BMD I am an abuse survivor. The evidence so far for Reene has been 1. She is an abuse survivor and 2. Her accusers are acting in bad faith. You can understand why people are not feeling great on #2 given this sites history, yes? But I'm also very uncomfortable with #1. Abuse victims don't develop magical abuser detection skills, we tend to just learn the patterns and language used. And if an abuser manages to use different language and obfuscate the pattern, we'll, we can still fall in. And, in more generational trauma terms, we have a scarily common tendency to either become abusers ourselves or at the least take up some of their methods unintentionally. I have, and I try to be real careful about it.

This needs clarified, because this wasn't an active "conspiracy" for the most part, Reene and Burt's role was simply to look the other way and press the buttons without thinking. They were as involved/active as Nassar's enablers: all they actually did was look the other way whenever they needed to and not to think too deeply about it.

At one point a GoFundMe existed, and then it no longer existed, and I've already stated the reasons for it no longer existing. The only individual involved in persecuting a campaign against said GoFundMe was Lowtax, Burt and Reene's role was strictly limited to looking the other way and pressing the buttons to make the problems go away.

As someone dumbshit enough to do modding on a different forum for free in the past I can tell you when you talk to other mods you just shrug and expect them to have done their job, otherwise you end up doing the job of 2 mods. So Jeff heard ppj say he was nazi infiltrating and shrugged and when poo poo came out he got flustered he didn't listen and that's all.

Well you should be, thats the curse of the mods.and that they always knew.
On the other hand BM,lk and twoday are also c-spammers dealing with a lot of poo poo, and probably on the dark in a lot of this . Saying "i dont know the dude, everytime i dealt with him hes been ok" is not some glowing review of jeffreys admininship. We know the gently caress ups he did, and the fallout of them, and good stuff hes being doing also,so lets use his accions as a way to judge jeffrey, instead of projecting our opinions into people that barelly have a passive acquaintance with him.

Yeah that ones tricky. reene is just not a good admin/mod, but shes aparently been through some poo poo too and that earns sympathy but i dont think thats whats best for her right now.lets help her out with that and i think that for her own wellbeing she shouldnt be a admin/mod.


Edit: oh wait thats not tricky at all after all.

Cspam mods are the best mods but they are still mods and are at the very least more likely to favorably view the people who are also mods and admins by dint of frequent communication.

Also not a fan of BmDs most recent posts itt but they seem to be taking a breather and generally good.

If the mods and admins were serious about making things better here, they would be sharing plans for a complete changing of the guard, and not simping in these threads on one another's behalf.

Why would anyone trust the people involved in the PPJ saga, who shut people up during the ladyambien stuff, who never seem to learn or grow or change. Its possible to become a better person if you can shake the cringing servility you are currently engaged in. It shouldn't require THREE battered women.

It's real hosed up that all mods were in agreement to step down and the only one that did was LK, real hecked up, just real messed up, just real real messy :colbert:

my motivations here

once the stuff about lowtax came out the mods had a discussion about this, and pretty much decided to strike, which is why there was more goatse and such around the past few days. It was known that jeffrey was in negotiations, and pretty much it was collectively decided that if those fell through and lowtax remained in power, that we would all quit. I stayed because I thought it would be known within 24-48 hours whether the negotiation worked out or not, at which point there would be a mass demodding, and I figured I would leave then, and create less work for people if we were all just demodded at once. In the mean time I :justpost:ed and ignored my buttons

I still wonder how many of them believed lowtax vs. how many of them preferred not to "rock the boat"
It's one thing if they sincerely trusted what they thought was a friend
it's much worse if they refused to do/allow due diligence because they liked their stature

Imma gonna be honest here,the circunstances that lead to this are very lovely, but the wildness and unlawfullness of the forums in the last days are kinda fun.

My proposal is that we should have a purge week every year in these here forums, starting on 4/20.

The catch is that cspam during that week turns bizarro land and every post must contain a well source and passionate defense of centrist liberals policies.

as far as I am aware, Lady Ambien has contacted the admins and requested, for understandable reasons of privacy, that as little about personal info about her be posted on the forums as possible, and the motivation for removing the police reports was an attempt to fulfill that request. Likewise, as was mentioned in the announcement, I was informed and had reasonable reasons to believe that the gofundme was not affiliated with her, and was an attempt by some random shitlord to essentially steal her identity and use it to gather free money, and that is why it was deleted from the forums

i myself am not privy to any information in this regard so i cant comment on this,

but putting all these allegations aside, do you believe Reene's behavior up to this point as an admin has been reasonable, and that her actions during LadyAmbien's abuse are, or are not, disqualifying?

Moreover, do you believe that the various users calling for Reene's de-admining have reasonable concerns against Reene? If you do not intend to de-admin reene, are you prepared for this userbase to lose further faith in the administration's unbiasedness?
