Plenty of Internet communities have gross weirdos in them lol
Just ignore and block until he gets banned for something.
I posted here 1000s of times and don't think I ever interacted with him.

edit: Do you really not think that, say, Roblox doesn't have tons or predators and a history of covering up their failure to act in such cases?

what argument are you even making? pie crust wasn't banned from anywhere until long after he was known despite spamming me (11 and like freshly on discord) and my friends in queeba's discord with dog research and a thread being made about it. that's just bad. it doesn't matter what platform it's on, it's just straight up bad practice.

i'm like 90% sure that most communities before and after the internet didn't have a local 20+ year old dogforgeter who harassed 11 year olds with bestiality research unsure though dren

Drama / Re: my final message to badspot

badspot is not responsible for the actions of independent individuals. he never allowed known predators to groom kids; the predators allowed themselves, because they have free will and agency over their actions. even once the exploitation and research was revealed, badspot is still legally required to remove it and report all of the activity to federal agencies, which he did several times.

so many predatory individuals have been banned immediately once it was exposed that they proposed a danger to the community or strongly implied they were, including but not limited to pie crust nickpb emo freek otis and bisjac, including the ones which outright harassed children using the in-site dm system. wait, no no no, they weren't, sorry. badspot should therefore be excused for not moderating his community of highly impressionable children (since he had literally nothing better to do) and not using the resource in which he provided to lodge complaints against other members to identify potentially dangerous individuals. it's not his fault that they used dms to groom people that were repeatedly revealed for everyone to see or posted ponographic loli stuff in quite literally the most active threads possible and didn't get banned because there were like a few instances in which they were banned for arbitrarily crossing the line in which badspot deemed it too far, so he's excused from ever getting criticism of any sort

i feel like you could more effectively ruin badspot's career if you like waited for him to release new software and then documented how he allowed known predators to talk to and groom/harass young children through his forum rather than just like telling it to his face because he doesn't care

ironically in the pursuit of eliminating cringe culture and homogenizing communities i think we've looped back around to being resistant toward oddities and new ideas while establishing new standards of what's cringe. i legitimately have not seen anyone passionately talk about an indie game that wasn't traditionally appealing or wasn't a direct spiritual successor to some previously popular game with the exception of like, everhood in Years but i can go onto twitter, click on the first meme i see on For You and find a puppygirl page in the comments with 10,000 followers which constantly text posts about milking boys with their pawbs or something. 10 years ago this would be completely swapped and I could go to literally any social media or forum with a games section and see 3 topics about Risk of Terrariaboundtales of Aether Throne Fortress as well as 2 threads on the newest cool webcomic and a thread full of Entomologists and I would only ever see OldManYaoi83 in public when hanging around communities which specifically appealed to them

i sort of miss when communities on the internet were sort of fun. like 10 years ago, everyone in every single circle i knew liked TF2, every community had bronies, every single community had extremely toxic stuffters everyone hated and extremely jolly lads that were unphased by everything. things Happened, and it genuinely  felt exciting being apart of most communities or even simply observing them on a day by day basis.
now it feels like every community on discord is composed of like 4 factory produced white dudes who are ambivalent about everything except for like valorant and don't talk about anything else and people they occasionally play with, or a group of like 5 of the worst people you've ever known and like 50 people they invited because they thought it would be funny. where are the extremely active communities full of extremely differing people who all have their own opinions about things and aren't afraid to express them in explosive ways or sometimes even in unusually proper debate? where are the people who like something extremely niche and try to share it to the wider forum, which in itself is composed of people with vibrant personalities? where's the controversy? where's the collaboration?

Ive already been asking people to scan it. They made in clean in response to my accusations

why? if this is a genuine attempt to spread a payload to as many people as possible then why should they remove it? no one believes you and you're single handedly sewing doubt in even the possibility that it could have malware by acting the way you are. if the team behind this truly was a malicious entity then you are helping them by making it so that every potential claim, even with proof, will be associated with you and your actions in this Very Thread and dismissed because of how flippant you are about your own accusations.

One week it was dirty, and one week its clean, that's not a false positive that's a modification of code.

... do you know how antivirus software works? they have a big database of signatures that they scan for when going over software and if something trips a specific pattern or existing code signature then it gets flagged. new software matches no existing signature or may vaguely match an existing malware signature, and unpopular software is often malicious, so they will be flagged automatically. over the past week, people have actually been Using the software enough for it to not get flagged. even if it went without an update over the past week, it would have stopped being flagged simply due to that fact.
You need to provide proof it does anything malicious. observe it in process explorer, check it's network activity, anything - antiviral software are not the be-all-end-all of malware identification

This topic alone has several users spontaneously defending it or ignoring previous posts with evidence. Several people tied to kenko have outright denied any possibility of it. Its damage control, and my friend was not the only one banned from the discord, not to mention they didn't ban several other well known spammers, only those spamming about this.

if you search from:kenkoman ariame in the bcc you'll find kenko like joining conversations just to like call me stupid and nothing else. he eventually left the bcc after being fed up with me and never came back. he didn't accept the friend request i sent to him to ask him questions and i was forced to join the discord, where upon asking questions (which were eventually answered by other people) he only gave like indirect dismissive responses to me after previously talking actively in chat. i don't think kenko wants anything to do with me at all, nor am i associated with him - you're just being stupid

also also also: what if i wanted to create my own fork? like, if i just wanted to make my own version with my own features? or to try and contribute improvements to existing features? or even if this was to go the way of blockland and stop being actively maintained, with developers who are difficult to reach or else? i don't see any particular reason to be hostile over even the prospect of it being open source, manteuro

I guess you shouldn't download anything from the internet, and only the microsoft store. You need to be sure that all of your software is secure.

i use internet products with the confidence that i can get my money back and more if they cause me harm, provided they're through a proven trustworthy service like steam or something. if they're not through a proven trustworthy service, then there's something to verify that it's safe to run and not evil and won't steal my data, like a source that i can just look through to see if it does anything malicious and compile myself if i don't trust official releases. if neither, then i'm just not going to use the software because i have the ability to make my own and don't want to risk having my computer self destruct because i wanted to play someone's private fork of a lego building game, which i think is pretty fair

And yes. Once Blockland R is open source we can finally know if its a virus, that is the only factor keeping us from knowing if its a false positive.

i don't know kenko or anyone else involved. if Bill Gates came up to me and offered me a usb stick with Windows 12 on it I'd probably decline, which is a personal opinion but I think it's not unreasonable

i also don't really get the hostility and standoffishness; did i do something to you?

The main concern with making Rebuilt open source is the fact that Blockland is still a paid product that is actively being sold.

Also, it would be deranged to put this amount of effort into reverse-engineering with the ulterior motive of hacking people's computers, but stay on your toes...

it would be deranged, but being malicious is a real thing and i personally don't want to use the software until i know somewhat what i'm getting into especially as they have the ability to make things open source but just don't
it's frustrating that this is even a discussion of any sort

functional human beings don't act like this and if it was their actual personality you'd have even less reason to interact because functional adults don't turn out like that for a reason
