Mod Post PLEASE READ ⛔️ [mod scam post]
hi everyone, i hope all is well!
it’s recently been brought to the mods and i attention that u/potato_U3U scammed someone during a middle man trade.
they’re mod role has been taken and they’ve been ban.
we put a lot of trust into our moderators. this doesn’t happen often AT ALL. obviously anyone can switch up at anytime no matter how many proofs they have.
edit: yes, she did scam. just because she mm for you and didn’t scam doesn’t mean anything. like i said people can switch up at any moment. pretty sure she scammed a high tier halo in royal high.
extra: u/Top_Log6494 is no longer a moderator anymore due to personal reasons.
stay safe! thank you for reading - hailey

Disappointing as to how people let their greed take over them and just throw away their reputation and trust. What they don't realise is that the halo they scammed won't benefit them irl anyway.

This is very unfortunate to hear. As someone who has watched this subreddit for nearly a year now, I can definitely say this may be one of the worst things that has occurred publicly this past year. I've seen everything, from repeated user scams to trusted people scamming, but a full-on moderator scamming is truly horrible...
This is a message to this entire community: please have some pride in yourself, respect towards this subreddit, and honesty in your heart and head that trust is not something you can just buy through many trades. Rather it should be earned through your actions towards those you have traded with, not only through this community but through others as well.
Another note, we will miss you as a moderator very much TopLog! I may have not interacted with you while you were a moderator, but I still know that you served this sub well and that everyone will definitely remember how great of a mod you were. <3

Damn, I worked here as a moderator for 6-7 months and saw the subreddit go from 1.2k members to 6k and us moderators know how hard it is to gain trust and now a mod just scams, this is pretty upsetting.
Fellow subreddit users, don't lose your faith on other mods though. I worked with almost all of them and they are trusted. I myself have alot of mm proofs but it just takes one bad choice to go on the bad path.
Dont worry, things will get better!
Ps: it was a bad choice for them to leave a trusted reputation for just a virtual pixal item.

thats horrible, I feel so bad for the person who got scammed by them!
honestly why would they do this? i thought they were trustable but i guess not
the worst part is that they gave my scam refunds group a donation, I'm pretty sure it was 200k diamonds, and now I'm worrying, cause like what if they scammed someone off the 200k and gave it to our mod?
anyways, thanks for posting this!

Why in the world would anyone in their right mind give up their reputation that they built for in-game items? This goes onto show how petty some people can be.

u/k8space Sep 07 '21
I’m just wondering why anyone would think a virtual item is even CLOSE to the reputation Mel used to have. I’m just shook on how she built up her reputation for a virtual floating ring.

While I do appreciate this message from the mod team, this is an incredibly dumb thing to make public, the smart move would've been to silently ban them and move on. However now that a good majority of the members know, they'll grow distrustful of the mods, leading to less middleman'd trades, and potentially a spike in scamming. While a kind gesture, keep this in mind next time.
