Introduction
Anthony Gordon Brodie (Soul) built his name in the DayZ console scene by making tools that let server owners run communities at scale without needing a developer on call. His primary creations include DayZ Multi Tool (a widely-used Discord bot) and later Legion Killfeed (a subscription-based killfeed service for DayZ console servers).
The Original Name Story: Legion's first version, created on 25 October 2020, was originally intended to be named "The Soul" - "Because it'd be the soul of every DayZ discord" was Brodie's exact explanation when asked about the name in 2021. From day one, the development philosophy prioritised security (Nitrado API tokens isolated to prevent abuse), transparency (every system action logged), and reliability (consistent updates and support).
That work put him in the middle of a niche but intensely competitive market where small groups often tried to win customers by discrediting rivals. Long before the campaign later aimed at Brodie personally, the killfeed scene already had a visible pattern: developers accusing each other of theft, baiting server owners into drama, and using Discord as the main battleground.
This document chronicles a sustained harassment campaign that escalated from business disputes into doxxing, death threats, suicide encouragement, weaponisation of children's images, and coordinated defamation across multiple platforms.
Evidence Base: This timeline is supported by 2,305 evidence files (2.41GB archive) including Discord messages, emails, platform correspondence, screenshots, and archived web content.

Part One: The Early Years (2020-2021)
2020: A Market Built on Intimidation
In February 2020, the pattern of competitive harassment was already clear in private messages circulating among server owners.
On 7 February 2020, one server owner described being contacted by Ronald Lund (Jarvis), who presented a killfeed as something that required a paid monthly arrangement, only for the owner to conclude it was a scam and thank Jeabers Killfeed for warning people.
By 24 June 2020, Jeabers Killfeed was messaging its own users directly about Jarvis, telling them that if Jarvis contacted them to remove Jeabers, he was "scamming you" and had "nothing to do with this bot."
For Brodie, those early warnings mattered because they showed a market where persuasion and intimidation were already being used as business tactics, and where public trust could be attacked as easily as the software itself.
2021: Rising Visibility
By 2021, Brodie had built DayZ Multi Tool into a widely used Discord bot, and his Aggro PVP community (which he had been running since 2018) had become a central hub for console DayZ players. That visibility made him harder to ignore and easier to target.
August 2021: The "Masterpiece" Handoff
In late 2021, when Brodie stepped back from a development role for one community, he did not vanish quietly, on 26 August 2021, Brodie demonstrated the ethical conduct that would later be weaponised against him. After working as a developer for the Accolade PVP servers, Brodie decided to step down. Rather than abandon the project, he personally arranged for GBSHOTSx3, a top community coder, to take over his duties.
In Discord messages, Brodie explained his requirements:
"Their list is so specific cause that is one of my coding requirements, exact and precise to guarantee the best work... Here's Accolade's files if you want to take a look at what you could end up working with, that server is one of my masterpiece, I'm sad to pass it on but I can't keep up with the work with these two jobs."
Critical Context: Brodie treated the codebase as his "masterpiece" and went above and beyond to ensure proper handoff. This good-faith transition demonstrates he had no malicious intent toward the server - a fact that becomes crucial when examining later false accusations.
October 2021: Direct Threats Begin
The hostility sharpened in October 2021.
On 10 October 2021, Jarvis began attacking DayZ Multi Tool publicly, including claiming ownership of Brodie's work and accusing others of copying.
The next day, 11 October 2021, the tone shifted from petty claims to direct intimidation. A set of messages, logged as being purged by an automoderation bot, included lines aimed at Brodie such as:
- "Play games you get burnt"
- "We coming for you boy"
That same day, Brodie submitted a report to Discord identifying Jarvis's server and describing a broader pattern: admitted code theft claims, fake images used to discredit competitors, and Discord being used to take money from server owners under false pretenses.
October 12, 2021: Community Response
DayZ++ developers (Jon J/Hoks) became involved, planning to release free alternatives to counter Jarvis's fraudulent business:
Jon J: "Hey, DayzKillfeed is accusing me and my feed of hacking him as well. Because I made a website exposing him... DayZKillfeed.NET: Statement regarding Jarvis/DayZKillfeed.COM, and soon to be free Killfeed... And mass emailed it to all his clients."
Jon J: "His server costs will be more than he's making when I'm finished with him. His entire bot is about to become free on GitHub."
Significance: This October 10-12 sequence established the template for future harassment campaigns - when exposed for misconduct, perpetrators escalate to direct threats rather than address their behavior.
December 2021: The Vigilante Resolution
A third-party group of vigilante coders known as DayZ++ took matters into their own hands. Using OAuth abuse techniques, they gained unauthorized access to Jarvis's private Discord server and obtained video proof that Jarvis had cloned Brodie's DayZ Multi Tool code.
On 10 December 2021, DayZ++ staff recorded themselves using an OAuth invite flow to get into DayZKillfeed.com's Discord without being invited, framing it as "getting the evidence we wanted."
Caught red-handed with undeniable evidence, Jarvis agreed to a truce: he would cease attacks if Brodie removed his expose website. Brodie complied, wanting peace. However, Jarvis didn't truly stop - he simply went quiet.
December 2021: FTP Accusations & Exoneration
Around the same time, another incident became important for later context. Accolade PVP (a server Brodie had previously managed) had critical files deleted via FTP. Immediate suspicion fell on Mathew Trojanowski due to his access and alignment with Azzy (a former Accolade staff member).
Critical Exoneration: The server owners (GreedyPeasant and PissedOffTexan) publicly stated Brodie had protected their project and arranged proper handoff - he would have no reason to harm it.
TheGreedyPeasant explicitly told Brodie: "Never said ya did" when Brodie was accused of hacking past 2FA.
This context becomes crucial when Trojanowski later attempts to rewrite history and blame Brodie for the very FTP sabotage Trojanowski was accused of.
Part Two: 2022 - Burnout, New Alliances, and the First Doxxing
April 2022: The Pedophile Smear Tactic Emerges
Private conversations from April 2022 show Brodie discussing Mathew Trojanowski as someone he believed could stir up trouble while staying just inside the lines of what platforms would act on.
In those same discussions, there were already mentions of pedophile smears being thrown at people as a weapon in community disputes. That was not yet the sustained campaign it later became against Brodie, but it showed that the tactic existed and was circulating among the same overlapping groups.
Critical Context: This establishes that the "pedo" accusation was a known weaponized tactic in this community before it was ever aimed at Brodie - not a genuine concern, but a calculated smear strategy.
April 2022: Jeabers Stats Crisis
On 5 April 2022, Brodie discovered stat manipulation affecting Jeabers Killfeed's global leaderboards. Cheaters were exploiting the system to claim #1 positions overnight with impossible stats (1000m shotgun kills).
Brodie publicly demanded fairness for all players:
"@Jeaber I ask again how is this dude always on top with one weapons damage that isn't a real weapon?... Going through his stats he has 1000m shot on nearly every weapon and some like a BK133 SHOTGUN with 1000m kill. Something dodgy is going on."
Jeaber's dismissive response: "I don't care nothing I can do about it... the only stats and leaderboards you should care about are the ones on the server you manage."
Brodie's character-defining response:
"As a server owner with 3x servers in the Top 15 servers for kills on your leaderboard, I will of course be questioning the integrity of your killfeed when a cheat can be #1 overnight... Some customer service/satisfaction you offer."
This incident demonstrated Brodie's consistent pattern: advocating for fair play and integrity even when it meant challenging powerful figures in the community.
June 2022: Crix's Documented Hypocrisy
On 1 June 2022, Edward "Crix" Griggs Jr. was caught displaying stunning hypocrisy. In private messages to a former friend (Famin), Crix acknowledged how traumatizing doxxing and family harassment can be:
"That's just so much trauma that I would not want to put through our daughters heads dude."
