Re: Mod Cabal

Untrue; having their actual account name gives that much more of a chance to avoid them in other exchanges. Not a guaranteed chance, because mod socks exist, but more of one.

Knowing who they are in order to avoid matching or filling pinch hits or treating? Also a thing. Assholery shouldn't be rewarded.

No. I simply disagree with you that this is a justified action proportionate to current or potential future harm.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

what current or potential future harm are you talking about? the mod cabal catering to their hurt feelings?

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

Connected unconnected identities is a harm.

You modcalled on FFA about this, didn't you. 🙄

I'm not crying that a bully can't bully anymore.

We’ve upgraded the wank to bullying by proxy.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

There's no proxy about it, dragging someone like A did in those comments and encouraging other people to join in is bullying on its own.

This is some top tier disingenuous bullshit.

Re: Mod Cabal

well they weren't the one who made the asshole comments right? That was the other one

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

And yet, the biggest baddest coward on coal decided they need to be named for great justice. Because otherwise someone might one day write them a treat or pinch hit!

Re: Mod Cabal

You realize you're white knighting the person who gave EO the chance to be an asshole by... dragging these email that the sender expected to be confidential out in direct, identifiable quotes to a server of a hundred people and inviting them to mock and belittle the person.

Nah, fuck adastreia, fuck EO, fuck the 18 mods who joined in, and fuck you too.

They went to the mod server to ask a modding question. They're not responsible for what other people did with the question they were asking.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

They went to the modding server to ask a modding question designed to get people to go "No, you're so right queen, your recip whose email you're sharing in identifiable detail is such a jerk" and the server took them up on it.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

Are you a part of the server, or are you getting your facts from coal? Because this story has been rewritten so many times in this thread.

Re: Mod Cabal

The other participating mods remain unnamed and I don't understand why. adastreia and EO are the most egregious, but the others are implicated too. They deserve the same scrutiny.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

Tbh, if the coalie who posted excerpts wasn't reordering things, the +18 was on the first grumpy comment, before there was any deannoning and before e_o got really vicious. Still not a great look, but grousing about unreasonable recips without deanonning or exact quotes seems pretty reasonable for a discord intended to let mods grouse without deannoning.

It's a worse look that they didn't say anything after it got worse and got deanoned but that applies to everyone not just the 18 +1s.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

Even the first comment is really embarrassing when the person they are talking about is in the room. Of course they assume that's not the case and now it got out and they've got egg on their faces.

Re: Mod Cabal

This is why having the full log would be so helpful, lol

Good point. I do agree with you. With that in mind, the recip was identifiable in server by this comment's time:

- iirc this recipient has successfully participated in multifandom events before, so I am also less inclined to be charitable in terms of event culture mismatch

and I think the mods who continued from then, including the mod who said this and the mod who asked if it was X/Y ship fic for fandom Z in the first place, deserve to be identified too.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

The others were TechnicolorRevel, havisham, saiditallbefore, marquisguyun, modball, lavenderandrue, Mizuka, Shadaras, Shiwi, brightlyburning, avery and NaryRising.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

Fucking thank you.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

some of these are expected, one or two are surprising, and who the hell is shiwi

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

They sure do, and even checking discord reacts would have given their names.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

So which one of them are you, EO or adastreia? Lol. Fucking lol.
