Social NintenZone Social 6.0 - L'Arachel Edition, Apparently?

[Deleted member]

This is like the second time that's just pathetic of all y'all

I know you're joking but I recall like 4 times on this site and at least once on other platforms.
oh wait sorry that's off site business

 

[staindgrey]

So I need to make a statement about Brelooming. I don't want the conversation to be dominated by what he did, but I really need to say my piece.

Without going into too many details, I knew he was faking his TB. I talked with him virtually every day. He approached me immediately after joining the site-- and before-- and basically talked to me every day with a new bit of chaos. I've been around these types before: compulsive liars who feel that their real life is so mundane that they need to create a new, outlandish life to gain the attention they crave from others. In truth, I should have called him out on all of this sooner, but without any substantial proof, I thought it better to simply keep talking with him so he'd get the attention he wanted without spreading that need further.

However, by the time he "got TB", I realized that this was the wrong move. Turns out I wasn't the only one he was constantly talking to. I was approached via PM by a number of people concerned for him, people who had apparently also "been talking to him for a long time". He roped a number of the Social regulars into his group of people to lie to, to validate his made up life with care and affection. I was asked specifically about what we should do for him, and I wanted so badly to say then and there, "Guys, he's faking." There was so much circumstantial evidence but no proof, so I didn't.

On a site I moderated about seven-eight years ago, a regular user faked his own death. Said he got cancer and had a month to live, then died a week later only for his relatives to tell our community via his Skype. But the admin was suspicious and used his knowledge through the site to look up the dude's Facebook to find that he had never had cancer and was alive and well; he'd rejoined the site as a new member immediately before his "death" so he could watch the site mourn him. It was ****ed up, but when the admin in question brought these findings public, there was an enormous backlash from members who didn't believe him or thought he'd overstepped his bounds in looking up his personal information like that.

This was all in the back of my mind when Brelooming started talking about the possibility of death. I knew-- I ****ing knew-- he was saying all this to build the idea up in our heads that he'd die. But everyone here had such genuine, heartbroken emotions over it that I was afraid a similar thing would happen if I tried to call him out. This is why I haven't been present the past week. I've been stewing and livid, unsure of whom I should tell or what I should do when a regular user is faking his own death and pulling on all my friends' heartstrings in a morbid, ****ed up, unforgivable way. I guess I'd hoped he wouldn't go through with it. But then he did, and I just wanted to scream.

So thank you, ClaTheBae @punished faygo Pyra and anyone else who did the digging, because I felt too powerless to. I was worried digging would prompt backlash, and paint the mods as uncaring. I thought my only option was to watch his IP address and bring it to the admins if he came back on another account. But now that everyone knows, that pit in my stomach isn't as deep anymore. I still feel ****ty, and I'm sorry that I didn't have the conviction to do something before he took all of you through the wringer. I did a poor job as both a moderator and as a friend. But I'll try not to let the experience make me cold to other people who approach me for help.

I just... gah. ****. ****ing ****.

Don't worry mate. I think everybody who thought something was up was too afraid to say "guys what if he's faking". The fact that you cared about how to respond in the first place shows you're a good mod man, don't beat yourself up over it.

Gonna be real with you, I don't like the fact that you kept it from us. I understand why, but I don't like it.

However, in my mind you're not the bad guy here. You were trying to handle a ****ed situation the best way you thought you could based on past experiences. You're not at fault here.

The only bad guy here is that asshole.

I almost want him to come back. I'm not blind, I realize how many of you seem to put me on some of pedestal for being friendly or whatever. I want to tell him personally, as the local "friendly pure good boi" how absolutely disgusting he is. How I never want to see him again.

But that's just a petty revenge fantasy, I should probably let it go.

I just... gah. ****. ****ing ****.

i was sort of thinking "this is progressing a little too quickly" throughout the week, especially when he was talking about stuff that had just been diagnosed, but ultimately i didn't want to look too much into it because that felt a little ****ed up.

his 'brother' talking in exactly the same way he did yesterday sealed the suspicion in my mind, but i still didn't want to bring it up (here or with 'him') on the off chance i was just being a paranoid idiot.

regardless, i'm glad to hear that the time i spent thinking i was doing something good was actually completely worthless.

Baboom leak is as real as my childhood dreams.

But osby I thought your childhood dreams were to always be a smashboards moderator?

 

[Strong Badam]

By the way, the 'evidence' in ClaTheBae's original post (page 6195 of the Ultimate social thread), which was removed on grounds of its censor dodging, has been edited back in with the offending censor dodging removed. It was never the mod team's intention to prevent the regulars of the thread from finding out the truth. In hindsight given the situation, editing out the censored words in the images would have probably been a better move. But the post was reported for censor dodging, and moderators were doing their job. Hopefully that explains some things.