Yet this empathy was two-faced. Within a year, Crix would be actively sharing photos of Brodie's children in harassment campaigns, demonstrating he understood the harm yet chose to inflict it anyway.
July 2022: Tbag Blames Trojanowski's "TC" Brand for FTP Sabotage
On 15 July 2022, Tbag (DayZ Madness server owner) refused to help Kamikaze with a mod request, explicitly blaming Trojanowski's "The Collective" (TC) brand for destroying his server files:
"I will not help because Azzy destroyed all my work and Greedy's server out of spite under the TC name."
When Kami claimed he "had nothing to do with it," Tbag elaborated that deleted files were marked with "TC" - Trojanowski's brand. This contemporaneous accusation establishes that FTP sabotage was associated with Trojanowski's circle before he ever blamed Brodie.
August 2022: Aggro PVP Reaches Global Ranking
By 1 August 2022, Brodie's Aggro PVP servers had reached the top ranks on Jeabers Killfeed's global leaderboard, tracking 2,020,719 players across 8,276 servers:
- Aggro PVP NWAF: 3rd place globally with 821,096 total kills and 58,034 players
By 17 October 2022, Aggro PVP NWAF had climbed to #1 globally with over 1,075,506 kills.
Brodie recalls posting a screenshot of this achievement in BigFatMods Discord with the "I'm the captain now" gif. This is what seeded Edward "Crix" Griggs Jr's resentment - BigFatMods sat at #4 on the same leaderboard. The competitive jealousy that would later fuel Crix's harassment campaign began here.
August 2022: Trojanowski Blames Azzy for FTP Attacks
On 29 August 2022, Mathew Trojanowski sent unhinged messages to former associates, explicitly blaming his ex-partner "Azzy" for the FTP file deletions he would later attribute to Brodie:
"You know I never deleted a single file. If she didn't block me maybe she could have gotten the email I got about data loss on the LA network that caused the files to delete."
"You can say you have witnessed it but just so you know she slandered me deleted the files to make her look like she didn't do anything. Did you know she did the same thing to greedy and then denied it? I bet you didn't."
In the same message chain, Trojanowski made disturbing admissions:
"You do realize I already have all your files for the new Server's on the new Nitrado correct. Funny how a multi billion dollar company can miss such an old school exploit."
"I've attempted to kill myself 8 times in the last week and I have no motivation anymore."
Critical Timeline: In August 2022, Trojanowski blamed "Azzy" for FTP sabotage. One month later, in September 2022, he fabricated a screenshot to blame Brodie instead. The target changed; the accusation stayed the same.
September 2022: StockyAcrobat's Warning
On 9 September 2022, a user named StockyAcrobat sent Brodie a direct warning about Mathew Trojanowski's harassment patterns affecting other servers. The warning described Kamikaze copying Discord profiles and spamming fake links to discredit competing server communities:
"Soul I just wanted to let you know if a link to our discord channel starts spamming your channel its not us here at Skulls'N'Roses. Kami the Owner of the Collective is making up fake discords that look like our profiles and spamming other discords to try and Discredit the Skulls'N'Roses server."
"This guy is meant to be a name in the dayz community and if you are rubbing shoulders with him I suggest you distance yourself from this low life now."
Brodie, having experienced misinformation from multiple directions, chose not to act on the warning - a decision he later regretted.
October 2022: Breaking Point
By October 2022, Brodie's Aggro PVP work reached a breaking point.
In Aggro PVP Discord messages dated 19 October 2022, Brodie announced he was done, saying Aggro PVP was "officially over" and that he could not keep grinding through thousands of line-by-line changes.
Context on Brodie's situation at this time:
- He had recently quit drinking after 8 years of daily alcohol abuse
- He was working two jobs - over 42 hours a week
- He was simultaneously modifying DayZ servers, providing support for other server owners, maintaining his DayZ Multi Tool Discord bot, and moderating several Discord servers
After that step-down, Trojanowski offered to cover Aggro PVP's operating costs and handle the full map server. Brodie stayed on as administrator and continued running the deathmatch infrastructure. Trojanowski also told Brodie he would give Aggro back if Brodie asked for it.
November 2022: The First Doxxing
On 23 November 2022, Mason Lewis Stockton (Links, Havasu) doxxed Brodie by leaking footage that revealed Brodie's home address.
Soul: Hey gorgeous - What the fuck is Link's deal? Brumzy: I dont know who links is tbh I know all the other cunts not him unless its an alt of someone's Soul: Idk who it is but they have been in a party with me... he's good mates with Sife... Brumzy: Either drift balls or coastal then I would say one of the later two would be my guess probably balls... Soul: In the email there was like 93 discord links to the messages that were about me, every single account that had talked shit about me, Aggro PVP, anything at all related to them breaching discord ToS, 118 screenshots, it was a lot lol Brumzy: are they looking into it then I take it, Cause thats alot of evidence
That same day, after Mason had already been block-evading and escalating into doxxing behaviour, Brodie filed a Trust and Safety report with Discord. This was the rare exception where Discord enforcement meaningfully landed.
Critically, Discord's Trust and Safety team thanked Brodie for providing screenshots and user IDs and explicitly encouraged that evidence format. The report was submitted via email with attached documentation - and it worked.
Someone in the community announced that Soul's report had resulted in Links' account being disabled and that every account associated with Mason's IP address had been disabled as well.
In the middle of years of reports, evasion, and recycled harassment, this IP-linked disablement stood out as the only clear example of Discord taking the problem seriously enough to cut off the churn of new accounts - at least temporarily.
26 November 2022: Code Scraping Behaviour
On 26 November 2022, Trojanowski casually admitted to scraping code from another developer's GitHub repository.
When Brodie noticed the killfeed code looked familiar and asked if it was from Vic's GitHub, Trojanowski's response was matter-of-fact:
"Maybe. it's okay though... I might have scraped it from github." - Kamikaze
This established early in their partnership that Trojanowski treated other developers' code as resources to take without attribution - a pattern that would continue when he later stole Brodie's own code.
Late November 2022: Trojanowski's Methods Exposed
On 27 November 2022, Trojanowski openly described:
- Piecing together a Discord bot from scraped GitHub code
- Using automation to generate negative reviews
This established a documented example of Trojanowski treating other people's code and other people's reputations as raw material to be assembled into something useful for him.
End of 2022: A Dangerous Position
By the end of 2022, Brodie was positioned in a dangerous overlap:
- He had a successful public identity tied to multiple projects
- The competitor scene was already comfortable with scams and intimidation
- His new "helper" in Trojanowski had documented comfort with scraping code and manipulating reputations
The following year would turn that overlap into a sustained campaign.
Part Three: 2023 - The SkyNet Split and Retaliation Begins
January-February 2023: New Project Begins
In late January/early February 2023, Jeabers Killfeed closed down mysteriously with no word from the developer.
This was notable because Jeabers Killfeed was the only console killfeed bot that had a global leaderboard. Brodie's servers were in the top 10 servers for kills and players, with one server being #1 with over 2 million kills and over 100,000 unique players.
This is when Brodie decided to create a new global killfeed: SkyNet Killfeed.
The collaboration began with Anthony Gordon Brodie (Soul), Mathew Trojanowski (Kami, Kamikaze420, Skynet), and Cody (Stojo25, SaltySilver). The roles were never formally defined but they were discussed - Brodie recalls that Cody avoided the discussion while Trojanowski said talking about money felt "icky."
Trojanowski tried to position himself as the operator and front-facing owner figure, but to anyone who was using the bot or in the bot's Discord, Brodie was the person people leaned on when things needed to be built, fixed, or explained.
Over the next few months, the same contradiction kept repeating. Trojanowski publicly spoke like the technical lead, but privately he kept asking Brodie for help with basic configuration and bot maintenance. That gap became more than an ego problem - it became a money and ownership problem, because the more SkyNet looked like a product, the more Trojanowski treated ownership as a given, even while relying on Brodie to keep it alive.
