@otatop

Stop using this thread as a grievance blog.

But the programming thread is OK to be Goofy’s personal grievance blog

@MrJbroRisen

I’m totally shocked that the “unbiased” mod is supporting a former user taking a dump on the forum

If vict0ar wants to come back even after extorting $90 from goofy who am I to stop him?

So you really love lying. That’s nice.

[Jalfrezi]

I was reporting a personal attack in a supposedly high content thread so it could be moderated.

[TimBuktuuf]

Well I am shocked.

Hopefully all it takes for the drama and incessant whining to stop is just a few more people to leave.

Also how dare someone leave unstuck, create another place to post, and then return to unstuck to post again. Definitely can’t see anyone doing that for more than a day. Definitely not for years!

[MaxCut]

Congrats on your nomination and GL in the vote! I hope you bring to moderation the same quality work you bring to this bit you guys are doing.

[MaxCut]

So Goof Baller programmed his forum bots to do his creepy following all around the forum trolling a user for him. That at least has an element of humor. Not sure how the members will feel about that going on in their threads. Hey @eyebooger, some quality goofyball work happening.

[hammypotter]

lol that’s hilarious

[otatop]

Yesterday it was “wah wah wah goofyballer turned off his bots” and today it’s “wah wah wah goofyballer made his bots call vict0ar a scammer” I guess he should just change their avatars to call vict0ar a scammer then everyone would be content.

[MimosaDef]

Wait, the $90 avatar isn’t making fun of Victur for being too cheap to pay off his debts?

[econophile]

Apparently I was way ahead of the curve on banning the Trump bot

[Aofrantic]

No, it’s laughing that they “got away with it” more or less.

[otatop]

@MaxCut very cute

[CaffeineNeeded]

Let’s take a trip down deleted user memory lane

From the Self Temp Ban Request Thread

@Vict0ar

You guys win. Perma immediately on 2 conditions.

1. Refund all Patreon money. I payed that money in as a co-owner. Instead rules were unilaterally placed to bully me and others. I paid for a product and it was not provided as promised.
2. Also delete all my posts as I have a stalker who has threatened physical and professional harm to me.

The discussion then moved over to the Donations thread

@anon29622970

This issue came up in another thread. Are you able to confirm @■■■■■■■ donated roughly $90 or the correct amount?

It’s not my decision to make alone, but if he is dissatisfied is there a process to refund his donations? I realize this isn’t great precedent to set, or has it already happened before? Maybe could be reviewed in some way on a case by case basis?

Self Temp Ban Request Thread - #233

Looking quickly at the file I have, $90 seems accurate.

This hasn’t been done in the past, but I believe Victor has raised this point before (with no resolution). It’s possible that there’s some discussion on the topic earlier, but I haven’t searched for it and I don’t recall who weighed in or what they said.

I will say that I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to unilaterally decide to refund any money - I’m just a steward for the community’s money and would abide by their expressed views.

@goofyballer

How about, I’ll send you $90 and you can pay Victor back his $90 without feeling like you’re taking from the community funds? Everyone gets what they want!

@spidercrab

@goofyballer

Not sure if this is serious, but sure?

@goofyballer

Yeah, absolutely serious. PM me a paypal address or whatever and once Victor’s ban request is handled I’ll send.

@vict0ar

pay me before banning and before goofy sends. we all know how he operates and the type of character he has.

So now ■■■■■■■ has hinted that goofy isn’t going to pay up and it’s all a ruse to get him banned, let’s see where this goes

@goofyballer

Dozens of people in the Discord (including some of your friends) will vouch for my integrity here; I have handled thousands of dollars of their money with their complete trust. Will anyone vouch for yours? I don’t trust you to not welch.

I wonder if this will go anywhere

@Vict0ar

how can I welch if I am permabanned? like that is out of my control.

you are the person who has relentlessly attacked me for months, following me to threads and calling me out in threads when I am not even participating. you are the one who vehemently defends a dangerous mentally unstable serial doxxer “for fun”.

it doesnt matter how much money you have paid out to your likeminded gang of bullies, I have no reason to trust you. if you welched, you all would have a great laugh about it. just like how you guys laugh about the disgusting actions of our former admin. its what bullies do.

in fact, that is almost surely your angle here.

Again accusing goofy of angling to get him banned with no intention of sending him the $90.

@goofyballer

Anyway I just sent @spidercrab the $90, which he can confirm, so Victor’s trust in me (lol) no longer has any relevance here. I just ask that you wipe Victor before sending it to him so that he can’t welch. Thanks!

@Vict0ar

@goofyballer

I just ask that you wipe Victor before sending it to him so that he can’t welch.

how can I welch? it doesnt even make sense.

@spidercrab

I’ll either ship back to goofy or ship to Victor

why would you do anything but ship it to me? Riverman and meb are dying to permaban me. like they are literally hard right now. like you think if all of a sudden I say, “oh hey guys I changed my mind, I dont want to be banned” that those authoritarians would not ban me?

@spidercrab

but tbh it seems gross to pay someone to leave.

you are paying me bc of thievery.

and its not like I just brought this up. I requested this from you, via Patreon, months ago.

@spidercrab

I’m definitely regretting getting involved.

@Vict0ar

why would you do anything but ship it to me?

If I’m understanding things correctly, I will either:

• Ship $90 to you if you’re banned, or
• Ship the $90 back to goofy if you’re not

Isn’t that what you wanted?

@Vict0ar

you are paying me bc of thievery.

and its not like I just brought this up. I requested this from you, via Patreon, months ago.

I’ve never checked Patreon messages before, sorry. But looking at the message you sent, you just offered the same deal that you offered in this post: refund your donations in exchange for you never posting again.

I never accepted that deal, and I don’t even think it’s my call to accept that deal. And I’m absolutely not accepting any deal that even hints that I’m paying someone off because of thievery.

@goofyballer

@spidercrab

it seems gross to pay someone to leave.

I mean it’s a happy resolution to a sticky situation, right? Like just look at Victor’s posts, he thinks money he *donated* is owed back to him because he’s not happy with how the forum was run afterwards (and has been bugging you about this for months?!?), which is total clown shit. I’m sure he made this request knowing it’s problematic and untoward to assert that freely donated money should give you extra say over how the site is run (as that is the obvious consequence of thinking you can demand your money back if you don’t like what’s going on; you make the site suffer financially if you don’t get your way).

So, this is the escape hatch. Everyone’s happy and gets what they want without UP having to give in to this terrorist.

@Vict0ar

@beetlejuice

i sent goofy thousands of dollars and he honored our agreement very professionally and quickly by sending me several “tubby cats” which plummeted in value almost immediately. so i’d vouch that he’s honorable

I have no doubt that he is honorable to you. but he has spread lies and attacked me for months. he has backstabbed me and trolled me. and now he defends a serial abuser against me. so I dont trust him bc he is a bully to me.

also, there is incentive in your interactions with him. if he screws you over then he may lose some forum respect. if he fucks me over than you sycophants would slurp him even harder.

@spidercrab

Ok, I’ve just sent $90 to Victor, which should put an end to all of this.

For the tl;dr crowd, the key points here are the first and last quoted post.

[King_of_NY]

@otatop

extorting $90 from goofy

can you point out the extortion?

[smrk4]

the threat of continued posting I think

[otatop]

Sorry, poor choice of words on my part. I deleted the post so as not to impugn Vict0ar’s stellar reputation.

[hammypotter]

Leftism is when the rich posters pay the poor posters to go away.
