Heads Up

BearGuruabout 10 years ago

Hey folks, it's BearGuru here. I wanted to say some things to get them off of my chest. This does not in any way display the mod team's opinions as a whole, it is merely my opinion. Soon after I post this I will move the current active threads to the Mod Forums.

Regarding Sammie:

  • SHE is a human being as well, and everything you say that is offensive to transgendered people will be offensive to her.

  • Most of what is on the forums right now on this matter is sh!tposting, which is fine-- until it isn't. I fear we are approaching the line where it becomes hurtful, harmful, and damaging to not only Sammie but the community.

  • Epic Mafia moderators are not divine entities. So she is a mod. So what? So she gets to do reports and benefit the community. It helps with cheating investigations. Her being a moderator is irrelevent, she is mostly going to do the same thing she did as a role mod.

  • That being said, I do not think Sammie is going to be a good moderator for epicmafia in the long run. She is not a team player, but that is just my observation.

Regarding the Mod Team:

  • You have tried everything. You moved a thread that was hurtful to the mod forums, which was the correct call. When the community went into uproar, you just had to deal with it. The alternative was to let the damaging thread go on unmoderated, which is not doing your job.

  • Cody is a brand new admin. He is getting used to the job and for the community to surge against his decisions this early has to be demotivating. This site cannot survive if everybody in power is yelled at, called a child, and targeted.

Regarding me:

  • What I did earlier was crappy. I made hurtful comments that have affected people and really hurt them. I am sorry for what I did, and if that means stepping down as a Role Moderator I will do that.

  • Again, this is not the statement of me as a moderator, it is a statement from me as a person.

Regarding the Site:

  • Lucid owns the site. If anything needs to be done, you message him. If you disagree with something strongly enough, you message him. Do not take to the forums and spew publicly hurtful comments because all it does is make you look immature and hurt the person who is being targeted.

  • If you destroy anybody who comes into power, it will ruin the site. Very few people actually want to moderate the site, and that number is getting smaller every time something like this happens. Please think twice about whatever you are posting.

There you have it. I will be moving the other threads to mod forums shortly. Please engage in CIVIL discussion here. Have a good one.

Bear

epicmafia is a sad fcking site. there are 22-30 year olds complaining about moderation of a website directed towards people between the ages of 14-18
Does this mean I've finally aged PAST THE TARGET DEMO FOR THIS SITE?!

I suppose all that is learned from the repetition of history here is that if I hadn't reported the site to google back then, nothing would've actually changed. A post-facto confirmation, how pleasant.
This is all your fault.
For not fulfilling my role and doing it again? Yes, I suppose it is. We can just imagine this is an alternative timeline from 2014 now

i'm actually surprised by the fact that you guys have more issues with arcbell being the mod than pedo. honestly, it's pretty pointless to point a finger at the admins when it's the whole team who accepted to work with them. you guys should be talking to all the mods, not just cody/solace
The mods themselves didn't know. Cody was informed and didn't take it seriously, then Solace tried to push the matter onto Cody.
I said that the Skype logs in the pastebin aren't enough to label someone as a direct danger to the site
what about their past actions and history on said site which got them sitebanned at least one time?
they've already served their ban. they've changed and decided to volunteer for the site, so their past violations shouldn't be held against them

God forbid Solace be offline and Cody be online. I for one know that Solace was gone all yesterday seeing as I needed to speak with him but he wasn't on Skype. Trying to make it be this "Solace abandoned Cody to deal with it" situation is not only ignorant, but incredibly stupid. You've reached the level of talking out your as* with 0 evidence. Shut the hell up Leo and log off.

Yes, but you left Cody to deal with it mainly. You only said this after the fact.
cody handled it pretty well
He handed it well to the point we have 20 pages and counting of content complaining about it.

Each and every one of you cover for each other. Because you just can't let it and admit your god damn mistakes. NOOO You have to agree with every word of each other cos you know, you are together. SAME TEAM>

Hi Leo,

I'm listening to you
Hi Matt.

Do you have a question?
No, but you said some people were ignoring you earlier
Given Cody hasn't replied to a single post of mine when I'm the entire first page I have reason to believe he's thread blocked me.

/sigh
I'll never block you
