And they made Fish a mod LOL. Almost always shit takes, in the negative, but somehow he's someone who knows what should and shouldn't be on Gaming.
Deliberately crashing a community into the ground because they're afraid of no-no speak.
Huh, I take a break from Gaming for a few months and this happens.
It sounds like there's been a lot more drama going on there than what this screenshot alludes too.
The basic rundown of what happened:
It all happened over the last week. Hexen made a post pointing out the Holocaust museum map added to Fortnite. Lots of comments were pointing out that the Holocaust was fake. They ended up being censored by CisSiberianOrchestra, and then the entire post was censored. I messaged Hexen to let him know what happened. Hexen then started pushing Cis's buttons by making fun of the bullshit "no racism" rule, and those posts were censored. Hexen then made another legitimate gaming post, with no racism in it, and that was censored.
Then there was a meta post where people were talking about what was going on in the forum, and rightfully criticized what Cis was doing. Cis claimed he censored the comments and posts because it was "brigading", which doesn't make sense. Cis threw a tantrum, modded Fishyman420, the most hated user there, pinned a message to the forum admitting that he did it just to spite the forum and the users, and then stepped down as a mod. If all the censored stuff was due to brigading, Cis wouldn't have punished the entire community, unless he hated the community.
People quickly got wind that Fishy was now a mod, people rapidly declared the forum was dead, started unsubbing from the forum, and criticized Fishy's hypocrisy and poisonous behavior in further meta threads about the situation. Fishy claimed he would be a magnanimous hyper efficient mod, being fair (except to the evil racists and Nazis), and that he didn't need any mod help (he didn't want to mod anyone else and take away from his power trip), and then he began censoring stuff. To his credit, he did approve certain posts and comments, but the dude is a known liar and hypocrite.
The entire community knew the "no racism" rule and what Cis censored was bullshit. C/gaming is pretty genuine. I never see brigading there. Pretty much all the users there want the "no racism" rule removed entirely or severely neutered.
In any case, I'm pretty sure C (the site wide admin) removed Fishy as mod, deleted Cis's pinned "fuck you" message, and now the forum is having an open discussion about who should become mod(s), and what the rules are going to be.
