Posting From My Merryman Orb

Might not be the response you were looking for, but at least Greg acknowledges the issue never should have happened and hopes the mods can improve from their mistakes.

Though I'm still not really a fan of Rae not being reprimanded about it (Especially after their first response to your posts).

also having a rule against blocking a mod is so?? weird??? i KIND of get it for a big server, hard to keep track of whos blocked who and who can ping who, you dont want people intentionally evading the rules, whatever. EXCEPT that the user who did that got banned bc they literally Can keep track, apparently, somehow. why do they have that. hello. and again if a mod has received enough backlash that server users are blocking them over their behavior, why the FUCK are they still a mod. last time that happened with one of our mods we banned them.

the level of willful incompetence that has been plainly on display in this is staggering. this isnt "moderation is a learning process" this is "i am bad at my fucking job and i didnt care about getting better until it might Actually have any consequences. which it didnt." jesus christ.

you hinging so much of yourself on the decision making of a discord moderator with absolutely no mental health certification was a poor decision. these are literally just people who hang out in the community often??

however poorly you think the issue was handled, rae shouldn’t have been responsible for sleuthing out ongoing interpersonal stalking accusations between you and another member. it’s a public server Anyone can join. it will never be perfectly curated. only to the best of the ability of like 5 regular ass guys.

ok so, 1. this was quite literally their job. it is their job to deal with situations "like this". it is reiterated again and again, if you have any issues with anyone in the server, you shouldn't be afraid to contact a mod about it. i talked with rae specifically because they reached out to me first when i impulsively left the server for the first time. their message asking if i was okay being sent "not as a moderator" despite them knowing of the issue before i even left. (peep them acting completely clueless in their first messages wow how transparent of them)

(boo fucking hoo also. how fucking dare i have screenshots from someone's private account (which he btw talked about wanting to be leaked but whatever). which btw rae never appeared to have an issue with me having screenshots while we were talking in dms about it and i also explained i never had direct access to his private account and only had these screenshots from mutual friends i had with that user. i only even got access to these screenshots months after the posts started to be made because people around me felt guilty over staying quiet about it) 2. it was not a mental health crisis until months into this due to their innaction. yes i felt pretty awful about it from the start, yet rae literally reassured it was fine for me to talk about it. they KNEW how badly it was affecting me, yet chose to do nothing 3. how do you even know what they're paid. even if they were underpaid it wouldn't be my fault for believe they'd do what they literally describe as their job. there was also a whole team of moderators, at any point they could've passed me off to a different mod to handle it but they didn't. 4. they are also the social media manager. but even if they were just a moderator, their position as a discord mod should be plenty enough for me to have trust in them to deal with a member in the discord server they moderate 5. you don't need "mental health certifications" to take a victim of a stalker seriously 6. "these are literally just people who hang out in the community often??" literally factually wrong. moderators are hired to keep the community safe, and they have the tools specifically to keep it safe. this is their job and their position as a discord moderator is inherently different and comes with way more responsability from random members. 7. you cannot keep calling something that has definite proof "accussations". there literally is proof of this user stalking and harassing me as well as shit talking other members of the server. all which rae refused to do anything about until the user moved onto a different victim who i urged to make it public because rae wouldn't've done anything if i didn't.
