Reddit’s moderation teams are so compromised. Hopefully Lemmy offers a space to discuss Skyrim modding without censorship. If you’ve experienced similar issues with LoreRim or Biggie, please share your story below.

Sharing the full post in case it gets removed (edit: it got removed):

My recent Reddit post exposing unethical practices by LoreRim’s curator, Biggie, was removed from both r/skyrim and r/skyrimmods by moderator Crystlazar under false pretenses. The post detailed was as follows:

-–

(Update: My original post was removed by r/skyrimmods mods for “inviting drama”, but this is about accountability, not gossip. Screenshots and evidence below.)

Let’s cut through the gaslighting. Biggie, curator of the LoreRim modlist, is charging $250 via Ko-fi for “commissions” to add mods to his list, yet delivering broken products and silencing any critics from his Discord. Worse, he’s scrubbing criticism from YouTube and Reddit.

The Undeath mod (+Classical Lichdom) was added as a $250 commission. According to the mod page, the “Necrotic Rejuvenation” healing feature is a core progression mechanic. But in LoreRim, it is bugged and does not work. There have been multiple complaints on his Discord server about this. When I questioned this, Biggie claimed it was intentionally “disabled” despite giving zero documentation.

Evidence:

• Screenshots of the Discord exchange (during a timeout period before I was banned).

• No mention of disabled Necrotic Rejuvenation being a “feature” on Classical Lichdom’s Nexus page.

All his sycophants say “Be grateful! It’s a free modlist!” But when you charge $250 per mod addition, you’re running a business, not a charity. Entire games cost a fraction of that price.

His Discord server and community have a playbook of:

1. Gaslighting: After I reported the bug, LoreRim’s team first claimed it wasn’t a bug, then called it a “known bug”, and then eventually “intentional” with no proof.

2. Deflection: Biggie ranted in Discord about all the other Reddit posts, YouTube comments and reviews, all about his behaviour, calling them out as jealous and misconceptions, framing them all as haters and it’s to be expected when you get as famous as he seems to think he is.

3. Censorship: I was banned within minutes of implying it’s more likely he doesn’t know how to fix the bug, and he instead ripped off the commissioner who spent $250 to get a working implementation of Undeath in his modlist. His cronies piled on, calling me ungrateful for… *checks notes*… right, expecting functional paid content.

Now onto the cover-up. My first post here was deleted for “drama”. He has some insider with the skyrimmods subreddit. His YouTube followers who previously had comments enabled have changed their commenting rules so that it has to be reviewed first before a comment becomes visible. It’s a pattern. Biggie’s team is scrubbing critical posts, YouTube comments, and Discord logs to hide his grift. If you’re on the LoreRim server, search my username while you still can (wouldn’t surprise me if they’ve doctored any related conversations since my last post).

TL;DR

• $250 commissions ≠ donations. Biggie is promoting paid modding with zero accountability.

• Criticism = ban. Biggie’s ego can’t handle basic questions.

• Check your receipts. Don’t commission. If you do, demand transparency.

Lorerim’s creator is exploiting goodwill, then weaponising his mod teams to bury complaints. Share your stories before they’re erased too.

(Update #2: This post was temporarily unavailable due to Biggie’s team mass reporting to get it taken down. They really don’t want this visible to the public, everyone. Please thank the moderators for restoring it.)

(Update #3: Would you believe he actually published a post on his Discord server singling out this very thread, rallying his entire community to brigade it in a blatant attempt to manipulate public perception?)

The same moderator who removed the original r/skyrimmods post also intervened in that post, fabricating reasons to delete that post immediately after he was called out here (which he has clearly tried to cover up since the interaction).

After appealing the removal of my post exposing LoreRim’s $250 botched commissions (which I’m pretty sure violates Wabbajack’s Terms of Service according to some commenters) and Biggie’s censorship tactics, the r/skyrim mod team doubled down on suppression. You can see their response to my request for reinstatement here. Both removals were orchestrated by Crystlazar, who dismissed evidence and defended Biggie with unverified claims. The r/skyrim mods falsely accused me of “slander” for simply questioning their impartiality.

I’ll reiterate again here what the key issues are that I’m trying to now bring to light for the entire community:

• Accountability & Transparency: Charging $250 for broken mod integrations is exploitation, not a “service”. Biggie’s team scrubs criticism from YouTube, Discord, and Reddit.

• Skyrim Moderators: Crystlazar’s biased enforcement suggests coordination with Biggie to silence critics.

Biggie actually replied to my last post calling me a “cry baby” (as he has many others) and my post a “piece of sh*t” for daring to stand up to him in this medium. Do with that as you will.
