Bigot Brigade Something Awful and Friends - The roller-coaster train-wreck embarrassing downfall of a Web 1.0 giant and its tick offspring like from Cloverfield

I appreciate Literally a Bird's post, as it affirms that everyone running SA is a manipulative psychopath whose only interest is in exploiting moral panics for power. Not actual power, just deeply trivial and largely worthless power on a dying internet forum that is currently less trafficked than places like Ebaumsworld.

Her posts aren't the only things I appreciate about literally a bird

I don't have an SA account, I'd heard that secondhand, but someone who does should be able to get them from that QCS FYAD thread Jeffery made.

It's in the second post in the thread that is an actual skyscraper, she says there was so much drama with the mods saying fyad doxes people and the admins wouldn't do anything about it that it made Bird upset enough for people to notice:

I had two nervous breakdowns that month [December 2019]. I was pulled aside by a colleague for a suicide check. After work I would go to my boyfriend’s apartment and just cry for an hour and a half and then go home and go back to the hostility and the anger and the bad faith and the hatred

Jeffery looks extremely incompetent in all this. He basically said "good news guys everyone who manipulated people is gone (trust me) leaving only the utter retards that fell for that shit to begin with! They'll run the site well!"

It's actually stupider than that. Here's the quote from Jeffrey:

I was present for the moderator discussion of these issues, as the presiding admin. Most of the mods who believed these things were acting in good faith, but I feel obligated to state plainly that not all of them were. Some members of the team and some regular users had their own agenda here, and sought to use this crisis as a mean to gain website power for themselves and their friends. This is the uncomfortable reality of the situation - I failed to prevent a Serious Forums Issue from becoming a venue for people seeking power to spread misinformation and FUD. I do not think it is in any way appropriate to use the very real fears of doxxing and harassment by LGBT folks in a bid for website power, but that is what occurred. These same folks were also involved in going behind the admins' backs to talk to lowtax directly, with all of the disastrous consequences that entailed. I believe this issue has been put to rest within the mod team itself, it isn't a problem any more, and I will work to keep it that way. I am sorry that I failed to prevent the consequences of this from reaching users last time, and it is not a mistake I will make again.

Notice he doesn't actually say much. The thread refuses to let anyone name names except for Koala's March. who as far as I know was the only one actually demodded alongside Party Plane Jones.

Lightning Knight was allowed to stay for some reason, and he was definitely involved.

He later says this:

He's weaseling.

As an aside, KF really is an eternal bogeyman:

Isn't being a bogeyman fun?

You don't say.

Best part about that user getting banned was that screenshot was fake, too.

C-SPAM has an e-begging thread. It appears to be a delightful place.

Synthetic Dreams is a delightful fellow needing quite a bit of help. And he posted his PayPal link, which exposes the full name "Timothy Durkin."

Subsequent to this, a new rule was posted:

They've lost a lot of money to typos, it would seem.

Many also fell victim to Synthetic Dreams. You know what they say about a fool and his money.

Calling it a hostile environment is so understated it could be laughable. Anything we did was not enough. There were dozens, scores if not hundreds of probations, bans, permabans – starting from night one. The voices in the mod forum repeatedly told the forums we were doing “nothing.” We all worked full time jobs. We all had lives and duties outside of the forums. We were all spending every spare moment trying to fix or solve or help or even just stem the bleeding of this crisis. This was not respected, it was not a factor, it did not matter. We weren’t doing enough, we weren’t doing it fast enough, we were doing the wrong things. We were overwhelmed and overstressed and being attacked on all sides and by this point the stress and hostility and constant, constant assumptions of malice and bad faith behind any action we took had shaken us so badly we were tripping on our own feet and grabbing desperately at air.

The wages of Social Justice is Death.

You reaped this Literally. You and Jeff. And of course, people like Ozma and The Finn before you.

You promoted these mods, you encouraged them. You let them create their fiefdoms of crazy and come down on wrongthink and then you bloo bloo when they come for you. Then you get driven off.
