Lobali has Stepped Down

Lobali has stepped down. She sent me a short note. Automod I guess is officially head mod as she didn't remove him.

It's late. I have no other info as to anything except Lobali said she would be in touch with me later

EDIT: Like we did with Astrid, I recommend we subside with the insults for a while. I know there is a still a lot of anger, but I do hope that b/c we do have the place back that we can extend her the same courtesy, at least for a while as there may still be outstanding questions. Most points were made. I don't know if there is much to be said that hasn't been said. I'm saddened. She isn't on the mod team anymore so I don't konw if there is anything more relevant to say. Just my opinion very late at night. Like I said, I'm saddened this even happened. She could have nuked this place and taken off. She didn't do that.

We hate the automod. This is even worse. The damn robots are finally taking over.

Let us know when she pays the victims of Evolution back and then she will almost be whole again.


[9 Points] None:

Holy shot I have fallen down the rabbit hole. Ok this is what I've gathered so far...Kimble who ran Evolution is actually Lobali? who stole some books(?) from u/BBMC? when he was in the slammer. Bruce Campbell, who for some reason is an actor, runs the forums here and had lobali running shit. Lobali, is out. Supposedly her and this trappy panda person? sorry if that's wrong TP, are responsible for a whole lot of shenanigans including running Alphabay? and Alphabay is the one doxxing abraxas. and all of these other theories, like arrests ascams etc are just mucking up the water more for abraxas and fueling the exodus to other sites like alphabay? Am I rite? edit: what am I missing or have got confused. I also don't know if any of this shit is true. These are all of the rumors I have managed to tie together in an Ancient Aliens sort of way.

Well thank fuck for that. I feel a bit dirtier than I did when all this started. I'll put my pitchfork away again...until next time!

Automod, don't let the power go to your head!


[4 Points] HungaryLikeTheWolf:

I know for a fact that this is not the first time that financial misconduct/shenanigans on the part of Lobali has been brought to other mods' attention.


[2 Points] None:

Could we get a mod that actually cares about the community as our head mod please? My nomination would go to either you or IGetDankShit. You are the only 2 mods I consistently see behaving in a professional manner and able to see arguments objectively from both sides and reason with people so things don't blow up into massive shitstorms.

Love you econ <3


[1 Points] Deafcunt:

Good.


[1 Points] shillsshillsgoaway:

The right thing to do.


[1 Points] samwhiskey:

Is this done or will there be an official post by Lobali either explaining or apologizing?

We should be kept informed of the payback if it ever happens.


[1 Points] throwathrowanz:

What happens when automod loses his mind and locks the sub?


[1 Points] Multisig121456765432:

Was lobali Trashbox from SR1? I forget. Or was that Astrid?


[1 Points] overbot:

overbot for mod -overbot


[1 Points] The_fire_bird:

Stepped down but is she actually leaving?

...Or is she just hiding amongst the ranks of the regular users now? Hiding from all the marriage proposal PMs or something?


[1 Points] RosyPalm:

I'm glad Lobali ultimately did the right thing and stepped down.

It certainly aides the argument that this was just a series of truly awful decisions and not an out right notorious act.

For the good Lobali did she deserves our thanks.

For the rest, well, no more goddamn community donation drives unless it's direct deposit!

I believe automoderator will keep things running here smooth as silk


[0 Points] slowwburnn:

Are you accepting applications for new emperor head mod?

Lobali, if you're reading this, get in touch. Or not.

We only corresponded once or twice, but you've done awesome work here in the past, regardless of what's going on now.

Before I get chastised by the self-righteous or downvoted into oblivion, let me say this: I'm not excusing her actions. But I've done some pretty fucked up shit in my life, especially when drugs were involved.

I'm talking to you rock throwers. You've broken all the glass houses in town, but you just stumbled upon a mansion. The temptation to shatter every pane must be overwhelming.

But before you cast that stone, take a quick jog down memory lane. Remember when you were 12 years old and in the backyard with your BB gun? Shooting cans had gotten boring. Then you spotted a momma bird in the tree just feeding her babies. Without thinking you aimed and squeezed the trigger. She fell like a stone into the snow, dead. You felt horrible after you did it, didn't you? You would have given anything to have undone it, but you couldn't. Maybe I'm naive, but I'm guessing that's how Lobali feels right now.

You're not perfect, and neither is Lobali. All of us -- on this board, at least -- have done shit that, if found out, would've gotten us kicked out from any community on earth, online or IRL. Hell, with some of the stuff I've done even the ... unmentionables wouldn't want me around. They say that Jesus H. Christ was, but I never met the guy. I'm sure the rest of us aren't.

I think the mod team should sacrifice 5 accounts every month to automod

This is good, I commend her for doing the right thing. There's no need to insult her, everyone is intitled to a little human weakness every once in a while.
