redneck nazgul posted:that's my whole point. not everybody attacking plinkey had his best interests in mind or was doing it in good faith--some of them were doing it because lol drama. we can disagree on the percentages all day, but conflating "dude running it like this is going to screw you and the people you want to help, let's make it better" with "this guy's blowing the goon fund on craps and hookers lol" just whitewashes the shitheads and makes the genuine concerns seem less genuine. I wasn't a mod when Plinkey's goonfund was started (by the time I was a mod the goonfund had already been chugging along for something like a year and a half - in fact I'm not sure any of the current cspam mod team were mods when it was set up) and I was never the one taking point on it (that was usually admins or mods who know Plinkey on some level, which I don't) but I can give a bit of behind-the-scenes perspective on this. Basically the mods and admins knew Plinkey's goonfund was not being run optimally, but also saw that it did seem to be helping people, based on the wide variety of posters who regularly said Plinkey was sending them money to help them with things, often helping them through serious emergencies. On several occasions, mods and admins all the way up to Jeff talked to Plinkey in private urging him to run his fund more transparently and ideally to incorporate as a charity, to protect Plinkey from personal liability, to make the fund less dependent on a single pair of hands, and to make it so that donors could be confident their money was being used appropriately. This was months, if not years, before the QCS blowup. As I remember it Plinkey was receptive to the various ideas and suggestions but never followed through, and we had no way of double-checking anything independently because of the nature of an opaque fund run by a single person and hosted on a different website. That left us in an awkward position of not wanting to make public accusations or demands and therefore blow up the fund out of suspicion when we had no proof funds were being misused and a fair amount of circumstantial evidence that at least some of the money was materially helping goons as intended, but also not succeeding in repeated attempts to help Plinkey resolve the issues proactively and privately so that the fund could operate with some level of accountability, redundancy, and transparency. Not being able to do either of those things made some kind of bad outcome pretty much inevitable but because only Plinkey could improve the existing goonfund and he didn't do it, we didn't have a way to resolve the issue ourselves - either we'd be fail evil mods stealing food out of the mouths of goons by attacking the fund or we'd be fail evil mods letting goons get scammed by allowing the opaque state of affairs to continue. The actually good third option of talking to Plinkey and trying to resolve the issues before they became a problem was something we did try on multiple occasions. When the inevitable blowup happened, the high stakes (a lot of real-world money changing hands) and cross-forum nature of discussions starting in PYF, moving to QCS, and then happening in QCS, PYF, and CSPAM simultaneously meant it was generally treated as an admin and Jeff responsibility rather than something that individual subforum mods could resolve, which maybe wasn't the right call when threads and posters were screaming at each other but hindsight is 20/20. I think just about everyone involved would have preferred a different outcome but this is the one we got.

I came back to cspam after the election and he became incredibly awful, unbearably so and people loving loved him. It was so bizarre. I thought it was funny when he riled people up, same with judakel. People here including me were too epic, and I am glad that is a by gone era.

First he was very suspicious but I told him what happened to me then he looked very sad and put his hand on my shoulder and said NHD you got guts. Everybody looked at me when I came downstairs and started working in the forums probating it like I used to. I told myself NHD they make fun of you dont get sore because you remember their not so smart as you once thot they were. And besides they were once your friends and if they laughed at you that doesnt mean anything because they liked you too.
