i just... sorry to keep going but i need to say this cos i think people have lost perspective. the whole fallout in AR began cos paypal froze our funds, sth i kept warning we were getting warning emails about, and was ignored, and something that, when it happened, i was adamant
that we needed to be upfront with the team about.
the other mods didn't want me to tell the team (later justified it as wanting to want to have more info from pp before informing the team, but at the time comments were made about moving all funds to nerni's bank account & about

how contributors didn't need to know whose mod it was that had access to the money, which paired with the issues i had already been informed of about nerni, made me think i really needed to tell the team asap). as head mod, i saw no benefit to keeping it a secret when we could
just update them with any further developments, and hiding it really didn't sit right with me since i believed we should be as transparent as possible.

i said as much to the mods and made the decision, as head mod, to tell the team it had happened, and that paypal was already
looking into it and SHOULD unfreeze soon (if things had happened normally).
THIS is what prompted the whole discussion. What had the mods unlinking the pp account with 11k and changing its recovery info (making it so the zine email was a secondary one and the funds were actually
THIS is what prompted the whole discussion. What had the mods unlinking the pp account with 11k and changing its recovery info (making it so the zine email was a secondary one and the funds were actually
linked to a mod's primary thus meaning the team could lose all access to everything) and linking the bigcartel store to nerni's own stripe account overnight and without informing anyone.
They kept claiming me choosing to tell the team about pp had been a breach of trust, but
They kept claiming me choosing to tell the team about pp had been a breach of trust, but
refused to see how what they did raised red flags. they claimed i couldn't be trusted with any financial decisions, but i never once touched the paypal and was the one constantly insisting that more than one person had access to the money at all times.
later, when questioned by the contributors, who didn't get why it was such a big deal that i informed them of pp freezing us, mods told them the reason they were so mad was because i promised paypal would absolutely unfreeze us, which are words i never used and even if i had,
still made this seem like a wildly disproportionate reaction - funnily enough, nerni lying to paypal via their help chat is what got them not to unfreeze, a conversation i have a transcript of since pp emails that to you :_)
no good explanation was given as to why it was wrong
no good explanation was given as to why it was wrong
of me to inform the team of everything, as to why doing so was a breach of trust, or as to why i wasn't allowed to make such a decision as head mod. throughout the day i was ignored as i attempted to solve things and have a discussion and add one of our contributors to act as our
finances mod for the time being. i received no answer until met with an ultimatum at 1am with terms that would've left contributors entirely unprotected and given 15 min only to reply, only to be kicked out of the server without any further discussion when I replied.
i just. I need to put this out there again because it's still just as wild to me now as it was back then. there's A LOT more to it and a lot more red flags, such as nerni just insisting she wanted all funds transfered to her at once instead of showing us each receipt so we could
send the right amount of money each time.
there's just so, so much more, but i still can't wrap my head around any of it, and i'm tired of posts and vagues and whatnot from people who don't know shit about what happened insulting and attacking me still.

literally all i want is an apology...

also none of this is even new btw. this is the stuff we had already shared back then. i'm not even opening the floodgates here & spilling all the deets, it's just that this bit alone is already fucking wild
