That was a longer article than I'm used to from your blog.
So, MGT470 leaked Dev+ (back in the day), and three other people have recently leaked it, and Caliya was banned? Can you explain why she was banned (or what she was told)? None of this makes any sense to me.
I mean, Themo can spout, "FUCK YOU IDC IF I GET B& IT WAS WORTH IT" without getting banned.

The ban was explained that I had been warned twice in 24 hours (which I absolutely was not, and asked what for, by who, and where, which I have not received a reply), and also because of the Founder forum "leak" - which is literally nothing more than scrum, like IM said. People paying for rolling credits? lol
What IM didn't mention in the blog post - I'm Adventurer level and had access to the Founder blog, and they kept telling me to check it, so I did! I thought it was available to any pleb. Apparently not!

Why am I not surprised? It was only a matter of time before the preferential moderation reared its ugly head again. |

And yet, there are those that mentioned Standup, what it did and didn't contain, and their posts are still there. I never posted about Standup in the Shroud forum. The thread had been locked otherwise I might have!

Well keep us updated then. I'm curious as to whether or not they'll respond to you now that you're banned. It would be nice to know why they think they warned you twice, why they think you leaked content, and why other players are allowed to do so without repercussions. |

Of course, I'm also curious because I asked Gina those same questions. The only response I got so far is the Founders blog offense with no explanation of that either. While I've been outrageously vocal over on this forum, I've never been that way at Shroud. Just persistent as hell. |

In my experience, moderators don't actually moderate forums, they sit and wait for reports to come in of actionable posts and only look at those; which means those who use reporting as a weapon, or those like you who it's used against Caliya, will get banned more often because that's the only time they actually do their job.
Having read all the linked posts, I don't think you said anything worse than anyone else there; Ravicus wasn't even engaging in the topic at all. But they probably used your "history", or rather, the fact others keep on reporting you, to claim you've got past form. Utterly unfair, but I think we all know how the standards of the community there really operate.

I was banned once for using a "F" word, which was flamer. I hope your ban isn't permanent Caliya.

That was a longer article than I'm used to from your blog. I hope I didn't bore you good sir  So, MGT470 leaked Dev+ (back in the day), and three other people have recently leaked it, and Caliya was banned? Can you explain why she was banned (or what she was told)? None of this makes any sense to me. It doesn't make a of sense to anyone as to why she was banned and others not panellized. I fully agree. I mean, Themo can spout, "FUCK YOU IDC IF I GET B& IT WAS WORTH IT" without getting banned. Themo is a Whale. He can do what he wants, clearly. In my experience, moderators don't actually moderate forums, they sit and wait for reports to come in of actionable posts and only look at those; which means those who use reporting as a weapon, or those like you who it's used against Caliya, will get banned more often because that's the only time they actually do their job. Yes, this is pretty much how they operate. They wait for the Whales to click report and they obey. Ravicus wasn't even engaging in the topic at all. Ravicus hardly ever engages in the topic. He is more of a high level type of guy who comes in, lets everyone else know what they are discussing is not relevant, not substantive, and not progressing. |

I'm afraid Themo is more powerful than we thought possible. No matter what we may try to do about him, I fear we will not be successful in reducing his thoughness to zero, or anywhere below one for that matter. These are dark times indeed.

Some folks are clearly above reproach in that forum. I mean, yes, I've had one temp ban a long time ago, for 2 weeks. That was probably a year or so ago. But I've never engaged on the level of people like Envy, who clearly had to have had numerous warnings even recently. But because he's invested thousands of dollars and purchased multiple POTs, they don't want to upset their income community....I mean...

I don't see myself as actively attempting to do anything to Themo. I may have a few opinions about him, and I share those opinions with everyone, and I may encourage in a way just by doing it others to agree with me. In the end, I just want the information out there for everyone. He should have been banned. Same goes for the other three in the banning of Caliya topic who posted all that Standup Corner stuff before she did. Lots. Caliya's only downfall is that she is associated with me by posting here  |

But, the blame can't be laid on you - I have lots of downfalls all on my own for being too mouthy. But mostly, Miss Panty-in-a-wad over there, that fat whale, got pissed and decided she wanted to take me down while preserving herself. |

No-money-was-harmed-in-the-making-of-this-post TMYes, Envy posted a video of him mocking players he was killing as they tried to walk away from him, in the general forums, to the backing of Spitting Image's "Chicken Song", and that thread got up to ridiculous-levels of responses without any action being taken at all. Rather more ToS breaking than you arguing about actual game mechanics in a polite but righteously frustrated way. |
