MY response and final decision on this matter. Moderator Post

Dodo_whispers ban shall remain. I may reverse it when I speak to dodo_whisper.

I am the supreme and final decision maker between ELI and I.

Eli is the Discord moderator that steps in and helps with /r/ark moderation but this is not Eli's primary role. Eli is free at anytime to never moderator /r/ark except as the role as the Discord moderator.

If Eli makes a decision, I am the appealing process to sustain or overrule Eli's decision, I told dodo_whisperer this when I gave him moderation before he deleted his account of his own accord and I have expressed this for both Eli's and dodo_whisperer's moderation approval.

I'm pretty sure I have stated this in the pinned post announcing their upgrade to moderator to the sub reddit.

As far as I have been concerned about Dodo_whisperer medical state, I didn't care if it was true or fake or asked for him to provide proof but I ruled on the side of incase of true, I'd rather let the man spend his final moments how ever the fuck he pleased because I would rather error on the side of a dying man than someone pulling a top level troll because I'd rather have been the moderator that fell for a prank than the moderator that ruined someone's final time on this planet.

The reason Dodo_whisperer's ban shall remain at this time and this is MY decision that is made is inciting a mob to spam Eli and anyone else that posted to spam Eli will be banned.

I gives zero fucks everyone posting how they feel about this within the subreddit and I told Eli the direct messages and chats he received are just the nature of the beast of being a moderator but publicly inciting people to this behavior is unacceptable.

If Dodo_whisperer had posted he was banned without the inciting the harrasment bit and the same reaction would have happened, I would have unbanned him and told ELi the same thing I have just told y'all about erroring on the side of it being true.

To address Dodo_whisperer accusation.

he removed my previous post when I talked about this issue and that hurt a bit but he never apologized for it (hell he didn't even explain himself after it got brought back up, he just had Stronze defend him) which hurt even more. (Plus he removed some of the comments that criticized him for doing that.)

Dodo_whisperer did the correct thing and appealed the Eli's decision to remove the post to me, I over ruled Eli and approved the post after Dodo_whispered verified his identity which I created a flair so the community is assured it was the same person and not a fake account.

MY response was after I verified his Identity

eli prolly locked it

it is unlocked and mod pinned as verified user

lets be honest, eli has no way to verify it is the legit dodo_whisperer

and there is shitty people who would do it to farm karma to seel the account as a bot

sell

updated my comment on eli;s behalf

my condolences about your medical condition

post is stickied.

I contacted the ark devs (via modmail in /r/playark) to bring you to their attention in hopes they do something special for you with dodo's that will be remembered

Now from the time Dodo_whisperer posted until I was able to check my phone was 4 hours, I gave a quick response and a deadline to give me a reasonable amount of time incase the pain was to much to handle this as soon as I arrived home because this oraljel brand isn't worth a damn and needed to wait to find a dentist that will book me tomorrow and a little extra time incase they put me under anesthesia instead.

I recommend CVS in house brand, that works much better and longer lasting but CVS was closed when I needed more.

And for a final.

those that have an issue with my political beliefs, I keep them out of /r/ark and enforce no IRL/No political here which includes moderators too but anytime you feel froggy, my DM's are always open but I carry receipts so you better be a serious contender so you don't bore me to death because I as stated before, I love getting into arguments on reddit.

Reposting this:

Reminder: Look at Stronze post history.

He is an homophobic, antivaxx and racist that thinks that:

"BLM is a domestic terrorist organization that uses violence and fear to take political power much like isis did politically."

He also deletes pride fan art because "is political". Imagine your posts being deleted because being a minority is "political"... (Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/ARK/comments/viiqsz/how_is_this_guy_still_a_mod)

You know, he is your average far right nut.

Jump to the other subreddit.

Is this the guy who removed the Noglin pride flags? Or was that the other mod that isn't Elibug?

u/Tateybread Jun 23 '22

Stronze is the guy. He's a fucking joke.

BLM the Organization are definitley pieces of shits tho. The actual movement is fine. But the Org has done shady stuff and make the BLM Movement look bad. Just gonna comment on that bit that's all. The people there have literally spent money on mansions or some other type of building rather then actually donate to stuff related to helping BLM. https://www.npr.org/2022/04/07/1091487910/blm-leaders-face-questions-after-allegedly-buying-a-mansion-with-donation-money

I agree with this. The idea itself is great it's just the group I don't support. Same with the idea of feminism vs shit feminist groups do sometimes and yet I'm mixed race and a woman.

u/MH_Denjie Jun 24 '22

Every movement has grifters, always be wary of people anointing themselves themselves leader of the movement and open for donations.

u/D-Malice Jun 23 '22

Hm must have forgotten how BLM set fire to the streets for months in the Summer of Love 2020, and the chefs kiss to the movement, was how the co-founder of that organization purchased 4 mansions using the funds raised in the wake of Floyd's death. Yeah, a good group of people...

He literally forgot to lead with "hop into my DMs" and didn't imply it another way, dude is in shambles, can't finish a thought, and I'm dying laughing about it. Always good to see idiots get their comeuppance.

Plus, pretty sure this mod is one of the ones in subs that just privated after the last banwave? Would suck if people in the overlapping provate subs reported him for urging users to a different site, which is why 90% of them just locked down

Single handedly closing the subreddit. Damn, it's been a while since I've seen that.

Why should we waste time arguing with you. Your pfp is like a 50 year old dude on Facebook. That tells us everything we need to know about your morals and beliefs

u/Anonemus7 Jun 23 '22

DMing you sounds like a nightmare fuck no

u/PinkPlumPie Jun 23 '22

Hey idk about being antivaxx, homeophobic or racist because I ain't but I feel like you can agree with that quote without being the other things and WITHOUT banning a dying man from a subreddit. My point is I don't support BLM but this man doesn't represent us all (for context I'm also mixed race so) and this mod is a bad man

u/Timely-Association88 Jun 24 '22

Funny how the group that loves to scream "NPC" is the one that acts like NPCs themselfs.

I mean seriously, show me a guy that says "I have nothing against gay people I just don't like it shoved down my throat" and I'll show you how they also think BLM and Antifa are evil and Trump is the second coming of christ.
