User blog comment:StoryGirl83/Recent Situation in the Discussion Area/@comment-36836718-20190617114332

Over the last few hours, I have been trying to find the right words and I hope to have found them. Forgive me if I fail. Please be aware that most if not all topics discussed are sensitive topics so I strongly advise your discretion, especially if you are underage.

From what I have seen, it seems that the person behind the recent attacks is angry about Across the Void (ATV) turning out to be a standalone. He came to the discussion area and told everyone to not talk negatively about books, especially not about ATV. He claimed that the wiki, especially Diva, alone was responsible for Pixelberry turning it into a standalone. In total, there are likely hundreds of thousands players worldwide who are not even registered here and still he only blamed us. He didn't blame Pixelberry, nor - as it seems - any of the other platforms. Even though we as only one out of many Choices communities on many different platforms don't have ANY power to turn a series into a standalone or vice versa! If we had such power, we would have already gotten Most Wanted 2 and Hero 2 years ago... But we don't have power over Pixelberry and this user wanted to forbid everyone to express their opinions freely. Not caring about the fact that some of us are also ATV fans and are also disappointed of it being a standalone.

The user was warned and, when things escalated, blocked. He created several accounts and went to other wikis where Diva is active and told her to kill herself. At the same time, he wanted to have the whole wiki shut down, claiming to be Pixelberry. However, the admins offered proof that Pixelberry doesn't see any problems with fan-run pages, including the wiki. He started calling for a rebellion against Diva with many different accounts who talked to each other. He kept insulting her and telling her to kill herself and when his posts got deleted, he made an account with a similar name as mine, trying to impersonate me. He basically said that I should kill Diva and then myself... He then started posting disturbing pictures. All of the admins and moderators tried to delete these pictures as fast as possible but it's likely that some of you still got to see some of them. I hope that most of you didn't get to see them. If you did and need someone to talk about it, please do. We're here for you.

Should you in the future come across any further attacks, please report them to the admins right away so that they can take care of it. Should any questions arise, please ask them.

Disclaimer:

I am aware that such things may trigger mental health issues and talking about things such as killing may especially be harmful for people having suicidal thoughts. Therefore I cannot stress it enough: should any of you notice any signs of suicidal thoughts or other mental health issues because of these attacks, please ask for help. Talk to family and/or friends if you have problems dealing with anything you saw or read. Additionally, in every country there are help hotlines who can help you at any time you need help or simply want someone to talk to anonymously. We don't want to see any lives ruined because of this. Thank you.
