mods seem to only moderate the chat and do nothing else for this lobby so what's the point of this even. they all suck
"Mod Abuse - ZERO TOLERANCE. Misuse of moderator privileges for personal gain. Including but not limited to being selectively harsh on disliked users, or selectively lenient on favored users. Mods who are seen breaking this rule will be removed permanently and further punishments may be applied.
Moderators are not above the rules and should treat all users exactly the same. Moderators may not moderate reports against themselves, even joke reports. By being a moderator you agree that your status as a moderator may be revoked at any time without notice."
Oh man I sure hope someone doesn't abuse their mod powers and decide to de mod another mod without approval from the owner oh man that person would be de modded forever haha based on this rule
Merlot is reconfirmed to still be a S H A D O W M O D, directly contradicting her statement on the matter from last week in her personal thread:
In addition to this, Reamix has been confirmed as a S H A D O W M O D too. Sad.

Is The Clique Tearing Itself Apart?
I apologize for the lateness of this piece, as I wanted to wait until more of my interviewees got back to me, while only roughly 3/10 responded.
I received two conflicting answers to my simple question, "Is the clique tearing itself apart?".
The first person to respond was Sandbox Mod Sl0nderman. He responded with "nothing goes on in the mod chat except merlot and steph talking." When pressed to see if this meant mod communication was at an all time low, he replied with "No comment."
The second person to respond was MeetTerry (Error's Lawyer/Lover). Terry gave me a much lengthier answer:
"Greetings Matthew,
All I can say is that Sl0nderman was only modded to appease some of our fellow trolls in the lobby - and I say this as an insider. I was told this by some people in power.
After my unsightly removal from the Beboparchy, both Bibty and Sl0nderman were my replacements. Bibty from what I have investigated has been doing well. She is present in the mod team Skype chat and discusses the course of action. Sl0nderman has been absent, doing very little.
From my investigation, I discovered that Sl0nderman has been consistently slighting Error and been grossly passive aggressive against him. Sl0nderman weighs in rarely on mod team decisions. In fact, even after the "open letter" agreement, Sl0nderman simply said he would try even hard to avoid Error at all costs.
I personally believe that Sl0nderman must be removed. Objectively: he has done nearly nothing as a mod and his demeanor must be reformed.
-Terry"
So what Terry says is the opinion of Error.
I finally reached out to Bebop, who had this gem. "There are 336 dimples on a regulation golf ball."
Clearly Bebop Just doesn't want to deal with that happened, doesn't want to lose his hardest working mod (Error), and wants to shut down on the revolving door of mods and doesn't want community backlash with the demodding of Sl0nderman.
Sunday morning weather report: Looks like the storm's passed us for now, with not quite as much rainfall as was expected. Storm chasers left visibly disappointed, but mayor Bebop relieved no resources need to go to cleanup. Barometer still has high pressure readings, but who knows when the bottom will fall out next.
bdog and terry were demodded for much less than this tbh
disagreeing with opinions is better than mod abusing and insulting each other
i don't know what you expect. as i said to golbolco earlier, the rules don't apply to error and never have. dude's been modded under 2 or 3 owners and abused every time.
only one mod so far has been removed (and stayed removed)due to rule-breaking reasons and even that rule doesn't apply anymore.
sandbox, everybody
a shame, really
i understand bebop was in a tough position for a number of reasons so im not holding it against him, but this could have been handled in a better way

In an astonishing development, noted troll and report abuser TheGameGuy has reported user Ruiyang claiming he is a banned user, citing a three-year old spoof account banned for impersonation called TheGameGay. Source: https://epicmafia.com/report/194859
To everyone's surprise, the report actually went through and ruiyang was banned! He is appealing the ban now here: https://epicmafia.com/report/194867
Update: I freed ruiyang harder than Taiwan deserves to be freed.

People talk shint about how bdog and terry deserved that much when error went full on out and used his powers deliberately against another mod over something he couldn't handle thinking he was the bigger dog in town. (^":
Adding to the list of why Error, I don't think he should be given another chance, because he knew what he did wrong and continued throughout and made that final stone-breaking action of demodding another player over being called "pretentious" while he tells people to QUOTE: "Suck my [REDACTED]" As well as what Golbolco said on page 28; why give this person powers when you evict Terrys, or Bdogs, when they did FAR less, only in being controversial..
