The best of this spice:

TOBYHANNA − Goldberg told investigators he has many fetishes and had downloaded many different types of porn including images of nude children, Webbe said. He indicated downloading these images was an outlet for his urges and that he believed what he had downloaded isn’t illegal.

Amir0x hasn't been a moderator here for the better part of a decade and has not had any association with the site other than as a regular member here since then. Most of the current moderators were not even around yet when Amir0x got kicked out, and this was a very long time ago and his real name was not on file. He was originally released after an ethics incident where someone called him out for making some posts arguing about some video game (IIRC), he claimed he didn't, and then went back and deleted the posts in question to try to save face, but not before it was all seen and he was sacked. There have also been troubling circumstances since then, also many years ago now, where he posted a GoFundMe for his sick mother to be able to afford at-home dialysis, and then afterwards claimed publicly to be relieved to have a break from financial burdens related to taking care of her that allowed for him to go on some recreational drug binge with his personal salary instead. He was disgraced for that as well, admitted fault, and reaffirmed that the GoFundMe dialysis funds went directly to his mom and that he did not pocket any of it, just indirectly benefited, which was still absolutely not something to be bragging about, and he claimed to go into rehab afterwards to address his drug problems. The rehab stuff is the main reason he wasn't permanently banned at the time.

The mod team just informed me of the circumstances re: this thread earlier today linking him to an arrest for some heinous stuff; as per standard policy here, the mod team doesn't let unconfirmed allegations and doxxing run wild for an internet witch hunt, whether someone is a member here or not, so the thread got deleted pending further confirmation. Looks like it's been confirmed to be him, however. Again, no one on the moderation team even knew his real name, so it was not something that could be confirmed immediately. His account has been permanently banned in response, but it looks like that'll be the least of his concerns.

@Jebus213: the man is sick! How can you be claiming to be a Male Feminist, anti-gamergate, and then be a pedophile? He needs help but I hope he never goes near a child, ever!

Well ain't that something. The evidence is pretty staggering. And GAF users are not happy. Particularly the ones who remember this former mod. Who also had other scandals.

Seems like the community is mad that he got too many second chances. And the past mod team missed out on a red flag where this guy made a pedo post.

Well... Nobody chooses to be a pedophile. (And it doesn't mean he'd ever hurt a child.) I think/hope the pornography in question turns out to be drawn or photoshopped art...

But man I just read the story so far. This guy seems to know how to get into trouble >__>

Wow. Remember this guy well, he made some great posts. This is surprising. This guy apparently had child porn videos on his phone as well as images on his laptop of children as young as 4.

Rot in prison motherfucker. You're a dead man.

Although is always good to hear about pedos getting what they deserve, is not like random forum mods are celebrities or public servants.

Mann pedos these days are geting more and more violent.. i just hope this pedos will repent

Seen this on one of two forums. They will try to come across as enlightened objective individuals when really they are just covering each others asses with blatant favoritism.

Glad I don't bother with Neogaf, sounds horrible.

I just don't get how anyone could find a child sexually attractive. Hope the guy rots in prison.

@uninspiredcup: Pretty sure the owner Tyler is lying. How could he not know his real name, and not have it on file. When you need a professional school or work email, to get an account there.

He's more than likely covering his ass for sure. That is unless the rules were different when this Chris signed up for GAF.

@Storm_Marine: My thoughts as well. Who?

I never understood how some people enjoy child porn or having sex with children. Some people are so sick.

Lol neogaf and their weird standards of acceptable behaviour. Any political opinion to the right of Marx? Banned! Child porn hobby? Moderator!

They probably don't understand it either. Just have mis-wired brains. People don't like it phrased like this for some reason, but I seriously doubt anyone actually chooses to be attracted to children. It's going to be something they just got stuck with and can't help.

Rot in jail...if he survive that long.

I heard he also...

>_>

<_<

favored Bug-type Pokemon. Freakin weirdo.

Absolutely disgusting.

I don't get the obsession with neogaf. It's a shit place and everyone hates it, why can't we stop talking about it then?

Jeeze, I havent been on neogaf in so long

ok, wtf is neo...gaf? NEOGAF? NeoGAF?

@mrbojangles25: forum. A place that's extremely difficult to get approval to post on, and is filled with many people that work in the industry. Thomas Mahler, director of Ori, recently posted there asking for what everyone wanted to see in Will of the Wisps.

Stuff like that. Kind of an elite board, and the mods are very strict.

They had a popular member post a "hit list" of members who voted for Trump and that user still post (horrible) threads everyday. The mods aren't strict at all unless you go against the echo chamber and say something positive about Trump or Police.

I did find it funny when they banned that jrpg company(think xseed?) employee simply because he made a post not supporting feministfrequency's views. Not supporting Anita is the quickest way to get banned there.

Anyway about the topic.. just disgusting, prison will probably be absolute hell for hi,

A site where double standards (regarding racism and sexism) are rampant plus communism dictatorship apologism.

Well, it's not ALL that, and there's chill people there (better than System Wars and not as bad as Tumblr at least), but it does have its fair share of dogshit.

A male feminist... say no more.

Regardless of this story, neogaf is a really weird place
