)
Honorable Judge @Tyki_Mikk, respected members of the jury, esteemed colleagues, and all watching members of our beloved forum,
As we come to the close of this trial, I stand before you not simply to repeat what has already been said, but to illuminate the undeniable truth that has emerged throughout these proceedings—a truth that paints a clear picture of misconduct, abuse of power, and betrayal at the hands of one man:
@AL sama.
This is not a case built on petty grievances or baseless rumors. This case rests on solid evidence, consistent witness testimonies, and a pattern of behavior that has repeatedly undermined the very foundations of this community.
On the Charge of Horny Ass Clickbait Thumbnails
From the start, the prosecution has maintained that @AL sama’s thumbnails are not merely provocative—they are predatory. They exploit the desires of anime fans and forum members under the guise of “marketing” or “creativity.”
We heard from
@Rej, who bluntly called
@AL sama a “hoe.” While this may sound like simple name-calling, it reflects a deeper fact and frustration shared by many: that these thumbnails reduce our community space to a baited trap, a place where titillation is used to draw people in, only to serve minimal or no relevant content.
This is more than just annoyance.
@Peroroncino’s testimony was clear and precise—he described being repeatedly subjected to these indecent thumbnails and expressed genuine discomfort, highlighting the adverse impact on community members.
Let us not forget, YouTube itself—and any reasonable platform—sets boundaries on clickbait and sexually suggestive content to protect viewers. If these thumbnails are allowed to continue, we create a space where boundaries are meaningless, and the forum loses its integrity.
On the Use of AI Voice Narration
The defense’s argument that using AI voice is simply innovation glosses over an important point: this decision replaces genuine, human interaction with a cold, impersonal robot voice.
This isn’t just about novelty; it’s about the
quality of discourse and the respect owed to the audience.
Our forum thrives on personal connection and authentic communication. Replacing human voices with AI risks alienating members and eroding the sense of community.
Moreover,
no effort was made to provide alternative voices or options—a dismissive decision that, again, shows disregard for the audience.
On Post Deletions and Silencing the Community
This charge strikes at the heart of moderation abuse.
We heard from
@Dr_Professor83, who confirmed that the forum experienced crashes and disruptions at key moments when heated discussions were deleted.
This is not a coincidence.
Deleting posts under the pretext of “keeping order” becomes a weapon when used to erase dissent and silence critics.
The prosecution has demonstrated a pattern of strategic deletions during critical discussions, depriving the community of transparency and the ability to witness authentic debate.
On Hypocrisy and Power Consolidation
A significant theme throughout the trial has been @AL sama’s contradictory behavior, particularly around the deletion of posts.
We saw firsthand, as detailed in the prosecution’s evidence, how
@AL sama vocally opposed the deletion of posts by another mod,
@Tyki_Mikk, while freely deleting posts himself.
This hypocrisy is not a minor inconsistency; it reveals a deeper desire to
maintain absolute control rather than uphold fair and balanced moderation.
This was not lost on members of the community, who voiced concerns over this power imbalance.
On Rigging the @Pot Goblin and @Bepo D. Bear Trial
The integrity of our judicial process is paramount.
The jury, composed of respected community members, reached a verdict of “innocently guilty” for
@Pot Goblin and
@Bepo D. Bear.
Yet, we saw that
@AL sama, acting unilaterally, imposed a “guilty” verdict instead.
The defense’s attempt to argue confusion or protocol failure cannot erase the fact that
he ignored clear jury consensus—effectively overriding the community’s voice.
This blatant disregard for due process and fairness undermines the very concept of justice on this forum.
On The Coup Against Judge @Reborn
The so-called “coup” against
@Reborn, a fair and respected judge, further illustrates @AL sama’s lust for control.
The prosecution has shown how this was an unannounced takeover—unilaterally removing a judge without community input or transparent process.
We heard about threats of jailing
@Reborn himself—actions unbecoming of any moderator or justice figure.
This was not about justice; it was about seizing power.
On Unlawful Jailing of @Flower and @Tyki_Mikk
The unjust incarceration of fellow community members like
@Flower and
@Tyki_Mikk — based on hearsay or inadequate evidence — reveals the dangerous lengths to which
@AL sama is willing to go.
The charge of unlawful jailing goes beyond mere moderation; it is an abuse of authority that fractures trust.
This power trip is clear, unambiguous, and unacceptable.
On Betrayal of his Nakama in Hurt & Heal: The Personal Impact
This charge may feel personal, but it is no less significant.
My testimony, supported by VERIFIABLE screenshots (note that the defense has no verifiable screenshots), shows a profound betrayal—@AL sama using allies as stepping stones and then discarding them.
This is not the behavior of a trustworthy leader, but of someone who values control and manipulation over genuine relationships.
On The Death of Worstgen and Forum Stability
The collapse of the forum following the sign-up thread for this very trial was more than a technical hiccup.
@Dr_Professor83 and
@Mashiro Blue provided detailed testimony about how the forum repeatedly went down during key moments—events coinciding suspiciously with @AL sama’s activity.
We are not here to lay blame for technical failures alone, but to highlight that @AL sama’s actions directly contributed to instability.
The community’s very home was shaken, and attempts to silence voices and obscure evidence followed.
Responding to the Defense
The defense would have you believe this trial is a “circus,” a vendetta, and that
@AL sama is a victim.
But look at the evidence: the testimonies of our witnesses, the documented abuses, and the pattern of behavior.
This is not a matter of “creative marketing,” “innovation,” or “efficiency.”
It is a matter of
accountability.
We do not seek to punish creativity; we seek to protect community standards.
We do not seek to punish innovation; we seek to preserve respectful communication.
We do not seek to punish moderation; we seek to ensure fairness and transparency.
Final Appeal
Members of the jury, your duty is clear.
You are the guardians of our community’s integrity and trust.
You must hold
@AL sama accountable for these crimes, not because of personal grudges, but because the facts demand it.
By finding
@AL sama guilty on all counts, you send a message:
That this forum will not tolerate exploitation, abuse, or betrayal.
That no moderator is above the law or the community’s voice.
That justice here is not a theatre, but a solemn responsibility.
The choice before you is not just about one man, but the future of this community.
Thank you.
