Tek Syndicate is Burning

Started by Trik'Stari,

So, Tek Syndicate is on fire right now. I am reporting this first hand.

 

This started with Wendell blinking SOS in the last episode of The Tek in which he appeared (two weeks ago). Then tonight, Logan made some VERY poor decisions regarding transparency, and where the money from the Tek Syndicate channel is going.

This spawned some shit.

Logan basically banned a bunch of moderators, after they started calling him out for deleting comments that did not violate community guidelines, but where difficult questions that he did not want to answer, about where the money from Tek Syndicate is going.

 

Exhibit A:

Alamar, and Eden, WHERE moderators on the Tek Syndicate forums. Alamar has been banned or "suspended" from the forums, as well as Eden, and all other moderators except for two (whom I will not name) have subsequently been banned or suspended.

A former moderator points out that Logan is trying to switch the forum to Read Only mode, which would allow Logan to ban and delete people at will. Also, Logan egging his own community on.

Logan egging people on again.

Pistol enters the fray.

Logan threatens everyone.

Pistol was banned from the private Discord chat maintained by members of the Tek Syndicate community after she flatout demanded admin rights on a server she has no affiliation with (the server is not officially affiliated with Tek Syndicate, merely maintained by a section of the Tek Syndicate community.), and then, when someone started sending her lewd comments, instead of reporting it to the admin, she decided to make it public, and tell that person to kill themselves.

Pistol claims that she can respond to trolls "however she damn well pleases" which is a great attitude for someone asking for admin powers to have.

 

There is more, a LOT more going on, but nothing that I have screenshots of. Currently trying to get Screenshots off of the Discord of Pistol behaving in said manner. This might not be possible as when an account is banned from Discord, all of their comments are deleted from the live instance of Discord (or so I have been told.)

 

The source? Me, and several other members of the Tek Syndicate community. There is even more on Reddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/TekSyndicate/comments/502aao/for_everyone_going_what_the_fuck_is_happening_on/

 

TL;DR Logan refused to answer questions, Wendell, Qain, and Jennifer are leaving Tek Syndicate entirely (according to the Reddit post). There is a 4chan thread as well, but I dare not venture there. Several mods have been suspended, and the entire forum is down at the time of this posting.

 

Imgur album I compiled: https://imgur.com/a/5NgkZ

 

Edit: Wendell and Qain have been removed as admins as well. Which is funny because Wendell hosts the Tek Syndicate Forum Server (to my knowledge. He has physical ownership of the server the forum is hosted from)

Computer's don't make errors. What they do, they do on purpose. By now your name and particulars have been fed into every laptop, desktop, mainframe and supermarket scanner that collectively make up the global information conspiracy, otherwise known as The Beast.

 

You just be careful. Computers have already beaten the Communists at chess. Next thing you know, they'll be beating humans.

The Tek Syndicate is trash anyway. This sort of fallout is really typical of hosts who use race bait titles like the video above.

Nice. I think everyone sorta knew this was coming. The content has been utter garbage for a long time now. Not the quality but the enthusiasm and the mood of the videos. I do like their linux channel but that is controlled by not Logan. GG career over. Logan is pretty mean anyways so bye

Wendell and Qain, and the community overthere, are great.

 

Logan is the issue as far as I see. He's a troll. Nothing more. It amused me for a while but eventually I have begun to see him as nothing but trash. He makes funny jokes on occasion, but he's a complete egomaniac as far as I am concerned.

Perhaps I’ll change my overall view of them once Logan is gone. That is, if they even survive this lmao

And thus, he leaves the IT industry the way he entered it.

 

As a joke.

 

Or was it comedian?

Qain isn't bad. He took time out of his day to help me with a networking issue I was having with a school lab project. I couldn't get something to work, and he took at least two hours out of his day to help me, out of the blue.

 

He might have a strong opinion and not censor himself as much as some would like, but he cares and is helpful. More than anyone can say for Logan.

 

And Pistol? I'm just shocked. I thought she was better than this but apparently not.

I always liked his headphone review videos. His opinions on life are along the lines of a 17 year old emo kid, but everyone's entitled to their views. :P

Hi LTT, so yeah, the site of office right now but apparently Wendell has a site backup and it's unknown at this point if he'll restore it.

^Destroyed is, or possibly was (now way to tell as of this moment) a moderator on the Tek Syndicate forums.

I wouldn't actually mind if Slick did it (That's not happening, just a thought) Wendell+Qain+Slick would be an awesome combo that I think could work out quite well.
