@FancyBear69 W-what?....
Who's Lupadim? Luna was 14; pedophilia? Am I getting it wrong?..
He was a user and also used the same name elsewhere. Lupadim's internet actions have caused him to be what people think of Brazilian internet users. You know, a perfect stereotype.

The guy was Bloodcalibur and the girl was biitchstick on this site, he used her to create a cult of camgirls that literally worship him as a God.

- general nonsensical nonsense, lots of dumb posts and topics

Couldn't agree more. Most topics are so posted to death, going on CD feels like eating the same type of food all day every day. Not to mention the troll posts that newly made alts create. Wish MAL would make a minimum thread creation requirement.

I dislike it cause the posts you make don't add to your postcount. Whats the point of it then? I'd rather see my waste of time turn into something

That time MAL protected the feelings of an alt right staff member by editing an article about anime with Nazis getting their ass kicked to not say mean things about Nazis then via MALs twitter further defended these actions as legitimate and leaving out the true reasons. It was documented on a blog but it made it's ways elsewhere on the internet I think.

That Austin bomber was a user here, posted on the forums. That R9K guy who turned a bunch of lonely incels into knife cutting trannies was a user here, and that R9K Arab kid that blew his brains out with a shotgun cause was getting pulled into it was a user here.

We had lolcows like ThatAnimeSnob and his friends, Digibro, Akemi Mokoto, Veronin, Battlechilli got doxxed by an Australian Aboriginal. Lupadim is internationally known, for the wrong reasons. Lana and Terence Sanchez first met on MyAnimeList when Lana was 14.

I'm sure there's more but this is the obvious that comes to mind. Attract wonderful people to this site.

Another big LOLcow is good old Neane93, who keeps respawning like an unwanted, malignant tumor. Hurr, hurr, hurr.

Neane "I was once in the CIA" 93
Neane "OT" 93
Neane "maybe if I spam a thousand times on the same thread someone will notice me" 93
Neane "my alts and I type the same even though I deny I have a thousand alts" 93

These aren't claims - they're facts. I myself have witnessed how my reports are taken care of - except when it comes to certain friends of mods, in which case my reports are always ignored by said mods. I also recently came to know about a user who was perma banned by someone (who is friends with a mod) simply bc that person didn't like that user, and managed to find technicalities in MAL's rules to get that user banned forever. Wtf.

Same. Also, convenient how nsfw isn't explicitly described - mods can easily reject your reports of someone's nsfw sig or avatar simply bc (and this is an actual mod quote) - "That is not NSFW".

I also don't get why so many CD threads are locked bc they aren't "related to anime" or whatever? Like? Then get rid of the entire section bc those discussions will always get toxic.. And while you're at it, get rid of the Suggestions section too bc we all know y'all don't give a fuck about user inputs.

i just block sets using my ad blocker (ublock on my laptops/PCs and adguard on mobile) but it gets really tiresome to do so after awhile, especially for the blatant ones where nipples and crotches are showing... that's most certainly not abiding by the rules.

Like I said - rules are only broken when they're broken by random users. The moment it's one of the mods' friends who does the exact rule breaking, suddenly, it's all brushed under the carpet. The attitude of the mods here is one of the biggest reasons I'm not active in the forums. The way they handle their reports is too biased for me.

I don't understand why you replied to my obvious controversy with the crypto-commie Neane93.
(jk Neane seems to be a obscure history buff with interesting takes on things, Neanes biggest problem is quoting me and deleting his replies ;_;)

@nicethings Almost all of your posts that I see are filled with commenting on trash of anime sites, you are condescending, and overall, anyone who says something to you will face your anger.

In this thread you are already quite active, like you draw pleasure judging scum.

I know, since you also post in threads that I start, there is just pattern to what you write, your nickname, if it means anything, is nicethings, but so far, I just can't remember that you ever wrote anything actually nice, or at least positive, and it's not just because of this thread here.

It's the reason why I always tried to avoid you.

It makes me wonder, why do you even bother with forum site which will obviously be filled with 100% people you hate so much, or people you enjoy pointing out how much of garbage they are.

...

As for controversies that I experienced myself, honestly, beside those shutdowns, which never bothered me, there was only one person I remember, and to this day he still comes to mind.

One boy who commited suicide with shotgun, Shuaiby; I never knew him, or talked to/with him, but seeing his face covered, with only his eyes visible...
Even some of his character favorites seem very gentle and kind, so maybe that is saying something about what kind of person he was.

I'm not sure what to feel, or think, but I really wish he didn't have to resort to such tragic end.

hey least they do their job now a while ago when i came here it was just hatred all around towards people and people got away with shit that should have lead to a mute

also by rule 7 you mean "Do not post moderator PMs on the site or otherwise bait/harass/abuse MAL's staff; mods are users, too."?

because that is a fair rule

It's so weird, it's almost funny. https://kiwifarms.net/threads/terence-sanchez-eightloaded-infiniteloaded-bloodcalibur.43273/

Guy is completely off his rocker. The stars certainly aligned in a very odd way for this to happen.
1) He has too much money for his own good
2) He has sociopathic tendencies and is clearly a narcissist
3) He has a high sex-drive
4) He is moderately smart
5) Despite that, he had the retarded idea to take drug-induced hallucinations seriously


And before you know it, you have a guy starting his own sex cult while publishing papers on how shrooms will save the multiverse. Reality is stranger than fiction?

