Hello, in case this thread gets removed or hidden from public view, please visit the pastebin so it is not lost.
Pastebin link: Corrupt Admin - Pastebin.com

I will try to include as many public details as I possibly can however any sensitive information will have to be hidden to respect the staff team.

Multiple ex-staff such as myself have concerns regarding an admin. As well as there being active staff that recognize this behavior however do not want to speak up against this due to unwarranted repercussions.
@video

Abusing The Market:
His most recent gross misuse of actions have been using the report system in a way to bully his competition. He's been targeting @Chicks to gain an upper hand in the market.
Currently, Chicks is TWC'd due to @video's multiple reports as well as an @obadias report. TWC
As @Zora mentions, he felt that it's unfair to use deleted reports against Chicks.
Likely because these types of reports go directly against Do not make edit history/private reports

Resolved
The report video made here is especially concerning as he essentially used his position to target Chicks and requested for others to contact him directly rather than posting their own reports.
If any of you are also owed money from Chicks and are not being paid timely, please contact me

In this report, he banned @Chicks as soon as the report posted and changed his mind, however, it's an active decision to ban a user not a mistake unlike what people thought in the discord. https://i.imgur.com/gvwtear.png


Evidence of another @Chicks report that was done with abuse has been sent to Sythe staff. You may have seen it when it was public briefly in January. Unfortunately, it could not be provided here due to evidence being acquired as a staff member.

How about long term market abuse by having two threads running in the same section?
@Viking and @video
[Admin][OMM]Buying a Pmod Account, paying very well[12 years on sythe]
[$400 Donator] [400+ Vouches] WWW.STAMINA.RS - Account Shop [BTC][07GP]
This situation is far worse compared to the abuse done by @Ezrsgold here


His Employee:
Who is @Mellie? I recently made a report in RAV since currently, onsite evidence points that it's the same person as @video. You can view the direct thread or its pastebin.
However, it seems extremely unlikely that this is @video but rather @Ember.

It's very interesting that @Mellie shares the same RSN as @Ember. https://i.imgur.com/6huMSr7.png
Uncensored proof of this is in deleted for staff.

I'm not exactly sure why the alternate account besides possibly circumventing an agreement to not poach workers between @video and @Chicks or a non-compete between @Ember and @Chicks.
I've contacted Chicks for more info regarding this and it's being looked into.

Either way this lack of transparency from an Admin and Sectional Moderator is extremely concerning and likely stems from negative intentions.

Severe Incompetence/Abusing Staff Powers:
Unfortunately, most of this I am not able to make public. As you may have noticed, video doesn't handle many things onsite so most of his incompetence/negligence appears behind the scenes.
It's not much of a secret that @video will handle private reports disregarding rule in RAS. This has led to situations where users are upset when a different result is posted due to this negligence.
A private report video handled yet had no proof but decided to use his best friend, the DNT. [Resolved]
Staff reviewing this report can recognize the inadequacy of the proof.
Video's archaic understanding of Sythe isn't acceptable especially if he's using tools for his own pleasure and going against team decisions.
If he likes you enough, he'll surely give you special treatment. Ask @YanLiLi who gave them their march madness minirank.
Honestly though a more serious matter is the one where he'd allow users to break sticky rules. Which @Wortel addressed here: [denied] Require actual service quotes for services
Evidence of his favoritism in this situation has been sent to Sythe staff.

There's far more evidence than I could address that I'm sure any staff member at every rank would likely have recognized by now.
We'd rather increase public awareness regarding this topic rather than waiting for something to happen. I doubt he'd resign with volition. We don't see a reason to have an administrator that rarely completes any administrator tasks and sits on staff for his own gain.

There is some very concerning stuff here, A lot of this seems rather odd, Melanie's profile a bit of a weird one, so may as well lighten place up before it explodes, here a meme

I'll post a formal reply to this tomorrow, for now I will start by saying that there is a lot of misinformation/misrepresentation of information in this thread
 
I don't see the problem with the reports vs Chick and RuneM. Whenever i've tried contacting example RuneM myself there is never any response unless i go through PA.

Atleast someone did something with it. From my point of view normally the "big guys" just run their own way without any interference even when payments aren't being done as they should.

Just my two cents.

click like if i can be your new admin
 
So imo I feel that this is a big thing that should be addressed (was gonna comment it earlier lol) but @video has already said he is going to do that so we should appreciate that he is taking his time out to respond when ultimately he doesn't technically have to if he doesn't wish to


- Now i'm neutral on this, we don't know the full story, and until we know videos side of thing we shouldn't really be poking fun or anything. With the one sided story we are all inclined to assume the worse, and although I am not really on good terms with @Techie simply because I think he is an asshole with our recent interactions I thought that too before I woke up and decided to reply to this

- if there is corruption as being mentioned though, it should be formally replied to, and the appropriate actions taking place should also follow. I am more shocked that @Ember and @Mellie are the same person if true lol, because I have spoke to Mellie a couple of times on dm due to gold and never gave me the impression they were the same person let alone Ember actually does anything gold vendor related

As for the other comments, i'm not a fan of the other people either but free market is free market. I do not feel that TWC was warranted, although I did say to myself yep @Chicks is gonna get one no doubt with several of the disputes ive seen as of late. But to be fair, what is the point of TWC if it's appealed to 30 days later and handed out like a cake at playtime?

Maybe we should be focusing on certain rules/implementations to sort possible issues

The problem is he's reporting users and DNTing them with inadequate evidence. It's bad when he's handling someone else's dispute and has inadequate proof. It's worse when he's handling his own disputes on the forum and issuing DNTs/bans. He'll permanently delete the report to hide it.
These traders may be practicing bad trading however video's abuse of tools is worse.

It's unfortunate how long this has been going on, I'm sure some people are aware of the phrase "video report". I mean @video's well aware of it.

I think everyone has a right to make a scam report if someone owes them money and is not paying in a timely fashion... admin or not.

I don't understand, in RAV you post that Mellie is the same person as Video, which I don't see how that is a problem even if they share the same home ip (I don't think Video is doing trades with his own worker and exchanging vouches so how is that self interaction). And even if they are different people you say that Video owns Mellie's email, which is a good idea for the owner of the business to be the owner of the email? So I also don't see anything wrong with that aswell. And then on this thread you say that Mellie is Ember?;o



These two scenarios are completely different, im sure Logo wasn't promoting big boi bets at the time and actively doing business on sythe on their behalf, while im also sure racozy was on sythe getting sales on behalf of Ariba?

I agree everyone has a right to make a report, staff or not. The issue is staff cannot hand out DNT ranks or bans on their own reports as this is a power imbalance between two traders. A further issue is issuing bans/DNTs without providing sufficient proof bypassing the checks and balances in place for RAS.

The issue regarding Mellie is appearing as an account belonging to his worker. This is not a company account. There's multiple rules in place regarding how company accounts are supposed to operate on the forum. There's a huge lack of transparency from them when it comes to their business.

Mellie on sythe, discord melanie#7465 797576099138895922 is my worker, trust them as you would trust me

Post with few reports: RuneBet Pardon

can anyone explain to me why half reports on runechat have disappeared? even if they are not right, only there title should be changed to "Resolved", one of the reports I linked was closed by @Sun when she was admin and lead to a ban but it does exist anymore, this one: https://www.sythe.org/threads/scam-report-on-runebet-smite-yo-bgs/

You can check pardon to see that multiple reports have disappeared (for the public), maybe this has something to do with this thread, but I would like the answer to it.

I know for fact it was Video btw ;)

Can confirm, there are also some things I can't see that are apparently public
