With all the 🌟 positive changes 🌟 the new mods are bringing to Tengaged, I was randomly reminiscing about how horrible past mods were.
In the past, there was a separate account for the mods to use called @Tengaged_Moderation and they were expected to remain neutral and not get involved in drama when using it… but that was far from the case. They operated like a dictatorship, with obvious biases in their decision making, and constantly abused their powers left, right, and center. Everyone knew the mods were bad, but some were afraid to speak up out of fear of retribution.
Now I'm sure nobody remembers this, but there was a moment when I started a battle against their corrupt ways: https://tengaged.com/blog/ZEEnon/1473577/tengaged-moderation
It crossed the line for me when they started stalking and stealing designs from shops of people that they didn't like, mine included. So I called Tengaged_Moderation out on it and they banned me, as they usually did to anyone who spoke out against them, claiming my accusations were harassing them.
Fast forward 10 years later and they’ve been slayed: https://tengaged.com/user/Tengaged_Moderation
Not sure exactly when it happened, I wasn't around at the time, but I’m so glad justice was served and that we have a new, better moderation team.
I’m sure it’s not easy for our new mods, since as we all know there are plenty of toxic people around here to deal with. So good riddance to Tengaged_Moderation and thank you brandonpinzuCheapCheepkoolness234 for volunteering your time and sanity to help make the site a better place 😊
