The Unbiased Report of the Shadow-Banning of TheBerryLegend

According to the rushed blog of TheBerryLegend, he and Quizzer were good friends on JetPunk. However, one day he noticed that Quizzer had taken some of his quiz ideas and copied them, with a few alterations. "He had a bunch of my quizzes just he changed the rules and stuff and I got mad at him".

Berry then moves on to report the quizzes, only to have Quizzer comment on his quizzes saying that it wasn't an intentional copy, he had no idea that Berry's quiz existed. So Berry checks the friend stats on his quiz, and finds that Quizzer indeed took the quiz. "I was him friend, so I looked at the Friend Stats, and it says he has".

He proceeds to command Quizzer to delete the quizzes, a failed attempt, and the angered Quizzer is blocked after spreading rumors. Berry's blog moves on to a confusing couple of sentences stating how they continued to lash out to each other to delete quizzes. Shortly after, Quizzer had emailed Quizmaster to ban Berry. And so that is where Berry is shadow-banned, and claims that QM says this: "The ban is permanent, sorry. This wasn't the first incident. You might be better served going to the other website[, Sporcle]."

The rest of the blog has little matter, and Berry fails to take an account on the "This wasn't the first incident". Whether this was strategical or forgotten, I am unsure. It certainly leaves a feeling of distrust.

According to the account of Quizzer218232 in a comment on this blog, Quizzer had created a "Fast Typing X" and a "Fast Typing Y" quiz. Because Berry had created the 'series' (in which Quizzer justifies as only A, B, C, and D), Berry tried to get him to delete it. Quizzer's response was to tell him to make X and Y and he wouldn't say it was a copy. "I said he can make Fast Typing X and Y and I wouldn't class it as copyright".

Then Quizzer's account strangely transitions to telling Berry to create a quiz about the quizzes he had made. Berry agreed, but made Fast Typing X and Y say (kinda copy), triggering Quizzer to make Berry delete it. Quizzer told Berry to just block him. Berry did, and more negative events came. "A week later, I blocked him and then he makes a quiz about me saying I hacked his account (which is a complete lie i swear I dont even know his password, he was lying)".

Finally, Quizzer just decided to email Quizmaster and that was when Berry got banned.

In another comment, Quizzer states that he never told rumors about Berry. There are certainly more holes in this account, although it was a comment not a blog. There are some huge variations between their reports.

However, it seems some things went unsaid. For example, Fast Typing X now says in a caveat, "Credit goes to The BerryLegend". It seems that by now, all Berry comments are deleted, so I can't exactly verify too much. I do know that Berry no longer has a quiz called "Quizzes Made by @Quizzer218232".

After much thought, here is my guessed account on what happened: It starts off with Quizzer creating a couple of alterations of Berry's quizzes. Angry, Berry tells him to delete them, a failed attempt. Now that they are both in a rage, Quizzer moves on to tell a couple of rude comments of his opinion on Berry's behavior, provoking Berry to block him. Most likely, the 'rumors' were opinionated comments.

They try to move on, and in once instance Quizzer requests for a quiz about himself to be made, in which Berry quietly attacks the ownership of the "Fast Typing" X and Y quizzes. Many state that these are of no real difference from each other, and Berry should not have gotten mad about that 'series'.

We enter a series of events with comments being spewed from both sides, and then something may or may not have happened. There is no way to verify that Berry called Quizzer a hacker, other than the ban itself. After Quizzer emails Quizmaster, Quizmaster surely investigates the situation before banning.

Berry refuses to believe it was his fault, and the same goes with Quizzer. In my personal opinion, the two faults of Quizzer were not deleting Fast Typing Y and Z, and asking Berry to make a quiz about his quizzes. Berry thinks he could get "unbanned", but here are two reasons why I believe otherwise:

1. If Quizmaster "unbanned" him, he would surely be forced to make much more exceptions in the future. It would lead to chaos.

2. Berry has not yet owned up to the mistakes he made, and is only focusing on that of the other person. This shows that the ban has taught no lesson yet, and to un-ban him would lead to the same exact thing.
