My Experience with Moderator Abuse on KiwiFarms

Phase 1: Discovery of Lolicon VTuber Content

Lidl Drip found out that Useful_Mistake watches VTubers associated with lolicon content:

Additionally, evidence was found of a YouTube channel with similar content:

Phase 2: Attempt at Dialogue & Thread Deletion

I created a debate thread in "Mass Debates" forum titled "Debate Useful_Mistake on the Ethics of Liking Lolicon VTubers." Instead of engaging, Useful_Mistake deleted the thread outright for no good reason:

Phase 3: Deflection, Smearing, and Insults

Rather than respond reasonably in the original thread, Useful_Mistake responded in a separate thread, derailing the conversation. He lashed out with slurs and tried to frame me as the harasser, dishonest framing meant to smear a critic and shield himself from scrutiny:

Here is my reasoned response to his attacks:

Phase 4: Suspicious 10-Day Ban

Shortly after this response, I received a 10-day ban for "shitting in threads" and posting an unthumbnailed image. Given the context, it seemed like personal retaliation for mocking him.

I waited out the full 10-day ban without incident, hoping things would deescalate. However, the moderation abuse continued almost immediately after I returned, confirming this was about silencing dissent rather than fair rule enforcement.

Phase 5: Argument in Multimedia Thread and Subsequent Bans

I got into an argument in the Multimedia forum thread, where disagreements are allowed and there are no rules prohibiting arguments. Despite this, Useful_Mistake banned me from the very thread I was arguing in:

Following this, a new thread was created in the Mass Debates forum to continue the argument:

Shortly after, I was banned from the Thunderdome, preventing me from posting in the Mass Debates forum entirely, effectively silencing me for speaking my truth:

I believe Useful_Mistake used Francis York Morgan as a proxy to ban me from Thunderdome for one week.

Phase 6: More Bans and Silencing

I was further banned from GenChat, silencing me from multiple parts of the community:

Phase 7: Stalking and Gaslighting

After being banned from Genchat, I made a TTS thread because I never got a notification regarding my ban from genchat. Useful_Mistake responded quickly, making me feel stalked:

When I confronted him, he accused me of "unfounded accusations," gaslighting me to dismiss my concerns:

Phase 8: Silencing Through Thread Moves

When I tried to raise the issue in the General Discussion forum (read it here), moderator Trombonista moved it to Mass Debates, a forum where I was banned from posting. This effectively silenced me. I believe Trombonista acted as a proxy for Useful_Mistake to suppress my voice.

Phase 9: Deleted Community Feature Submission

I made a Community Feature Submission describing my experience of being silenced on KiwiFarms. It was deleted by Null or other admins:

Phase 10: Taunting and Ignored Harassment Reports

Useful_Mistake and his associates gave me the Pink Triangle badge, for voicing my concerns about free speech at kiwifarms

He taunted me on my own profile, showing blatant disregard:

Meanwhile, I repeatedly reported sexual harassment framed as "jokes," but Useful_Mistake ignored these reports:

Phase 11: Final Silencing in Supporter Forum

After expressing frustration over repeated sexual harassment in the Supporter Forum, a space supposedly allowing more freedom, I was threadbanned simply for getting upset at the people sexually harassing me. This is not a legitimate reason.

Double Standards in Enforcement

People are routinely banned in BP for thirst posting, its explicitly against the rules.

A User were temporarily banned in Zoey's thread for similar behavior, such as saying, "I'll make this video work *unzips*."

Even Mound Dweller as given a pink triangle for a foot-related joke in Stan's thread.

Meanwhile, users have repeatedly asked for "dick pics" of me, a blatant form of sexual harassment, and yet have faced no consequences.

If obvious jokes are punished so harshly, why are direct and repeated sexual comments allowed to slide?
