As many know, long ago, a dedicated forum thread was started to show the original Middle-earth art of Laurelin players. This was no secret, it was said openly, and messages were sent to artists asking for their leave first, if it would be well for their work to be added in that gallery and so contribute to the renown of the server. This woman, received one such message, and she did not only consent but she also gave her good will and spoke with praise for all the efforts that have been done for our server.
After a year now, she suddenly posted openly in that thread as well as in her social media, saying that she was never asked, and further accusing me that I shared her drawings there without her leave.
Apart from spreading these untrue words, she could have send a message, but she preferred to bring this openly both on the forums and in twitter. I tried for this to not continue, and so I sent her a private message asking her why this behaviour towards me and false accusation, and saying that we should not be like this with each other. She did not reply; instead what she did was to post on her social media that I was sending her threatening and bullying messages and further continuing to present in a crooked way.
She did not reply. Feeling bitter about this, being accused falsely and openly both in the forums and in her twitter I then sent another message more stern perhaps in written mood.
She reported the drawings and they were removed by Photobucket (and thus in from the forum thread too) and deviantART. I did/do not mind this. The only reason I was unwilling to remove them myself, it is because I was expected to do so under that untrue accusation: that I never asked her leave to share her work in that gallery on the forums. From the start, I asked her only this of her: to acknowledge that I did ask for her leave, and then in my turn I would remove her work from the thread and anywhere else as she asked. But she could not bring herself to speak the truth, and so to this day, she still has not taken back that false accusation that she has unjustly laid on me so fiercely.
Still, even though I was feeling very wronged about this whole afair, I said within me 'let it now rest'. And so I tried. But the next day I visited Laurelin Archives and my works were removed: the Complete Guide to Role Play, Immersion, and the Lore, the page for the channel, and the page for the Tolkien Reading Day event. Bear in mind that this woman is a moderator there, and also this was done without even a notice in advance which further shows of their ill-willed purpose in this matter.
I was told by another moderator that this was done because TRD is not an IC event. The event has been there for about two years without any issues and if I remember aright I asked before I posted it. Not only that, but this woman even promoted it herself in the front page of LA as an advert as you may have seen. The other two of my works were removed because the resources list were being reworked. Excellent cloak to veil over their true motive for doing this. Furthermore, I noticed that the guide was removed first and alone for one day. Then they must have thought that this was too obvious and so the next day they removed all resources coming up with the idea of them being reworked. Furtheremore, the founder of LA himself, added the page for the channel after asking him if it could be hosted there. Who are these people to go against what the founder of LA himself has accepted?
Seeing then these things, that she was moving against me and abusing what little power is given to her on Laurelin Archives as a moderator, I sent a message to the founder of this website (who was expected to be neutral and look at things with a fair eye) asking if he is aware that this is done and saying that moderators of LA should not act this way, removing content of users, out of spite, or because they side with other parties.
I have had no reply from him, and I learned that he has done the same to at least one more person. But even now, I do not blame this person; it seems his moderators have always influenced him too strongly. But another moderator sent me a message and gave me a formal warning. Why? because I used the words 'unjust and lowly' as if they are true swear-words. For what is worth, these words were not directed to the person but (as I wrote clearly in that message) for the kind of behaviour that this woman has shown lately for this matter as has been shown above.
I sent a message to this man who freely gave this warning, and I merely explained these things that have chanced and that I was awaiting for my works to be put back. And for merely talking back, he gave me another warning. But it is of little surprise that he acted in this way, he is the other moderator there. But it shows that he will defend and cover mistreatment if its against people other than his friends and kinsfolk, or merely people who he may not like for his own purposes in his mind.
And he replied in the same manner and further making ill use of his position there as a moderator.
This man also came in-game and when I openly asked him if he would speak with me now in tells (hoping again to end this matter in peace), he did not. I sent him a tell and he did not reply. Yet I was informed that as soon as I left he said that my messages made two of the people who run LA almost reside, and yet when asked what did I say he used the shield of confidentiality saying that he could not say what I said. More words yet spread by this friend of this woman trying to present me in such a manner, as if I wrote terrible things to them. You have read all the messages I sent to them above. I have sent no other. Apart from these things, this man, also changed the status of a kinship I helped with making the site on LA, from dormant to disbanded. The kin is not disbanded, but of course he had the mind to do this after these things that have chanced.
I have also had the following messages from two others. In any case, what all this has proved is that these two persons will not hesitate to abuse their moderator roles to move against others, and spread untrue things.
