No it really isn't.

The Mod team doesn't even interact with the Writing team, the Mod team runs on Slack and the Writing team run on Discord. I don't even think Trunks has ever interacted with Machia! Trunks is not a Mod and he didn't say anything, it's completely unfair to drag him into the conversation.

Dude is straight up one of the nicest members on the Staff team and I've not once seen him get involved in an argument.

I've had people insult me before in debates, I've shrugged it off, I didn't bother moderating them because I've a thick skin but it is really annoying to see people go after Trunks because he apparently makes too many Xbox articles and it isn't the first time someone has thrown that complaint towards him in a shitty way, and despite the attacks towards him, and despite him seeing them, he never reports any of you.

Then he is dragged into this conversation with a jab at him for absolutely no reason, it is shitty.

If I was a site admin I wouldn't want the type of people that go around attacking other members as co-workers. Last time that I was here on a regular basis I had these days where I committed to just stick to the facts and not attack anyone. Kept trying. Kept getting dragged into it by people poking me first. Mods did nothing.

Actually, they did worse than nothing because they couldn't even stick to clear objective rules. They would just make up whatever rules they could think of on the fly and then claim I "violated" them. I watched countless members get perma'd from here for seemingly no reason whatsoever. They were almost all PS fans.

You would think that the rules would be some simple objective things like...

Don't insult others.
Don't derail threads.
No hate speech.
Don't engage in piracy or smoke signal on how to do it.

The problem is the rules are amorphous subjective nonsense like "Don't troll. Don't flame."

Anyway, I just view this whole site as a massive unprofessional mess and after being attacked by one staff member decided to go after the guy that is the main staff member of the site. At least the most visible.

But none of this excuses attacking Trunks for no reason, only because he makes a lot of Xbox news in your view, the dude does the news writing and the numbers and that's all. If you have an issue with a Mod then you know to take it up with the Head Mod. The Mod team has absolutely nothing to do with the Writing team and ergo Trunks.

Trunks isn't even the main dude, Machina would technically be all of our bosses while CGI is the boss of the Moderator team.

Trunks sticks to his work and does it well, I would say, and I would also say he is a major reason why the site is still alive as well. He does all this work to keep the numbers running and what does he get? People attacking him on Twitter because they don't like the estimates whether it's Xbox fans being upset or PlayStation fans being upset and then he comes here and gets attacked for posting too much Xbox news.

Whether he is on the overall Staff or not does not excuse you randomly dragging him into a conversation he isn't apart of to attack him because a Mod said something that you didn't like that he had absolutely nothing to do with, the Mod team have always worked separate from the Writing team because why the hell would they work together? Two completely different thing and you know the correct procedure for complaining about a Mod issue.
