It is with sadness and regret that I must announce I will be leaving the WBO. Recent events have made it clear to me that, whatever the original intention of the site to be, a fun place for Bladers to connect and share ideas and opinions is no longer what the WBO is. I have witnessed, for many months now, bullying and harassment of members with many of those members (whom I shall list by name should the committee allow it, though I doubt that) being able to break rules and act completely according to their own whims resulting in many new or unexperienced members feeling bullied and many of them deciding to leave because of it. This community is toxic, and it is toxic because of not only the members who choose to bully others but because of the committee who allow it to happen some of which have even taken part in the bullying themselves.
Many times, the committee say to us that this place is a forum for all who enjoy beyblade and we should be happy to post our thoughts and opinions but I have found the opposite to be true. Members being scared to post because they are being singled out by other "bully members" that will do anything to rip them to shreds, moderators admitting that they'd like to ban certain members purely for being friends with a member they don't agree with and a committee that doesn't care and will do anything to make excuses for said members. We have all seen instances of a certain member bullying and degrading others and that one member always gets away with it. I have also witnessed this one member looking up personal information on a member they didn’t like and encouraging a hate mob to do the same. Simply because they didn’t like them. That member got away with this behaviour and will probably continue to do so unfortunately, the committee was all too happy to make excuses for them.
There are moderators of this forum who will knowingly bend and break rules for certain people because they are their friends IRL. These people are the same people who will come down hard on anyone else who is to make the same mistake or break the same rule, should you not be their friend.
It’s not just me. Many other other members and I have noticed it for months now and discussed it at length before I decided to leave. Their quotes to me are as follows;
「This community was great before elitists got opportunities to become moderators and turned the greatness of this website to a secluded wasteland of advanced bullies who think they know every single caveat the beyblade world has to offer. It's also heartbreaking of how some of our best members became propaganda tyrants because of one persons decisions and words.」
「It's rather bizarre how we choose who is right and who is wrong. I'm aware that the
committee is the spot of protection and of course maintainece on the site. The illusion
that the committee is remotely concerned with any user is nothing more than a vision
of false hope. Seeing how they all act and how they will give a blind mans eye on any
if not every thing that goes on. They obviously play favoritism on a scale where if you
are less than 99% of their liking. Consider yourself an immediate target, not only that
but any post you make, any topic you're a part of consider it insignificant and not worth
their time.
You can post tests here as well, don't expect to hear any kind of possitive feed back
since those reading won't do tests themselves and will completely 'justify' why your
combinations aren't of value at all. With opinion instead of footage of them performing
their own tests as well.Since footage can be more accurate then statisitcs, you have to see
it to believe it. Here are constant cases of where there isn't actual positive feedback on
tests, unless you're of the positive few... Otherwise expect nothing but negativity.
The committee has been known for actually plotting and or convincing users to leave the
site completely and or having a 'justified' reason to get rid of them, upon reflection on
a number of these users. They all seem to source from off-forum. Where anyone who has
been part of a more managable forum community, are more than aware that off-forum
planning leaks into the community, these leaks not only makes certain members look black
and white. Not only questioning there morals and motives. That's terrible, however when
the committee is exposed to actually be part of these events and or are aware of these
events and act as if it doesn't matter. That's an exposure of a weak committee, since
not only are they to immature to take on a situation that they themselves are aware of
but they are also allowing those apart of these schemes get away with it completely.
Which means if you're off forum and plot against anyone, it's perfectly fine. Sometimes
even with the support of the committe. Which again, is perfectly fine. None of them
are willing to be a face of assistance. They may seem helpful but don't count your
luck, members have asked for reform as well as assistance but it is discovered that it
doesn't exist.
Why feel protected when those who are in the seat don't care? You want to know how the forum
is doing? We'll tell you but you're all expendable, you're all insignifcant. As painful
as that sounds it's true. If you have a talent and or money, consider yourself a 'temporary'
member. Either you donate your money or provide a certain language. Unless you're benefitting
the personal needs of the site. Then you're safe...
Spam and vague is bad yes... Though how do you put that on the same scale as hurassment,
cyber bullying,plotting, as well invasion of personal information? I would like to know
in which world where spam is the death penelty and those are the requirements of a hero?
This an example of a former and the currents, another is a positive speaker, though
exhausting against nearly the entire community...Why is the positive speaker the one
who felt the hand of isolation and comforted by another 'negative' while the other
is still again, free from condemning?
Some people can do slightly worse then others or in most cases do the same EXACT thing,
only difference is. One of them seen the belly of the committee and completely stood
against them which made them unliked by many, while the other was an appeaser and he
is again heavily unliked but the line is drawn but one thing, an agenda.
This is a beyblade forum, why is there censorships of usernames? Why is there a corrupt
source of power? Why is there isn't there a face of protection in the committee? All of these
questions aren't theoretical. These won't be answered and they will be heavily evaded.
Prepare to be used if there is something of 'value' on you, other wise. Prepare for the
ban hammer, we're all expendable for the wrong reasons here.
W.B.O stands for World Beyblade organization...W.o.r.l.d
The lack of that is astonishing,shouldn't it be about assisting and building up an active
communitity towards other places besides Canada and currently Japan...When U.S,U.K and
oh boy even india get's brought into the discussion, it seems to become critically
xenophobic, it isn't right and it heavily goes against the sites name in general.
The duty of the site is to bring the world in, we all seem to find a way to divide it into
sub-cultures and when the chance of an ACTUAL world event comes, the xenophobic syndome
is astonishing and it comes from the canadian atmoshphere. Upon research as well as a
unified member base has uncovered that the committee has done what ever they could to
prevent an actual world event purposely keeping the U.S and U.K WBO members at a distance.
Not only enforcing the bigger perspective of the level of activity on both areas but it
also builds up that the committee has the final say, they feed you empty words before they
give you concern.
While on the topic of world, some users...Sometimes in a green name or not, have gotten away
with racial slurs and or offensive discussions. While not only this but the illusion of
cultural differences has been rather touchy, touchy since this is a big community with
people of different cultures, there is a grand level of disrespect and 9/10 it's the
pro-committee members who actually get away with this, there is no attempt at subtly or
even apologies made. Why is that? Guess it's fine since it's been going on for a while
guess international sensitivity is fine.」
Please note that these claims are not mine, they are quotes from people I have discussed this issue in length with and have used their opinions as a reference .
Whilst some (well, most) will attack the legitimacy of these claims I can 100% say with certainty that I have seen this up close and personal. We not only have evidence of said bullying but we have evidence too of the moderators indifference to it all and one of the mods wanting to get involved in it themselves. An organisation run primarily by its fans and supporters as the WBO mainly is will only ever be as good as it’s members. With the most active and highest socially ranked members being nothing but bullies and elitists there is nowhere for the organisation to go but downwards. I know full well that this post will be deleted in haste and / or get me into a huge amount of trouble but the only reason for that is because it speaks the truth no one is allowed to acknowledge. I will still be around to answer PMs and to keep an eye on the Japanese forum because that is a project I think could go somewhere good. But with the WBO as it stands I won’t be associated with it and know I’m not the last person that will end up doing this.

. Still pretty sick but I really wanted to check my favorite websites out. I'm not well yet, but hopefully I'll be better in the next couple of weeks.
is useless after not testing it, huh?) Brad, st first you were a great guy, but come on... Don't do this to us...