Context preserved from early 2023: Alongside the technical build, Brodie also preserved screenshots from adjacent competitor/community spaces that he says show early signals of the later pattern: status games, narrative positioning, and hostility that existed in parallel to the "partnership" story. These items are included here as context (not as a substitute for the later, dated platform reports and takedown attempts):
- 2023-02-06 screenshot compilation (labelled: "malicious intent masked as friendliness")
- 2023-02-11 image ("Jarvis - Community Opinion")
- 2023-02-11 taunt screenshot (Jeabers/competitor context)
- 2023-02-11 image (labelled: "Joel Walker's Obsession for Soul")
- 2023-03-26 screenshot ("passes drug tests")
- 2023-05-20 screenshot ("plans to rip off / copy another bot")
- 2023-06-09 screenshot ("username change could likely snag dayzkillfeedcom")
February 2023: Joel Walker's Early Obsession
On 18 February 2023, Joel Walker (Jack Jackalope) initiated hostile contact with Brodie over competitive rankings. Walker's servers appeared on the same leaderboard page as Aggro PVP, which triggered confrontational messages:
Jack Jackalope: "Alright then idk why I'm on the first page with you on the leaderboard with both my servers"
Jack Jackalope: "im just gonna block the drunk blabbering"
Soul: "Aggro PVP, proof that coding is so easy, a drunk can do it."
This exchange documents Walker's resentment toward Brodie began as simple competitive jealousy over rankings - the same motivation that would later fuel sustained harassment including false pedophile accusations in October 2025.
February 2023: Trojanowski's Discharge Plot
On 26 February 2023, Mathew Trojanowski showed Brodie a disturbing example of his approach to conflict resolution. Someone had sent Trojanowski threatening messages with photos of weapons and a sign reading "Kami is a cum guzzler."
Trojanowski's response wasn't to report it to authorities - it was to plot retaliation using the sender's visible military uniform:
Kamikaze: "Guy sent me hate mail and threats. Guess who's just gonna spread this along social media. Shouldn't post your uniform with name and dog tags. The military won't take this well. Fastest way to get dishonorably discharged."
This revealed Trojanowski's willingness to pursue real-world consequences for online disputes - the same approach he would later use to target Brodie's family, employment, and reputation.
April 2023: The Wedding Test
On 9 April 2023, Brodie flew interstate to attend his brother's wedding. During his absence, the bot constantly crashed. Trojanowski and Cody (SaltySilver) - who had full access as staff - couldn't keep it online.
Brodie returned and immediately had the bot working again.
This incident demonstrated that Brodie was the indispensable technical force, not an equal partner but the actual owner and developer.
20 May 2023: Pattern of Copying
On 20 May 2023, Trojanowski revealed his approach to developing features wasn't to build from scratch, but to identify existing tools and copy them.
Discussing another developer's bot, Trojanowski outlined how to replicate it:
"He's got a cool bot not gonna lie... We definitely could make these this. With this bot. It's in JS so he's gonna run into a size limit with Python we don't have that issue." - Kamikaze
When Brodie noted he'd never heard of the developer despite four years in the scene, Trojanowski dismissed this - already planning the copy.
This wasn't an isolated incident. Combined with the November 2022 admission of scraping Vic's GitHub, it established a pattern: Trojanowski's "development" meant identifying what others built and reproducing it.
12 June 2023: Warning Signs
On 12 June 2023, just days before the SkyNet split, Mathew Trojanowski shared password-cracking resources in Discord and talked openly about using them to recover a Windows password - showing comfort with the idea of breaking into locked access, right as trust was collapsing.
June 2023: The Breaking Point
By June 2023, the disagreement turned into a direct confrontation about contribution and control.
On 23 June 2023, an independent third party with 9+ years of bot development experience reviewed the contribution history and confirmed: 70.9% of the overall work was done by Brodie, with Trojanowski and Cody (SaltySilver) contributing minimally.
Brodie pushed for a simple standard: equal ownership only made sense if the work was equal. When Trojanowski refused both a formal partnership structure and a consultant-style arrangement, the relationship snapped.
24 June 2023: The Split
On 24 June 2023, Brodie:
- Pulled his source code and databases out of shared access
- Announced he would continue independently
- Wiped shared resources afterward
- Moved forward under the Legion Killfeed name
Less than a minute after Brodie left the Aggro PVP Discord:
- His independence announcement was deleted (35.8 seconds later)
- People were talking in voice chat about backups of his code
Jacob "RB SKIZZA" Stoppard overheard Cody and Trojanowski discussing "their back-up of Soul's code" in a voice channel.
Late June 2023: Evidence Preservation
On 26 June 2023, two things happened:
First, Trojanowski announced Skynet Killfeed was "back by popular demand" and claimed the code had been "completely rewritten" - an astonishing turnaround for someone who couldn't spawn the right item in-game without help.
Second, Brodie documented discovering that Trojanowski had been running Brodie's files through ChatGPT. A captured prompt showed Trojanowski's email visible as he asked the AI to generate a copyright notice for a "Discord bot called Skynet Killfeed using the Nitrado API."
Brodie's reaction was blunt:
"The guy who can't spawn the right item in game rebuilt a bot overnight... ChatGPT with my code isn't rewriting it... Even using my server's logfiles. 100% my code still."
July 2023: Customer Sabotage
On 5 July 2023, brumzzzzzy contacted Brodie in distress after discovering Mason Stockton (Links) had followed him to a PC server and obtained a trial admin position:
"He's on PC now and trial admin on server we playing like a fuckin stalker and he's got his cheating little twat mates on trolling the server."
Brodie intervened directly, presenting evidence of Links' history - including the November 2022 IP ban documentation - to the server admin.
12 July 2023: Contacting Customers with Lies
On 12 July 2023, Trojanowski began directly messaging Brodie's customers - including Lykos - trying to manipulate the narrative.
In DMs to Lykos, Trojanowski claimed:
"Soul fabricated all of this... lied, stole what I have... I've been getting death threats over this... He made a fake account to list my phone and personal info as Blackmail." - Kamikaze
The supposed "blackmail" evidence Trojanowski attached actually showed the opposite - Brodie confronting Trojanowski about stealing code:
"Stop the lies Kami, delete my goddamn code and write something yourself without stealing from everyone else... 33 channels of proof." - Soul
Trojanowski's claims of "personal info" being leaked were fabricated - the screenshot he shared contained no personal information, only evidence of Trojanowski's code theft and lies.
This is when Trojanowski revealed his September 2022: Fabricated Screenshot - using browser inspect element to fabricate a "confession" making it appear Brodie admitted to FTP sabotage he did not commit.
The fabricated message claimed Brodie said: "I only recently lost access to their FTPS, had 14 servers FTPs but I wiped my PC lost them. NWAF PVP is another one I fucked with..."
Critical Analysis:
- This "confession" was supposedly made to Mathew - the very person accused of the FTP sabotage by multiple victims
- Brodie never made any such statement to his own staff (Clover), who would have been the logical recipient of any genuine confession
- The FTP accusation against Mathew preceded this by nearly a year - including TheGreedyPeasant's December 2021 exoneration of Brodie
- Mathew previously blamed his ex-partner "Azzy" for this same FTP behavior - now conveniently redirected to Brodie
This fabricated screenshot became a key piece of "evidence" Trojanowski threatened to circulate to discredit Brodie.
July 2023: Infrastructure Attacks
On 14 and 15 July 2023, Brodie documented hostile activity tied to Nitrado.
Brodie captured an incident where:
- His Nitrado account was locked
- In-game messaging and Discord invite links had been altered to redirect players toward BigFatMods - a Discord owned by Edward Anthony Griggs Jr. (Crix)
Nitrado's Response Failure: Despite Brodie's immediate reports with screenshot evidence showing unauthorized file modifications with timestamps, Nitrado took 52 days to internally escalate and refused to conduct an adequate security investigation.
