Hello everyone and specifically @Roy!

 

As you've probably seen by now, "@SoJa" posted a very cryptic message for Roy last night. This was to tease our GFL Merch Store, as well as to hint at a surprise for Roy from the community.

We wanted to surprise you with a collection of some of our favorite GFL merch, as well as one custom design created specifically for you! All of this is already ordered and will be shipped to you ASAP! Your GFL "care package" will include the following GFL merch:

and FINALLY...............................

 

 

 

A custom "Employee of the Month" style plaque, printed on metal, to thank you for all you've done for GFL since the beginning. We would not be where we are with out you Roy.

Hello everyone! Just going to jump right in on this thread, and will be sharing many screenshots where neccesary:

I was treated like an absolute cunt during this whole thing by Salad, Infra and Liloz as they put it down to me being mad I was demoted, when that wasn't it at all. I was mad at the lack of communication the Council had said they wanted. When I said this, I was "omegalul'd" to death and told "Communication was the announcement", "Communication isn't needed"

To make this abundantly clear, we listened to the community about their complaints of transparency and communication and admitted that we made a mistake in how we handled that decision. I personally went to every single Discord moderator who was demoted and apologized for this, and you accepted the apology. 

I am confused as to why you would bring this up once again, when I and most everyone else has tried our hardest to move past this, yet here you are bringing it up once more in an attempt to strengthen this argument.

Things were good for a month or so after that, until Salad (Again) decided to do whatever he wanted and promoted his friend, JG, into the Social Media Team. This may not seem like a bad thing, but he never applied, he was just given the role. The reasoning for this is that he helped set up the Twitch, but an app should've been made and I bet it would've been accepted anyway, but Salad felt the need to skip this, not taking into account how his team would like it. And one team member who I won't name spoke up about it, saying that it felt unfair that he was just promoted with no app and that it could make others who did apply and were accepted/denied feel lesser because of it. I then said it's Council promoting who they want and no one gets a say, then proceeded to say that apps should be made regardless of the person to be fair to the other Team Members. I was told by Salad not to comment because I'm not a part of the Social Media Team, completely invalidating me even though this wasn't a team specific issue, this was a Salad wanting his friend to be promoted. Salad then proceeded to dismiss his team members feelings with "corporate sounding babble". My "going off" on Salad here led to my first demotion from Gmod Discord Moderator, which was weird as it had nothing to do with that role, but because Salad is a Senior Mod (temp mod btw), he had a say in it and advocated for my demotion despite his clear hatred of me. I was then almost demoted from SM too until I left every discord except from Gmod, Staff and Teams, and promised to watch what I say and keep things to DMs.

 

Here we have an example of you inserting yourself into a situation because you dislike me. You say that "Salad (Again) decided to do whatever he wanted..." Which is provably false. I did not make this decision alone. @Infra was just as involved in the decision as I was. So your narrative of me/Council being the root of all of your problems is weakening by the minute. You say I dismissed Joel's feelings, which is provably false:

Here you see joels complaint being made, however Infra and I were both asleep when it occurred so you interjected on something that could've been handled by the people involved.

 

after a bit more discussion here's another screenshot of the same conversation minutes later:

After the matter, Infra and I spoke to Joel privately and listened to his concerns and apologized fully to him, all which was going to happen much more privately and with a lot less of attention had you not interjected into a situation that you had no place in joining. A mountain was created out of a molehill by you.

 

I'm now going to address your claims that I am the reason you received your demotions. I am HEAVILY involved in several of the aspects of the community, such as holding a moderation position as well as a council position. As I told you in our DMs which you posted publicly on this thread already, I was not the only person involved. I don't have an all powerful say to get someone demoted. I can only provide the evidence necessary to prove why someone is unfit to hold a position, which is evidence you've provided on many occasions.

I should've kept everything to Internal

You acknowledge that you should've kept everything internal/in DMS , yet continue to say negative things about those you do not trust?

Here's a screenshot for context on what was said about me in the TTT Rotation chat in the GMOD Discord:

Serenity changed his profile picture to match mine as a joke, and Waylon said that Serenity was a knock off Salad, and then enters Duck with a jab at me, something he should be wary of doing considering our history. 

To which I responded:

And then Duck came straight to my DMs assuming that I was "out to get him" for "criticizing me" :

You are the one who provoked this situation, as you did with all of the other ones pertaining me. You made the snarky comment in GMOD Discord, you DM'd me about it.

 

For a little backstory on some of the other fun times Duck has aired his "criticisms" of me publicly, lets take a trip down memory lane with one specific instance, that of me becoming a GMOD Server Manager:

This all occurred in the Main GFL Discord general text channel.

Duck assumed that I received my manager position due to favoritism, when I am the one who discovered and brought the gamemoded to Pyros, and who expressed interest in managing the Server. Yet another flawed criticism handled very poorly by a Server Manager in a public place.

He then proceeded to go into the GFL Teams Discord server, where he continued his rant, only to be shut down yet again due to his criticisms that all base around his dislike for me.

(Side note: Notice how I am the one criticisized by Duck? Infra was present and is my CO TL for Social Media, Pyros is the Division Leader who selected me to become a Server Manager, yet I receive the backlash? )

It just feels like once a member of Council wants you gone, the rest will fall in line to make it happen.

 

Once a single member of Council brings to light the poor judgement, behavior, and all around character of someone who is a Server Manager of GFL, the rest tend to fall in line as there is proof upon proof upon proof. 

 

You attempted to go over Ben's head to Nick and even Roy over your demotion from moderator and had a nice lengthy conversation with Nick about your behavior and the way you conduct yourself, and you yourself once again could not hold a civil conversation and air your grievances in a professional and contained manner, and continued to act out publicly after being informed it was not the proper thing to do, regardless of if it was a joke you made about me or not. 

 

I could go on, however I have not received permission to post any other staff chat conversations, so I will leave it at this for now. The points I didn't touch on are points that have nothing to do with me, so I have no place to speak on them without knowing the full story, something that more people need to think about when replying.

 

Feel free to respond to any of my points and piles of screenshots.
