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 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.

*A few days later, Ripley began to feel much better. He wings had finally begun to get their color back and she could walk easily. She slept without worrying about her wings. But then she heard footsteps outside her cell. She heard as her cell door opened up and several figures put a cloth in her mouth and dragged her out of her cage. She tried to tell and scream for help but no one could hear her. They dragged her into a brightly lit room where they cuffed her face down to the table. She began to struggle to free herself but then stopped when she saw two shoes in front of her. She tried to look up but couldn't see who the shoes belonged to. Until she heard Benton's menacing voice* Down worry my dear. Everything is going to be just fine. *Ripley began to struggle even more as she heard a saw turn on. She continued to struggle and scream for help as tears began to rush off of her face. She then heard the voice of one other speak out* Sir, what about the anesthesia? *Benton then retorted back* Their kind does not deserve anesthesia. Much less for a body part removal. *Ripley's eyes widen and she began to scream as she felt the saw touch her wings.. and felt Bentons cold hands on her back.*

*The man nodded and pointed down the way towards a woman who was wearing a slightly revealing outfit and had her hair tied up. She was suggestively dancing on the stage as Shawn made his way to her. When she saw Shawn walking towards her, she stopped and cursed under her breath. She turned her head* Hey Charlotte, finish my dance! *She then looked towards Shawn who motioned to the dressing rooms* Something I gotta do. *Reyna made her way off the stage and walked into the dressing room and sat down on a chair, with Shawn closing the door behind her. She grabbed a premade cigarette from a drawer in her desk* You really had to come to my work during the busy hours? *Reyna stuck the cigarettes tip into a candle to lit it before putting it in her mouth. She inhaled smoke before puffing it out and continuing after noticing Xel in the corner* That the little lackey

Title: The Haven of Beast Saga

I woke up the other day kinda feeling like my ego need to be stroked ~~giggity~~ so I decided that I would tell the story of possibly some of the most successful and most well known roleplays ever created, those being the 3 2 roleplays known as The Haven of Beasts Saga (consisting of Haven of Beasts, The Awakening, and in May, Rise of a Warrior)

The Beginning
Basically, when Haven of Beasts was starting, I had no connection to it whatsoever. At the time, I was just coming off of a comeback performance that reinvigorated my spirit for roleplaying. But once I joined, that all changed. Hell, if you look at the plot description, it's so much different from what you actually see in the roleplay itself. Thats because when I joined, I began to talk to RaRaRasputin about how I thought the plot could work and progress ~~which is why it confuses me that RaRa got a story nomination for HoB, whereas should've shared it and she should've been the solo nominee for creating the roleplaying the "Best Roleplay" category~~. But anyways, once I joined I got a lot of creative control over the roleplay which shifted the roleplay from slow and steady, to pedal to the metal action packed roleplay. Like, the day after it was created, it had 8 pages which for roleplays on PH is alot (20 posts per page). And less than 2 weeks later, we had completed the roleplay and began chapter two of the roleplay.... until it died, XD. To be fair, most people lost interesting the roleplay so we decided to end it there, with one complete chapter and a unfinished one.... that was until the PH Oscar's however

Pokeheroes Oscars
On June 12th, 2020, the PH Oscar's were officially announced and both RaRa and I decided we needed to continue Haven of Beasts. So, a few days before the PH Oscar's took place, ~~at which HoB won 1 of its 4 nominations~~, The Awakening premiered with the sign ups and a newish cast. However, it couldn't fully gain momentum due to events going on in my personal life that prevented me from finishing the roleplay until December of 2020! But once it finished, we couldn't have been more happy with the results. We were going in with very little idea of how the roleplay would go, but came out with a pretty good story and some amazing performances ~~side note however, playing Benton in that roleplay pushed my limits big time due to personal reasons, from which I'm still trying to recover from... sorta, its highly complicated~~. But, yet again, after completing the roleplay, we had no clue what the plot could be for the third one. All we had were general ideas but nothing to tie them all together. Luckily, an answer was right under our nose the whole time

Rise of a Warrior
After The Awakening ended, The_Blackguard_Empire came up to me and RaRa and suggested some plot ideas that both me and RaRa liked, which led us to adding Goat to the group so we could determine a plot. And while there were some "heated" arguments ~~mostly between me and Goat due to our highly different personalities and conflicting ideas~~, we created a general idea for the plot. And while The_Blackguard_Empire left the project not long afterwards, citing private issues as the reason, both me and RaRa will strive to make Rise of a Warrior a worthy sequel to Haven of Beasts and The Awakening as well as an amazing send off to a saga of roleplays that saved my career as a roleplayer.