 

[Noipoi]

I didn't even notice his brother types the same, christ i'm stupid.

he even asked me "Hey, could you tell me of good moments you had with 'Breloom'? I wanna know if he was loved."

That's completely fair. You're right to not like it. I don't like it. And I'm sorry.

Though even in these extreme scenarios, I'd appreciate if you didn't resort to flaming, because we still have rules to uphold. Trust me, I understand. I have a very hard time with letting things go; I hold grudges like no other and have actually refused to go to both my 5 and 10 year high school reunions because I'm convinced that if I see certain people again I'll fight them then and there and break a table or something. I'm not good at forgiving. Or forgetting. Like, at all.

My PMs and Discord are open if you want to rant somewhere where I won't have to warn you for flaming.

I just... gah. ****. ****ing ****.

Man, you don’t have to feel bad for this. You did nothing that prompted him to do this, and I totally understand you didn’t tell anyone. No one’s blaming you for that. I really don’t know what else to say, but you’re fine, man.

I feel the same way.
Truth be I rarely interacted with him and Breloom’s “brother” didn’t send me a message in the first place, so there weren’t any red flags for me to notice, but I still feel bad for not noticing them. It’s stupid, like a detective feeling bad for not solving a case that never existed...

Man, when I first heard the news, I knew it wasn’t going to be easy on you. I’d love to help you in any way I can, whether that be turning the MC server back on or whatnot.

If you want to talk, my Discord is Taykor F#2966.

If anyone wants to talk, contact me there.

(Lookin’ at you, Noi.)

So I need to make a statement about Brelooming. I don't want the conversation to be dominated by what he did, but I really need to say my piece.

Without going into too many details, I knew he was faking his TB. I talked with him virtually every day. He approached me immediately after joining the site-- and before-- and basically talked to me every day with a new bit of chaos. I've been around these types before: compulsive liars who feel that their real life is so mundane that they need to create a new, outlandish life to gain the attention they crave from others. In truth, I should have called him out on all of this sooner, but without any substantial proof, I thought it better to simply keep talking with him so he'd get the attention he wanted without spreading that need further.

However, by the time he "got TB", I realized that this was the wrong move. Turns out I wasn't the only one he was constantly talking to. I was approached via PM by a number of people concerned for him, people who had apparently also "been talking to him for a long time". He roped a number of the Social regulars into his group of people to lie to, to validate his made up life with care and affection. I was asked specifically about what we should do for him, and I wanted so badly to say then and there, "Guys, he's faking." There was so much circumstantial evidence but no proof, so I didn't.

On a site I moderated about seven-eight years ago, a regular user faked his own death. Said he got cancer and had a month to live, then died a week later only for his relatives to tell our community via his Skype. But the admin was suspicious and used his knowledge through the site to look up the dude's Facebook to find that he had never had cancer and was alive and well; he'd rejoined the site as a new member immediately before his "death" so he could watch the site mourn him. It was ****ed up, but when the admin in question brought these findings public, there was an enormous backlash from members who didn't believe him or thought he'd overstepped his bounds in looking up his personal information like that.

This was all in the back of my mind when Brelooming started talking about the possibility of death. I knew-- I ****ing knew-- he was saying all this to build the idea up in our heads that he'd die. But everyone here had such genuine, heartbroken emotions over it that I was afraid a similar thing would happen if I tried to call him out. This is why I haven't been present the past week. I've been stewing and livid, unsure of whom I should tell or what I should do when a regular user is faking his own death and pulling on all my friends' heartstrings in a morbid, ****ed up, unforgivable way. I guess I'd hoped he wouldn't go through with it. But then he did, and I just wanted to scream.

So thank you, ClaTheBae, punished faygo, Pyra and anyone else who did the digging, because I felt too powerless to. I was worried digging would prompt backlash, and paint the mods as uncaring. I thought my only option was to watch his IP address and bring it to the admins if he came back on another account. But now that everyone knows, that pit in my stomach isn't as deep anymore. I still feel ****ty, and I'm sorry that I didn't have the conviction to do something before he took all of you through the wringer. I did a poor job as both a moderator and as a friend. But I'll try not to let the experience make me cold to other people who approach me for help.

I just... gah. ****. ****ing ****.

...

Yup.

Not angry, just immensely disappointed.

Since this is the place to go until the Social thread starts back up, I just wanna voice my opinion on the Brelooming situation.

This is the THIRD ****ING TIME I've been a part of a community where someone fakes their death for attention.

I was suspicious purely because I've been through this sort of thing before, but Brelooming was a good kid (or so I thought), so I didn't want to call him out without good evidence.

I was a fool.

Can't wait for him to tell me Brie Larson is actually, in fact, advocating for baby-eating and for me to be fully convinced of it.