Late July 2023: Brand Confusion
By late July 2023, the fight had expanded into brand confusion.
Trojanowski's orbit was building an Aggro-themed presence that blurred the line between the community Brodie had built and the rival space that wanted his users.
August-September 2023: Pedo Smear Begins
In August and September 2023, the campaign shifted into something that looked less like a breakup dispute and more like a long-term harassment strategy.
The smear that would later dominate everything started appearing more openly during this period.
Brodie was being called a pedophile in conversation and in attacks - not as a claim tied to any evidence, but as a shortcut to disgust and mob logic.
17 September 2023: DDoS Threats
On 17 September 2023, Brodie preserved a conversation in which Trojanowski bragged about DDoS capability to a third party - a signal that the campaign was comfortable with technical attacks, not just reputational ones.
20 September 2023: Doxxing Website
On 20 September 2023, AggroPVP.com displayed:
- Brodie's residential address
- Language inviting people to "head over" to the address "for some fun"
That was not an argument about a Discord bot anymore. It was a doxxing threat presented as entertainment.
Brodie reported the domain to the registrar, Porkbun, and the domain was suspended on 21 September 2023. But days later, on 29 September 2023, Porkbun told Brodie the domain had transferred to GoDaddy, forcing Brodie back into the same loop of reporting.
October 2023: Public Humiliation
On 15 October 2023, Brodie captured a Discord incident where Trojanowski and Griggs joined in public harassment that mixed technical intimidation with personal degradation and renewed pedophile accusations.
8 October 2023: Technical Superiority Documented
Around this time, Brodie captured throughput data that demonstrated Legion's technical performance advantage. The comparison was stark:
- Legion: 124,665 messages processed in ~24 hours
- SkyNet: 118,000 messages processed in ~72 hours
That's approximately 3.2 times higher throughput for Legion. The data wasn't about bragging - it was evidence that when Trojanowski claimed he had "completely rewritten" the code and built something better, the numbers told a different story.
The person who couldn't spawn the right item in-game without help was now running a competitor that performed at one-third the speed of the code he'd had access to.
28 October 2023: DayZ++ Owner's History Exposed
On 28 October 2023, a conversation between Brodie and Lykos (a respected server owner from Conquest) revealed context about the DayZ++ operator that explained some of the hostility Brodie had experienced.
Lykos: "DayZ++ owner is perma-banned on Conquest because he mass-tkd back in 2021 lmao"
Lykos also noted that DayZ++ was copying Brodie's features: "One of blackout admins makes DayZ++. They're copying my features though." The pattern wasn't technical competition - it was personal antagonism wrapped in a developer veneer.
November 2023: Impersonation Spam
On 22 November 2023, Brodie documented a spamming event where an account using his Legion branding was posting across multiple unrelated Discord servers in rapid succession.
Brodie treated it as an attempt to manufacture a Terms of Service problem for him, because even if people did not believe he wrote the messages, the noise itself could get him flagged or banned.
25 November 2023: Fake Profile
On 25 November 2023, a Discord account styled as "Soul.dev" appeared with Brodie's brand attached and a degrading bio that called him a "trash" developer and pushed readers toward "legion killfeed."
The point was to make it look like Brodie was self-posting abuse or running a fake persona to smear himself.
12 December 2023: The Xanax Attack
On 12 December 2023, Carl-bot moderation logs show 100 messages being purged from a channel in a burst that included:
- Repeated reposting of an image of Brodie while sick
- Homophobic slurs
- Explicit sexual violence threats aimed at his partner and family, including threats that referenced his children
The offender, identified in the logs as Xanax, was banned minutes after joining.
Part Four: 2024 - Escalation to Family Targeting
January 2024: Death Threats & Child Targeting
On 8 January 2024, Brodie preserved:
- A message from a user threatening death
- A rape threat aimed at his partner and children
The language was graphic and deliberately cruel. It was not framed as "trash talk." It was framed as a punishment fantasy.
9 January 2024: Griggs with photos of Brodie's minor children.
On 9 January 2024, Edward Anthony Griggs Jr. (Crix) privately contacted one of Brodie's Discord moderators, known as Feather.
The exchange immediately turned into intimidation:
- Edward insulted Feather repeatedly
- Claimed he had her personal information "pulled up"
- Threatened that he would post her dox details soon
- Sent Feather images of Brodie's young children
- Taunted that "they are scared for their lives"
- Tied the children's photos into the ongoing "pedo" smear aimed at Brodie
Feather challenged the hypocrisy directly, pointing out that Edward was calling Brodie a pedophile while simultaneously keeping and sharing another man's children's photos - describing it as "a grown man saving kids that are not his in his photo album."
That exchange crystallised what made this campaign different from ordinary online hostility. It was deliberate use of a parent's children as an instrument of fear and humiliation.
14 January 2024: Nitrado API Whitelist Collaboration
While harassment continued on one front, professional recognition continued on another. On 14 January 2024, Nitrado staff (Aspirin+C) reached out directly to the Legion Killfeed team to address API rate limiting issues.
Aspirin+C: "hey there, normally i don't do DMs, so let's not make a big deal out of it, what IP are you using for your killfeed bot? how many requests over what period are you doing?"
The conversation showed Nitrado's internal team working to whitelist Legion's infrastructure, adding JayJay and other developers to their API access list. This wasn't a favour - it was recognition that Legion was a legitimate, professional operation worth supporting.
24 January 2024: Reddit Slander Post
On 24 January 2024, a user named Obviously_Mario created a post titled "Legion Kill feed, What's souls issue?" in r/DayZDiscussions.
The post accumulated 45 comments over 8 months with coordinated timing. Multiple accounts made identical accusations using similar language about "file stealing" and "FTP access."
Key Pattern: Many accounts posting accusations had no post history except for this single thread. September 2024 defence comments revealed Brief_Ordinary1438 was connected to the competing "DayZ Skynet Killfeed" service.
31 January 2024: Xanax Threats
On 31 January 2024, "Xanax" (Discord User ID: 836723684190191656) sent explicit threats to sexually assault Brodie's wife, children, and pets.
These were not vague threats but graphic descriptions of sexual violence targeting family members including minors.
Xanax later offered an "apology" - but then admitted the apology was insincere. He had only apologised to try to get unbanned.
March 2024: Papa Blunt Incident
On 2 March 2024, during Legion's free beta period, Papa Blunt (Hot_Ad6729) opened a support ticket needing to remove Legion from one Discord.
For three days, while Brodie was dealing with a breaking change, Papa Blunt did not respond with what Brodie needed to diagnose the issue.
On 5 March 2024:
- Brodie posted a public notice about the command errors
- Papa Blunt closed the ticket saying he had "figured it out"
- Brodie reopened it immediately, frustrated
Legion Killfeed added.papa blunt (id: 1085988959701704845) to the thread. - Sat 2 Mar 2024 12:03 PM.papa blunt (id: 1085988959701704845) - Sat 2 Mar 2024 12:05 PM: Hey. I have legion on another discord and need to remove it so I can add to my new discord. Keeps saying I don't have perms to set discord? I deleted all tokens and tried to create another but still says I need to /set discord. Soul - Sat 2 Mar 2024 4:18 PM: Can you screenshot the error?.papa blunt (id: 1085988959701704845) - Tue 5 Mar 2024 1:07 PM: I figured it out. Thanks tho. (closed the ticket) Legion Killfeed APP - Tue 5 Mar 2024 1:07 PM: @Soul (aSoul) reopened.papablunt's ticket... Soul - Tue 5 Mar 2024 1:08 PM: Actually, I fixed the issue while you ignored me trying to tell you at 11:14am I was fixing it beta-chat. I literally pinged you, twice, how can I fix it if you're gonna ignore me though? I can't fix things when I can't find the issue. If you can't help me help you, then I won't help you in the future, meaning, I will remove the bot. I was only trying to help..papa blunt (id: 1085988959701704845) - Tue 5 Mar 2024 1:15 PM: Lol. I didn't ignore you by any means. I honestly didn't see your message until I hoped over to your discord to see if anything bug wise was going on.
