The Book of Grudges: Because Fatshark Won't Listen

Also hot fixes, one special attribute is that they are quick and out of schedule
usually because something broke

how can you as a dev not know that

imagine a restaurant you have to reserve 2 weeks in advance, call themselves a fast food place

For The Drip’s existence showcasing precisely how lazy Fatshark’s approach to cosmetics is has been added to the Book.

Something I’ve always harped on about, thank you!

Truly, you are deserving of the title, “Grudgebearer.”

Not going to lie it’s partially sparked by a new thread, partially sparked by me finally sitting down and doing the napkin math on how expensive it’d be to buy cosmetics that are mostly just recolors.

It averages out to about $100 a month, btw.

Yeah I don’t know how I missed that thread. Deep Fatshark is trying to hide the truth…

Also happy forum anniversary I guess? Do you think Thorgrim would like cake, and if so what kind?

It doesn’t matter if he likes cake or not, the best cakes aren’t made anymore. All cake today is a joke compared to the majesty of cakes in the days of yore!

Oh, so just like I feared, the Discord moderators went on a power trip and started in on banning accounts that’ve earned their ire.

Unsurprised.

Meanwhile trolls like Cerebrophage and TrueZealot are still around and Jakal remains able to post despite constantly picking fights.

Guess I should prepare for the same treatment.

He was powertripping and threatening me with bans in private messages as well. It’s your classic discord type I reckon. Funny how he never does that in a public post. Gotta pretend to have a good guy image I reckon.

I’ve said it time and time again that having unpaid randos do moderation work on official outlets for paid products is bs. Thanks for proving me right again @Hank_jw

Colour me unsurprised. Hank has repeatedly displayed his inability to reason around people’s speech like an intelligent adult.

Travel well brother Kambrin.

By the way, maybe this problem is something the actual FS employees should get on top of, @FatsharkStrawHat @FatsharkCatfish. It’s not the first time Hank’s moderation abilities have come into question.

If the Grudgekeeper goes away, there are others who will keep the book warm and hold people to account. Of course, it’s likely I’ll get banned too, or simply leave after saying my piece about them - I’ve a history with suggesting that the Discord moderator team are prejudiced and incompetent. Already hearing that this is carrying over to their behavior here is not coming as a surprise.

@AlphaOmegaMan Please include me in the volume of folks very concerned about “Hank” being a moderator here. He has no chance of improving or balancing the environment of the forum, indeed he’s only likely to be a detriment to the whole, as already demonstrated here by the reported behavior.

I personally hope nobody leaves on account of abuse from anyone involved.

Well that sucks. Obviously none of us will know what went on in the DMs, but even me, the Grudge of the Grudges, only got a week timeout when I said something that might have been not-nice about Catfish.

One hopes and assumes you’re only saying things like child groomer and literal nazi now after the fact when you’re no doubt pissed off. At least I didn’t see anything like that among your public posts.

Anyway, this is indeed the problem with unpaid moderators. It’s extremely difficult to know if post deletions and bans are really justified or not, and at the end of the day, they’re not professionals.

Kambrin was silenced for a few days by a different staff member, but I’m flattered you immediately thought of me. Assumptions make an ass out of you and me and all that but still.

He has not been permanently banned. His timeout expires tomorrow.

I did no such thing. It would be appropriate for you all to actually know what you’re talking about before you start slandering people’s names.

The amount of undeserved victimization some of you engage in is just embarrassing. Pull yourselves together.

In the meantime I will try to figure out with Kambrin why he couldn’t see the timer of his suspension ticking down, because that is obviously unnecessarily confusing.

Begone, fed.

Unless you’ve got some actual proof, I’m vastly more inclined to believe Kambrin than some random outsider who got appointed because FS didn’t want to actually pay someone and who immediately started sticking his nose into things and making an ass of himself.

@nemy123, post screenshots of the DMs why dontcha. Book of Grudges can use some spice.

Right back at you.

This entire drama started with your moderation tenure here in the forums. Might wanna think about that for a second.

Why the hell not:

Unlike Hank I’ve got nothing to hide and clearly state my point. And don’t hide behind ‘forum guidelines’ whenever it suits me.

Imagine power tripping so hard you think you can tell people on the internet who they’re allowed to engage. This is why most people don’t like discord types.

As you wish:

For whatever reason, it seems like Kambrin did not see anything on his end that showed he was temporarily silenced, which is obviously not ideal. I’ve forwarded it to Fatshark support staff to see what caused it, and I won’t begrudge Kambrin his frustration and anger with the situation.

But the rest of you can settle down now. Face the reality that you attacked me over a misunderstanding, and move on.

Neat. Still find it kinda funny that Kambrin of all people eats a suspension while people like Jakal, Cerebrophage, Flawless, and heck, even CommanderJ are still around despite being far more aggressive and a detriment to the forum atmosphere, but who am I to argue with whatever random staff member decided to bring down the hammer on one of the more vocal critics.

Stow the pretentious tone, maybe. It’ll help if you ever want to be officially hired.

Or I guess not, judging from how Hedge was allowed to keep his job for years despite being equally a jackass to the people on forums and social media.

But seriously. You’re coming in as an outsider here. Unless you’re going to get rid of the thorns in the community’s side, you’re not going to ever be welcome with that attitude.

I can start banning more of you, if that helps?
