Ew fuck them. Nothing pisses me off more than 'sorry if you found something objectively offensive that I did.. offensive' and then follows it up with 'oh maybe you don't understand English oops'. How do they manage to keep digging the hole deeper?? Wow. (Also how they're responding is more of a 'personal attack' than calling somebody a shitty mod).
And they're clearly lurking based on their snide comments about dictatorship and screenshotting. Hey Nesoi, fuck you you smug asshole. Maybe while you or anyone else from gg is here you can take a few notes about how a functional site is supposed to work, because you're all obviously struggling with that concept.

Oh! Does posting one link to an offsite source count as spam then?
It doesn't explain why people like Merms & Human got banned, I saw neither posting any spam links on GG. Tbh though I don't really care why they're acting the way they are now. They treated us like naughty school children by putting the original banner on the site and it just went down from there.
im still hoping illegal signs up here.

update: as per Nesoi's advice, i asked bipolarmorgan for clarification
1) which rules were not followed?? that's literally what i'm asking you to explain to me???
2) her relevance is probably from the fact that she keeps being brought up as the reason for multiple bans/deletes/locks
3) girl.
4) MY FIRST LANGUAGE IS ENGLISH. I HAVE SAID THAT. I AM NOT HAVING ISSUES WITH A LANGUAGE BARRIER AND DO NOT NEED A TRANSLATION. I SPEAK ENGLISH.

jaej You're doing what I can't so I thank you (for making me mods crazy).
I love who they are not giving clear cut answers but please, if you can, do ask them why my account is stuck between the space-time continuum somewhere in their databases, because my one comment was kinda a lame reason to deactivate my account.
Also why the f**k do they think that you have a difficulty speaking English? Like even I can completely understand (and see through) their coverups.

I'm pretty speechless about this. :wtf: I like that they honestly think it is ok to speak to other humans this way. They clearly just don't want to address the issue, but would rather pretend you don't understand what they're saying because of their (or rather "your" ) imaginary language barrier. I also don't understand how they can justify deleting felucca's post when all she said was bye.

1) they actually admitted deleting posts because they linked to another forum. Where is the rule for that?
2) the insistance that there is a language barrier after you repeatedly said that english is your first language (and have perfectly fine english anyway) ist just plain insulting. wow.

What the fuck? This is the most ridiculously racist shit I have ever seen? I mean, "lost in translation"? And, they're saying it to someone who has just said that English is their first language?
This is so fucked up. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this shit

That last response, oh my god.
I'd still like to know why users like oqua or human got banned. Were those the users that got the multiple account warnings?

I'd love a member of staff to indicate how I broke any rules of GG, I wasn't rude at all at any time and only politely queried moderator actions. I'm adamant they read my PM to jamieee thanking her for re-addressing the banning in the Gabby thread and that's why I was banned. Breaking rules thus ban my arse.
And nope ^ I never received any warnings, never received any pm's and definitely don't have any other accounts.

What mermaid has done that warrants a ban though? I don't think I saw any public post that says anything about this whole drama.

It's ridiculous but who cares anymore. They're trying to bail out the Titanic with a teaspoon. Nothing they say or do will prevent the continued mass exodus of D&P and Gabby users. Good riddance.

@ me next time morgan. got another response btw. another comment doubting my status as someone fluent in english. even if i wasn't, in what way is that a valid criticism of my points?im not taking this from someone with noel edmonds as their icon
the link to here is apparently considered spam, btw. i can't see those threads moving quickly. oh, and flaming seemingly isn't against the rules. excessive flaming is, however. even the mods don't know the rules, apparently.

The ones who would like answers, those of us unfairly banned, can't post. So lol what's the point?

Anyone banned who has questions feel free to PM them to me and I'll ask for you. An account there is of no other use anyway.

Similarly infuriating interactions as the rest of you. Posting just in case they might be useful for whatever in the future. How they're playing dumb with the censorship of the idp link beggars belief. I was agape at some of the shit they said to you jaej. (also, excuse the slightly suck-y up tone, i don't particularly want to get banned/have my pm's suspended while messages are still sitting in my outbox).
My initial PM to Nesoi:
Nesoi's reply:
My follow-up message, which has as yet gone unanswered (surprise, surprise)
And finally, the gift that keeps on giving, Morgan.
I'm not sure I can be arsed to respond to him, since no one else has made much headway.

And yeah Morgan's an ass but what's new, people have been complaining about him since the very moment he took over, haven't they? This isn't the first time people have tried to leave GG because of its shitty mods and questionable methods, and it's not the first time Morgan's been juvenile about it.
Fun fact: Dan and Phil's old friend Hatti Rex (this girl) once was a mod on GG, HattieChaos, and got banned/deleted herself. She's the founder of FreeGuruGossip.tumblr.com, an angry web archive of "the downfall of Guru Gossip", as she calls it. Interesting read.
Reading through some of that, I'm thinking it's probably wise NOT to antagonise the GG mods unnecessarily now that we've got our own website all set up - it seems they have a history of making life difficult for people who do. "If they want WAR, GG shall return fire." Screw that.
(For the record Hatti's Tumblr makes me uncomfortable too, with all of the personal info being posted publicly, no one deserves that. How hypocritical of her when she herself is calling Morgan out for posting personal info from GG PMs publicly...)
