#qadmin situation

[antimony-medusa]

Today in “apparently communication is impossible in 2024” the French union never contacted Quackity beyond a Twitter call-out???

[catsinaspacesuit]

Quackity is giving some updates about QSMP structural changes:

- He has been on many calls and reading comments, but is still not done.

- People who were in charge some of the financial and administrative wrong doings were fired.

- The QSMP wouldn't last much longer if I had kept going the way I was doing.

- He is basically restarting the administration almost from zero

- There won't be more individual update accounts for each creator or each language at least for a while

- There won't be any eggs or npcs **TEMPORARILY**

-Creators will be in charge of their own lore and the team is not going to intervene in that anymore

- The competitive level is going to slow down

- The server will be in basic terms

- The server might be re opened but that doesn't mean everything is fixed

*feel free to add the things i forgot*

leans into the mic. the qsmp streams and events are not to distract from the admin situation. the new admin team (which likely includes some admins who stayed from the last one) likely just want to have fun on the server they’re on. they’re allowed to do that. thank u <3

I think it's important for people that aren't from the US to know that quackity having his address doxxed isn't just dangerous because crazy fans might show up at his door.

It is incredibly dangerous for any cc that lives in the US to have their address leaked because they can be swatted with just a 911 call, and it can happen more then one time.

I greatly suggest watching qtcinderella's interview with anthony padilla where she specifically talks about multiple experiences with swatting, that were so bad she got actual ptsd from them.

It is extremely important to note that qt and ludwig are white and this is how traumatizing those experiences were for them, even with their privilage. Quackity is not a white man, quackity is a mexican man, living in a country with a police force known for their racism and xenophobia, which has actively gotten many innocent people killed simply because of their race or where they came from. Swatting is danger for any cc, but for quackity it is even more so.

So no, what happened to quackity wasn't just a tiny oopsy daisy, as accidental as it may have started, and I think people that try to justify it or dismiss it are disgusting and I please ask that you stay away from this blog.

i hope any non-english speakers on qsmpblr know that they are welcome here, and that they are not obligated to speak english to be part of this community. anyone who tells you otherwise can go fuck themselves. no one should feel scared or ashamed in speaking their native language. the qsmp is about breaking language barriers, forming bonds with people that we might not have communicated with before, and despite everything going on right now, that has not changed. we had a language day last month, where everyone wrote posts in their first language, and it was fantastic and maybe we can have another day like this in the future, but we should also encourage more people so they can feel comfortable doing this every day.

"I saw some of you commenting about qsmp here, I will come back to the server once they regularize the situation of empanada's admin (that was my condition to them)! All the feedback she and other admins made I made a point of personally passing it on to the team, to guarantee they are being heard. We made some calls with quackity too, so I know he is trying his best to make the most people happy.

I truly hope all is fixed soon and we reach a point where everybody is comfortable and happy to be in the project, which I believe was the purpose since the beginning"

Do people understand the reason Q cannot apologize about the situation right now? Or are people a bit confused?

It's basically something in the US court system, that when someone is involved in a case and apologizes for the issues and takes the blame (rightful or not) the others in the same case can use it to put all the blame on one person and the others would get off scott free.

That is something that does actually happen, and I have had experience with. I can explain a little if people want but the circumstances are different as mine is around family and inheritance mostly.

So, yes, while the admins, 100% deserve explanations and apologies, due to leaks of private messages (that they are in their own right to show) I personally do not think an apology will be given until any of the higher up issues have been resolved.

*Edit*

Thanks @qsmpbutwithsignlanguage :

"An apology is considered a complete admission of guilt in the court of law in the United States of America, for more specific terminology. "

I forgot the specifics when writing this

on every single level admingate has been a complete disaster and it's been awful to have to witness. but theres something kind of twistedly funny in finding out the french union that's been threatening quackity this whole time never even emailed him

[qsmpbutwithsignlanguage]

btw if I see anyone going at Quackity for being emotional or victimizing himself, I will not grant you the privilege of hearing out your opinion, I will block you. On site. Without remorse.

