It seems fine?

That's fucking nuts. It's putting all the blame on the recip and acting as if mods including EO did nothing wrong.

I think you parented up to the wrong comment.

DC

They really didn't.

"This doesn't change my opinion of you uwu" is a nuts thing to say to someone who, by the sound of it, hasn't done anything worse than get a bit worked up about a disappointing gift.

It's just ridiculous for a mod to say "despite a lot of mods gossiping about you behind your back this particular mod still thinks you're not a bad participant." Okay? This isn't about them being a bad participant, it's about all of you being bad mods.

So are you going to go mod an exchange then?

DC

What a bizarre deflection of an answer.

Sorry, is gossiping at the mod cabal necessary stress relief for the heavy burden of mod duties or what are you trying to say?

DC

Did you seriously believe before this thread that the various mods were not in communication with one another and were not sharing information and annoyance about various participants in their exchanges? There are a lot of things being handled in the back end, including talking to each other about problems, that mean issues are handled long before they affect everyone else. The mod server has been a known thing for ages. I'm not on it but I've known about it for years.

Well, now you see that it turns out that being huge cunts about people who didn't do anything wrong, affects everyone else when it gets out

Sure, but being an optimist, I hoped that didn't include being unnecessarily nasty about participants who haven't done anything wrong, especially when it's someone the mods themselves admit has been doing exchanges for a while without causing trouble.

What is the point you're trying to make with this? That this is not new behavior? That makes it worse. You see how that's worse, right?

So you're saying I should have known that by singing up for exchanges I sign up to be scrutinized, psychoanalysed and ridiculed by the mod cabal?

NC

I thought most of the mods were just using coal to scrutinize, psychoanalyse, and ridicule people. Turns out there’s way more mods on coal than I thought.

Apparently more mods should be on coal and not on the discord. Do your scrutinizing, psychoanalysing, and ridiculing in the proper place!

It's definitely a better place to post private emails!

"The mod server has been a known thing for ages."

To you and other people in the mod cabal, sure. Not regular participants. And there are even people here who say they're mods and never got invites, or never knew it existed.

"I'm not on it"

Doubtful!

"but I've known about it for years."

Again, admitting the fact that you all have been assholes for years is not making you look better!

Sure, why don't you let me know which one I should take over because it's modded by an asshole?

Coalie you don't need permission. You can just start one. We know which one caused this convo, you can just start a competitor. The mod cabal doesn't actually control who gets to run exchanges.

We don't know the other 18 of them is my point.

....okay I will give you one piece of advice from my very limited experience as an exchange mod: don't try to start 19 at once.

It'd be nice to know which the other 18 were so that I can stop doing the OGs regardless of if people start schismed ones.

To be safe you should stop doing all exchanges that currently exist and only trust new ones that spring up from brand new mods you've ever heard of.
