Ant, I appreciate your response, but I want to address a serious issue here, as what’s being said by your team goes beyond a simple misunderstanding.
Firstly, let’s define "defamation": it is the act of damaging someone’s reputation by making false statements. This is exactly what is happening to me, and I have proof to back it up.
On **March 8, 2024**, I raised the bug directly in Monria chat to **DME**, asking how a fair competition would be ensured during the St. Patrick’s Day event. The bug is very relevant, especially since the winner got a reward worth **$400**. I not only reported the issue but also extensively explained how the bug works.
This isn’t the first time I've brought this up either. I originally reported the bug to Mindark a year ago, with follow-up reports providing additional details. Yet when I first mentioned the bug towards the new Finders to DME, I was immediately insulted, accused of not being able to read, without any effort on their part to investigate my claims.
When summarizing DME’s original response as “f*** off,” I was being charitable in my opinion—his actual reply was, dismissing the issue and telling me to handle it myself. Since then, DME continues to insist that the finder works as intended with **9/9 drops**, and I’ve been muted in the Monria chat for questioning his claims. I was muted for asking whether someone had been scammed into buying the finder, using a provocative but completely accurate definition of "scam": a dishonest plan that tricks people into making a purchase based on false information.
DME has publicly accused me of “trolling” multiple times, using his position of authority to cut off my ability to defend myself. This is exactly what defamation looks like. He relies on his status as a community manager to cast me in a negative light, making others believe I’m acting in bad faith, while the actual issue with the finder persists.
The bug is simple to observe: on finders capable of 9/9 drops, there's a 1.3-second window between cooldown and the ability to make the next drop. I even shared a workaround for the bug, which further proves that this isn’t made up. Why would I go through the trouble of identifying a bug, detailing its effects, and offering a solution, if it didn’t exist? I was the only person with access to a 9/9 finder at the time.
What’s happening here is an attempt to silence me while damaging my reputation by spreading false narratives. That, by definition, is defamation.
