A few of you may have seen my posting in #gamergate related threads recently and many of you have dismissed me as a troll or a shitposter. Well, I'd like to come in here and make a reasonable, open post discussing my side of the story to hopefully clear the air.

A few weeks ago I was contacted by an anonymous email. I do not know how they got my address but, as far as I can tell, they probably got it from one of my steam friends. To make a long story short: everything people are saying about "higher powers," "campaigns of censorship," and "DDoS" attacks are completely true. I was paid in no small-sum of Applebees Gift Cards to post anti-gamergate arguments across a number of forums under a number of different alts and aliases. However, when Commander Sarkeesian saw that mere internet arguments weren't making the grade, the Pink Hand switched on their PsyOps division and began a campaign of earnest censorship. I was offered a position in the elite Darknet Anti-Intel team but when I saw that 4chan, bastion of freethought, was being censored I realized we had gone too far. Unfortunately, the Illfeminati does not like those who abandon their posts and I fear that... wait... what's that nois

Well it is linked to DARPA.

Silverstring Media is under the arms of DiGRA, which is funded by DARPA.

If only every shitposter's shitposts were as artistic as this one, the world would've been a better place.

Now cracks a noble heart. Goodnight, sweet prince;
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

[Devodiere]

Well moot's made a statement, wonder what happens now.

I don't remember Project Chanology or other Anon investigation threads being deleted.

I get that Moot is under pressure from Gawker, but this is pretty bad on Moot's part. IMO it's going to be the start of a long and slow decline for 4chan usage, since Moot is setting too many restrictions on what 4chan is/isn't.

Except:

"no personal info/raids/calls to invasion"

There was absolutely none of this, unless you are now considering digging up gaming corrupt as raiding.

"it's not videogames"

No, but it is videogame culture, and very much on topic in /v/. If it isn't, then it is politics, which is on topic in /pol/. If it is neither, then why is it banned in /b/?

I hope it was at least a good blowjob you got at that XOXO fest, moot.

[Disgruntled]

All signs point to Moot being in on it. Time to find another rally point.

[SinjinOmega]

Oh my fucking god moot why are you shooting yourself in the foot with a GATLING GUN.

[Disgruntled]

All GamerGate threads are getting banned on all boards. They're getting killed off on /b/ of all places.

[Reimu]

Getting banned on /b/? So gore posts are fine but GG isn't?

You have some fucked up priorities moot.

Moot didn't like Chanology or a social circle that he was in didn't, at least from what I was told during days of Chanology. You'll have to PM me because I can't remember all of it, if I did then I'de have to bring proof. Which I don't so wouldn't want to segway away from topic that I'm hard remembering correctly.

Also about what moot said, does someone have a screen pic of what the the thread in 4chan was that had gamergate, "this isn't about zoe quin, this is about corruption in video game journalism".

[TheLastNipple]

Is 8chan the solution?

/sp/ is hilariously going down in flames, I've never seen a more coordinated shitposting team in my life.

They really must do know a lot about team sports :v:

[QUOTE=Zet;46011108]There's a rogue mod on the loose. I think moot got rid of them since the GG thread is still alive.[/QUOTE]

You people in this thread have been the most ignorant about this issue. [i]Nearly every sub on 4chan is being censored. There isn't a single rogue mod, there's a hell of a lot more.[/i]

"1. DO NOT REVEAL INFORMATION ABOUT PEOPLE! THAT IS CONSIDER RAIDING! STOP THAT!
2. Check out the /pol/ thread for useful info. There is information there that cannot be posted here

That is all."

Moot talks about being misinformed, yet this was another huge oversight on his part

Mothafuckas I go to sleep and ya'll are even worse.

[QUOTE=G-Strogg;46012409]Is this intentional or not?[/QUOTE]

I can't remember, but what I do remember is sitting down next to someone and that person showing me at the time a recent hacking or DDOS attempt on a chanology site, this person shows me what hacker group did it and his finding that moot was within that hacker group. But you can't take what I said for certain because it's hearsay, especially when I forget so much. That's what I would say in the PM, so I redact what I said earlier and I'm sorry, I just woke up from 2 hours of sleep.

Wait, is that Moot and Zoe Quinn?

No. It is even worse.

ZQ's new boyfriend is a fucking mod on 4chan.
