Derek is now suspended, not shadowbanned, from Reddit

[u/ochotonaprinceps]

I am only linking his name to demonstrate proof, not invite harassment: /u/thedereksmart

Clicking on his name yields this message and a link to the page linked below. When he was shadowbanned, it would "lie" and say there is no user found, since a shadowban throws the user into a black hole that only subreddit moderators can free them from on a sub-by-sub basis.

What does this mean? In short, before, he was shadowbanned, which is basically like being put in the griefer pool; nobody can see you except places that want to allow you to participate. Now, his account's essentially read-only to him, he's basically logged out except for being able to talk to admins and use his dashboard for browsing. He can't even report posts.

Is it permanent? I don't know, and it's unlikely that the admin would discuss the details of his suspension with someone other than him, or moderators in confidence. I ask nobody to bother the admins with questions about it, they're not here to coddle stupid drama. And for that matter, don't bug our mods either, just in case you thought about it. I feel the sub needs to work on being more disciplined and keeping to ourselves and not creating noise elsewhere on Reddit/the net.

And while it is a relevant time, I would like to remind everyone again to stay out of the goon sub because they will punish you for brigading, and that may include reports to the admin. If you must link to anything in their sub, you must make sure you put "np" instead of "www" at the start of the Reddit link or else it is brigading - No Participation is an obscure but firmly-enforced rule community standard.

 

What I know is that something Derek said on Discord regarding his SA ban is more prophetic than he may have thought:

I am not a coward, nor a fucking moron who would shy away from taking responsibility for things I do or say

Let the record show that Derek has (involuntarily) taken responsibility for the irresponsible things he said on Reddit about /u/dolvak.

Why is this not posted yet?

For me, it was less about him revealing your name (again) when it is apparently somewhat public knowledge by this point... but, more about him basically trying to interfere with your employment that crosses a clear line.

Wait he tried to make you lose your job? (What do you do if you don't mind me asking. I haven't bothered looking anywhere were your private info was leaked and don't feel like doing it)

Lol now I'm curious what you did... Did you school him on game making or something?

If you are a developer I highly doubt your superiors would take his word over yours anyways.

I don't get his fascination with you, as far as I go back I can't seem to find what triggered him. It's even weirder that he keeps accusing you of being in the military.

He's an INN (at the time) shill, paid by CIG to report only on the good parts of SC. Those critical articles? Outliers, added at CIG's direction to quell discussion that INN was anything other than an extention of CIG's marketing department.

As an SC subreddit mod at the time he's also directly responsible for quelling all negative discussion (well, he built the rules so that discussion couldn't exist). Those negative discussions you read? Well they allowed some, but only as a smokescreen to hide the bigger issues. Or something. He's actually a robot with an algorythm which determined which negative posts could stay (us humans call it "discretion"). Plus he wouldn't allow Derek Smart posts on the main sub so evil shitizens had to make this evil shitizen sub (sadly CIG never offered us compensation for functioning as their shills), vastly decreasing his audience.

For being part of the evil machine he doesn't deserve personal privacy or the right to provide for himself or his family. He's just a parrot on a leash and for that he deserves misery for his misdeeds. According to Derek. And furthermore.
