On May 23, ''Better Call Saul Presents: Slippin' Jimmy'' was released on AMC+.<ref>Roush, Matt (May 23, 2022). [https://www.tvinsider.com/1045418/prehistoric-planet-saul-ncis-neighborhood/ "Our Prehistoric Planet, 'Saul' Midseason finale and Animated 'Slippin' Jimmy,' 'NCIS' and More Season Finales".] ''TV Insider''</ref> The Breaking Bad community went wild. Having been released so close to the season 6 finale of ''Better Call Saul'', ''Slippin' Jimmy'' was seen as a personal insult by fans of ''Breaking Bad''; a clear cash-grab meant to capitalize on the success of its sister show. It was ''Family Guy'' for kids, with none other than Saul Goodman as its face. | On May 23, ''Better Call Saul Presents: Slippin' Jimmy'' was released on AMC+.<ref>Roush, Matt (May 23, 2022).

So thought the uneducated masses, unable to think critically about what they watch. But the show did not fly under '''69MoeLester420''''s radar, as the intellectuals of the server were able to see the genius of ''Slippin' Jimmy''. The intelligentsia of the server responsed with their own stunning commentary on the show: on June 4, Pickle Jimmy was released into the world. | So thought the uneducated masses, unable to think critically about what they watch.

On January 8, '''r/LesbianInsectBrothel''' was banned from Reddit.<ref>(January 8 2023).

Seeing such a huge subreddit being purged by Reddit, as a response to a situation no one could have predicted, made the moderators of other similar shitposting communities reconsider their approach to moderating, with new harsher, stricter methods being implemented all across the website. '''r/69MoeLester420''' was no exception. | On January 8, '''r/LesbianInsectBrothel''' was banned from Reddit.<ref>(January 8, 2023).

The '''Moederators''', in their eternal wisdom, already figured out a system that was about to be implemented which would be able to deal with the exact problem the shitposting community was facing. By setting up a moderation queue, every post made by a user not trusted by the mods would be automatically removed, only being shown to others if the mods deemed it worthy of seeing the front page. It was a glorious idea, one unthought of before, yet another proud creation of the server to be remembered forever, one for the ages. With the propaganda department hard at work, there was no possibility this could have been a failure, for months the mods have been preparing themselves for this. | The '''Moederators''', in their eternal wisdom, already figured out a system that was about to be implemented which would be able to deal with the exact problem the shitposting community was facing.

On February 13, as the encounter with the '''Cockroach''' started fading from the '''moederators'''' memories, an '''image''' got posted on the '''r/69MoeLester420''' subreddit. Not any ordinary image, as one may see from the fact that its very existence warranted an entire paragraph of text. '''The image''', featuring an uncensored, bloody penis cut in half in an incredibly unclean, gory fashion, got posted nineteen times. Nineteen. That is almost as much as 9+10. This would mark the '''First Impact''', otherwise known as the '''Penis Gore Incident'''. Such an event is especially terrible for a small subreddit, as was '''r/69MoeLester420''' at the time, not even having reached 5000 members, as such a high influx of gore content on a subreddit where the mods aren't terminally online might result in the entire subreddit being banned. The '''MoeLester Nation''' forever stays grateful to '''koonsbmw''' for being the first one on the ground and dealing with the situation in a quick and efficient fashion. Sadly, as one might expect, this was far from the only encounter with this user. | On February 13, as the encounter with the '''Cockroach''' started fading from the '''moederators'''' memories, an '''image''' got posted on the '''r/69MoeLester420''' subreddit.

Remember that lockdown idea the '''moederators''' had, way back before the partnership with '''r/IDONTGIVEASWAG''' and '''r/IkeaFreshBalls''' was signed? The idea was, instead of leaving the floodgates open, each post would have to be approved by the mods. Although the idea wasn't implemented before, this situation provided the perfect opportunity to test it out. As the code was already in place, all that was left to do is to announce it. By the end of the day, the temporary lockdown had gone into effect <ref> https://www.reddit.com/r/69Moelester420/comments/111jz94/attention_moe_lesters/ </ref>, intended to stop any raids in the following days, until another, more effective and less intrusive method of moderation was found. At the advice of '''Sam''', still a regular member at the time, a minimum karma limit was set up, filtering out any posts made by clearly new accounts. | Remember that lockdown idea the '''moederators''' had, way back before the partnership with '''r/IDONTGIVEASWAG''' and '''r/IkeaFreshBalls''' was signed?

The '''Cockroach''' was far from done. Unbeknownst to the '''moederators''' at the time, a vile scheme was being planned in the most twisted corners of the internet. A call to arms, intended to bring the Soy Army to the side of the '''Cockroach'''. Unfortunately for it, it would seem that not even the userbase of such depraved websites as soyjak.party would wish to associate itself with such an insult to what it means to be a human being. <ref> https://soyjak.party/raid/res/33873.html </ref> Yet even so, give up it would not. On February 16, just as the lockdown was lifted, and the new measures put into place, a post from one of the '''Cockroach''''s alts made its way into the subreddit's mod queue. It was clear right away that this was not the last we would see of it. Soon after, a GIF with the caption "LOL UKRAINE", showing the death of two soldiers in the midst of the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War, got posted, soon followed by a text post, written by a friend{{Citation needed}} of the '''Cockroach''', asking for its unbanning. Both posts were quickly removed. The '''Second Impact''', thankfully, proved to be much easier to bear through. | The '''Cockroach''' was far from done.

Even though the '''Cockroach''' tried to make itself look like a based and red-pilled troll with posts such as these, as one might expect, things could not be further from the truth. As a thread on the thugposting subreddit '''r/wordington'''<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230727185559/https://old.reddit.com/r/wordington/comments/1126ct7/deleted_by_user/</ref> shows, a mere day after the original incident, the user tried to explain away the situation by stating that its account was hacked by its friend {{Citation needed}}, sharing an insane story along with it. While this story cannot be neither verified nor proven false, the possibility still existing that the '''Cockroach''' was telling the truth, it is still important to keep in mind that this was far from the only incident involving this user. The threat to spam gore on the server was, by its own admission, sent by the '''Cockroach''' itself, and although it claims not to be responsible for the '''Penis Gore Incident''', as more raids occurred in the future, some involving sharing material worse than the one sent during the '''First Impact''', it shows that even if it was not the '''Cockroach''' who posted the images, it would still not be out of character for it to have gone through with it on its own. | Even though the '''Cockroach''' tried to make itself look like a based and red-pilled troll with posts such as these, as one might expect, things could not be further from the truth.