Instead of de-escalating, Papa Blunt spammed the broken commands, mocked Brodie, and sent DMs calling him "a power tripping whining little girl."
Within hours, the same Reddit account Hot_Ad6729 posted in the existing "Legion kill feed, What's souls issue?" thread, calling Brodie "a total douche bag."
The Pattern: This incident demonstrates the standard playbook used against Brodie - create a support issue, ignore assistance, escalate the conflict, then immediately take it public with a one-sided narrative that strips all context. Papa Blunt's rapid pivot from support ticket to Reddit attack post shows how technical support disputes were being weaponized into reputation damage.
April 2024: Legion's Growth
By late April 2024, Brodie's systems were serving 174 servers at peak during the beta period.
26 May 2024: Kyle/Cactus Confession
On 26 May 2024, a user named Kyle (alias "cactus") openly confessed in Brodie's Discord server that he had been leaving fake negative reviews on "all the bot websites," including Trustpilot.
Kyle bragged that he went around posting bad reviews for bots he had never even used.
The Link to Competitors: "Kyle" was tied to Trojanowski's group. This confession directly linked Discord harassment to Trustpilot sabotage.
June 2024: Formal Complaint
On 5 June 2024, Brodie filed an Adult Cyber Abuse complaint with the Australian eSafety Commissioner (receipt ACA-2024-0528878).
The complaint captured the cross-platform nature of what was happening: doxxing, pedophile smears, and the involvement of his children as targets.
By mid-2024, Brodie also referenced seeking help from NSW Police in relation to earlier sustained harassment.
Mid-June 2024: Renewed Doxxing
Around 18 June 2024, Trojanowski and Griggs began pushing what they claimed was Brodie's home address into public Discord spaces again.
Two days later, on 20 June 2024, the campaign hit a new intensity:
- Messages aimed at Brodie included explicit suicide encouragement
- The same burst of abuse dragged his children into it again
20 June 2024: Kamikaze Confession
That same day, in a private Discord conversation that Jacob "RBSkizza" Stoppard later shared with Brodie, Trojanowski (kamikaze420) openly discussed coordinating attacks. This chat log contains a direct confession to DDoSing and sabotage:
KAMIKAZE: imma get his ass RBSKIZZA: GGs to ddossing me KAMIKAZE: I had it in 15 minutes of trying KAMIKAZE: Soul was easy as fuck KAMIKAZE: Lost interest time RBSKIZZA: He had your website shut then bitched when it was back up KAMIKAZE: Tried to scam me on PayPal got reported and got his account blocked KAMIKAZE: My site wasn't down... took it offline to move it... I'm not that dumb KAMIKAZE: I have my shit across 6 different servers expensive as fuck but at least my shit works KAMIKAZE: Little does he know he lost like 15 customers and they all came here KAMIKAZE: Imma leave his alts for now... now that I know imma feed him bad info KAMIKAZE: Did Salty ever go back? RBSKIZZA: Nah he didn't KAMIKAZE: Aw okay I wondered that that... He's got two I think. Thanks for this imma play like I don't know... Little slimy rat
21 June 2024: Family Contact Attempt
On 21 June 2024, Brodie tried one of the few remaining off-ramps available to him.
He contacted Trojanowski's sister directly, asking for help stopping what was happening.
The reply that came back, presented as being from Trojanowski's mother, was mocking and dismissive.
Shortly after, Trojanowski himself sent a follow-up message styled to mirror Brodie's brand - confirming Brodie had reached the correct family circle.
24 June 2024: Brodie's Response
By 24 June 2024, after days of suicide baiting, doxx attempts, and repeated "pedo" smears with no factual basis, Brodie reached a point where he stopped trying to absorb it quietly.
He confronted Trojanowski publicly with a claim grounded in a registry search, stating that Trojanowski was living at the same address as a registered child sex offender.
Brodie framed it as a line being drawn: he was done being labelled a pedophile by people who were simultaneously weaponising images of his children.
End of June 2024: The Predictable Loop
By the end of June 2024, the pattern had settled into a predictable loop:
- Trojanowski and Griggs kept combining doxxing pressure, suicide encouragement, and family-focused intimidation with a defamation storyline
- Reports were being filed across platforms, but enforcement was inconsistent and slow
- Even when something was taken down, the same claims resurfaced through new accounts
10 July 2024: Blacklist Report
On 10 July 2024, a community member submitted an anonymous report to The Blacklist, describing Trojanowski and Griggs as harassing people, using slurs, and pushing into doxxing territory.
This third-party report demonstrated the harassment was visible enough that uninvolved community members were formally documenting it.
11 July 2024: Xanax Unban Attempt
On 11 July 2024, Xanax (xanax1228) - who had previously made rape threats against Brodie's family - attempted to get unbanned from Legion's Discord.
When Brodie refused, Xanax responded: "See if you'd actually let me speak I'm not asking for forgiveness not once did I ask."
Discord had never actioned the original rape threats despite reports, yet the platform later penalised Brodie for responding to such threats.
13 July 2024: Customer Threatened with Lawyer
On 13 July 2024, Lady Weezus - a former SkyNet customer - shared her experience leaving the competitor's service.
After raising legitimate concerns about service quality, Trojanowski's response was to threaten her with a lawyer and close her support ticket.
"I still can't believe they threaten me with a lawyer... when I called him out he closed the ticket. So I left. Fuck em. The killfeed was awful." - Lady Weezus
She described the service issues: "Took 10 minutes to respond or anything."
This third-party testimony demonstrated SkyNet's pattern: when customers raised concerns, Trojanowski escalated to legal threats rather than resolving issues.
15-21 July 2024: IP Clustering
On 15 July 2024, Security Trails reverse IP lookup revealed multiple domains under Trojanowski's control sharing the same IP address (15.204.227.181):
- SkyNetVSLegion.com (defamation site)
- DayZSkynet.com
- AggroPVP.com (harassment site)
This proved the harassment operation was centralized - not random drama, but an organized operation run from shared infrastructure.
On 21 July 2024, a Legion supporter (ScooterPootr) confronted Trojanowski with the Security Trails proof. Trojanowski immediately deleted the conversation and denied responsibility.
1 August 2024: SkyNet Blacklisted by Community
On 1 August 2024, Lykos - a respected server owner from Conquest who had been following the harassment - shared a major development.
After SkyNet's behaviour was formally reported to The Blacklist Discord (a biased and problem causing community pretending to be a watchlist for problematic actors run by problematic actors), Griggs had a public meltdown when confronted with the evidence.
"Lmao crix not happy he got posted on blacklist too. Calling everything fake... Crix meltdown started calling her a bitch. Lmaoo." - Lykos
The screenshots showed Griggs calling the moderators "stupid bitches" when they questioned the evidence against SkyNet. When a moderator tried to help him respond, he escalated:
"You just call me a bitch? When actually I am trying to help you." - Evil (Blacklist Mod)
"Yeah. What you gonna do besides ban me?... nobody cares about your dumbass shit anyway." - Crix
Queen a DayZ++ Staff publicly discontinued their partnership with SkyNet: "I contacted kami and discontinued my partnership."
Other community members noted: "DayZ Drama. ya'll need to take inspiration from DayZ++ and just do your own thing" - Links, ironically commenting as if uninvolved despite being the primary doxxer.
Result: Trojanowski and Griggs were formally added to The Blacklist. They immediately deleted all their messages attempting to hide evidence, which community members caught: "they went back into jeabers and deleted messages lmaooooo".
Lykos observed: "He always does, Kami deletes his too, he deleted all of our DMs the day we split... Man ran scared."
