Yes, another rant, this time on this 'Quibblo Posse' BS.
If you havent arleady read it and wondering what all the big deal has been about recently heres the link to the story:
http://www.quibblo.com/quiz/h1Ctw8i/Has-Anyone-Else-Noticed-This#comments
At least that is the one that i think everyone is talking about, i havent found another one.
This may get long and i may end up sounding biased to something that i am NOT biased toward but apparently i am.
Chapter 1
Well its BS obviously.
Here's what i commented on that story:
The OLD Quibblo worked that way, the new Quibblontakes suggestions from people and give it to the ones who deserve it. In the old Quibblo I was never featured member even though I had 800 friends and alot of people liked my stories and gave positive reviews. It was given to the same people all the time not neccesarily the users fault but it happened.
Now with the New Quibblo I was featured member becaus ei nominated myself and I guess they thought I was indeed worthy. No one who does not put th The work in becomes a feature member. No more favorites, no more bullying.
Quibblo is now an equal environment. Don't go starting rumors, people that deserve it are featured.
Oh and the fact that they were all in each others top friends is because in Quibblo communities are made: Harry potter fans, twita- hards, one directioners, and the rock lovers are all just a few.
Much of the time features members are Harry Potter fanfiction writers, they read each others stories alot of the time, And they become liked by fellow fanfiction writers. This is the reason they become featured because people LIKE them, and why they are on each others top friends.

So yeah thats what i commented with on that story.
First of all let me say that YES i have been featured member (incase you didnt read my comment), ONCE last month. And yes a few months back i wrote a rant about why I should be featured member because i did indeed deserve it. The rant was driven though, by the fact that a user who had around 27 friends, 40 quizzes taken and 17 created had become featured member. Now all that is just a guesstimation since i do not recall who the user was because i took down the rant.
Why?
Well because apparently thinking that i deserved something because i had very popular stories, interacted with fellow Quibblonians and had 300-ish friends is WRONG and that i was talking crap to the other girl. Not to her directly but to the whole system of Featured Member itself. It was NOT randomely chosen back then nor is it now, the same exact thing you see up for how to become Featured Member was up with the old Quibblo.
Anyway i gained 2 enemies off of that rant whom are the only users i have EVER delted from my friends list.
But why am i mentioning the fact that i made enemies? The same reason that i posted a comment to that story. Somebody started hating on my rant and so everyone did the same, somebody agreed with the Quibblo Posse idea and so EVERYONE thinks its the right thing. But the people who were for me they decided to tell me in a message not having enough balls to come out publicly saying they agree. Noone else commented badly on her 'Posse' idea except for me because i do think that she was totally WRONG.
The difference however is that people have been making stories AGAINST her which i am all for because it is the correct thing to be doing.
Okay well i just checked my created stories and i did NOT take down the story, as i recall, i REFUSED to take it down becasue people were acting like i was the bad guy, heres the link: http://www.quibblo.com/quiz/fyTw8Gw/My-Featured-Member-Rant?request_comment_page=1#comments
I read her story then i went down and saw the comments and was like 'mhmm mhmm oh you dont say?' In a sarcastic manner if you cannot tell.
Because of the fact that what she is saying in the story and in the comments is pure hypocrisy!
hy·poc·ri·sy/hiˈpäkrisē/
Noun:
The practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.
Yes i know how to use dictionary.com too.
Before i get on to why i think that let me say another thing that im not exactly sure what big word describes it. What she says is that she is looking down the list like 'yeah right!' then she says that they all hate her and are part of Quibblo's posse. Then she says that SHE doesnt want to be featured member but she wants one of her friends to be Featured Member.
Now onto the hypocrism, now this may just be me but eventhough she says that she doesnt want to be made Featured Member she makes it sound like she is hating on the ones who have been Featured Member because of the fact that a FEW of them MAY hate her and that she has spite because she WANTS to be Featured Member.
And about the Quibblo Posse. In the comments it is evident that she has her own 'Posse' going on and they want each other to become featured member, however they have not been good enough to become a featured member so they are hating on the ones who HAVE. Acting as if it was favoritism.
The reason she thinks it is favoritism is because back when IT WAS favoritism but according to her it was 'randomely selected', she became featured member. Because the rules have now changed and it is equal NOW she thinks its wrong.
I am not going to talk about the reality of the situation because i already did in my comment so if you havent already read it go ahead, skim up and read it.
You want to talk crap to the 'Quibblo Posse' AKA Featured Members who have deserved it, go ahead because the reason that we became that in the first place is because we know how to use our words. And these words can be used to defend ourselves too.

I think old quibblo was a bunch of lazy old people with nothing better to do xD
Do you not think that would hurt Quibblo's feelings? -_____-'
Oops-- NEW quibblo is awesome :)
Thank you!!! I totally agree!! Finally, someone who bothers to say something against that ridiculousness.
I've just been ignoring the whole thing. I was too busy to read her 3 page(?) rant but I have someone who was following it and telling me the gist of things. She thinks it's all a bunch of crap too and from what I've been hearing it sounds like it. I would say I agree but I can't, seeing as I haven't actually read it all for myself but from what you say and what my friend says it all matches up and most likely I'll agree. I'll get back to you on this after reading the whole thing...
i agree with you. i've never been featured and i've been here since 2009. the thing is, i dont write fan fic or about fads so i get forgotten. I try to make original stories with some quality in them.
@.@ My head hurts!!! I just read all of it and I have no idea about half of the things I just read. It jumped so much and just seemed so random. But I agree with you most definitely on the FM thing and this BS posse conspiracy theory. I'm still friends with her but I don't support her "rebellion?" or whatever she started/starting.
