Dear Endlasuresh. I have seen you posting with a lot of interest and passion whenever there is an accusation about some of the members here. A lot of accounts got negged during late 2017 when certain members decided to take things in their own hands and red tag people who were:
- Abusing bounty campaigns with multiple accounts.
- Posting one liners in 200 page threads to reach the minimum count
- Later started trading merit after merit was introduced.
They decided to hit back with what they had as moderators were unable to handle the flood themselves. A lot of accounts got purged in that time. A lot of those people retaliated against these members and a trend of new meta topic digging up small things started.
During this time, some of the old rivalries among DT members also came to light, especially in the case of Quickseller+OgNasty vs Lauda/aTriz/Pharmacist etc etc.
If you compare the work that people like Lauda have done against what a particularly consistent accuser has done, you can easily make a judgement as to who cared about the forum and spent their time trying to clean this shit up. In the two sides of this debate, people are only believing what they want to believe. This is a game of ego now as those who feel hurt by the "bad english" comments are all on one side. They all just want some of these people on a stake.
You are showing the same bias which is understandable given the rating you got. This is probably not letting you think from an unbiased viewpoint. For example, you quote here:
This thread was an example of what i said above. People trying to get even with these people by randomly connecting anything and trying to make it look suspicious.
You are asking what is wrong with suchmoon meriting that post. Can't you see the humor in that post? This had become such a trend that it became a standing joke, if Lauda does anything, a thread would be made by some newbie trying to malign them. The people who merited it just did it because it was amusing. There was nothing wrong with it yet you are trying to project it wrongly on suchmoon.
This has been happening on the forum for a long time. This long barrage of accusations (nurtured by two very senior members themselves, though i wonder how one of them ended up supporting the other except this being an "Enemy of my Enemy is a friend" scenario) led to a condition where taking a decision on the aTriz case took too long a time. All this while, people are trying to drag as many people into it as possible.
The case is now settled with aTriz negged or given neutral feedback by several members. Though I doubt that a certain individual are going to let this go ever. This is pretty sad for the forum but hey, this too shall pass.
