Ken manually adds rep to the users he shows favoritism to. Why he trollshields for Crimson Moron, I don't know. Crimson single-handedly drives a lot of more productive users off the site. Kan is the latest victim. Note also by the way that Kan joined the site earlier than Crimson, so it's not about shielding the older users either.
Isn't this Crimson/Kan thing stemming from a disagreement about Mohammed being or not being a pedophile, or something? Being Jewish, I naturally didn't pay attention.
But a lot of back and forth happens between various users. Daniel almost chased me off. Polonium ducked out after failing to own me on the topic of obsolete tech. AHF "lost" his password for a third time after being dogpiled for being pro mutual block.
In the end, the reason I stopped actively participating was because of Kengle's adhoc censorship, and my lack of interest in a shitty site that only gets worse and shittier over time.
Perhaps I should clarify that by "manually add rep", I mean that Kengle will go in with admin tools and type in like +5000 reaction score. Otherwise someone like The Gays From LA would have like -2000, because no one likes him. But God forbid that the negative reaction stickers get used on someone that nobody else can stand, besides Kengle.
Kengle tries so hard to force the forum to be what he wants it to be. The randomly deleted threads and posts, the constant rearranging of threads to the point where they might as well be deleted, the very bad editing of themes by a senile individual who probably writes his password on a Post-It note, the obsession with Nigeria, the fake Nigerian princess, the poster that looks like it was done in mspaint by a 5 year old, this butthurt attitude towards the nigger word, that time I talked him into buying a new XenForo license under someone else's name, all of his attemps to direct onion/kiwi traffic to his dead*
blog, that time he stole my idea to make a wiki that he tried to get off the ground like 5 or 6 times and failed every single time. None of these things lead to success which is why his 5 year old kiwiclone is still floundering.
And let us not forget his propping up of unpopular users, him repeatedly inviting back problematic users, spending real money on the development of a mutual block add-on to appease the hugbox seekers, and other such pandering because without daily logins and borderline spam posting he's
nothing.
Meanwhile, this site has existed for all of two months and although it has acheieved the inevitable result of being zombie dead, it also surprised me in that it went far and above my expectations.
*not even zombie dead, that shit is legit ready to rest in pieces for all eternity.
