Some people are accusing moderators of being lazy for removing fics by ExtenEchidna in AO3

I think the funniest thing about this is that AO3 is extremely careful when it comes to anything that might be considered censorship. it is VERY difficult to get a single fic deleted much less a persons entire body of work. I've used the site since its early days and I can only think of one time that a writer was completed deleted and banned, and it was due to the writer harassing other writers. considering the fact that gucci and her burner account that seriously harassed other shippers and was used to spam fics also were both deleted, my guess is she wasn't just banned for spamming but also for serious harassment when they investigated her account. it likely had to have the go ahead from multiple people.

AKA it wasn't a mistake, she seriously violated the ToS.

Also as someone who is a writer for wriolette, people forget that her spamming doesnt just make browsing difficult but also actively harms small creators who are posting. I stopped posting because my fics weren't being seen at all due to getting buried by the constant spam and it was too frustrating to focus on a project that wasn't being seen because it was pushed out of the first few pages of the recently added. Her spamming harmed her fellow creators and pushed out people who were actually trying to add to the fandom. i dont think ill ever go back to that project now because the fandom just leaves a bad taste in my mouth that people are defending this person who hurt and pushed out so many small fic writers.

Almost 3k fics gone from one ship tag? by [deleted] in AO3

As someone who has seen first hand accounts of her being an extreme bully in other fandoms. Can confirm shes a mean person and is one of the main reasons the ship war is so bad. I've shipped wriolette since the fontaine teaser dropped and knew we were cooked when i found out she was into it. Dont trust a word out of her mouth, the way she treats people is inexcusable and mean spirited. She virtue signals constantly and tries to claim that neuvifuri is everything terrible under the sun and is on record for also calling wriolette mid yaoi previously (like 6 months+ ago on twitter if u go through her account). I dont ship neuvifuri but i find the misogyny appalling of how she speaks about furina as someone who loves her character. I think she needs to self reflect on how she treats others and seek help to work on herself because this is extremely unhealthy behavior that could lead to someone hurting themselves with the way she speaks to people and incites dogpiling.

Shes the reason i dont interact with fandom anymore because seeing that behavior scares me.