Part Five: August-December 2024 - The Review Platform War
Early August 2024: Reputational Grind
By early August 2024, the fight was no longer confined to private Discord arguments. It had turned into a reputational grind aimed at what strangers would believe when they searched Brodie or Legion.
On 7 August 2024, Mason Lewis Stockton appeared tied directly to a competitor identity. In DayZ++ he was shown with a Partner role while presenting himself as the person behind whitelist.gg.
August 2024: Trustpilot Attacks
On 13 August 2024, a Trustpilot review about DayZ Multi Tool accused the bot of being used to wipe a server and claimed malicious code existed to delete channels and roles.
On 19 and 20 August 2024, Brodie reached out to Reddit Support over a slander thread. The emails preserved show him writing in a state of acute distress, including explicit suicide language.
24 August 2024: Child Targeting Exposed
On 24 August 2024, Edward Anthony Griggs Jr. (Crix) mocked another killfeed operator and posted an image referencing that person's children as a kind of punishment for speaking up.
The intimidation style was clear: the point was not to argue features or prices, but to make family a pressure point.
27 August 2024: SEO Warfare
By 27 August 2024, Trojanowski was tied to SkyNetVSLegion.com being positioned to appear prominently in Google results for "Legion Killfeed."
28 August 2024: Havasu Review
On 28 August 2024, Stockton posted a one-star Trustpilot review under the name "havasu."
The review framed Legion as unsafe and dishonest, alleged exposure of sensitive data, called Brodie a "ChatGPT coder," and steered readers toward named competitors.
On 6 September 2024, while pressing Trustpilot to deal with the "havasu" attack, Brodie explicitly referenced an open police investigation into the harassment (reference CIRS-20240906-104).
September 2024: Buchanan Betrayal
On 31 August 2024, Brodie's DMs with Anthony Buchanan (OzzieHousos, UntoldTruthy) still carried a friendly tone.
Then on 1 September 2024, Buchanan told Brodie he had previously been given access to a private GitHub repository by Trojanowski and that "a lot of it" appeared to be DayZ Multi Tool material.
Buchanan initially acted like he wanted to help. Then Buchanan abruptly backtracked, deleted parts of the conversation, left Brodie's Discord, and reappeared through an alternate account.
12 September 2024: Suspicious Bot Contact
On 12 September 2024, a developer using the handle "Tony Stark" messaged Brodie directly, saying he had used DayZ Multi Tool for years and that it inspired him to build a "companion bot."
Brodie's own logs tied that account back to an earlier Discord identity, "jailbreakdeez."
13 September 2024: Buchanan's Pivot
On 13 September 2024, Buchanan approached Brodie with a proposal asking what it would take for Brodie to implement Buchanan's "alt detection" methods into Legion.
Brodie refused outright, pointing to the trust problem Buchanan had created himself.
The tone changed instantly. Buchanan flipped from "work with me" to abuse - called Brodie a "pedo," pushed drug taunts, and escalated into "woman basher" slurs.
Soon after, Buchanan posted a negative Trustpilot review under his own name while operating as a competitor.
September 2024: "Pups" Infiltration
From 19 to 21 September 2024, Mason Lewis Stockton continued contact using the Discord account "pups" (sasha1371731).
On 18 September 2024, an account using Stockton's pups alias entered a Legion support thread raising the idea that Brodie's address and tax information could be found on his website. Brodie responded that his ABN was legally required and publicly searchable in Australia, and when pressed about the "address," he pointed out the listed location was a deliberate joke rather than a real residence. The exchange showed the same recurring behaviour: probing for personal information under the cover of "just letting you know," then keeping the target engaged on the subject of where they live.
The mask slipped on 21 September 2024. Brodie reopened the "pups" ticket publicly and posted a screenshot showing that the same account was privately messaging Legion subscribers, pushing them to switch to DayZ++.
24 September 2024: T-Bag Pattern
On 24 September 2024, Trojanowski and Griggs attacked a different killfeed developer known as T-Bag in similar fashion.
Trojanowski and Griggs circulated images of T-Bag's children and harassed him with those photos - exactly as they had done to Brodie.
Critical Proof: This demonstrated that targeting minors was a repeated tactic against any perceived competitor.
22 September 2024: Trustpilot's Technical "Error"
On 22 September 2024, Trustpilot gave an early preview of the problem Brodie would face for the next year: even when a defamatory review was removed after being reported, it could reappear anyway.
Anthony Buchanan's Trustpilot review had been taken down on 19 September 2024 after it was reported for defamatory content, but it was then mistakenly reinstated due to what Trustpilot described as a technical error. The reinstatement was corrected again on 22 September 2024 under Ticket #28652546.
For Brodie, the practical impact was simple: even when a platform agreed something should not be published, the same content could still resurface without warning, forcing him to relive the takedown process and absorb another round of exposure.
November 2024: Karl Messer Review
On 5 November 2024, Karl Messer (using the handle Moley) returned to Brodie's DMs with hostile taunts about Legion Killfeed.
Messer tried to turn it into a story that Brodie had "cancelled" his payment. Brodie pushed back with PayPal failure notices as proof.
On 6 November 2024, Messer posted a one-star Trustpilot review under his own name - despite Brodie having already flagged to Trustpilot that this exact kind of review attack was being threatened.
20 November 2024: Links' Reputation Proceeded Him.
On 20 November 2024, the reputational consequences of Mason Lewis Stockton's (Links, Havasu, pups) harassment campaign became visible to third parties.
In a conversation captured that day, Lykos asked whether "Links" was still involved with AltDetector. The response confirmed what server owners already knew:
"Nah, we decided to part ways with Links as it felt like his questionable reputation was holding us back." - iNTERCEPT18
When Lykos noted that "Myself and many other server owners didn't want to touch it", the new leadership agreed:
"When I first came in I was surprised at some of the stuff I saw... I didn't really know of Links or his past when I first came on, so it's been a very eye-opening experience." - iNTERCEPT18
This third-party testimony confirmed that Links' documented history of doxxing and harassment was visible enough to professional partners that they chose to distance themselves publicly. Information would later reveal iNTERCEPT18 was Stockton all along.
25 November 2024: Walker TikTok
On 25 November 2024, a TikTok post by Joel Walker (Jack Jackelope) included an on-screen prompt telling Brodie to message him, framed in a deliberately antagonistic way.
December 2024: Trustpilot Loop
On 2 December 2024, Trustpilot's Content Integrity team responded to Brodie's defamation flag on Karl Messer's review and said they had run it through an "AI-powered defamation tool."
They concluded the review was "not defamatory," reinstated it, and told Brodie to reply publicly to "tell your side of the story."
From 5 December through 19 December 2024, Brodie tried every available Trustpilot pathway to force a genuine verification check, and Trustpilot kept closing doors.
Part Six: 2025 - Multi-Platform Siege
3 January 2025: Symbolic Frustration
On 3 January 2025, Brodie's frustration with Trustpilot spilled into something symbolic - a short looped "fuck you" style video aimed at the platform.
January 2025: AltDetector Shutdown
On 28 January 2025, Mason Lewis Stockton posted a shutdown announcement for AltDetector and openly admitted he had been operating it under an alternate identity.
The message ended with explicit abuse aimed at Brodie - a confession that customers had been misled about who was running the product, wrapped in a parting shot.
7 February 2025: Nitrado Failure
Brodie sent a formal complaint to Nitrado describing being harassed and slandered by a volunteer Discord moderator while trying to get help from legitimate staff.
He also complained about prolonged service disruption during DDoS attacks and the mismatch between advertised protections and actual uptime.
13-14 February 2025: FaMiN Exchange
After a new signup appeared that made Brodie suspicious, he refunded and removed access, then contacted the user directly.
In the exchange, FaMiN_aKuTaMaY offered to prove legitimacy by providing information about Griggs, including claims about address history and employment. FaMiN described a long-running conflict including a threat to kill him.
