Hi I have been reading the thread and I just want to say thank you to everyone who has been supportive of me itt

This whole thing has brought up some old bad stuff for me which isn't great but I'm ok.

Goons are great and I care about the community very much. I hope to continue to see you all in the future no matter where we all end up.

lk people are mad because they wanted to watch the whole house go up in flames but the firemen showed up and ruined all the fun. dont worry about it.

I honestly just hope Jeffrey runs the place like a legitimate business and hires some good front page writers, fosters/encourages different types of comedy content etc and hires people to take care of things on the business side that are (presumably? Maybe he's a wiz idk) Out of his wheelhouse

jeffreys #1 most consistent sentiment in mod spaces, in the time ive been a mod, has been that the mods/admins should take care of the community and the people on something awful

just in past conversation about “some cspam people are convinced you wanna close cspam and ban us all??” his first and immediate response was no, that would hurt the huge number of people who love cspam and rely on it as a community (paraphrase but to thebest of my recollection the exact sentiment expressed)

now im not asking you to trust my ~*secret knowledge~* more than yr own eyes and heart, but plz take that for w/e its worth to you

Yeah Jeff and I have legit had some serious disagreements and whatever but he cares about the communities here which is a giant loving improvement

I'm pretty sure this is just so lowtax can claim 0 income and gently caress both of his ex wives on the alimony payments

Wouldn't the sale of SA count as income that could be garnished?

i dunno why anyone gives a poo poo about FYAD as an entity

it had like a couple hundred posts a day at the end there and was essentially just a tourist kiosk of what it used to be with some bored locals still doing the gimmick

look man you don't know how hard it is for me to work my two favorite guilty pleasures dashboard confessional AND spiderman 3 seamlessly into a convo in 2020

just let me have this

also I wanted to address something I saw floating around that I find bizarre, which is the idea that I didn’t like Pog. I quite like Pog, I think he’s a good poster. I think his IKship of QCS didn’t go as well as it could’ve for a bunch of reasons but I recommended he be mod of the remade FYAD because I thought he’d do well.

and I think he did, although there’s only so much you can do when you ask a guy to fill a bucket with a fork.

Going through and reading people's reactions.. it's weird to watch yourself be mythologized in real time.



The only thing I feel the need to clarify before it gets out of control: one goon made a weird hit list of people and me and other mods were like it's very much not ok and condemned pretty roundly (as did many other posters) and I'm pretty sure they banned, but I'm positive they received some sort of punishment.

HOWEVER there was a separate list made by me and 2 other mods who specifically went through fyad and read threads personally and made copies of posts we saw that were racist, transphobic or otherwise harmful and worthy of mod actions.

We wanted to take things on a case by case basis and put a lot of work and thought into it.

I was going through a lot of personal poo poo at the time (sick for weeks, afraid of being homeless and overworking myself) and while I have made some public and personal apologies after the fact but as you'll see in the thread, while I didn't hate the idea of fyad or having a space to experiment with subversive humor, but "ironic" bigotry is still bigotry and posts targeting minority users in abusive or harmful ways shouldn't be tolerated and I stand by that.

For what it's worth I have always tried to engage in good faith and if you have concerns or questions please feel free to pm me.

this list from Dumb Lowtax? https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3906185&pagenumber=103&perpage=40#post501298953

because I distinctly remember you asking them for follow-up details, not condemning it roundly. But the thread is behind the modwall for good reasons, so if I’m wrong I’m absolutely willing to be proven so, there’s just no way for non mods to verify it atm

I think I said if you have to links to specific posts that are harmful or abusive to forward them to a mod but otherwise no. I remember mods having a a pretty firm consensus on that one and I hope I stressed that

There was so much going on at the time and I honestly can't be sure. I'm positive in hindsight I let some poo poo fall through the cracks and I apologise for that but I did try my best and if that wasn't satisfactory I am sorry.
