can't be both

Two separate instances. Not the same one. I gave it away to tails in 2022 because I couldnt moderate it and honestly didnt care that much. I wanted to be rid of it.

I took it back this summer when they basically turned into a full blown hate group (I felt responsible in a way), then when I cleaned it up and was preparing to hand it off Tails de-modded me.

Like thats there description almost. Use this sub to harass people you dont like thats what it pretty much says I think

Just saw that weird banner video. My wife used to work for a company that printed custom banners and I can say bro probably dropped at LEAST a hundred or two on the banner alone.

Imagine being so pathetic that you make awful financial decisions to cope with the fact that you were banned from a video game website. Then you throw a basement party by yourself and post that basement party for the whole internet to laugh at. Weird.

From what I've seen both SMIB and the wig guy are the two whiniest and most depressing people to have ever had active accounts here. I at least hope this brings them the happiness and attention they so desperately need.

He doesn't actually care about toxicity or he wouldn't be using both of his active posts defending somebody who threw a one-man party and made a subreddit purely to harass the staff and users.

And for hating the toxicity he sure keeps crawling back.

On the sub they confirmed they paid a few hundred bucks for it, and they also stated that its peanuts and he thought people complaining about it would have better paying jobs. What a loonie.

Even sadder is be tried to paint it as some kind of own when everybody laughed at him for it. Dude has made an event he had nothing to do with a national holiday in his mind and dropped, his words, a couple hundred bucks to have a celebration banner made for his party of one.

Wild to me to celebrate that you've been permanently removed from a community for being an objectively bad person. If that's a win for them then fantastic job.

oh, i just now saw this topic for the first time.

it went private because that's what STEROLIZER decided to do after he private messaged on here saying that he got control of the subreddit back from Taiis and wanted to know if i was interested in becoming a moderator for it, and i said fuck no, i can't think of anything that would be a bigger waste of fucking time, and that if he's back in control, the only thing he should do with it is shut it the fuck down for good.

this is after he had been already messaging me a few months back asking me what i would do about the sub if i was in his shoes, and i also told him then that he should have just shut it the fuck down instead of pawning it off on Taiis.

i wouldn't have had to if the sub had ever been moderated properly in the first place. i wasn't just reporting random shit for no reason. everything i reported were things i viewed as violations of reddit content policy. when i first came across that sub, and had a look back and saw months and months worth of rampant and unchecked harassment, bigotry, hate speech, unhinged rants, etc. etc., i was absolutely appalled. your unwillingness to properly moderate the subreddit you made is what led to the chuds who inhabited it getting bolder and bolder and going off the deep end with their delusions of persecution and retribution. you gave them what was effectively a safe space for them to reinforce each others' delusions and ego-driven antics. you enabled them.

It's just a collection of people suspended since last week.

A couple of names that were purg'd before the change also slipped in.

You and AceMos are the two I know of in that category off-hand.

Stero offered me a mod position there. I didn't want it, as I didn't want any of those stalkers combing through my reddit and I didn't feel like making a fresh account.

I should have accepted it. Would have nuked half the board hour one. The remainder would have either taken it for the warning it was intended as, or follow suit. Either way, there would be no content problem with me around.
