Here’s A Post By My Best Friend About What’s Going On And If You Want To Help, Report @darling For

Here’s a post by my best friend about what’s going on and if you want to help, report @darling for harrasment.

okay my side of the story

under the cut because i know most of you are sick of this (very understandably)

Darling messaged me a week or two ago and asked to help out in the community

after adding them as a mod they reiterated that they wanted to help as an admin so that they could edit guidelines. i was unsure about this but gave them my trust because they have experience modding.

i made a draft of a new pinned post and new rules in the autism mod community so that our mods could give their input. i was waiting for the original poll in the main community to be over before i posted it. in the mean time a they made their own draft of a pinned post. i liked some aspects of theirs but as the creator of the community assumed i would make the final say and pin the post. i made a new version of mine with some aspects of theirs (so that they would know their opinion was being listened to) and posted it in the mod community. they said they liked it.

the poll in the main community was over so i posted it. they got very mad at me for posting it and called me a tyrant. we started beefing in the autism mod community. i retaliated because from my perspective they were getting mad at me and attacking me for nothing. i didnt originally understand what they were upset about. after talking today it turns out the whole thing they were mad about was me “stealing” the post. i apologized and reiterated that i thought we had agreed to post it

i asked the mod community what they thought of all this and Darling banned every mod that disagreed with them

i then started to get rather upset because i felt they were power tripping and being uncooperative.

they banned my partner for sharing his opinion. and albeit i started to take it a little too personally

i made a poll asking the mods if they wanted darling to keep doing what they were doing. they deleted it and made their own. it’s at this point i removed the new mod because i didn’t want new mods brought into the middle of this

Darling and i talked it out in dms and came to a tentative stalemate after i heard their side of the story and i calmed down

then comes this after noon

Darling made a post asking people to consider blazing their post about their charity community

i acknowledged that it was a good community but that it went against guideline number 7

they proceeded to say that no one cares about the guidlines and that they don’t have to follow them

i disagreed

they got mad at me for suggesting that they’re post was against the guidelines

i, being very tired of this asked them to step down.

this didn’t go well and they started being hostile and threatening the community

as we are both admins i have no power to remove them to the community

i took the the Autism page because i thought if anyone could do anything it would be the wider community seeing what’s happened and making their own opinions. Darling has deleted every post i’ve made on the situation and banned every member who has spoken out in support of me

we have both reported the other for harassment. i suppose now we wait and see what happens
