My Experience with Moderator Abuse on KiwiFarms

A timeline documenting moderation disputes involving Useful_Mistake

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:

Useful_Mistake smearing me

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.

Proof of getting banned

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:

Ban from Multimedia thread by Useful_Mistake Ban notification in Multimedia thread

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

New thread created in Mass Debates

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:

Ban from Thunderdome preventing Mass Debates access

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:

GenChat ban

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:

Evidence of stalking behavior

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

Gaslighting response

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

LGBT Triangle badge

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

Taunt on profile

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

Ignored harassment report 1 Ignored harassment report 2

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?

UPDATE

Useful_Mistake banned me for "unfounded accusations," despite all the evidence compiled on this exact blog.

Permanent Ban Screenshot

He refuses to address a single point, he just wants to shut me up before Null catches on.

Refusal to Interact Screenshot

Don't let him bury this. Everyone at Kiwi Farms should grow a spine and call out his bullshit.

UPDATE 2

Due to the backlash and visible anger from others, my ban was reduced from permanent to ending on September 1st. Thank you to those who spoke out.

Ban reduced to September 1st

BIG UPDATE

after my ban, i was getting constent rape threats, and sexual harrassment, multiple people have been banned or threadbanned because of this. no one making rape or sexually harrassing me got banned, this is a discord message because the thread got deleted where i was storing all my logs

Discord message showing rape threats

a image that was not intended to be sexual at all, that was posted on in a dm chain, got me banned.

Non-sexual image that got me banned

the person who was making rape threats was still not banned

Person making threats still not banned

after getting unbanned, my thread "what the fuck am i suppose to do on this site anymore" got deleted because evidence of u_m being a corrupted moderator was there, i have to use screenshots that are either dialogues on discord or 2nd hand screenshots and not straight from the source because of this.

Deleted thread screenshot

this is a pretextual punishment, U_M likes to use this alot.

after this, i was extremely angry and made a new thread. because i was silenced.

Original Text

"I HAVE SPENT MULTIPLE MONTHS COMPILING LOGS AND WRITING DETAILS AND DOCUMENTING EVERYTHING ABOUT HOW KIWIFARMS HAS TRIED TO SILENCED ME, AND THE LOLI WATCHER SWOOPS IN AND WIPES ALL THE LOGS AND PRETENDED LIKE THE THREAD WAS WORTH NOTHING THAN ME THE SECOND I SHINE LIGHT ON THE TRUTH THE LOLI JERKER DELETES MY THREAD, THATS THE LEVEL OF "FREE SPEECH" THESE PEOPLE ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN, SPEECH THAT SERVES THEM AND SPEECH THAT KEEPS THEIR NARRATIVE SAFE, BUT NEVER MINE EVERY DELETION IS A CONFIRMATION THAT I HAVE STRUCK A NERVE. EVERY VANISHING THREAD IS PROOF I HIT TOO CLOSE TO WHAT THEY DIDN'T WANT EXPOSED, CORRUPTED MODERATION. THEY CANNOT ARGUE AGAINST THE RECEIPTS, SO THEY ERASE THE RECEIPTS, THEY CANT CONFRONT THE LOGS SO THEY BURY THE LOGS, THEY CANT FACE ACCOUNTABILITY, SO THEY SILENCE THE MESSENGER YOU CAN DELETE THE POST, YOU CAN SILENCE THE ACCOUNT. YOU CAN EVEN PRETEND THE CONVERSATION HAD NO BASIS AND WAS SCHIZO RAMBLING, BUT YOU CANNOT STOP THE INFORMATION FROM SPREADING, AND YOU DEFINITELY CANT ERASE THE FACT THAT EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE ONLY PROVES ME RIGHT. IF YOU BELIEVE IN MY MOVEMENT, PLEASE SPREAD AROUND MY WEBSITE DETAILING ALL THE ABUSE AND CORRUPTION OF MODERATION ON KIWIFARMS, https://slungus22.neocities.org/kiwifarms THEY CANNOT SILENCE ME THERE. IT IS UNUPDATED AS OF 23/09/2025"

i made another point in this thread, that i would like you to read.

"U_M HAS DELETED MULTIPLE OF MY THREADS, THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE WHEN HE IS EXPOSED

1. EXPOSING HIM INTO BEING LOLI, HE DELETED THE THREAD AND DID NOT PUT IT INTO SPERGATORY.

2. I MADE A THREAD EXPOSING THE CORRUPTION AND TREATMENT OF HOW I HAVE BEEN SILENCED FROM KIWIFARMS, U_M DELETED THE THREAD AND DID NOT PUT IT INTO SPERGATORY."

after this, i was banned once more for 38 days

and my thread was once more deleted.
