===The Gladiux Saga: Part Three===

Except it doesn't. To call the '''69SwagBalls420''' merge anything else other than chaotic would simply be to lie. The reason could be traced back to a single individual, one who had promised just a week earlier to stop this kind of behavior, a powermod like no other, '''Gladiux'''. As the old '''69MoeLester420''' server was a mostly isolated community that could barely reach 50 members, at least partially because the new users were relentlessly bullied and told to kill themselves <ref>This is only a slight exaggeration, as most regular members never engaged in any conversation whatsoever, those who did instantly regretted ever joining this shithole of a server.</ref>, the '''Moederators''' never could have anticipated the effect dumping this barrel of toxic waste chemicals would have when combined with the much larger '''SwagBalls''' server, which numbered around 450 members at the time. The reaction was explosive.

With '''SwagBalls''' being a relatively chill server at the time, it wasn't surprising that the regular users would be put off by a completely new team of moderators, most of whom spent no time on the server prior to gaining admin permissions, calling everyone and everything unfunny from the moment they joined. This was the first red flag of many more to come, but simply being an asshole on the internet was not reason enough to permanently ban someone. Although such behavior did antagonize the users of '''69SwagBalls420''' against the newly-arrived '''Moederators''', this was only a signifier of the things to come.

Perhaps it all would have been fine were '''Gladiux''' not to have made the discovery that '''Sam''' was a part of the server as well. As he was the one who called for his ban so many times in the past, finally succeeding just days before the merge, he quickly notified the other mods in #admin-family-guy-roleplay about '''Sam''''s presence. Nothing was done about it, as the consensus among the mod team was that there was no reason to do anything unless an incident arose. '''Gladiux''' seemed to agree, and everything went on as usual.

It was not long after that a second red flag was quickly spotted, as '''Gladiux''' decided to participate in the '''Question of the Day''' by asking the server "when you suck dick do you grip the shaft or just go down on it with ya mouth". People were not amused, the moderators especially so, considering that the man who continually called out people like '''Sam''' or '''Kae''' for inappropriate behavior in the past would go on to post such a question on a server filled with minors. He was quickly called out and soon deleted the question. Once again, this was not something ban-worthy, a shitty joke like that shouldn't get anyone banned right away, yet these small incidents kept piling on, and the moment when it was all going to collapse was nearing ever closer.

[[File:PostMergeLore4.png|thumb|302x302px|It wasn't long before the question was called out by the other mods.]]

Even though this situation was cleared and '''Sam''''s status in the server was thought to be a done deal, it was far from over. '''Gladiux''', expectedly, did not stop acting like a dick just because the others nicely told him to. The occasional insults towards others morphed into more and more aggressive actions, and soon enough the powermodding he was known for was back on the menu. He got called out for it once again, and contempt towards him was rising. It was a powder keg ready to burst, and it would all finally explode on April 1, only two days after the servers were merged. And of all the straws that could have broken this camel's back, a seemingly inconsequential discussion about country music was the one that did it.

It started off innocent enough, a user sharing a "cold take", one that would ironically break the server apart, about how they were willing to listen to all genres of music apart from country and rap, which was just not their thing. '''Gladiux''' would go on to concur with the statement about country music, stating that it is the only genre along with metal he did not like. '''Mr. Sex''' would go on to interject and state that metal and country "slap", proposing that the only reason the hatred towards them was so widespread is that they are commonly thought of as "poor people music". An argument soon started among the people of the server, most of whom disagreed on why these types of music were so hated, by all accounts an average Discord conversation, were it not for the conversation's climax, as '''Gladiux''' decided to end it all by calling '''Mr. Sex''' retarded. It was at that moment when all hell broke loose.

The mods had enough of '''Gladiux''' at this point, in the two days since the merge all he did was act like a complete and utter cunt, and if he was ready to act this way over something as insignificant as an argument on Discord, insulting people he knew for months like that, it was clear he had no place in the server. #main-chat devolved into utter chaos as the people of the server soon started calling him out for using slurs, and his past actions soon came into the spotlight, with '''Sam''' highlighting that '''Gladiux''' had acted this way long before he joined this server, with his behavior on '''69MoeLester420''' soon coming into the center of attention. '''Gladiux''' decided to handle the situation like an adult, timing out '''Sam''' for criticizing him. All the other mods were starting to turn against him, and as #main-chat was still engulfed in chaos, the conversation soon shifted to #admin-family-guy-roleplay, where a proper insult match between the members of the mod team soon started.

With only '''Gio''' stepping into '''Gladiux''''s defence, the other mods were less keen to support '''Gladiux''''s obviously hypocritical way of behaving, on the one hand presenting himself as a paragon of virtue while still participating in all those activities he so liked to criticize. A power mod to his core, an asshole like no other, everyone was sick of him, and '''Mr. Sex''' and '''Walter''' made sure to express those feelings directly to him, something that should have been done many months ago. A year of pent-up anger was finally released, and '''Gladiux''' left the server, never to show his face again. He was promptly banned from both the server and the subreddit, finally bringing this saga to an end. The members of '''69SwagBalls420''' soon found out what happened, and a collective sigh of relief echoed through the server. '''Gladiux''' was gone, and the world was at peace again.