FaMiN revealed he had first found Legion through posts accusing one side or the other of stealing code - and that seeing Griggs listed as an admin on Skynet was exactly why he chose Brodie's service instead.
March 2025: Trustpilot Continues
By March 2025, the Karl Messer one-star review had stopped feeling like an isolated customer dispute and started reading like a process trap: every time Brodie tried to flag the review, the platform's workflow pushed him into another category, another form, another wait - while the same accusations stayed public.
In early March, Brodie filed further reports arguing the review wasn't describing a genuine experience but was instead a personal-attack narrative built around false claims about payments and customer treatment.
Trustpilot's replies kept steering him back into procedure. On 6 March he was told investigations depend on the specific flagging reason selected. On 8 March, Trustpilot said Messer did not respond to a request to remove identified personal-information content - yet the review itself remained visible.
On 10 March 2025, Trustpilot's Content Integrity team closed the loop: they said they had read the review and concluded the phrases Brodie flagged "follow our guidelines," so the review would remain online. The message again encouraged him to reply publicly and "tell your side."
After that decision, Brodie wrote that the review was already costing him business, and that he would escalate beyond Trustpilot - including contacting senior staff and consumer-protection channels.
By 22 March, the tone shifted from adjudication to customer-experience bureaucracy: Trustpilot emailed a feedback survey about the interaction.
25 March 2025: AltDetector Legal Threats
Brodie posted a warning to his own community about AltDetector and the people now promoting it.
Renato Alexander Gallo Gomez (DonMatraca) then DM'd Brodie directly. Gomez turned to insulting Brodie's programming abilities while framing his contact around "don't drag my bot into your drama."
Brodie treated it as another attempt to intimidate him into silence and repeatedly invited the person to "send your lawyers" if they intended to escalate.
April 2025: Mason Returns
On 17 April 2025, Mason Lewis Stockton resurfaced in Brodie's Discord under the Havasu name and immediately tried to reframe an older controversy.
When Brodie responded by calling him "Links," Mason reacted like he had been caught and within minutes was kicked from the server.
May 2025: More Fake Reviews
By May 2025, the dispute had widened beyond one reviewer. Brodie was now trying to get Trustpilot to recognise a pattern he said he could see clearly from the inside: misrepresentation, coordinated pressure, and reviews being treated as "normal feedback" even when the surrounding context looked like harassment.
On 21 May 2025, Trustpilot's Content Integrity team acknowledged a formal complaint from Brodie about false misrepresentation and warned of long delays due to high volume.
On 26 May 2025, Trustpilot responded to a classification-related complaint by framing the misrepresentation as an artifact of how a reviewer searched - not as a coordinated attack.
Then, on 29 May 2025, another one-star review appeared under the name "Trevor Gonzales," accusing Brodie of abusive support. Brodie challenged it as unverified and inconsistent with his own internal records.
Trustpilot's response followed the same track as before: the review was run through an "AI-powered defamation tool," judged "not defamatory," and reinstated.
June 2025: Trustpilot "Top Mentions" AI Label
In June 2025, the Trustpilot thread took a turn that felt less like moderation and more like narrative damage: the platform's own UI began implying an "AI" theme on Brodie's profile, even as he argued the underlying reviews didn't support it.
First, the "Trevor Gonzales" review handling became internally inconsistent. On 2 June 2025, Trustpilot told Brodie the review had "already been deleted" and that it could not take further action - despite earlier communications indicating it had been reinstated and left visible.
Then, on 17 June 2025, Trustpilot's "Top Mentions" panel began surfacing artificial intelligence as a prominent theme on Brodie's business profile. Brodie challenged the label as false, noting the phrase did not appear in the published reviews and that Trustpilot's own search returned no matches.
On 19 June 2025, Trustpilot replied that "Top Mentions" are produced automatically, claiming the system linked "artificial intelligence" to the business because reviewers referred to it as a "bot" - leaving the implication in place despite the mismatch. Brodie wrote that he believed the label was being driven by Stockton's August/September 2024 review framing him as a "ChatGPT coder."
June 2025: Technical Credibility
On 21 June 2025, Brodie documented that Bohemia Interactive implemented a suggestion he had provided that reduced CPU usage across servers by roughly 40%.
That kind of profile makes attacks more attractive to competitors and trolls, because the target becomes symbolically valuable.
Part Seven: July 2025 - The Facebook Explosion
1 July 2025: Putzier Attack
On 1 July 2025, Nathan Lane Putzier (JakelOpprimere) began pushing a "billing scam" story inside Legion's own spaces.
Brodie responded by pointing out the contradiction: the subscription history showed a fresh subscription in May 2025.
2 July 2025: Facebook Post
On 2 July 2025 at 9:09 PM, Putzier escalated publicly in a DayZ Facebook group with over 33,000 members, posting a "scam" warning about Legion. The post contained multiple verifiable false claims that were immediately challenged by community members with evidence.
Nathan Lane Putzier (JakelOpprimere) - July 2nd 2025 at 9:09PM
"Everyone beware if you own a server and use legion kill feed you are getting ripped off (soul) the 'owner' is a scam artist never got what I payed for the kill feed kept cutting out or wouldn't work for hours at a time. I cancelled my subscription in May and have still been getting charged. I asked him what up with still getting charged and he blocks me. I would 100% never recommend Legions kill feed."
Maddi Slims replied:
"It's subscription is handled by a third party service so it's all self managed? The owner doesn't even get close to having access to your details and your subscription started in may according to the third party service?"
Community members then provided evidence showing:
- Putzier's subscription was created in May 2025, contradicting his "cancelled in May" claim
- Third-party billing means Brodie has no access to cancel subscriptions
- No record of Putzier attempting contact through official support channels
The Documented Lies: Putzier's post contained three specific false claims that were debunked with receipts: (1) that he "cancelled" in May when records show he started in May, (2) that Brodie could manually charge him when billing is automated through a third party, and (3) that Brodie "blocked" him when no support contact existed.
July 2025: Brett Jones Incident
On 13 and 14 July 2025, Brett Jones (MrTechN9ne) told others in a Discord chat he was replacing Legion because he had "found out the owner of legion is a pedophile."
Brodie revoked Jones's access to Legion services immediately.
On 17 and 18 July 2025, Jones attempted to turn the conflict into financial pressure through PayPal. After PayPal decided the case in Legion's favour, a second person entered Brodie's support channel and explicitly relayed that "Tech says hi" - tying the contact back to Jones.
Late July 2025: Daniel Santos Post
On 19 and 20 July 2025, Daniel Santos (dani23COVID) opened a paid-support ticket that became a template for the next phase: take a conflict inside a ticket, strip context, and repost it publicly as "proof" the developer is abusive.
In late July 2025, Santos carried that internal ticket conflict out to Facebook. What followed showed how quickly this turned into coordinated pressure:
- Danny Hayes (XDannyModzzzX) argued that "never would a seller speak to a consumer like this"
- He explicitly pushed escalation tactics, including "EVERYONE REPORT LEGION"
- He posted proof of a negative Trustpilot review being left from that thread
- One participant added "#TeamKami," tying the pile-on language back to Trojanowski's orbit
- Brett Jones appeared in the comments reinforcing the smear
Not everyone followed the mob. Several community members pushed back publicly:
- Codi-lee Brooke Dale defended Brodie directly: "He makes everything simple for everyone so there's no need for stupid questions. If you just simply READ you'll find what you're looking for" - and told Santos to "pull your head out your ass" when his attacks escalated
- Maddyn Mills called out Santos' behaviour: "Look how pathetic you are, attacking anyone that opposes you, no wonder Soul pointed out how daft you are"
- KaLee Whitmore challenged Santos' victim narrative: "but idiots can disrespect him?" - pointing out the double standard
These defenders were met with hostility - Danny Hayes' response to Madelyn Mills was "2 can play that game," demonstrating how quickly defence of Brodie was treated as provocation.
