I'm completely baffled by a staff who think they can just edit rules without notice and then inform all users they agreed to them when they signed up, as if they were that way all along. UM NO WE DIDN'T AGREE TO SOME OF THISE RULES - you literally just added them. It's pretty sickening to me. Ultimately, it's "his" site I presume so he can run it as he pleases but he's doing a pretty lowsy and unprofessional job of it. I hope people continue to migrate to here and YTT, I really do. For the sake of the sanity of it's users lol.

I'm currently asking in his 'rules' thread about the lovely Rule 3a, and either he's lying for the sake of lying. Or there are rules that he can see, that the rest of us can't (and it's been referenced as "Rule 3" and having been in place from the old mods before as I discovered when I did a search for 'exempt from rules').

Either way - not cool.

Also, we're apparently jealous that he doesn't care that we've moved, lol

WOW. What a way to avoid a question. I don't understand what he's even trying to achieve, everyone in the clarfication thread knows it wasn't just 1 post being deleted and is anyone else really going to believe him when he: 1) writes so illogically and childishly, 2) has so many people pissed at him, and 3) when the DP thread is literally deserted when it used to get a new thread every 6 days. That many people don't desert for what he's saying happened.

I'm still baffled at the editing of trashqueen's post, though.

aaand i'm banned. banned twice, actually, since it was an IP ban and i switched to 3G to question the ban,i get why ofc, but i want to know what the official excuse is. asking for a clarification in the clarifications thread..? gg jaej died so that idb jaej could live. it was getting kind of pointless, anyway. it didn't matter how reasonable my question was, since he'd ignore them and say i hadn't asked anything or he couldn't understand me anyway. good luck to everyone else, though! please continue posting updates

There's no outward appearance that you were banned, so he could probably just say that you were never really banned. At this point, I would have no idea which users are banned in that thread if it weren't for people reporting here.

I'm happy you guys made a separate forum, because otherwise I would have never joined in on any of the conversations. GG has a bad reputation as simple as that and seeing what is going on with all these posters whose thoughts and opinions I have enjoyed reading, it further affirms that I would never make an account there. They are basically trying to coverup the whole issue and make you guys out to be some kind of elitistic clique that won't follow the rules.

What I don't understand is how Morgan expects to be taken seriously if that's the tone he uses. :roll:

I'm baffled by his (his?) immaturity with the whole thing. And yet it kinda is hilarious hearing this as a 20+ year old.

He really is a *Dans favourite curse word*

If he even answered with half-assed answers, but he is just ignoring questions right and left.
"you all literally expect 1 person to respond to a let's just say 50 posts instantly and all at once? HAHAHAHAHA "
Now what the fuck did he expect? Nobody to ask questions? It really isn't that hard to answer all of those questions, especially with his dumb ass juvenile answers.

I'm so done.

"lol bye gg"

But who the fuck am I kidding? I'm mostly just the rotting banana peel at the bottom of the phan trash can who genuinely gets excited over the thought of them snuggling in bed. Idgaf let a bitch live

Try to send the activation by e-mail, then it will say if your account was deactivated or not.

what the hell I just woke up and I'm banned on gg. Either it's 1st April prank that no one can see anything/is redirected back to log in when trying to log in or they must have banned EVERYONE. Cause I can't get in anymore. So if it's real I guess they stalked user names here and banned everyone or something that doesn't make even sense Did you manage to archive everything?

edit: ok so I refreshed the page and got the crash one and then back log in page and now it's working for me.... what a weird site (I tried it 3 times and didn't work just got redirected back to log in....) I guess I will just save the history I wanted to finish reading so I don't have to bother with it anymore in future :lol:

Well, at the very least the rules are more transparent now :roll:

I got him to put them up so everyone can see the infamous Rule 3 in all it's glory (perhaps new joiners will be a bit better warned). Of course, in the process of doing so he managed to claim it was my fault that I couldn't see it, and that I was just trying to waste his time. :lol:

"I tested YOUR permissions"... means he logged himself in as you, I presume? Without permission? That is NOT ok. At this rate, I hope my user account and posts are deleted because that is not ok at all.

