Social Ultimate Social Thread: Under Construction. Be Back Soon!

[Deleted member]

I am so ****ing disgusted

Me too Noipoi.
Me too.

 

[Zinith]

Alright, I'm fully aware of everything that has happened and I'm trying to process this as calmly and collectively as I can...

 

[Luigi The President]

Holy **** he tried to get me involved


When he told me he had a girlfriend I asked him how to flirt, y'know, cuz I have zero dating experience. He told me he learned my roleplaying on discord, and tried to invite me to a roleplay session.

I declined because that's weird and i'm not into that.

I was this close

I am so ****ing disgusted

You PM me if you need to sonboy, I and many others love you.

 

[ZephyrZ]

And now people are brigading Shiny for being legitimately angry? That's absolutely disgusting, and I'm disappointed in anyone who engaged in such egregious behavior.

In fact, I'm disappointed in general.

With that said, I'm going to apologize to @ShinyLegendary .

Without context, it looked like he was just going on one of his moral crusades. Some of us had no idea what happened until just now, and people weren't explaining.

Edit: Yikes that sounded judgemental. Uh I don't really know how to word it better.

 

[Deleted member]

Some of you definitely need to chill out. Leave ShinyLegendary alone. If you think he's spamming, report the posts as spam, let the moderators deal with it, and leave it at that.

Yeah I jumped the gun. Sorry @ShinyLegendary. I had no idea this happened and couldn't understand what you were saying.

 

[Hinata]

Indeed. The evidence we acquired made it clear he was planning on targeting others after he grew bored with his current victims.

Truly, we stopped him in the nick of time.

 

[Iridium]

Seems like we will never have a normal day here. Never.

 

[Deleted member]

Thank you all for being sympathetic.
I never had something terrible like this happen to me before.
I hope you all have a good E3.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

I don't believe it...

I really don't believe it...

I had legitimate conversations with a pedophile...

All the PMs he sent me have a much more terrifying perspective now...

I didn't list my age when he first got here, so I wonder if thought I was a kid. However, once I listed it as 20, he pretty much stopped talking to me all together

It all makes sense

 

[CannonStreak]

Now that I know what happened with Shiny, and with Brelooming, I understand now. If I said anything wrong to you, @ShinyLegendary , or about you, I apologize.

But man, still, this whole thing about Brelooming is messed up. Can't we just let it go?

I mean this really has gotten out of hand, and is getting out of control. We don't want this thread to be locked again.

 

[Noipoi]

This is why my parents wouldn't let me have friends on those kid websites like Animal Jam or whatever

I always thought they were being silly, "Nothing's gonna happen to me, it's fine"

I was almost a victim

I am actually shaking right now

 

[Mythra]

Shiny is a Brave Man and you know it.

 

[Shroob]

I was pissed but whatever for the death fake out.


This is unforgivable.

 

[Noipoi]

Thank you all for being sympathetic.

Shiny you take all the goddamn time you need

Anyone with a problem is gonna hafta go through me

I'm glad you realized what was happening before he roped you into it.

This site just isn't safe anymore.
Just look at the amount of staff in here waiting to jump on the chance to be like "y'all shut up and stop misbehaving" or something.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Well, since it was already dropped, might as well give you the whole story.

Brelooming Disaster was not a 13-year-old kid. He was a late-20-something man, who messaged a few underage users around here and forced them to roleplay erotic situations with him. I will not post the evidence in such a public space, but know that there is in fact physical evidence to support these claims.

yeah soo..
yeah... soo... so um.

I um.. I... I need to listen to some Lounge music

 

[SneakyLink]

To lighten the mood... have another Schoolhouse Rock song I can’t get out of my head:

 

[Noipoi]

I'm glad you realized what was happening before he roped you into it.

BUT I DIDN'T

I thought the roleplay was weird, but I had no idea this was happening.

I have problems saying no to people, if I had agreed I would've have been next.

 

[Raxxel]

I'm ****ing disgusted. I was previously regretful of not knowing this person when I thought they passed. Now I am grateful as ever. I'm ****ing deleting the drawing.

@ShinyLegendary I am so sorry. You deserve better than this.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

To the modmins who infracted memes in response to Brelooming's fake death. I have one thing to say:

Shame on you.

By infracting users you have punished them for what should be a valid method of emotional release.

Didn't everyone on this site say "there's no wrong way to grieve?" I don't see why it's the same thing with coping.

Who cares about Brelooming? They're not a user on this site. They'd deleted their account long before this.

Nothing about this scenario violates the ToS, and any attempt to use the ToS to justify your actions is nothing more than twisting the truth.

For a site that claims mental health is important you sure don't act like it.

 

[Coricus]

Oh hoooooly crap

Both of Breloom's alts were other regulars

One of them was someone I thought I gave legitimate emotional support to during a dark time in their life

Holy freaking crap

How long has he been doing all this?!

 

[Deleted member]

I mourned him

I promised to honor his memory

Everyone mourned for him, Everyone.

I even mourned for him and I'm usually distant to this sort of stuff, I cried for that ***** *** *******. He's unforgivable. He invaded our community, Hurt Children, Hurt everyone in general, Lied, FAKED HIS OWN DEATH AND MADE EVERYONE MOURN FOR HIM, And did some irredeemable ****.

