Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

OP is overblowing the number of people in the conversation pretty significantly. There were only a handful of people in this in conversation, two or three of which said that they went to read the fic. The comment this post is about has four emoji reactions, one of which is a thumbs down. The comment pushing back on it has 9, all of them agreeing. That's about on par for the whole incident.

Can you pretty please just paste the deets?

Re: Mod Cabal

I like that you're glossing over the part where the mod shared their direct correspondence with the recip (including follow-up), and people called the recip a liar.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

I'm replying to a post that said there'd be 100+ hits on the fic from people in the server going to look and disputing the number of people, which is not 100+ or anywhere close to it.

The post calling them a liar is the one with 4 reacts, one of which is a thumbs down.

Re: Mod Cabal

Do you really think that everyone who looked at the fic participated in the discussion in some way (even by emoji react)?

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT

Not necessarily, but generally if only 10ish people are willing to react to a conversation you aren't going to get 100+ people searching for the fic (it wasn't linked) to read it. You're still at a handful no matter how you slice it.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

That's not really true, when something is linked here or on another anon meme sometimes no one replies but the hits shoot way up

Re: Mod Cabal

Jesus. Can someone name the mods and their events so we can decide to not cross paths with them?

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

Oof. If the mod felt the need to share my 3-sentence follow-up where I accepted their decision, clarified my reasoning, and thanked them for their work, I think there's no doubt they were being malicious here. /RS recip

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

They didn't. This is a malicious representation of that conversation. The issue was discussed at a high level and everyone taking part knew (or should have known, OP) that the gist was being loosely summarized only.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't say it was verbatim and am not sure why you're defending these assholes.

Re: Mod Cabal

You are writing RPF about the mod server and getting mad when your fanfic is corrected. This doesn't give us a lot of faith in your version of events.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

You're not

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

There was only one asshole.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

"share my 3-sentence follow-up"

If we're not meant to take this as literally sharing the correspondence, I think you need to speak more precisely.

And correcting the record isn't defending the assholes. It's correcting the record.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

lmao how can you say this when the mod did in fact copy/paste the recip's correspondence word for word? Both the original correspondence and the recip's response? Why are you caping for them?

After the third or fourth person chimed in to say "yeah I don't think this warrants an EPH" they should have said "thanks everyone!" and left it there rather than continually updating us on developments as they arose.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

SC like how else would I know that the recip responded like this, unless you think I'm the recip?

"Gotcha. It also really read like [possible DNW] and the two things combined rubbed me up the wrong way, so I thought I'd reach out to you guys. Thanks for checking this out for me."

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

Does Relationshipping mod pay your bills or what? Because why in the world would you lie so openly and gaslight the two persons who reported and assumed correctly.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

Do you even actually know it was you? I have yet to see anyone confirm this, or even confirm which exchange it was, but you've gone from "this might be me" to "if it was RS, there's a 99% chance it was me" to "it was definitely me" over the course of this thread.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

I hope no one does confirm which exchange it was. It sounds like the mod just asked for advice and the real shitty behavior happened afterwards.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

+1

For all we know this is about some random single fandom exchange we've never heard of.

Disclaimer I am not there and have no idea, I'm just looking at the mention of 100+ mods and thinking that seems like way too many mods for it to be limited to our normal BFE range.

Re: Mod Cabal

I'm not in the server but a lot of servers have a lot of inactive (but potentially lurky) members because they don't actively boot people who've drifted out of the scene.

If EPH coalie is off track, I think it would be gracious that coalies in the know corrected the record. For the sake of everyone involved.

Re: Mod Cabal

SC

I mean correct the record with respect to the exchange where this happened.

Re: Mod Cabal

What were the other 3 reactions? /curious