He A) is a victim. He has been doxxed, harrassed, stalked, and sent death threats. These things are crimes that Quackity is a victim of, and I think it's insane if you believe he's victimizing himself when he is a fucking victim.

And B) he is allowed to be emotional when he's afraid for his life? Actually, in general he's allowed to be emotional, that's not a question, but now more than ever. Celebrities and influencers have teared up far more over far less without anywhere near as much backlash.

This isn't a discussion to be had. If you believe he's unreasonably emotional or victimizing himself in the situation then make yourself known now so we can both block each other and never interact again.

I mean it.

[sharptoothed-gaze]

Honestly, I'm not ready for a Qsmp 2 entirely because I still don't trust QStudios management. As of right now, they've actively done nothing to show me any internal improvement. It's actually been either the same or worse.

I love this project with my whole heart, and because of that I don't want manufactured hype for a season 2. Soooo yeah seeing a big red 2 to keep super fans hooked doesn't inspire positivity or hope for me.

Imagine a world where business decisions were not handled via Twitter callout. This is not that world, but if you will join me in opening mail.google.com, it COULD be.

Remember that NONE of the ex-admins have said anything negative about Quackity himself expect from his lack of knowledge about the situation and not communicating with the admins. Which is a valid criticism.

Remember NONE of the past or current members of the QSMP have spoken negatively about Quackity and none of them have left because of him.

Remember that even now, no one has said they will leave the qsmp. There are people taking breaks or time off the server due to the circumstances but no one has explicitly said they will leave.

Even Antoine said he wants to talk with Quackity before making a decision!!!

Phil, Pac, Bagi, Foolish, Bad, Pierre, YD, Roier and others have played on the server since. They wouldn't if they didn't like or trust Quackity.

If you don't like him, that's fine! If you don't want to support the server, that's fine! If you don't want to buy merch, that's fine! It's okay to not like him or to have worries.

But I think it speaks more volume that some of his closest friends and members of the server haven't said anything negative about him, and I trust their judgement.

Hello! I've been inactive due to the current events in the mcyt community, but I've been keeping up with the qsmp admin situation and I thought I'd share some opinions because the amount of doomposting I've seen the last few weeks has been more than I've seen in any fandom in a while and I feel like it's reached the point where people really need to chill the fuck out because they're not thinking straight and actively not helping. Everything I'm gonna say is based on stuff I've seen on both tumblr and twitter.

they should not promote/release merch! : one of the things that baffles me the most tbh; how do you expect any employee to be payed then? Merch is so far the only big source of income for the server besides q's own cc salary or whatever income they get through the official qsmp channel on twitch and youtube (which I don't think is a lot). "I get that they said they have no funds, but still it doesn't feel right"... sorry but at this point I don't know what to tell you, do you expect them to pull money out of their asses? You can't demand that they stop making merch and then complain that they can't afford the twitter admins at the same time. If you don't feel comfortable buying anything from them it's fine obviously, but if your reason for it is that you're helping the admins then I have bad news for you. I have seen people propose that quackity sets up a patreon, and while I think it would be a good idea, I understand why he's not doing it, since with the merch he can at least give something back to the people that choose to support his project instead of people just giving him money for free, especially with what's happening now. Also with how much hate he's been receiving simply for the merch I can't imagine that a patreon would be recieved well.

we don't know if the money is going to the admins/ they should not use pomme's likeness! : the money is definitely going to go to the employees and admins because otherwise the server would not last. And as much as I understand people feeling protective over pomme's admin, quackity studios is very much allowed to sell merch of the character because it is not the likeness of the admin, it's a minecraft model made by the people that work there. Would you have rathered they skip her character entirely? Do you really think that would have been okay?. Also correct me if I'm wrong, but I've seen posts and tweets saying that pomme's admin has been confirmed to come back with the other eggs whenever it happens by pierre, who talked with her admin.

