I don't want to really identify who owns it, he's a good guy and I still have respect for him and i'm honestly not a very vengeful person, plus he was not involved in the decision to remove me. Like I said before, sources aren't protected. Obviously there is "bias" in the sense that a source whos been active and non-problematic for 10 years has a lot more weight to his word than a user who has 5 posts and joined a week ago, But I believe this is true across multiple boards. Obviously if some kid came along and said Titanium Gear scammed him for a 100$ order you would all say proof or shut the fuck up. Also, sources who are continually problematic are closer to the chopping block. if a long-time source who has never had issues suddenly has an issue, they get more slack than a source who can never seem to get their shit together.
I don't feel like this constitutes "protection".
I was basically told: You're being removed as a mod because
1. You're Sherlock Labs
2. An SST User messaged you, asked "You talked to Capt, right" in reference to me talking to capt about his statement about "A source scamming on meso but being A-ok on SST." I had no previous statement with the user meaning someone else disclosed the original statement, but because I said "Yup" I got into the shit.
Obviously I did what I could to disprove both of these statements, I even went so far as to convince Sherlock labs to send a voice clip of him screaming to the mods to compare his voice to mine which was fucking hilarious (I will forever miss being able to fuck with sources) but they said it's obviously my voice and didn't believe me on #2, even though there was zero evidence to indicate it was me who disclosed the original statement about me talking to Capt and I had evidence that refuted it.
As far as Sparta goes, I have seen what his source application contained and it would absolutely baffle me if someone of his caliber is making mistakes in geometric dillution, However, I don't have to worry about it anymore because I can't do shit.
Anyways. back to work