At least he helped making Lana rich in the process. Being a camgirl is a questionable career-choice, and I'm not sure if the money she's making now is worth the black mark that she'll carry for the rest of her life, but ey. She's making bank, so there's that.

I would prefer so, too, however, the whole responsibilities are bloated with having to take care of the IRC and possibly: the Discord chat as well.

But then again: if the person having got their message deleted doesn't push for it again through profile comment or private message when they're available, then it doesn't have to have been any important to them in the first place. Or at least not important enough that they would expect a reply.

Mal has its own wiki with all this shit on it... at least it used to.

anyway: CD 2.0 and most members in it

Someone reported the wiki for "harassment" or something.
Ironically it was up for years

Shit I forgot in my last post

AD drama:
- fights between ecchiharem fags and people who don't like ecchiharems, calling anyone who doesn't like crappy ecchiharems "sjws" or whatever meaningless buzzword is used to hate on ppl who don't like ecchi this week

- waifu wars & shipping wars which are two sides of the same coin because they all involve people's subjective opinions over what girl or couple they think is objectively the best when in reality there is no best whatever

- it's trendy to hate, love, or overanalyze certain series at certain times. for example, the annoying spam train this season is directed towards goblin slayer. in the past, the hate hype train was directed towards franxxx and bnha among other series

- griping and whining about "objective" versus "subjective" reviewing

- elitists vs normal watchers or "casuals"

CE drama:
- pretty much all I listed above; alt right bullshit, incel bullshit

- CE users spilling their content into other boards and constantly trying to make topics that aren't political political or posting political topics outside of CE expecting anyone to care

- witnessing users who used to be politically sane go absolutely batshit crazy is a personal one I've seen over the years

- users who pretend to be political extremists who aren't actually political extremists, we call them LARPers

CD:
- incels posting about their problems with the opposite sex and claiming to ask for advice on how to date women but being absolutely hostile to any advice they get

- people posting threads with the sole intent of ruffling someone's feathers or seeking attention

- general nonsensical nonsense, lots of dumb posts and topics

FG:
- lots of people dislike forum games for some reason? I personally find it to be one of the less tainted areas of the site

- infighting amongst forum games users does exist though


I hate to say it, but that describes most anime fan site forums I've been too...Save Crunchyroll. The people there are pretty decent in my experience.

Is the above reasons why it was shut down for that long?

Mods delete entire threads all the time even when they aren't supposed to or no rules were actually broken. Sometimes after I wrote a lengthy response.

The only thing that bugs me about this site is the 30 character requirement. Sometimes all I need is a couple of words to make a good response to a thread, but no, you need 30 characters. It's especially annoying when I try to make a funny or witty response to a thread.

Totally this! Just to be safe, I have saved your user name and user ID, so I can message you again about it if you don't reply back before the thread vanishes and after having given you at least 24h after the first time I will have noticed you being online again.
(While we speak of it, at least two threads have vanished.)

i have a miraculous ability to avoid drama no matter where i am. maybe because of how naive i am, idk. the closest amount of drama i ever went into was when webtoon reaching the DB was at its peak in 2016 and the ToG thread was locked when no-one was breaking any rules and almost no-one comes to the manga discussion nearly as much as the anime section so nothing was getting out of hand. it was at the point that when i found more proof that MAL was sloppy and ignorant of their rules and the mods resorted to mocking and sarcastic replies because they had nothing left, and then it was locked.

i also lit into another user's awful argument on how webtoon isn't as constructed as manga when it's the complete opposite and the thread was completely deleted, even though mods say we can talk about webtoon being in the DB since it isn't against any rules.

but yeah that's not nearly as juicy as the above stories so i got nothing.

@rohan121 Yikes, that's why they're just irrelevant. Most of those kinds of people have invalid opinions and it's just annoying how those reviews are taken into account on the ratings.

Maybe MAL should force users to rate with reviews. Maybe that'll make users realize how off-track they are. If not reviews, then at least give reasons to why you rate X score.

Holy shit, just looked up the Bloodcalibre shit... that is fucking scary dude. I remember talking to that guy too...
It's so weird, it's almost funny. https://kiwifarms.net/threads/terence-sanchez-eightloaded-infiniteloaded-bloodcalibur.43273/

Guy is completely off his rocker. The stars certainly aligned in a very odd way for this to happen.
1) He has too much money for his own good
2) He has sociopathic tendencies and is clearly a narcissist
3) He has a high sex-drive
4) He is moderately smart
5) Despite that, he had the retarded idea to take drug-induced hallucinations seriously


And before you know it, you have a guy starting his own sex cult while publishing papers on how shrooms will save the multiverse. Reality is stranger than fiction?

At least he helped making Lana rich in the process. Being a camgirl is a questionable career-choice, and I'm not sure if the money she's making now is worth the black mark that she'll carry for the rest of her life, but ey. She's making bank, so there's that.


those were good times and really made time go by faster. he even made entire fanfictions about MAL.

The elitist vs the casuals.

The degenerates vs the generous


The trolls vs the non-trolls

Oh and MAL site being down for a couple months in the past.

Guys harassing and sending girls creepy PMs, but that'll always happen.


That happened to me before.
I wouldn't say harassing. I would just read it. Delete it, and move on. Since I don't like drama.

When I was inactive on Mal for half a year only updating my list, I got multiple messages from unknown users saying "I hate myself". Nobody is perfect. But we can make up for imperfections like low self esteem or low self confidence.

If there is, its not big enough to be known outside the site because I've never heard of anything.
