Welcome to the world of stalin and hitler. People get banned without prove, without their deletion being announced. EE is dead. Anyone who says the opposite just lies to himself.

I want this to become a copypasta

no, let me explain this to you, it's because you mentioned 20th century dictators/totalitarian regimes for the Nth time in a case where they are completely irrelevant and it feels like youre trying to be edgy but instead you turn out as cringey

Re: Mr. X

Quoting from the other thread since it became more of this topic:

I didn't notice hatred, aggressiveness, bias and everything else you imply. People are, simply put, indignant towards Xeno's actions and his lack of transparency.
...
What are the harmful reactions out of this discussion? Is it a harmful reaction that Xeno re-evaluated their decision and restored TheGame's account?

The problem is that people make a lot of assumptions about a lot of things, and because those people are biased against trusting Xeno due to previous drama, the assumptions and subsequent conclusions are very negative.

This is harmful because onlookers reading drama threads like this are led to believe that Xeno is a villain. This degrades the overall trust in the staff team and gets in the way of the game's development. Worst case scenario is that more staff quit or get demodded.

What we don't know, and therefore can't make judgements on:

• What exactly Thegame is accused of doing;

• Whether Xeno has proof of this, or what the evidence is;

• Why Xeno backtracked on his decision to delete Thegame's account.

If OP asks Xeno directly for his evidence and posts it here, then constructive discussion can be had - although it almost inevitably won't be constructive. Until then, opinionated speculation without further information does nobody any good.

Re: Mr. X

If only Xeno had waited a couple more days with deleting Thegame's account he could have played it off as an April fools joke. Big wasted opportunity Xenonetix.

Irony must not be confused with sarcasm, which is direct: sarcasm means precisely what it says, but in a sharp, bitter, cutting, caustic, or acerbic manner: it is the instrument of indignation, a weapon of offence, whereas irony is one of the vehicles of wit. In Locke’s ‘If ideas were innate, it would save much trouble to many worthy persons’, worthy is ironical; the principal clause as a whole is sarcastic as also is the complete sentence. Both are instruments of satire and vituperation.

The distinctive quality of sarcasm is present in the spoken word and manifested chiefly by vocal inflection, whereas satire and irony arising originally as literary and rhetorical forms, are exhibited in the organization or structuring of either language or literary material.

The findings ... show that the target sentences, when presented in isolation, were not seen as being conventionally sarcastic in nature. These same target sentences, however, when surrounded by contextual information provided by the participants asked to create a sarcastic context, were later coded as being sarcastic by a naïve rater.

3 bullet points is what we need and xeno being silent does not forward the topic. Let’s just wait (forget this topic) till xeno posts soon (never).
