Moderator bribed to delete scam accusations against Winna

[dkbit98]

Exactly. There were like 3 copies of each thread on the forum at least. There's no way any savvy user who happens to be the OP of a scam accusation doesn't pull it back up at one of these sites.

They probably offered him significant amount of bribe money, so he cracked and accepted it.
We can only speculate regarding real amounts he accepted, but he was certainly blinded with money.
Corruption exist everywhere, and other moderators need to be on their best behavior now.

It does, but hiring someone who could be manipulated this easily in a historically important forum shows a lack of vetting. This is not the first time a staff member here has gone beyond their duties and brought shame to the entire community. Kudos to the admin for identifying this, restoring faith, and removing him from the moderator role.

"A lack of vetting?"  I have no idea what you have in mind, but I highly doubt that the admin selects the forum management at random, so there is some kind of check after all.  More vetting would not have changed a thing - everyone has a price or a leverage point.  No background check on earth can predict exactly what kind of leverage, pressure, or temptation it will ultimately take to manipulate someone.

This is not the first time a staff member here has gone beyond their duties and brought shame to the entire community.

I disagree.  The only way this brings shame on the entire community is if the community actually supported that behavior, which clearly is not the case here.  The only person he brought shame on is himself.

It looks like the second staff member who disappeared with my money... sad...

I think I already mentioned it here. Correct me if I’m wrong, but are you referring to Dabs? The one who defaulted loan?

I thought Dabs was global moderator, but theymos replied to me that he’s only local moderator (Pilipinas).

Both defaulted loan to me.

That's very unfortunate. People taking advantage of their high level community status to defraud others.

I also noticed that you are the only DT1 member still trusting mnightwaffle another loan defaulter who recently came back to ask for another loan even when he already defaulted - https://loyce.club/trust/2026-08-22_Sat_05.18h/71414.html

Perhaps it's why he is still a DT2 member. Please, when you get time, review your custom trust list

Thanks for letting me know, I've fixed it.

Damn. That sucks to hear and I fear it will lower peoples trust in the staff. :/

There’s only so much that can be done. theymos can’t legislate for a moderator going rogue, hindsight is a wonderful thing but nobody is ever to know that somebody supposedly trustworthy is capable of something like this.

He was messaging people I know in real life asking for money to feed his kids. This was years ago, El Duderino_ and myself had a big part in his removal as a Mod.
