Spooky Spite

An important update:

Due to a specific person being a complete child, comments are going to be screened by default.

This is only temporary, and I apologize for the inconvenience- this is going to be a pain in the ass for me, too, but multiple people have come forward about fears of doxxing, and this is the only way to make sure any doxxing is contained.

(This basically will force the doxxer to make a DW account to post any doxxing attempts unscreened, and will let me more reliably report them to DW staff/authorities.)

Again, I apologize, and will be working to unscreen comments as fast as possible, but I'm only one person.

(Vasemod has had some personal issues come up, so I am the only mod atm. Please bear with me until this bit of annoyance has passed.)

no hard feelings. thanks for looking out for us. anyway OP, is an ARR mod forced to lock down this entire comm out of fear that multiple people could get doxxed, proof enough for you that there's shitty people in there?

The user in question doesn't even appear to be in Gen One Hell anymore, so no, that's not enough proof?

they... /were/ in G1 hell and was allowed to stay up until they committed an actual federal crime by doxxing people? what's your damage anon, what are you trying to prove?

I'm in the server and would like to know what shitheads to avoid. That's all.

Per this person, they never got banned from G1 hell. They left of their own accord.

I'm not sure if that's true, because he's a criminal and G1 hell staff are useless as all get-out, but it's the only narrative I've heard.

not sure about other countries, but doxing isn't federally illegal in the US. :( I found this out when I was doxed and like to spread the word bc it's a common misconception.

I... why the hell are people giving you proof? Not saying you're unworthy... More that people should be handing shit to staff themselves if it's that incriminating.

That's fair enough. They need a smoking gun on site, like they had with Brightmyth to even consider it.

But it feels odd in this case when there's little anyone but staff can do other than block and avoid.

Well, at any rate, it makes sense in that case. And there's no point in you risking a ban when staff already has everything you do and won't act.

wait, brightmyth? i thought they just had a fuckton of money because they won the skin contests all the time and printed popular UMAs.

No, Brightmyth had multiple accounts and was found out because he submitted a ticket with the wrong email or some shit.

Re: weevil and co

(Anonymous) 2023-10-07 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
nayrt
the fuckton of money is from printing popular UMAs, yeah. but the ban was for multiaccounting. according to a post on brightmyth's own tumblr, they said their previous accounts were made when they were younger and hadn't been touched for years. i don't know how much money they actually made from those, but no 13 year old running g&g on a couple of multis could have earned enough gems to buy the two g1 triples in their old lair lmao

The anon that brought up Brightmyth

(Anonymous) 2023-10-07 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Yea. I wasn't saying the wealth came from the multis. Brightmyth got wealthy legitimately, and was likely a good way to get folks buying gems.

But that smoking gun mistake of using the wrong email made it so staff couldn't really ignore the multi in fairness, even if the wealth wasn't from it.

And I do think staff tries to be fair in enforcement.

wait, really? why the hell would staff care about an anon meme?? not doubting you, just baffled

This comm allows callouts by name, blacklists, and criticism/discussion of bans.

I could see them not liking it.

They're not there, but the rest of the friend group still is. I'm not sure if they've committed actual crimes, but they participated in harassment and are friends with/support the person who did, as documented before. Their victim left (vague because their name may be screened too?), and one of them was asking someone to get in touch with them on their behalf, which is absolutely insane.

There's plenty of other people in G1 hell who I think should get their Internet taken away for a while, too. It's unhinged, I lurk with popcorn.

They're not still friends with him nor do they support him. As someone who was casual friends with them before everything happened and still talks to them sometimes, they seem to disagree with everything that's happened as much as everyone else

They were shitheads (screenshots posted before) even if they think doxxing is too far, and some are definitely still friends with him. Or at least pretending to be to get free stuff. When he came back, he gifted some very valuable dragons to the friends/former friends/whatever they want to be called to save face.

I do have proof of this, but it likely can't be posted without being screened (or causing a shitstorm), especially because some involves friends of his that weren't named on the original discussion.

AYRT

Not trying to defend their actions, just saying if they don't talk to him anymore maybe we should let them fade into obscurity.

They're shitheads for reasons other than being linked to that one guy, though.

"Or at least pretending to be to get free stuff."

Ah yes, the morally bankrupt reason why so many of these thugs stick together. It's always about the personal benefits.

Plenty of them were perfectly fine with dropping the r slur and engaging in that behavior, directly from discord screenshots, anyways. It was really only until they got caught that they seemed to change their minds about this.
