As you all know corey made a post about me. Despite me taking the passive route with my post a couple of hours.
Now I've known Corey since last summer. Was on the comeup and I had some genuine conversations. Even telling him that we both would run this site together. And for a while, we did.
But now I've come to realize that my former friend is exactly who olseneli was trying to be.
A dictator.
Now there are many reasons to back up my statement. Now I'm going to show you these events in chronological order.
๐ฌ๐ฑ๐ช๐น๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ป 1: Where this all started was here: https://fanspo.com/nfl/s/giants/p/IMmb-jHW6RNZcX/the-half-time-show the half time show. Now I called out fellow users who were being racist and homophobic towards the half-time due to Bad Bunny's political views. Specifically ICE. Now there were some heated conversations, but one of my good friends Dubta had a take that I didn't agree with. We went back and forth on the topic, and eventually, he brought the controversial Charlie Kirk. I screenshotted, and it became the biggest Fanspo post of the year. https://fanspo.com/nba/s/general/p/R8U0XsEhpUWtr3/tell-me-your-racist-without-telling-me-your-racist-ice-is-desporting-everyone-one-of-the-most-respected-users-racist . Now due to me attacking one of the biggest users on the site, I got plenty of hate for my format, including Corey himself, who eventually made a hit post calling me out. https://fanspo.com/nba/s/general/p/-6FjGzNGc-8ZS8/regarding-the-situation . I then took a small break due to the hate I was receiving and I made a response post where I basically had to apologize or else I would be forced off the site. https://fanspo.com/nba/s/general/p/bWtM7vxvnUgFVu/my-response-to-corey-naylor-and-multiple-people Since then me and dubta have talked out our differences, and we're still good friends on the site. But this situation is serious because it's the first time Corey realized that he could change a user's career on here by just one hit post by himself.
๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ก ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐: ๐ง๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ฆ๐ ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ง๐๐จ๐ก๐๐๐ฅ: Now after the whole debacle, the site had a grace period of new users and great old users coming back suddenly. One of them we all know. FijianThunder. Now obviously, we all know what FijianThunder is now due to the discord providing context later on, but we all at one point viewed Fijian as a friend, brother, mentor, or great user, especially with his Wilt article. But there was one conversation that he had with me that inspired me to make a post. As of now I regret it as there was no need but this should've been the first sign that Fijian was off. The post was me calling KTB (The best user of last year.) Due to his GM boosting post schedule. https://fanspo.com/nba/s/knicks/p/6ocgp7zkuemaEj/is-ktb-overrated Now I want to make something clear. KTB is LOVED ON HERE. And he would right away be the biggest user on here if he were to come back.
๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐๐: ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐: Most of you are familiar with the situation involving Hali and the Discord, but this is the beginning of the downfall for Fijian. Hali makes a post about the Pacers hosting a Pride night at their stadium, and in that post, he makes comments specifically, hateful comments at LGBTQ+ and their allies. I want to make something clear. There is no ROOM for ANY HATE SPEECH ON FANSPO. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT INVOLVES OTHER INNOCENT HUMANS TRYING TO LIVE THEIR LIFE AND BE HAPPY. Now, the Discord members saw this post and attacked Hali kind of like a 20v1. Now I do not agree with the way they delivered their message, but I agree with their message. Fijian decided to "Defend hali" and make a post directed at former users Mohid and a few others, using LGBTQ Flags around their profile pictures. I thought it was a harmless prank, but little did I know that at the top of the screen, there was a Nazi symbol. The discord then started attacking Fijian, thus making Corey and me make a swift decision. Thinking this was a simple mistake by Fijian and that the Discord users were trying to take over Fanspo and start a dictatorship, we created the Fanspo Avengers and waged war on the Discord. Now the most talked about part of the war was Corey and chees and Corey and Mohid as I took on Stephcurrysalt and GsauceW. But there was one small interaction betwen two users that would change the course of the site without anyone realizing it. Corey and purpleandgold. It hurt me deeply to fight against my idols and guys who took me under their wing when they were here, but I did what I had to do in order to save Fanspo. Now while many people claim the Fanspo side won the verbal battle, soon we were going to see that the Discord won the moment they threw the first shot.
๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ฅ: ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ช๐ก๐๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ง๐๐จ๐ก๐๐๐ฅ: Special shoutout to chees for helping me with the screenshots. After the war, many users felt a sense that Fanspo wasn't the same anymore. Why would our former idols turn their back on us and attack us, and specifically, one of our closest friends? Well.......... After having a conversation with Chees and StephCurrySalt, I came to learn the truth about FijianThunder. My former friend was a pedophile defender, a racist, a Nazi-loving, stalking piece of crap. I was hurt. Disappointed and disgusted, I defended this guy so hard and broke bridges with some of my former idols and fellow brothers, defending a user who was a completely different person behind the scenes. Motivated to make things right, I exposed FijianThunder for his disgusting ways and his manipulative formats https://fanspo.com/nba/s/general/p/VFci1ZtNQ4umO5/we-messed-up-fijian . I was willing to take accountability and own up to my mistakes and build new bridges with Discord members. A quality some of my fellow users need to inherit from me. After all of that, there was a sense of peace for a bit. We felt that things would finally go back to normal. Normal for about 71 hours...
๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฉ๐: ๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ข๐ ๐๐ฆ ๐ฅ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ก๐๏ฝก ๐๐๐๐๐ก! Now, one of the things that was most mentioned during the war with Fanspo vs Discord was the way they single-handedly sent Ryandiamond off this site. This was a good thing they did in hindsight. Now, a couple of days after the whole FijianThunder situation, an old user by the name of RyanDiamond, who was known as a clout chaser, came back into the fold, trying to make a comeback on this site. His post weren't thriving and he decided to do the unthinkable. He pretended that a BanRyanDiamond account doxxed him and leaked his address on Fanspo. Now at first, Corey and I were suspicious, knowing his history with clout chasing. Corey wanted to give him time to see if it was him but I wasted no time in exposing him: https://fanspo.com/u/jmg/p/TGUy1Ar_vfeUy0/serious-note . Now many people saw it but obviously weren't convinced based on the fact that who would dox their OWN ADRESS? Clout chasers, that's who. The situation dragged on for a couple of more days and during those days many users got questioned. Plenty of innocent ones, including a Discord member guru or swag (I still don't know who's who to be frank). After he admitted that it was him through a weak ass apology, he deleted the post but lucky for you, I took a screenshot just in time and made a post about it. https://fanspo.com/u/jmg/p/y05QPtO6lS6rDs/did-he-just-he-deleted-his-account-so-im-showing-you-all-what-i-dwhite-and-kuzma999-saw . After all of this, we saw Corey's power once again with his hitpost on him. Ryandiamond would later retire in less than 48 hours after the post. https://fanspo.com/nba/s/general/p/SJQTROI8eysrXI/stop-giving-this-kid-attention
๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐๐ซ: ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ฌโ ๐๐๐ช๐ก ๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐: The one that started the warzone that were in today. Now this one is fairly simple, Two new users made personal attacks on fellow users which caused two of them to retire. One is Scottie4DPOY and the other is AUSAR4MVP. Now I loved both of these users as they were mainly users who started their account or their prime started this year and I love to see new users progress rapidly and old users finally getting the fame for their hard work they put in trades and mocks and much more. Due to my frustration, I even made a post curious about one question. Where the fuck is our NBA general mod? https://fanspo.com/nba/s/general/p/eanpyuCHbbBeWr/where-the-fuck-is-our-general-mod Now the post did its work because it brought back the issue of the fact that we need an active NBA general mod. Now the discussions were mostly positive until Corey said something.... I didn't agree with but since he's my comrade and I guy I went to war with, I decided to agree with him without really agreeing with him if that makes sense. He said and quote "We need a mod really bad on this site. The discord does not have the site's best interest, they only have their best interest. If they had the site's best interest, they would not had harassed and bullied and then take down majority of their posts and hide like cowards". Now this was a direct shot at not only the discord but Coreys best friend purpleandgold. They went back and forth and at the time without realizing the full context of things, I made a attack on fellow DC users, the moment I saw... Kawn stepped into the ring. https://fanspo.com/nba/s/topshot/p/UeEUcYRMYThweE/on-the-state-of-fanspo-ii A former discord ally now turned into Discord enemy purpleandgold and kawn plus corey went back and forth in the comments. This led to....
๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐๐ฉ๐๐ก: ๐๐๐ฃ ๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ฃ ๐๐ก๐ง๐ข ๐ง๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ก๐: Now I'd want to say after kawn made his post calling out purpleandgold and his allies for having a "dictatorship" on here, arguably the most loved user on there in JAP launched a response post explaining the Discord's side of things: https://fanspo.com/nba/s/topshot/p/XL5br1SUq904x2/the-actual-state-of-fanspothe-discords-perspective Now once again they went back and forth both JAP and kawn but it was healthy back and forth and it led to a heartfelt conclusion. But were just getting started on what happened in this post.
๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐๐๐ง: ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ก๐๐ก๐ ๐ข๐ ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ช๐ก๐๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ ๐ง๐๐ ๐ ๐ข๐ฆ๐ง ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ ๐ข๐ก ๐๐๐ก๐ฆ๐ฃ๐ข: Now I made a comment on JAP's post and in there I said and I quote, "Ok you made points. Good and questionable.
1: I understand that most of fanspo has become immature but those two cornballs are no longer the issue. The issue is this whole situation could've been prevented if we had an active mod.
2: I dissagree with the fact that Fanspo should only be about sports. I think topics of music, pop culture, topics can be acceptable. I agree on politics. 1000%.
3: I've known corey for about a year now. He's frustrated as the rest of us.
4: If purpleandgold was going to give surge mod, he would've done it by now. Its the harsh reality/truth.
5: I know I've been in controversies but it never hurts to try: Now while wilt is no where near the answer, and my good friend corey has been thrown out the equation, we have 2 viable options.
1: SURGE: His consistent neutrality with beefs and his ability day in and day out to grind and almost 300 followers to his name in under a year speaks volumes about him. Would be the ideal and dream option
Of course the Discord would want someone who they can agree with on certain topics. Someone who wouldn't shy away from drama when it arises and stand up for the right thing.
Which is whyโฆ the second option is me. I've been in many many controversies I'm practically an expert. I never backed down when I feel something wasn't right or someone was doing the wrong thing. Have I made mistakes? One thousand percent, and I'll even list them: The way I handled the wilt situation, the way I handled the dubta situation, the way I handled the discord situation. I've messed up countless times. And I'm willing to admit apologize for my mistakes.
But as I've said, if you want someones whos loved and is going to get the job done, its surge.
If you want someone whos going to get the job done and speak out against any hate speech or racism or homo/transphobic themes, its me.
Very simple."
I was very reasonable in my statement and I wanted to have a solid discussion with him which I did end up getting. But in this comment post, Corey was asking me to take sides on the purpleandgold and once again, the pressure of disagreeing with the most powerful and popular creator on here, I said I agreed when deep down, I didn't agree with the way he called out THE ENTIRE Discord server. But I offered a idea. A plan where I would become a dictator, become public enemy number one, and Corey and Wilt (Two of my closest friends) Took me down thus me becoming a outcast and they would be able to build back up bridges with the discord which I would hope would lead to one or both users gaining mod. I would leave and the site stays in good hands. Let that sink in. I was willing to leave the site and this account and all the progress I put in. Just for the well being of the site. But he turned down the offer and then came....
๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐ก๐๐ก๐: ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐๐๐: Now after that convo with Corey, I talked to purpleandgold and after a good conversation with him, we struck a deal that would leave everyone happy. He would give Bdawg mod (which he did) and that corey would apologize? Simple right? We would have been set and everything we fought for the past five months, would finally pay off. But... as J cole once said:
๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐ง๐๐ก: แดสษชแด แด ษชs แดสแด แด แดแด ษชส: Now purpleandgold gave us a reasonable timeline. 12 hours deadline he wanted a apology from corey. Not a problem, Corey's usually active and he was active yesterday! So I let him know the plan. No response. He keeps commenting on post like nothing happened so I sent him another message about it. No response. Bdawg sent him a message about it. NO RESPONSE. In fact he didn't respond to anything involving the situation until 27 hours later when he saw on my feedback that purpleandgold let me know that he took Bdawgs mod back. Petty. Want to say something on here too. I shouldn't have spoken for corey. That's on me. But he loves talking about how he's older than most folks on here so making a apology towards purpleandgold and the Discord members and then letting me know what I did wrong and this wouldn't have been a major issue. But since Coreys prideful, he decided to let the site suffer in order to protect his ego. But what happens when a prideful person with power clashes with a dude who doesn't give a single fuck how much power and influence you have? Well folks you got:
๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ก: ๐๐ ๐ ๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ฌ: Now after he decided to go silent, I was looking for alternative solutions and I said something that has been taken out of context. The comment was about me and purpleandgold looking for alternative solutions so both sides could be happy and we could go our separate ways respectfully. Now one of the offers was to damage the reputation of any user they chose. Now let me make something clear. I knew that if they had agreed to that, their choice would be corey and they can vouch for me on here. But yes I did say that I would damage corey's reputation in order to get the site a active NBA general mod. Because at this point, my view is corey doesn't give a flying crap about the site and he's going to put his pride first.
๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐ง๐ช๐๐๐ฉ๐: ๐ก๐๐ช ๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐๐ฆ= ๐ก๐๐ช ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฆ: Now after all of this, me and corey start our back and forth. It was a solid and healthy conversation until he questioned my impact on the site. I'm not going to lie, that pissed me off. I've been advocating for whats best on Fanspo for the past 14 months and every single time, the site has become better because of it. Not going to let a user who started posting full in AUGUST take that away from me. I dropped a f bomb on him actually... go and check out the convo https://fanspo.com/nba/s/general/p/-U0_Hb9Qy08CHr/another-dictatorship-i-gotta-call-out-again After this I decided to try to take the passive route and had a conversation with bdawg and purpleandgold. 2 hours later I see he used the same format he called me out when I used it on dubta https://fanspo.com/u/coreynaylor2060/p/JcKIHb91IdYL4B/this-isnt-about-active-moderation-for-him-anymore Now in the post, I decided that instead of trying to have people on my side, I urged users to take the time and read for themselves and make their own opinion. I did this for one of two reasons:
1: Two of the biggest users on here fighting doesn't benefit anyone
2: Im outnumbered. At the time, didn't have any allies so me trying to start a war like that without anyone to back me up is like putting me in a ring with 90 lions.
Despite all of this, he decided to continue to act like he's perfect and has done no wrong which is why I made a post 4 hours ago about it. https://fanspo.com/u/jmg/p/Pwmgst90ay95bU/who-really-cares-about-this-site . I once again decided to take the passive route but then I realized. My career on here is at stake. So I decided to get started on this post. And now...
๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐ง๐๐๐ฅ๐ง๐๐๐ก: ๐ ๐ฌ ๐ง๐๐ข๐จ๐๐๐ง๐ฆ: If you would've told me around a few months back that I would be in a war against corey and that my allies would be the discord members, I would've blocked you. Seriously. But things and people change and sometimes, old foes need to join forces because we all have a common goal. TO SAVE THIS SITE! Corey is what happens when a user has power and uses it for malicious purposes. He knows that the post he just made will most likely ruin my career on here. He doesn't care about the site anymore and its clear as the pacific ocean that if he did, he would've apologized and swallow his pride. Now I don't know whats going to happen after I post this. I was told that I would have the backing by the Discord members but knowing corey, they might not even be enough.
In short this is my experience with corey. What was once a great user. Now turned into a Dictator.
Thank you for your time and hope you have a great day.
Oh yeah by the way, fuck corey <3
Yours truly, jmg.
