My Favorite Banned Users: @Kachur

 

Somewhere in my post history exists a part one of this series, but since I'm lazy and didn't want to page through a bunch of posts I'll pretend this is a first. I know the previous article was about DougF and Diacope, but I have a new and exciting banned member for you today! I present to you: Kachur.

 

Kachur

The story of Kachur starts around the same time I initially joined the league. At the height of covid, we had a ton of active members and Kachur was one of those. However, as time went on he became known for being very active for a season, and then going IA immediately after. He may have even created more VHLM players than @dylanjj37 due to his inactivity. With most problematic members, there is always a file on them already. Kachur was a rare case in that he had never been banned before his "big" ban. His banning made a couple of members go permanently IA (well, they are still inactive to this day). Let's get into it. Like always Kachur had gone inactive for a few months. It may have been a year, I can't remember perfectly. In 2021, a couple of new members had made a big splash in the league. @Horvat98 and @Horcrux (for some reason the forum won't let me @ them). Horcrux identified as a lesbian woman named Erica. (Kachur was neither a woman, nor was he gay). Horcrux created an AMA type of thread when she first created. The thread is actually insightful and interesting. You can see @Gustav  be suspicious of how quickly they had caught on with sim leagues even though it was supposedly their first one. "Horcrux" quickly made friends with @Shindigs, @JardyB10, @BladeMaiden, @fishy, Diacope, and @samx. She also immediately became enemies with @Spartan . Over the course of the next few months, she would constantly be trying to get Spartan to break CoC and get him banned. If you want more information about that feel free to pester Spartan, I didn't want to bother him with an interview (he's a busy boi). As time went on Horcrux began exhibiting symptoms of mental instability. She would have random outbursts at people on Discord that commonly caused her to apologize on the forums. Finally, she blew up on the forums on a fantastic thread titled "Sorry Not Sorry". She attacked @Moon and @Spartan  in particular in this thread. Her final thread was titled "Positivity Corner" where she once again apologized for being so "divisive" and for spreading "chaos and disorder". She then blew up on Discord a few days later and on December 23rd, 2021 Horcrux, Horvat98 and Kachur were all banned for being multis. They had tricked dozens of users into believing all kinds of bullshit and it was truly a beautiful day. After the fallout occurred users @Shindigs and @BladeMaiden completely dropped off the face of the VHL forever. @v.2  had an interesting thought that Shindigs was very probably another alt of Kachur, but it was never proven. Users @JardyB10 and @fishy seemed to go relatively inactive after the events unfolded, but we do hear from them sometimes.

 

Remember kids, you'll eventually slip up using your VPN. You'll get caught, and we'll all laugh at you. 

 

My sources are all from Horcrux's posts themselves. I can post explicit links if anyone is interested, but I'm tired at the moment.

Ha, I wondered why there were reactions to a 3 year old thread.

 

Good times.

I don't remember this specifically, but that sounds about right. This was still back when I knew every single new member because I was scouting them. 

 

I'm not sure I was ever suspicious of anything, especially since I definitely had a positive impression of Horcrux at first. I felt that there were definitely times down the road where things got a bit more...confrontational, I guess? I distanced myself a bit at that point and I feel like that's part of why I was never directly caught up in everything that followed.

Suspicious may have been the wrong word, but it was so funny that you called it out in like her first forum post.

I just tracked this down. Apparently what I said was:

1. You seem to have caught on fairly quickly--have you been in any other sim leagues (or even this one way back before my time)?

 

...which is actually hilarious. I had no idea I called it that directly.

 

I'm going to take credit for that moving forward if you don't mind.

@twists Thanks for not outing my evil plan.

Maybe you are Kachur too and you knew it all along, plot thickens here.

For the record, I'm inactive because I'm old and lazy, and not in any way because Kachur bamboozled me.
