Transparency Mass Ban - 2026-02-04

No worries, I understand and will await your reply.
Thanks. Dealing with recent events has been tough, on top of losing a lot of people I thought were friends, so me drafting this is going to take a while. You're welcome to send a DM through discord at any time if you want to chat.
 
the manual post approval was to stop certain shit stirrers. Don't stir the pot and you'll be fine.
But when Swing gets on here and says the truth.

The whole "victim" of everything. THE PERSON that this was all about, you delete that.

That was upmost transparency. The conversation was all completely done, but the only person who brought it back and shit-stirred was Pansy. There's a lot of double-standard favoritism going on, and all of the stuff Pansy had said was already said, or just insulting someone for literally no reason. Like dude, it's so blatant.
 
Would you like to see the logs? That wasn't me, so stop flinging accusations.
 
Logs would be appreciated considering with what Gee's staff logs and Xamad's dms showed and how the post being deleted without achknowledgement is a horrible look considering those two logs
Sure. This happened at 1am UTC, when I was in bed.

But go ahead, keep lying about me being some sort of dictator. See where that gets you.

On a related note, I genuinely want to know where this narrative of me being "anti-dev" comes from. Please, enlighten me.
 
There's one thing I do want to address tho and say that genuinely baffles me off the most from this forum thread and I've already said it again and will say it again
Why is Mikusch name being dragged into this?
I'll try and keep this brief, but Mikusch is being "dragged" into this because of his two-faced nature.
I initially had some of the screenshots I received of Mikusch berating/making fun of the abysmal situation I was in, but a third party convinced me that part of it was down to misunderstandings or miscommunications, so I gave some leniency and redacted them from the original post.
These are as follows:

There is a lot more than this, but I hit the attachment limit if I attempt to add anything more. I'll get that done in another post.
 
zane? oh my god and i just said he should quit, oops
I would have addressed this earlier, but Swing went into a completely uninvolved section of the forum to stir shit and I wasn't having that. Their thread still exists; it's just hidden from public view.
I would have merged that into being a comment from this thread if that was possible, but I settled on just hiding it because this thread has already been turned into a nuclear battleground and I'm not allowing the rest of the forums be made into one as well.
 
Pretty much had to acknowledge it, lock it and have in the acknowledgement to redirect any future concerns and such to this thread and that wouldn't had looked as bad as hiding it entirely is.

Oh and yeah while here, not you specifically but hearing some tones concerning ex-devs like batfox kind is very wack seeing and other not-so-good things have also been said aswell.

Fair, i was just mad that the post was silenced but now i see your vision.

Did it have shit-stirring, definitely but reducing the valid complaint they had to shit-stirring as well is overly reductive of that whole situation with her.
Just want to get this thought out of my head before it leaves while I'm working on something else:

If Swing is saying they weren't "greened out", then Jon's document is called in to question in it's entirety; if at least one section is totally wrong, then it stands to reason that there's more sections that are generously embellished (spoiler: Why would I attempt to hunt down Jon in an airport full of armed cops and federal agents? I wanted a Starbucks and my flight had been delayed.)
If they were, then being "greened out" to the point of needing a chaperone to ensure one's wellbeing is questionable at best. I'd compare it to "consenting" to driving a car while halfway through a bottle of vodka. Sure, you can consent to driving that car while drunk, and you also consent to getting pulled over by the cops and arrested for DUI.
Consent doesn't work like that, much like how I didn't consent to them both having sexual contact in front of me in the room. If this were a court case, Jon's own words would be enough of a confession of guilt.

I stand by my interpretation. Either Jon has spun his own narrative, or he's a horrible writer. Take your pick.

I'm still writing up the second part of this post. It will be a while.
 
This is one of those things that could've been handled better in hindsight. Given how much shit has been stirring, my thought process at the time was just keeping civilian areas out of the blast zone and the first thing I see is a stray missile. I could have also provided a message that sends directly to them as part of the soft deletion process (it's a feature), but that still wouldn't have sat well.
-There is one thing I am curious about. That post was 57 minutes old when I hid it from public view, yet in your screenshot of the post you provided when you addressed its deletion the post is 3 minutes old. Was there any particular reason you felt the need to save a screenshot of the post so early in its lifespan?

Now regarding those screenshots, I do not see how it's not me specifically when they're all comments I made. Now I am aggressive in those, but that's just because I don't sugarcoat my criticisms.
My statements in those were regarding the first attempt Batfox made to rewrite the mode, which I was already not alone in if we see the poll on their feedback/suggestion thread. It was voicing frustration over how the issues that have been plaguing the mode since launch just needed to be addressed and instead the rewrite was taken in a direction that mostly everyone I spoke to about it agreed it wasn't good. I did not see the harm since I figured it was already common knowledge (the issues and the rewrite).
EDIT: Also Batfox left, so I doubted there'd even be any more progress anyways.

Someone asked about the post a couple minutes after it was posted so a screenshot was taken so it could be shown but the link to the post was sent instead at that time.

The quote didn't actually say who was being quoted but that section was towards Tohru who said anti-dev allegations being specifically targeted at him. It'd be a bit helpful to know what exactly is being referred so not just guessing the main things regarding Tohru being specifically "anti-dev", but yeah.

Fair enough. Still find it odd.

I can tell you rn that Tohru has not been against any dev decisions made recently. Any negative speech about developers has been venting criticisms from myself. Like I said all of your posts you shared in that spoiler were made by me, I recognize them word for word. If there are any other instances you've been aware of such instances, tell me the affected individuals and I'll dig through the logs.

Now there is one decision handled privately that could have led to that, but even that has very solid ground for why it was made and still isn't anti-dev by any means
 

...so I'm being blamed for being anti-dev... for comments I didn't make? What?

I do want to add onto how comments I made affecting beliefs of Tohru's stance on dev freedom is quite stupid.
Whoever shared those quotes forgot to provide critical information (intentionally or not) by stating who made them. My thoughts are not Tohru's.
