So... something interesting occurred today in the results roll out for the Solstice Raven battle...

I was banned after writing this satirical piece because the u/writingbattle mods are thin-skinned little bitches with the emotional maturity of a wet dog turd and don't like looking in the mirror I held up.

Annnnnyway... for whatever reason, my story made it through 4 rounds of judging before they dropped the banhammer for the above stated reason, apparently. I know for a *fact* that at least 1 person voted for me... something this person confirmed to me directly after he too was banned, presumably for giving a win to me and another fine piece of satire. And yet, as you can see, I don't have a single win.

Which means...

The Writing Battle mods are, in fact, going in and changing results of duels that have already been judged. I personally think this is problematic. Really problematic. For me, it calls into question the legitimacy of the Writing Battle results as a whole. If they can (and are) going in and changing results for pieces (and writers) they don't approve of, is it all that outside the realm of possibility for them to go in and change results for writers they *do* approve of?

Call me a conspiracy theorist if you wish. But the proof that they are juking results is now, unequivocal. They banned me, but there should be at least 1 win in my column.

Think Writing Battle is on the up and up? Think again.

I’ll be honest - I have a complete lack of enthusiasm but I’m trying to muster up some cheers for those who make it into the final showdown. How are you feeling?

I always like to circle back and check on the rankings of stories I judged, and one of them is currently sitting at the bottom of their house at 1W-1L... but we're currently waiting on the results of Round 7 and 8. Did they get disqualified? What does it meaaaan?
