Leaving a Comment on Site Founder’s User Wall Led to Account Ban

Wimpyfox’s own paraphrase after the incident (original message removed): “You betrayed your own community for some randos on bluesky, you should resign[.]”

Alleged actual message: “You betrayed your entire community. Please resign and pass all moderator responsibilities onto people who actually care about us, not randos on bluesky.”

[Editor’s note: user intends to appeal the ban. Update: the ban has been lifted by a different moderator, as least for the time being. ]

I’m getting this out of the way since I’m already getting DMs about my disappearance:

I left the admin/moderation teams and have temporarily left the Discord servers. I cannot support caving into an idiotic vocal minority over doxing, harassment, threats, etc. instead of outright banning them or fighting back. I’ve said it countless times: it is absolutely no one’s business what other people play and people who want to make it their business can just fuck off.

I personally don’t give a shit about any of the games in question, but I defend their existence on the site because RA is a supplementary service. The implication and accusations that we are supportive of RApe, RAcism, etc. over allowing games that include such things is fucking absurd and I think is impossible to take seriously. If it’s not those things, it’ll be something else. The likelihood of a domino effect in asskissing is something that I’ll have no part of, so good luck with that mess. I imagine the ridiculous UWC reports will also end up working since all it takes is threatening our “staff” for people to get their way and it’s incredibly easy to do. Thanks, internet.

I’ll continue doing hash management and maintaining RAPatches, if allowed, but I believe that will be the extent of what I do. Who knows how long that will last, though. I think continuing as a developer is up in the air at the moment, but that could fizzle out and leave no point to me contributing altogether. In the meantime, I’ll need others to take over DevJam, DevQuest 004, and a few other things. I’ll be in touch soon(tm).

For now, I’m taking a break from dealing with anyone.

We understand there are questions about recent moderation actions. When an account’s only activity is attempting to escalate tensions, we treat it as disruptive rather than legitimate engagement.

Remind me how many points or sets do the users who recently joined and are taking over this site as the morality police have?

And yes I’m directly referencing xkeeper and succintandpunchy for being complete sociopaths with no history on this site, rolling in and doing nothing but what you’ve described in your quote.

Ten years I’ve been here and I’ve never seen Scott do something so incredibly stupid as this. My account is gone in 14 days. That’s all these new accounts have done.

The DARVO and gaslighting around them accusing everyone else of doing exactly what they’re doing has created an incompatibility with skill expression in games and morality.

You don’t have the best players if you aren’t agnostic to the content of the games and curating what or what isn’t included due to the morality of these disruptive internet nomads.

This is unchecked cluster B behavior that is socially acceptable for some bizarre reason despite nearly the entire actual community with history here saying they don’t want this here.

I will drop this fucking site in a heartbeat I don’t care how many points I have if you don’t rein this shit in.

Just stopping by to give a little +1 to this gang of misfits. Like Nadia, I’ve also felt no desire to contribute further after seeing the recent announcements, they left a very sour taste in my mouth. I’ve considered asking for my developer role to be removed, but it probably wouldn’t accomplish anything, moreso [sic] just a form of protest. In your case it’s much more significant, I respect that you stood by your principles.

It really is disappointing to see the cultural shift that’s been going on here over the past 5 years, although the end result isn’t totally unexpected, the signs were there. Maybe with enough support for a contrasting opinion to the current status quo a better middle ground can be reached eventually.
