===== Initial allegations made =====

Many allegations towards shep and the moderation environment were made by the ex mods, these include but are not limited to:

- Shep acting childish and reversing mod decisions.
  - Overall bad tools given to moderation teams
  - Mods couldn't reverse bans and as such tickets were ignored.
  - Mods were overworked with high work hours.
  - Shep's decision to only allow shadowbans likely led to the mods being unable to effectively ban known minors off of the site.
  - Bots in general cannot be deleted, only force privated, so you can see the issue.
  - Volunteers were to be paid in nitro but shep never followed up on the reward.
  - A paid mod on this website reported not receiving her paycheck on the dates they were supposed to be given, and had to remind the Dev's constantly.
  - They were fired shortly after as there was no budget anymore.
  - The devs lied about them quitting.
  - The mods were told about major changes only at the time the users were told about it.

You may feel free to add more to the list.
