I've seen some posts where our members mention some unique and horrible stories of problems they've had with staff members, so I figured we could compile a thread of everybody's "staff horror stories".

I've had nothing of the sort. Though, I too am interested in forum gossip, so speak up!

Copy pasta!

I do not know about you guys, but in the niche of anime, I think it's the most dramatic one.

In anime, not only it creates drama when people disagree in "Anime favorites" but we have a lot of e-dating in this niche specifically. Not long ago, drama killed Pisoga.

Ok, well I will tell a small story about Pisoga and why it's been dead.

Pisoga started as a VERY known community for anime lovers. We had two administrators and a efficient set of moderators. When I came in Pisoga[two months after it actually opened] the admins were Hunter2001 and Gibson. Due to inactivity of the admins[which was a turn off for me] we had an outcry for a new Admin so we could talk to him and he could take Pisoga one step further. Around December 2007, an old user appears, Kurikun. He was a user since the site begun [June 7th 07] but he became inactive for x reasons. When he came back he was spotting to be an admin. I have to say, my experience with Kuri was the worst one, I have to say he is the WORST person to be a admin due to his mental instabilities and his quick judgement. He was made a mod and quickly gained Hunter2001's trust due to a lot of promises he made. Hunter2001 is the one actually made the site. After his 'proclamation' Kuri's Proclamation to the Community of Pisoga he was made moderator of both chat and forum. As you can see on the thread, it created drama,on the poll it clearely stated that none of the users wanted Kuri as a mod, our voice wasn't heard. This was the first wave. Shortly after that, he was made an administrator New administrator many people were iffy about it. We didn't like him. We had a user council, which had the idea of influential users in the community to help people be heard. This user council was composed of three of te most outspoken people in Pisoga, CapeRyche, KingdonHeartsFanatic[Kingy] and Me[Fmb]. We asked MANY people their thought son Kuri as an admin, moderators and we created a report, The long awaited report.. Me and CapeRyche did anyways. By this time we, the user council, were handling Pisoga and keeping Kurikun on check. There was another outbreak of his behaviour, and that was the last straw for us. Me and Caperyche were made moderators and quickly we became the 'rolemodel' for mods. The drama that Kuri have created uptill this point was inmense. People were leaving because Kuri was abusing powers and not listening to the users. One day, after a vast insult from a moderator, he left. This is what you wanted. Not only that, but he demoded all the mods from the chat and left us with out admin acess. I had to go to the creator of chatango and beg him to give me acess to the chat, back end anyways. That's how I was made admin. The drama level was elevated to such point that mods were aiming to ban Kuri from the chat. He was immideately banned from the forum by me. Another mod banned him on the chat, he threaten us with putting the forum offline... I love Pisoga, I had to budge in... this was the first time we lost people... people were discouraged by this situation.. In my birthday, Kuri decided to play with me and put the forums offline. We lost people who viewd the forums as a guest, he wanted, in exchange for putting the forum back online, he wanted me to unban him and give him admin powers again. I prefered my community not to suffer his admin ways than see my community crumble. At this point, drama killed pisoga. I am trying so hard to get it back up, which I just got an idea. Let's see how this will work out.

Gah, I wouldn't be able to stand that much drama, FMB.
