Title: WTF HAPPENED YESTERDAY??!?!

WARNING: this post is very disturbing so be aware

Yesterday, at about 20:00 site time, the user UserA posted a feed alleging of a former staff member, UserB, past and seemingly recent predatory behavior. In the spoiler below are the screenshots they used in their feed to prove this but keep in mind, they are horribly disgusting and highly disturbing.

As the day went on, many people such as myself shared their support for the victims in #SpeakOut. But also as time went on, no public action by the moderator staff was taken to even reassure people that they were working on it. Instead they locked some people and deleted all feeds with the proof, on the basis of naming and shaming, which caused people to panic because they had no clue what was going on. In addition to this, it caused several misinformed users to stand up for UserB, with one of whom making racist comments in the process. Luckily as of now this issue has been mostly resolved, with UserB being removed from the staff and hopefully locked (as locks dont come into effect until the user comes on again). However this event pointed out key problems in our staffing system.

How the Moderator Staff failed
In my eye, the moderators biggest failure after this bombshell dropped was deleting the feeds with proof and not publicly stating that they were working on it. Over the several hours this took place, at least 2 moderators were on at a time, meaning they had many opportunities to correct their mistakes by locking UserB temporarily until they could figure out what to do or reassuring the community that they were working on it, neither of which they did.

However that wouldn't have been necessary if they had just removed UserB from the site back in 2019. In 2019, several private allegations were made against UserB of predatory behavior. In response, the moderators removed her from the wiki staff and nothing else. However, back in June of 2020, she was readded to the staff for some reason, even tho she continued with her predatory behavior, as one of my friends, codenamed Ganz for the sake of this, told me. They returned in August of 2020 after a several year hiatus and began chatting with UserB. UserB after a while, began making more predatory comments, so this wasn't a one time thing! The staff knew about it but did absolutely nothing to stop it! If you catch a kid stealing from a cookie jar, you dont let the kid have the cookie but push the jar alittle farther back, you send that kid up to their room and throw away the cookies to teach them a lesson!

How can we fix this
As I've stated in the past, both privately and publicly, that the moderator staff are all in the "PH Elite" so while they do do their job, if their best friend is reported for something their job and judgment comes into question. Will they do the right thing or sweep it under the rug? We cant be sure so to combat this the answer is simple, add people who aren't in the PH Elite, however it's not that easy. The mod staff, to their credit, act like adults most of the time when dealing with stuff, whereas many users on site have shown to do the exact opposite, so then you say "Well just add older users, problem solved!" Guess what? It isnt as older users have also show to be terribly immature and the ones that aren't immature, ARE IN THE PH ELITE!!! However, im not saying that all the mods are bad, but I'd be willing to sacrifice some calm moderators for some moderators who aren't in the elite because, if worse comes to worse, they might do the right freaking thing.

*Reyna's eyes began to tear up as she looked at Xel. She placed her head into her hands and began to silently weep. Xel stood up and sat next to Reyna to try and comfort her but she moved to her make up table and opened up the drawer, grabbing a piece of paper from within it and handing it to Xel.* Take it. *Xel slowly reached his hand out and grabbed the paper and looked at it as Reyna began to speak in a tearful voice* That night I went to her for help and beg for her forgiveness. She practically raised me. She could've just left me outside in the cold but instead she took me in. A hungry little Polish girl and treated me with nothing but love. And how did I repay her? By betraying her trust. And now she's dead and I'm back to where I was so many years ago. Lost. *Xel's eyes widened as he looked at the paper and Reyna began to lose control of her self* You have to believe me! I would never kill her!

	After Shawn left the room, Reyna lifted her head back up and looked at Xel. At this point, her entire calm and collected facade was gone. Do you believe me? Do you believe I'm innocent? [Read more]

	Reyna continued to sit with her hands on her eyes. After several silent seconds, she collected herself enough to speak in a deep whisper. I want to talk to the kid. Alone, Detective.. [Read more]

*Reyna could feel her heart start to beat faster as Detective Westling asked for her reason why she was at the party. At this point she was struggling to keep her hand from shaking. She put out her cigarette and began to lie* Like I said, I needed to give her a piece of my mind. When your as powerful in my previous line of work as she was, she can either make or break your career, and she made it so I could never work as a dancer again, leaving me in the dust and-*Reyna's heart began to beat much faster as she lied to Detective Westling.* Subjecting me to have to put up with men grabbing my ass on a daily basis just to put food on the table for myself. *Reyna sniffled and leaned forwards, placing her hands over her eyes* You have to believe me, Shawn, you just have to!

*Reyna looked down nervously and her breathing became alittle more rushed. Her hand began to shake more noticeably as she brought her cigarette closer to her mouth* Me and Madam English -*Reyna took in some smoke from her cigarette and breathed out* Didn't always agree. We had an argument that night that ended with me saying some things and her kicking me out, saying and I quote "Never come to me ever again". *Reyna took another hit from her cigarette* That night I needed to speak with her and give her a piece of my mind but I couldn't find her. And before I knew it, she was dead.

*Lucy looked around and tried to think. But then she saw the answer right below their feet, pointing directly to it* Sewers

*Back at Bentons base, the voice on the intercom spoke out, waking up Agent 8.* Agent 8, report to target room immediately *Agent 8 stood up but didn't see Ripley, causing her to be slightly concerned as she walked into the hallway towards the training room. Every day, Benton had made her kill people and everyday, she felt less and less like herself. Once she entered the room, she saw Benton once again, who stood waiting for her*

*Lucy knelt down behind a car and took out some binoculars. She could see guards watching the bridge. They were well equipped with guns and machinery that could kill them where they stood. She cursed under her breath and looked towards Faith, holding out the binoculars* No good. *Faith took the binoculars and looked where Lucy previously looked* Even if we made it across, we'd lose our element of surprise.

*Reyna put her cigarette in her mouth and picked up the cloth and the book and looked at them. Reyna threw the things down lazily before taking the cigarette out of her mouth and speaking* Never seen these before *Reyna breathed out the smoke before continuing* Miss English was never an avid reader, she could read but she never enjoyed it. In addition to that, the cloth is too informal to have ever been one of hers. *Reyna took a puff from her cigarette and looked at Detective Westling before breathing out.* If you believe it's me then your wasting your time. I would never kill anyone, much less her.
