So this is the origin point for the conflict between the two message boards, the reason for the split. You screwed them over hard enough for them to become a separate faction, expecting them to just find a new scripter out of nowhere with the language barrier in the way. They're not just some lowly punks either, there are YT content makers with pretty big following considering the size of the SRB2 community among them.Fair question, here's the ban reason he was given.
tl;dr, he submitted a mod with content from a user who's harassed a bunch of people in the community, and we told him we wouldn't accept mods from that person; he tried to sneak it through anyways. Upon being banned, he started trying to make silly threats in DMs about making SRB2 Community 2: Electric Boogaloo, with blackjack and hookers, so if there was any doubt as to his character that about settled it.
Sometimes, people who are good at art can still be shitty people, huh?

Only thing I needed to hear from you was that you became staff after that mess, which means that like Frostiikin in this thread, you have nothing to do with the first two screw-ups in particular. Doesn't really change the fact they happened and made me very suspicious of the management, but at least you didn't pounce at me like I expected you to.Sorry, I'm not sure what you're talking about regarding GoldenShine. Can you shed some light on that issue for me?
I'm also not sure what you mean about the Sapheros mess. Sapheros was banned two years before I, for one, was even a staff member.
Are you sure you're making the point you think you're making? Because I feel like whatever information you're operating on is far from the actual source. Here is the actual staff log from back when that happened.
I'd reflect that same ban in a heartbeat though, we don't need people like this around the community.

As for kicking out Mystic, who are you suggesting actually did this? Because it was not any of the current staff: It was actually Prime 2.0.
You can read everything he had to say about it here. This man isn't even on staff anymore himself. I don't believe for a moment he was covering for anyone, but that point still stands.

I'm not lying. See for yourself, you don't have to believe me on my word alone.

The claims Mystic made were investigated as much as possible, and they were found to be utterly baseless :V
As always, if you have any actual evidence, please send it our way. No staff member is immune; tenure is meaningless. We have kicked multiple staff members off the team for things much less severe than abusing kids; you can imagine how much more seriously we'd take that.
But if you don't have any evidence, it's probably best not to stir the pot with what's gossip at best.
I'm trying to figure out where you got your info -- because some of the above messages are public logs you totally could have searched up yourself. All I can assume is you fell for a lie without bothering to fact check, because this stuff couldn't be more inaccurate to the way things actually played out. You might want to consider approaching all this stuff from a new angle.
I hope this doesn't come off as super aggressive or something; your post is... kinda nonsense, but I'd rather believe you're just upset about something you believe is true since you got the wool pulled over your eyes.

A long, ugly, history of inappropriate decisions, including bullying and an inability to keep things SFW in a 13+ community.
No one on the current staff -- or the dev team, for that matter -- is happy with the way the community was being ran pre-2020 or so. Most of us grew up in it through the absolute worst of it. Change is hard to make when people like Rob/Prime/Mystic would always try to aggressively strongarm you away from doing it, though.Community mismanagement. An abject failure to hold the community to an appropriate standard in terms of bullying, flaming, NSFW content, and targeted attacks on users. We're putting our foot down.
Yeah, I thought you might be referring to that, but it made no sense because that is one of the fundamental reasons the staff who did that got removed -- by the existing staff, I might add. Haven't you noticed how much the community has changed since then? I've personally worked really hard to make the community less judgmental, both by setting a good example and also by getting rid of the quality barrier that existed in submissions before (though this improvement wasn't only my idea). Again, an offer of proof, here is my announcement I made on the discord regarding this.As for GoldenShine (if I remember his name correctly), he was the guy that got chastised throughout the early years of his most well-known project, SMS, by Mystic and his cadre. The old guard was the one to start that nonsense, thankfully GoldenShine still persevered and that mod got a glorious final release if I recall.
Understandable. I just personally think if you're gonna be so skeptical of us, you should extend a little of that towards your friends from your other community as well, because uhh.... I've seen some wack-ass statements come out of some of their mouths -- stuff with no basis in reality. I assume that's why you're here with some of these impressions in the first place.As for the post's aggressive tone, I am a very cynical & distrustful individual, so I naturally took the words of management with skepticism. This butting of heads was inevitable in that sense, because if I feel like I'm in a position where I have a decent chance of getting backstabbed, I prefer to go out on my own terms. That's the unfortunate part about this, doesn't help that the YT content maker that's probably to credit for the traffic my first mod has gotten what little it may be, became part of the dispute between the two forums, leading me on a collision course with you.
I know the WS community has had a long run-in & grudge with yours, so I do have to do more digging on them as well. You'd think that they would have had the foresight to not put their eggs in one basket when it came to scripting in the first place. Perhaps they were protected by a member of the old administration that isn't there anymore so they never thought they'd need another scripter.Actually, I kinda do in some sense -- if my active attempts to holding them accountable for those things is to be considered -- have a lot to do with those things. I've been around the community since 2010, and I'd butted heads with who we call "the old guard" colloquially (Mystic, Prime 2.0, and Rob) quite frequently. I didn't have to be on staff to do that; I'd been calling out their poor leadership of the community for some time.
Like, things I was angry and vocal at them about in the past include a lot of things I'm sure you'd be just as concerned about as well:
- Pushing around modders who were just trying to do their own thing because they didn't particularly enjoy it.
- Making mean-spirited content directly to clown on what were ultimately just little kids trying to learn modding. (Or in some cases people with known mental disabilities.)
- Constantly chatting about porn and lolicon around children. (This was especially bad in the IRC era)
- Hosting a literal porn forum on the MB here, which was "private" but they invited a bunch of minors anyways. (why did they think this was okay????)
- Letting several known sexual predators stick around the community because they were friends with them.
They may have taken care of Sapheros responsibly, but there were others who needed to go as well and they either dragged their feet on it and did it reluctantly after being pressured to do so (again, I specifically had to pressure them to remote JTE from their own ranks), or us current staff had to do it after the old guard was out of the picture.
I don't blame anyone for being suspicious of a management team after those things if you weren't around paying close attention to what happened in 2020.
As an offer of proof on this, here are Mystic and Rob's actual forum ban reasons (these were written by me and some of the current staff). I'd include Prime's, but it talked about something else and isn't really relevant here.

All of the current staff are completely approachable and down to share any info or receipts or talk about any problems you might have. Like, I assure you that if you approach us in good faith about something you or someone else has against us, we're not gonna bite.
Speaking of which, got any of that evidence regarding Mystic's accusations that you brought up?