Edit: Ok apparently this is possible without doing that, phew, I apologise and will calm down now lol.

I hope you guys will find this place a lot more of a friendly and professionally run place where staff do not just edit posts without permission and delete posts without cause or explanation. I know we're all happy to finally have a place to call home lol.

I just can't.

Hey everyone, as an admin on this forum, I just want to say that while GG does a lot of creepy stuff, it IS POSSIBLE to test any user's permissions from the Administrator Control Panel. You don't log in as them or see their password or anything; you just see a preview of what they see. So don't worry about that, at least. :P

And jaej, congrats on joining the ranks of the banned. Your final posts on that site were truly legendary. :D

I just saw the original post by Jhamba on the Gabs thread and saw that Jhamba called GIS a horrible little worm. Now I have to admit that I find this a bit harsh but I've seen worse on that website before. I absolutely agree with everything else Jhamba stated about GIS being a liar and a terrible mod but I'd just like some clarification on what happened. Did GIS ban Jhamba straight away? Without any warnings? Because even with that personal attack thats bullshit.

Please don't think that I'm trying to defend GG here because everything they have done is an absolutely disgusting abuse of power. I just wanted to know the context of this particular banning. Morgan seems to think that Jhamba's ban is justifiable because of the 'personal attack'. But in reality if Jhamba didn't get any warnings then it was against the rules to ban her. I have tried to read everything here and on GG to get the full picture but its overwhelming so just point me somewhere if this has already been addressed.

Still I'm kinda glad this went down. I'm enjoying this forum's atmosphere at more than GG.

Can some of you still not see GG?

This is what i just posted and i think it could get me banned (which would be ridiculous, because everything i say is true and nothing is rude, but it's GG):
wtfamidoinghere wrote:So let me just sum this up:
  • Two mods out of control banned a bunch of regular users, who were well liked and not known for being rude or breaking rules, without warning and most of those bans were fully unfustified. That's not being debated anymore, right? ColdHeartedBitch has conceded this.
  • Lots of posts asking for explanations have been deleted as off topic, even in the OFF TOPIC thread of the D+P subforum, right?
  • Concerns and complaints have been met with ridicule, condescension and agression. Prove: This thread and all the screenshots of PMs with Morgan.
  • You say you don't care if people leave, yet you even changed the rules to justify the censoring of links to competing forums - even in PMs, as screenshots show.
  • You made a thread for people to ask for clarification, but now you don't want to deal with it and instead continue to ridicule us.
And we are the ones embarrassing ourselves?

I mean, the Dan and Phil subforum is dead, so i guess it doesn't matter how you treat the few remaining users from there, but the velvetghost thread has a chance to go back to normal since it was never as community oriented and not everyone left in the first place, so surely antagonizing users further is not the best way to handle this, right?
I'm guessing you do want them to stay, or why else would you censor links tho other forums?

And of course, sorry for wasting your time by voicing my concerns and asking for clarification. In this thread that was made for doing that.

okay, I'd like to address what nesoi said here, since she made some accusations about our doc that are totally disgusting.
gasp wrote:So an extremely large number of you didn't know the beef that went down with Gabz_is_shite (also referred to as Gabz and morty). To explain, we want to share this formal complaint we planned to lodge with Morgan a while ago. It has screenshots etc of the lies that she spread, rules she broke, etc. I don't want y'all to think we are bullies. There were reasons for her fall.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XgW ... sp=sharing
its not all inclusive- we didn't get permission from some users to show their messages etc. But it does begin to show the problem that existed.
As in, we only posted PMs of people who were fine with having their usernames out there. Also, they volunteered that information to us.

I'm really sorry, but this makes me really mad, since the group that made this doc values consent a lot, and would never post something like that without consent of people who gave it to us.

I did not get a warning. Either way, I got into the whole thing knowing I would get banned, so I don't particularly care.

And, yes, I was really harsh. I'm not really that sorry about it, since GIS is a horrible person who has said much worse to me and other people. I'm not going to take a moral high ground in this situation.
