!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

That's really unfortunate. Are there any theories as to who they are? Why do they wield so much influence?

They're just a random chat mod, not even a paid employee. No one knows who they actually are but the common theories are nepotism or they have some kind of dirt. His name is so protected it must be someone high up in the studio that's involved. It's genuinely crazy the lengths they go to keep his name from being mentioned, but they do nothing about him in the meantime.

He was an Xbox mod so it was pretty contained back in the day but after they introduced crossplay he was able to terrorize everyone.

People will say "just don't use region chat" but he's in all of them. Just mostly in region. I didn't even have region chat enabled even he went for me.
