Thread by: @Tricks_Forever Since only admins can post threads, let's use this general discussion one for multiple purposes. You might think why not notes? But in notes we cannot react and quote things, so this thread will be helpful when notes do not suffice.

Yes, I know no public accusations, and just report him, but I have, and he isn’t banned. So let me tell you about what he did. Illegal Accounts: I recently found out he was the guy that was spamming stuff about “@cars3ispeakyt is dating someone!” in clubs. But I found out they were probably the same person, whenever Cars came on, and the troll would be offline, Cars off, and the trolls online. He’s made multiple accounts that weren’t verified, and he uses disposable emails. His YouTube channel’s description said “alt account @horseforked”, and now he deleted it, since we found out, and now he’s saying he’s gotten hacked. I don’t know how long it’s been there, but I’m assuming a few days or so, or maybe a few hours (I don’t know), and he just now deleted it. It’s suspicious about his, and the trolls activity. Club Harassment: When he got banned from a club, he proceeded to evade the ban, and put the kissing emoji on all notes. He also did abbreviated version of bad words. When he got banned again, and evaded again, he stated some curse things. He even attacked Rik’s Nature club, and made the club into racial slurs! He did it on the account of @OppositionExpunge. That guy even said that cars liked me, and when I asked him, he wasn’t giving a clear answer and played ultimately dumb! Other suspicious activities: Whenever the troll accounts are made, his main are in their friends list. This can’t be a by accident, since he’s in all the troll accounts friend lists. Atrocious behavior: He also sent 2 pictures of his private parts, on his alt I think, then closed. The worst part is that he’s 12! He also said he was “closing”, and even made an announcement in a club. Then proceeds to manipulate others, and make them sad, just to put in his status, that he wasn’t leaving, nor closing. Cars accounts: @SomeoneUnknown1222 @Whatagoodusername222 @ChessMasterMind647 @cars3ispeakyt @cars3ispeak @carsbypixar @memelord83 @oppositionexpunge @i-like-mlnecraft @stop-it-now IMPERSONATION ACCOUNTS: @ireallywantstalemate (copying @ireallywantcheckmate) @i3rilliant (in the name fill out, it says Mack Rober, may be trying to impersonate Mark Rober. Also impersonating @i3lunders) His name is James Smith. BTW, this is not the finished version, and will update. Also I’m just warning him to others, so lock this if ya want ig.

Yesterday I wanted to analyse my game, you know, take a look at my blunders, my best moves etc. when I entered the page, BOOM, a "motor error" sign appeared, and I couldn't revise my game. Today, the same. I am not a premium user. Today I found something interesting, you all know that the first evaluation of the day is premium, so when I made this first evaluation, no error appeared. When I made my second revision, the error persisted. I am starting to think this is a trap to purchase the diamond membership 😭. Why won't it let me? Won't I be able to revise my games any more?
