So we are finally at this point. Wow it's been a long journey. I've been a GS at Aeria for 5 years now, and it's been a fun ride. Sadly, all rides must come to an end.
I will explain the situation as it happened so that those reading can understand how we reached this point.
Please note:
- I will not omit any names. I will names all those involved without shame.
- This is my side of the story. This is not meant to be objective, rather it is the situation as I saw it.
So where do we begin.
Many, if not all of you, using the Twin Saga discord will know of BaconBot. The gambling rigged, waifu generating, all-round lovable bot. This bot was hosted by me in order to change certain aspects, and makie it more friendly for our community.
I was recently approached by Bluebewy, asking how we can support this bot. This was mentioned a long time ago, but nothing ever really came of it. As a developer myself, I saw an oppertunity to give back a little to the person who works hard on a bot we use daily and so very much enjoy.
Kwoth, the developer of this bot, as inserted a donate command which shows people where they are able to donate to him to support his work. I decided that this could be a great way to get awareness, and allow those willing to give back a little.
I created a Patreon, as well as a Paypal payment method, as is required on the bots commands as well as so we could kep track of who was donating, and showed this to Bluebewy and informed her it was a work in progress. She then donated $1 on Patreon. This was all yesterday.
Obviously I'd like to thank those who donate, so I set up a custome role, where basically you could pick a color you'd like. It didnt set you apart from others in any other way except changing your color.
This link towards the donation pages was seen by GS Angel, who decided that it was better to report to CM Nethiry rather than ask me what it was about. I have no information on exactly what was said, but from where I stood, it seemed as if GS Angel had either missunderstood the situation and run off without any real information, or twisted it to set me in a bad light. Without proof, I will leave those two as equal options.
From this, things begun to spiral very quickly. Apparently, I was taking and making players pay me for the bot. This, I agree, is totally wrong. yet this is not the case. I did not publically announce the link was open, did not ask anyone to donate, or even tag anyone else in the message except for Bluebewy.
Without being spoken to by ANYONE, I was removed and banned from all discords, had my title taken away and was banned on the forums and on all games. This apparently is final, and nothing I can do will change Nethiry's decision.
So there you have it, that is how Bacon was banned.
As of this moment, BaconBot has been stopped. I may restart it, but really I see no point if you could rather use the official bot.