And you know what? YOU KNOW WHAT? The Mods/Admins did nothing about it their job is to make sure the users are protected and safe then they allowed someone to come in here and hurt CHILDREN ****ing CHILDREN not only did Children get emotionally manipulated and backstabbed but they also got groomed by grown *** men. This isn't right, It just isn't.

"Brelooming" can go shove it. And Admins? You should fix your dirty system it allowed something like this to happen this shouldn't ever happen again, Okay? Okay. Thanks.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

I would like to think that the "users" in general were banned. In addition, while I'm sure it's not as if Mods or admins want it made public specifically that there was a pedophile, it would probably be a good idea to at least tell people there's a pedophile on the boards, or that there was.

Christ on a cracker. What a ridiculous situation. I'm completely disgusted.

(also not to say that people were right to tell Shiny to chill, but it truly did seem like rambling until given proper context. That **** makes alllllllll the difference.)

 

[Shroob]

PM me who the **** his alts were.

 

[Aurane]

Again. I apologize. To not just Shiny but everyone.

I should of care to read the context.

 

[Hinata]

Oh hoooooly crap

Both of Breloom's alts were other regulars

One of them was someone I thought I gave legitimate emotional support to during a dark time in their life

Holy freaking crap

Sadly, it's entirely possible there are other victims we don't know about. As you said, his other accounts were regulars around here, and existed long before the "Brelooming Disaster" account.

 

[Luigi The President]

Now that I know what happened with Shiny, and with Brelooming, I understand now. If I said anything wrong to you, @ShinyLegendary , or about you, I apologize.

But man, still, this whole thing about Brelooming is messed up. Can't we just let it go?

I mean this really has gotten out of hand, and is getting out of control. We don't want this thread to be locked again.

If they lock this thread because they can't handle several people expressing their disgust that most of them, as regulars, are upset that another regular, one which many users were friends with, was outted as a pedophile, then that's their mis-step. Not ours.

Just letting this go is the greatest injustice we can commit.

The fact that we even have to be worried about this thread being locked due to the reasons I mentioned, says a whole lot.

 

[TheMightyP]

Wait WHAT!?

A while back, he posted a selfie of himself, who looked like a 14 year old kid. I can't remember the day, but it looked like a slightly chubby kid, who I believe was wearing a green shirt, and I think the pic was in the bathroom.


Some one fill me on the specific deets please.

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Alright people...if you want a mod to share their entire thoughts, here you go.

to be quite frank...this is sad. I feel bad for everyone that's had to deal with emotional pain, especially with the fake death scandal that has occured over the past few hours. Do I know the nitty gritty? No. But I know that it has been a terrible event and it's unfortunate that it had to happen. We as a staff want this place to be a place of comfort and enjoyment for all, talking about video games and culture and escaping from life...that's what Smashboards is supposed to be about. This is why Gideon made the site in the first place. I seriously LOVE it here...but I can't take this position anymore. This place is meant to be a safe haven, but no matter how hard we try to reach said goal, the goal never seems to be reached.

Whether I'm moderating Nintenzone or dropping by to say hello on Social, there's nothing but vinegar thrown everywhere half the time. And, when there are plenty of people that want to make the site better for all, it seems like walls are built no matter what happens instead of bridges. To be quite frank, I'm tired of dealing with this crap. Besides, I have too much going on right now in my personal life to deal with this kind of drama right now.

So...I'm resigning from my moderator position. I've loved my time as a moderator, and perhaps I will return to such a position one day. But right now, do I want to be a moderator? Do I think it's the right time to be a moderator right now, considering both all that has happened recently, in the past with this forum, and with my personal life?

...No. Not a chance.

I can't take this crap right now. The drama on this site is part of the reason why I'm quitting in the first place. Couple that with personal life drama, with how I feel like a failure every single day, whether I try to moderate on here or try to do my best at my job...I've had enough.

I hope that you all have enjoyed having me as a moderator. If so, I'm glad that I could help in the effort of making this forum feel more at home for you. If not, I'm sorry. I do all I can, but I'm not Superman, as much as I hate to admit it. I did all I could to help in the effort of running this site more efficiently...and that's all I can really do.

 

[Wyoming]

Wow actual grooming on this website...unreal.

To the victims of his do not be afraid to ask for support to someone you trust. And no I do not mean only on here specifically. Like an adult you trust you in your every day life preferably.

Moderators/admin; if you receive the proof please act diligently. Get the law involved if possible.

That's why i said i don't blame him and also promptly blew up as well
I wasn't gonna go into specifics but the bomb has been dropped.

 

[Noipoi]

Look i'm not saying I have it worse than the people that were actually ****ing abused by this monster

but I feel very afraid right now

 

[staindgrey]

That is absolutely not why we're here Toaster.

Wait... can one of y'all PM me? I think I know about one, for sure. I was wondering why they've been absent lately...

I am sick to my stomach.

Not you. You're one of the few good modmins here.

You're what modmins should be.

You have every right to be. Just because you managed to escape him doesn't mean you're any less a victim. You managed to avoid his predatory invites, but you were still a victim of receiving them.