the admins of the update accounts got fired, it means they want to fire everyone, they aren't making things better! : it sucks that the updates accounts had to end and I feel bad for every twitter admin that clearly cared a lot about the project, but unfortunately it had to happen if there simply isn't enough money to pay them adequately like they deserved and ultimately the update accounts were not essential to keep the project going, so it makes sense that they were let go unfortunately. This is not gonna be the case for the egg admins because if they got fired (which they didn't), the server would basically end. Just because a cc does not know when they will be back does not mean it's not gonna happen. Just because tubbo randomly said that he's not sure if they will be back does not mean they were fired; tubbo is normally not a reliable source of information, even less so when he's been live nonstop for the past 20 days, which is prior to everything happening. If you genuinely didn't expect a reduction in non essential staff considering everything, then you have unreasonable expectations on how this stuff goes. As I write this, I'm seeing people saying that "they would understand this decision if q had set up a patreon to pay the admins", and once again I don't understand how people don't realize why quackity might not be keen on the idea of having his fans pay his own employees for his own project instead of, you know, doing it himself; and, again, do not fool yourself into thinking it would be recieved well. That being said, it's fair to criticize how everything was communicated to the admins, but I'll get to this in more detail later.

quackity should not have uninstalled social media, he's trying to avoid everything! : he's not avoiding anything, he's been off social media for a while now, which is why it took him that long to remove wilbur from the server. He has every right to not want to look at social media, as his focus should be on restructuring his server instead of doomscrolling on twitter because people think he needs to see how much people dislike him. The only people that he should talk to are those that have important information to tell him, like josè with the document. He explicitly said on stream where to contact him if you have helpful information and I'm sure that despite multiple well liked posts saying not to spam his email, people are definitely doing it anyway, which is probably gonna slow the whole thing down even more. I hope josè's document is able to be seen with pierre's help as well.

quackity studios is not communicating with their employees and leaving them in the dark and that's not okay : I agree with this. i think a huge chunk of doomposting lately has been due the lack of communication not with the audience, but with the admins, and they deserve to know what is happening behind the scenes more then us since this is about their current or future job.... that being said, I do kind of understand why they're being so secretive and shutting everyone out, and that's due to all the "leaks" that have been spread online. I understand the anger but I really wish some people would realize that discussing leaked bts lore stuff in ccs discord servers does not help the situation at all and instead makes it seem like they're only doing this to rile up the fandom against quackity studios by using the lore of people's fav characters.

At the end of the day, I think people just aren't used to dealing with a situation that does not have a clear cut solution and someone to clearly hate, so the result is this doomposting and the over aggressiveness toward anything related to the project. Personally, I haven't witnessed anything that made me lose faith in the qsmp like some people have been saying, as every change that we've seen so far coincides with what quackity said on stream a while ago. I only wish things were communicated properly to the admins clearly, as they're the ones most affected, so I hope that's resolved soon. Ultimately quackity is singlehandedly restructuring the server from basically zero, has had to fire people that were misusing money and power and, depending on what josè's document said, is probably gonna have to fire some more. This is not an easy process, nor a quick one, you're not gonna hear about sunshine and rainbows for a while and doomposting about everything you hear because you expected quick change is useless. Think before you speak, have a clear head and most importantly have empathy.

[qjaidenhere]

make sure to watch the quackity vod and not just read about it on social media! He specifically said that he would prefer if people watched the full stream and not just clip parts of him out of context (I’m not sure if what I’ve been doing counts? Tell me if so!) to get a full understanding of the situation and what he’s saying about it! It’s not a very long vod at all

Look QSMPblr I'll be honest. From now on I'm going to be employing the tactic of Shutting The Fuck Up About The Admin Stuff Unless I Have Something Incredibly Important To Say and maybe you should too, because whether you're moreso on the side of the union or moreso on the side of Quackity I can 100% promise you that your whining, catastrophising, and theorising as a random uninformed internet user is not constructive in the slightest, and only serves to exacerbate the massive issue that is the internet constantly feeling the need to weigh in on every tiny aspect of this mess.

I worry that I, in part, have been contributing to this problem, and a lot of you definitely have been too. As harsh as it sounds, this is not our problem, and our opinions, assumptions or interpretations do not matter more than what is actually happening here.
