To give a generalized outline someone started posting here pretending to be a teenage girl who put 6000 dollars of gift money into star citizen. People argued with "her" for way too long and Derek took it way to seriously.

Turns out that poster also scams people in various MMOs for gifts by pretending to be a girl or something. They were posting here to get made fun of and stir up sympathy on other forums to get more free spaceships to black market.

In my personal opinion Derek should have just said that was the case instead of posting a 10 paragraph dossier so we could laugh at the scammer but hes like autistic or something and takes stuff super serious.

Its all extremely retarded but mildly entertaining.

Did Derek really get banned for outing a scammer lmao

I think the admins have wanted to get rid of Derek for a while now and this whole doxx thing (which Derek does regularly btw) just gave them the convenient excuse to ban him. We've seen posters and other moderators constantly complain that there is no place here for sensible discussion. Derek was clearly biased and constantly attacked people who didn't agree with his insane anti- Chris Roberts crusade. Perhaps with the admins paying more attentions to this thread we can finally move to a new post-hate age of discussion. Maybe in the distant future pledging itself will no longer be considered a crime in this thread and people can freely discuss their fleet compositions. A toast to a brighter future and a brighter Star Citizen thread.

Lmfao no. I'll admit Derek rubbed me the wrong way, but I was happy to leave this place alone. But mods really, really can't doxx people. It's bad enough when a regular use does it. When mods do it, it's extremely bad for the forums.

Black summer was the best summer.
Remember when the poster said "who let the doxx out" as a joke and was told to never post in this thread again? How times change.

Derek was never mod material. He just didn't have the temperament. Better to have folks who aren't going to freak out over jokes or criticism. Now if we could only outlaw cat pics the thread would be great again.
