Crispy seems like a fine enough guy to me, but man, everyone sure does hate his guts around here. He must have gotten up to some weird shit before my time here.

Crispy is like what I imagined every codexer to be before I ever actually visited the site: somewhat smug old fucks. Of course, that's still true of most codexers, it's just that the whole "extremist right-wing traditionalist neo-nazi" thing fell outside of my expectations for a website that I had, up that point, only known for complaining about Oblivion level scaling.

I don't think anyone here actually hates Crispy.

Despises, more like. Feels deeply, deeply ashamed for him. Uncontrollable revultion. *shudders*

If you read the rules of the forum you should know it is his role. I do hope he gets some compensation, because it is quite an uncomfortable position.

Crispy encapsulates everything you hate about a moderator.

He:
- is petty & vindictive
- has a severe god-complex and constantly flexes his perceived 'powers'
- hypocritical, breaks the rules he's meant to enforce
- a loli porn enjoyer

and possibly a sex pest. (Weird obsession with female presenting users, persistently will badger users to know if they are female or not.)

The only condolence I have is that he is continuously ridiculed / ignored / laughed at - both by his peers and the community he 'moderates' - and he endures it all for free.


EDIT

Oh I forgot this

- will leak private DM's to people that confide in him to get a cheap laugh
- will attempt to gaslight that and play it off as him 'giving tough love to help them out'

Crispy always rejects all of my reports, including perfectly legitimate ones, out of pure pettiness and spite, to the detriment of his own (already limited) effectiveness as "moderator".

I think that if I were to report a post that's fully doxxing another codexer (such as leaking his/his passport scans, SSN, home address, phone number, credit card number and email password), Crispy would reject my report with some bullshit response like "It doesn't specify penis size so it's clearly not doxxing, Conservative, and stop abusing the report button".

Crispy rejected my report.
But when I reported Crispy's post because he breaks the rules all the time, strangely that report was actioned. (And he bitched and cried about it)

Really makes you think.

If you pay attention, you'll notice there's a very minor and very vocal collection of users here who "hate" me. I thought about listing them but I don't think that's necessary; most of them have already either posted or been mentioned in this very thread.

So are there any examples of this behavior?

There's a reason Crispy is the only staff member you can put on ignore.
I can't be assed to dig up his posts - so you'll have to trust_me_bro.jpg.

Crispy is actually a very very very deep RPGHQ mole. Agent Crispy is here to destabilize the Codex by alienating its more active users.

Well done, Agent Crispy. Your payment will be dropped at the agreed upon location. All you have to do is let us know: free RPG or a dozen Emma Watson deepfakes. :salute:

Remember: next time you do it as humourlessly as possible, you get them both. :salute:

Are you implying that there's a major and very silent majority of users here who like you, and one need only pay extra-special attention to notice all these massive amounts of people? Funny how none of this enormity of Crispyfans can be bothered to defend you. Silent majority indeed, Liberal.

What other moderator is there who engages with the users, helps them with advice and jokes with them? I can only imagine it's because of that closeness that some behave in a somewhat cocky way.
Yes there are times when he acts quite erratic, and i do have some theories as to why (well, not that it matters much), but most of the time he's a pretty chill guy.

That's a good question.

What other moderator is there on the RPGCodex, besides Crapspy?

Dunderlord, Infinitroon, Twigtard and Taluntaint are admins.

Rogueay has no mod/admin powers (allegedly).

Scruffy was a mod but he died/left/no one cares.

Maybe Derp Shitxor and WhiskeyWolf are mods? Or are they admins, and Crapsy is the sole remaining moderator?
