As the situation devolved, both DToast and another admin began handling the situation worse and worse.

Following the announcement, they made a feedback thread.

Feedback was overwhelmingly negative. Common criticisms were that the new rules were undefined, "politics" being so vague as to be impossible to ban, the politics ban adversely affecting LGBTQ+ posters, the breakup of extant social communities on other boards, and of course the slow-death-by-a-thousand-cuts for CE.

After 450 posts of everybody except STEROLIZER condemning the changes with no reply, the other admin ("Timmy" something) came back and said "we anticipated feedback to the change will be largely negative. However, we will not be revisiting the change."

They then opened a second feedback thread. When basically every post called them out for making a "feedback" thread that was confirmed by the admins to basically be a suggestion box connected to a paper shredder, DToast made a few flailing attempts to say he was taking notes to "reevaluate the situation in the future." He said that everyone accusing Fandom of not listening/caring were "bad faith posters."

Then Timmy-whoever came back and said they will absolutely not be reevaluating the situation in the future.

When accused of giving CE a death sentence, DToast said that CE will be fine because "68,000+ users can access it today." Everybody pointed and laughed at him.

When told CE was sentenced to a slow death just like LUE was, DToast said "no." No explanation, just "no."

When asked whether the site will ever see anything NEW added instead of just getting features cut and more ads thrown in, DToast said "it would be cool" (exact words) to get FAQ bounties of up to $300,000 (!!!). Everybody pointed and laughed at the absurdity of that non-promise.

400 posts into the second fake-feedback topic, after being HEAVILY pushed, both admins all-but-confirmed that CE was being punished for all the emails, doxxing, death threats, and nonsense that Tails and friends have been sending Fandom from the subreddit.

Seeing the writing on the walls, they apparently decided to NOT make a 3rd fake-feedback topic.

A day or two later, a thread cropped up on CE accusing Fandom of doing nothing but cutting/restricting features and putting in ads. DToast came in and promised he would DM the TC a document that day detailing some future plans for new features for the site. He then disappeared for days before sending a PM about one of their experiments that Fandom do. He blamed the delay on a vacation and a fried GPU.
The PM basically said that they tried to crosslink some popular guides with Fandoms wikis.
Why he couldnt just say it instead of sending a PM is because the topic had multiple bad faith users, he did however have nothing against TC sharing it.
And then he closed two topics talking about the announcement.

Topics are being hit for hornyposting all over the site, some for posting Nirvana lyrics, others for posting pictures of Zuckerberg.
