Re: Mod Cabal

"Coalies are really gullible," you keep desperately insisting, in threads where people say that bullshit is bullshit.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

If I had to make a dirty bet I'd say for the last day or so it's someone whose good name is in danger desperately lying about it so if someone eventually names and shames them they can claim it's just more lies that we shouldn't believe.

Re: Mod Cabal

It's pretty obvious which of the stuff is real and which is trolling imo

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

thats because its all trolling

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

Nah.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, Edosian, adastreia quit and acknowledged they fucked up on mod cabal because it's all trolling and none of it is real.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

I'd quit too if the dogs here were telling everyone I was bullying recipients by asking other mods if they think the situation requires an EPH. Not worth the aggro.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

Are you being deliberately obtuse?

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

are you?

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

Again, this, plus directly copying the recip's email and gift details into the server so everyone could find them, is what you're defending as innocently asking other mods if the situation requires a PH:


if it was a rewording of their letter and prompts...how can it be bashing...if their prompts aren't bashing?

i'm just like have they never gotten a gift they felt 'meh' about before?? just leave a short comment and move on

i really think they had a very specific idea of how they wanted it filled and it just didn't land and that’s why it feels something is off and that's when you go 'wow okay, this is something i should write on my own or commission and not request from a stranger'

i wonder if they thought i wouldn't verify...? and would just be like 'omg so sorry, i'll put you out for eph' idk lol

Re: Mod Cabal

This is the sum of the bad stuff A did? Seems pretty tame to me, though not particularly nice or respectful. I'm sure mods have said worse about me to other mods tbh, that's how it goes

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, the real meat of the drama is what EO said. But what EO said was caused by A bringing it to the mod server and starting the disrespectful comments about their participant, so fuck A too.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

ah, so A is the root cause? SUPER funny to see people care about the moral side, it’s just peak entertainment. watching both sides be mad is killing me. never thought ppl could melt down over something this tiny, and the mods jumping in on anon to defend themselves angrily? chef’s kiss wank.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

are you using ChatGPT to write these posts

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

Nah they just want to give themselves a little wank kudos, maybe kiss themselves on the lips for how clever they are.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

A, you're like, super obvious.

Re: Mod Cabal

Aurae can't blend.

"i wonder if they thought i wouldn't verify...? and would just be like 'omg so sorry, i'll put you out for eph' idk lol"

This is absolutely calling the recipient a liar, which I hope isn't standard mod behavior towards recipients who've done nothing wrong. Maybe it is.

Re: Mod Cabal

Do we know what DNW in particular was violated?

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

From what I understand, there wasn't a DNW violation, the recip just felt like something wasn't right with the fic. The mod was fine to reject their EPH request, but the mod behaved badly after rejecting the recip by trying to gain sympathy and validation from the other mods for their decision.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

Recip said that it was a rewording of their prompt and contained character bashing.

Earlier in the thread people who tracked it down said parts of the fic were directly lifted from the request word for word (not just 'following the prompt to write the fic') and that one of the characters had been made a flatly evil caricature.

I haven't read it because I don't know the fandom so I can't verify.

Re: Mod Cabal

[(Anonymous)]

You forgot this one:

I feel like I've seen this quite a few times, and it's not a lie. It goes:
• hurt feelings
• someone made me hurt
• it must be their fault

and if the first reason doesn't make sense, the person doesn't reevaluate the overall situation. They still believe they were injured, because they feel injured. (Because if not... what if they don't deserve to feel hurt? What if they're even in the wrong? too scary.) So they decide that it was a different injury, but still an injury.
