'''The Troon Uprisings''' were a series of bitchfits the Troons of [[SomethingAwful]] threw on the QCS subforum regarding the FYAD subforum that resulted in the latters closure then deletion. The incident later evolved into CSPAMs open revolt against the SA mod team, resulting in PartyPlaneJones being outed as a "Nazi hunting spy" and his self requested permaban. | '''The Troon Uprisings''' (Referred to as '''Operation Goonraker''' originally by [[MOTHER]] agents) were a series of bitchfits the Troons of [[SomethingAwful]] threw on the QCS subforum regarding the FYAD subforum that resulted in the latters closure then deletion.

Emboldened by their outing of Jones and Capris perma, troons then set their sights on the rest of BMW, namely those who were still active on SA and associated Discords. A pastebin of Bimmer usernames and Discord ids was passed around Leftist sympathetic Discords and all members, active or not, were kicked. | Emboldened by their outing of Jones and Capris perma, troons then set their sights on the rest of BMW, namely those who were still active on SA and associated Discords.

Ironically enough, also targeted was [[Tempus Thales]] and his [[GDN]] bot. Tempus, now apparently also a Nazi, was bombarded in his [[Unofficial SA Discord]] with CSPAMers demanding answers all while dozens of Discords removed the bot from their server. In a shocking betrayal, [[Kimsemus]] ratted on Tempus, revealing that GDN in fact had an exploitable weakness via its API. Kim was subsequently banned from The Unofficial SA Discord, but the rumor had gotten out regardless. | Ironically enough, also targeted was [[Tempus Thales]] and his [[GDN]] bot.

Attempting to quell the wildfire, Tempus posted a thread in the Private Games Servers subforum but was immediately swamped by peopled demanding the source code of the bot to be release, which after an hour or so, IAmKale eventually caved to <ref>https://github.com/MasterKale/gdnbot2</ref>. This did nothing to satisfy the Goons, who went on further to demand that all Bimmers be banned, despite most already being banned over a year earlier. Regardless, on the 9th and 10th, TT banned the non-offending Bimmers from his family of Discords. | |||
In the end though, GDN had lost dozens of servers and almost 50% of users were lost from the network. | |||
== CSPAM Denied Mod == | |||
Throughout the uprisings, the CSPAM troons had been jockeying for modship under the guise of making the site better. Meanwhile, in their Discord they spoke to each other of how'd they'd use this power to lord over people they deemed Nazis and how they would leak mod chat. This was revealed to the general public on January 9th, when Taylor leaked the Discord logs<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/something-awful-and-friends.9689/page-912#post-5839854</ref> of Succ Zone gathered via a MOTHER operative. The mods and admins of SA ended up reading the logs and the excerpts posted on KiwiFarms, and used it as evidence that no one from Succ Zone should be promoted or allowed to become mod. | |||
As of January 18th, the uprisings had mostly died down to a dull roar of probations and crying in QCS. | |||
== Aftermath == | |||
[[File:RA33MIP.png|thumb|right|upright|They hated him, for he told the truth.]] | |||
On January 23rd, Bread and Roses website was officially launched and almost immediately locked down except to well vetted members. | |||
2 week later, Koalas March announced she was taking a break from modding the now dead subforum. | |||
As a result of the Uprisings, KiwiFarms and BMW developed a brief close relationship. | |||
The Troon Uprisings end also signaled the end of the long waged Clown World War I. | |||
