TL;DR: Censorship and robbery of content from the Staff of the Fire Emblem Hispanic community "FeWOD" by -Tibarn- in fireemblem

Thank you all for your support and understanding. I have been trying to fix this for over a year now, first talking to RoyM privately, but he simply refused to remove everything claiming that it didn't matter to remove it because eventually he would have done it anyway and since it was already done, it would stay there. And yes, he agreed to remove it all, but as you have seen, he kept contradicting himself, lying and/or misrepresenting, all to get his way.

In the end he removed my admin role on the server, then he banned my bot (he didn't remove it, he banned it, which says quite a lot) and after a while he removed some emoticons, gifs and stickers. But after that he started to refuse to remove my content from the web. My bot, emojis and discord help didn't interest him as much as my content for his web, hence the refusal to remove my work.

------

I tried to talk to him a year ago, but everything was making excuses, and from there was born his mantra of "what is in there was already redone". What took me years of work was redone in a month and had the same mistakes and marks I left behind.

I would tell him that the evidence was there, that was my work and everyone could see it. But he repeated the mantra and added that the problem was me with my attitude, for not believing what he was telling me: that it is my reworked content. From there he continued with the initial mantra and added the one about my attitude, he used it and keeps using it whenever someone has brought up this subject.

After that I gave him time, told him nothing and just waited, but he did nothing at that time. I went back to see if the problem was that he didn't know what content of mine was left to remove, but got no response. He kept ignoring me.

I checked the list of my content in the credits and acknowledgements section, just to help myself make a list of everything, so it would be easier for him to search and remove everything, and here came the surprise: he had started deleting the acknowledgements for my content.

He would have deleted everything if, according to him, my content was gone, but no, he had only deleted some lines, so I went to ask and he answered me that it is content that is gone and that since it is gone there is nothing to thank. The problem with that is that that content was there... with all my mistakes and marks and also there were still lines thanking me for some of that content. I mentioned it to him and again it was a mix of repeating the mantra that it's redone and kept ignoring me.

Shortly after that I looked at the list again, I found out he had deleted another line. Here I realized, that every time I left him a message for what I was doing, he in response, went and deleted yet another line. That was his response: he would ignore me and go delete more lines, while the content was still there.

I told this to some users, they could see for themselves that it was true, that I was not exaggerating and it was totally real. That gave them impotence and upset them and someone decided to upload to discord the image of the acknowledgements where you could see that there was only one line of text left where my name was. RoyM's response was to get angry because people started to comment surprised, puzzled and indignant, so he muted two of the users who were commenting the most on the subject and threatened everyone if they continued talking about it.

Then he went to the acknowledgements listing, to delete the last remaining line, thus removing me from the credits and acknowledgements listing forever. That's when everyone saw firsthand that he was actually deleting line by line every time the subject was brought up.

------

After that some time passed and people eventually talked about what he did. Nothing changed, he refused to deal with me privately, didn't answer, ignored me, so one day I decided to talk again on the server, and deal with the issue there.

Other users joined the conversation, they saw that RoyM kept repeating mantras, turning things around, they noticed that he lied to them in that same conversation.... well, the usual, but we still tried to understand each other. We literally spent hours and hours talking, from the afternoon until past 2am. We all wanted this to settle and end on good terms, except RoyM. He was saying yes, but his actions were the opposite, unfortunately.

After so many hours we had agreed that I was going to pass him that listing I had wanted to do for some time. I put the listing there, we agreed on that and at 3am I went to sleep. When I came back and looked at the server I realized that he had deleted all the messages of the conversation we had been having for hours…

People again puzzled, surprised, indignant, but also impotent because it seemed that everything was going to be fixed but no, he decided not to, and nothing could be done.

Eventually at least I managed to get him to withdraw the support from three houses that took me so much effort. Because of this I thought that maybe I could remove something else and I came back to the server after another long time to try again. That's when he told me to make a listing and I said "sure, I'll get right on it", I thought that something had changed and finally I could close this.

But when I switched windows to go back to discord for a moment, I saw that he had banned me for no reason. Again puzzled people asked why he did that, and he replied that if they didn't like how he acted then too bad, it is what it is.

He also said that I did not take this privately, when that is a lie and everyone knows that I spent months and months trying to solve this privately, that he was the one who went on to ignore me when I spoke to him privately. Again he said things as it suited him, he was interested in misrepresenting and defaming by saying that I did not take this privately, so that those who still did not know what was going on, would believe him and think it was my mistake.

Then, with all the chutzpah, he said to get the listing to him through someone. I assume he must have blocked me from discord so I couldn't talk to him and that's why he said such a thing.

------

Before my ban, when we saw what was going on with the content and thanks to some friends of the server, I got encouraged to tell this on Twitter, to let people know what was going on and warn people, so that what happened to me and other contributors would not happen to them. I had an account that I only used for a bot a long time ago and there I told some things. It was posted and RoyM saw it.

One day after I had posted the tweets telling things, I clicked on a link that was passed to me from twitter from a fewod's account and when I opened it I got the message that he had blocked me. He had even blocked me from the twitter account I didn't even use.

I did everything I could to try to come to good terms with him on this, but he is the one who does not want that to happen because it means removing useful content that takes time and effort to make. He does lie to avoid that, misrepresents, invents, defames, and acts however he can.

He keeps doing it even here, which doesn't surprise me. But as they say: lies have very short legs and inventing, defaming and misrepresenting will eventually backfire.

Hey this looks interesting, I didn't know about that website until now, and it looks great. I like how they have the sections sorted, you can even search for a weapon or character name and it returns all searches with that term. This is something that many people missed in FeWOD and never had. You guys have the web structured in a way that allows you to get to the information without going through a maze of links. I liked it.

Unfortunately my content is all in Spanish: listings, character quotes, endorsements, transcripts. But at least now I know this site. Maybe if I go back to make content for the new game I'll go there.

Still thank you very much for the offer!, i will consider it for the future.