Part Eight: August 2025 - The Review Bomb
1 August 2025: Coordinated Attack
On 1 August 2025, Danny Hayes received pushback from Madelyn Mills and immediately framed it as retaliation, writing "2 can play that game."
He then published a one-star Trustpilot review aimed at Legion Killfeed, telling readers to "REPORT ONLY" and singling Mills out by name.
At the same time, Brett Jones and people around his Discord were circulating Brodie's older Facebook remarks about his children being targeted, then turning it into sexually explicit mockery.
2 August 2025: Trustpilot Failure
Even with a review flagged as harmful or illegal - using an obscene slur as its username - Trustpilot's decision was to put it back online and take no further action.
That contradiction signalled to attackers that even the most obvious bad-faith content could be restored.
4 August 2025: Legal Escalation
Brodie formalised escalation with a demand letter to Trustpilot Legal. He characterised the posts as false, harassing, and part of a coordinated campaign originating on Facebook.
The same day, he sent a complaint letter to Meta's legal channels about the Facebook post.
4-7 August 2025: eSafety Complaint
Brodie filed comprehensive complaint to the Australian eSafety Commissioner (Reference CYR-0672200) documenting:
- Daniel Santos July 28 Facebook incitement
- Cross-platform coordination (5+ individuals UK/USA/Canada)
- Danny Hayes orchestrating mass-reports, review floods, and chargeback fraud
- Commercial competitors coordinating to eliminate Legion Killfeed
External Reports Filed:
- Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre: Reference 2025-67881
- Thames Valley Police (UK): Reference 43250388789
6 August 2025: Meta's Position
After Brodie reported the Facebook post and comments, Meta's replies stated it would not remove the reported material and suggested that he block or unfollow the posters.
Mid-August 2025: ABN Contradiction
On 15 August 2025, Trustpilot Content Integrity replied that Trustpilot did not operate under an Australian Business Number.
Three days later, on 18 August 2025, Trustpilot reversed that position, stating that Trustpilot's legal entity in Australia was Trpilot Pty Limited and supplying an Australian ABN (37 605 147 260).
Brodie highlighted that the two statements could not both be true.
18 August 2025: Partial Victory
On 18 August 2025, Trustpilot's Content Integrity team reversed course on at least one review. The "Robert McDonovan" review was being taken offline on the basis that it was not a genuine experience.
27-28 August 2025: Trustpilot Status
Trustpilot Legal issued a consolidated status letter listing review-by-review outcomes:
- "Z Doneskies" taken offline as "not based on a genuine experience"
- "Robert McDonovan" taken offline on the same basis
- Danny Hayes and WARZONE taken offline
- Karl Messer review blurred pending documentation
Even with the blur in place, the negative review still affected Legion's star rating.
Part Nine: September-October 2025 - Aggropvp.com Returns
1 September 2025: The Loop Continues
On 1 September 2025, Trustpilot's Content Integrity team reinstated the WARZONE review anyway and told Brodie it would not take further action.
24 September 2025: Direct Provocation
On 24 September 2025, Trojanowski directly messaged Brodie on Facebook and pointed him to https://aggropvp.com, framing it as "here you go" after "wanting my attention."
It was a taunt and a delivery mechanism in one: a direct nudge toward a site built to defame and threaten Brodie and his family.
26-27 September 2025: Alt-Account Pattern
On 26-27 September 2025, Brodie documented another example of the alt-account pattern around these circles.
A newly created Discord account approached him while advertising server and modding services, then admitted it was an alternative account. In isolation it looked like spam or opportunism.
But the account name was "SANTOS" - which matches Daniel Santos, the poster of the July 20th Facebook post. With this context, it matched the pattern of a competitor fabricating drama and further demonstrated the broader technique Brodie had been living with: new accounts appear, probe for access or attention, and then either deny identity or casually confirm they are operating under multiple names.
29 September 2025: Doxxing Returns
By 29 September 2025, aggropvp.com had become the sharpest edge of the story again.
The site published:
- The same address they believed to be Brodie's residential address
- Prior statements republished for ridicule
- A direct threat against Brodie's partner, displayed alongside her Discord profile details
Brodie treated that page as the point where the campaign moved beyond reputational sabotage into explicit intimidation.
October 2025: Brodie's Legal Escalation
1 October 2025: Brodie sent Reddit a formal cease and desist (Ticket #14802881) naming the r/DayZDiscussions post used to circulate false allegations. He quoted exact statements - claims that he "collects and sells your files," that he had deleted other communities' server files, and that Legion's code had "malicious intent" - attached exports and screenshots tying the narrative to competitor Mathew Trojanowski, and put Reddit on explicit notice:
"I am placing Reddit on formal notice. A coordinated competitor campaign is using r/DayZDiscussions to publish false statements of fact about me and my business and to drive off-platform harassment. You now have explicit notice of the URLs, the exact words, and the linkage to a direct competitor. If Reddit refuses to remove the notified content, I will add Reddit as a publisher in defamation proceedings."
2 October 2025: Reddit Legal responded with deflection - acknowledging receipt but refusing to address the specific URLs, instead instructing Brodie to use the public report form. They treated a formal legal notice like a standard user complaint.
4 October 2025: Brodie sent a second notice reaffirming his position:
"Your internal policies and routing guidelines do not supersede the law. You are now on actual notice of unlawful content. Continued publication after notice can create liability, regardless of your forms or workflows."
5-10 October 2025: Brodie sent Trustpilot Legal a compensation demand and settlement undertakings with a Calderbank offer (settlement offer per Australian civil procedure) and a deadline of 10 October 2025 at 5:00 PM AEST. He argued that Trustpilot's back-and-forth moderation - removing reviews, then reinstating them - constituted republication after notice, creating multiple defamation counts. The demand included over 1,075 exhibits documenting the pattern.
Trustpilot's response: Automated acknowledgments only. "Experiencing high volumes... aim to reply within 10 working days." Zero substantive response by deadline.
7 October 2025: Brodie submitted a formal appeal to Facebook's Oversight Board (Case ID: FB-FS9LDNQ3), documenting that 18 personal reports plus 15 from others had all received "no violation" determinations despite coordinated defamation with false criminal accusations.
10 October 2025: Settlement deadline passed with no response from Trustpilot. Brodie sent a final notice:
"As of this writing, approximately 1.5 hours remain until the 5:00 PM AEST, 10 October 2025 deadline I set in my letter of 5 October 2025. I have received no response or compliance regarding the demanded compensation and remedial actions. This silence is unacceptable and further evidence of bad-faith on Trustpilot's part."
Late October 2025: Legion's Scale as a Target
Around this time, Brodie assembled uptime and scale metrics for Legion, including a month where the bot processed over five million Discord messages. He also gathered proof showing SkyNet's public leaderboards contained mathematically impossible stats under DayZ physics.
Those points were not "tech bragging" inside the timeline - they were part of the harassment logic: Legion's scale made it a larger prize, and competitor narratives leaned on undermining Brodie's credibility when they could not compete on performance.
25 October 2025: Joel Walker's Edited Post
On 25 October 2025, Joel Walker (Jack Jackelope) edited an existing high-engagement Facebook post in Make DayZ Great Again (a group with over 33,000 members) to insert the allegation "Soul from legion a pedo."
The post already had a large number of likes and comments before the accusation was added - meaning the edit tactic made old likes look like support for the new claim.
The comment thread that followed contained:
- Explicit calls for violence against "pedos"
- Statements implying that anyone defending the target should also be treated as guilty
Walker also posted that anyone "pointing the finger" at him for "calling out pedos" must be a pedo - while continuing to attach the label to Brodie and Legion.
Historical Context on Joel Walker: Community members surfaced documentation of Walker's pattern of false accusations and aggression:
- Nicholls Kurt (former high-ranking member of Walker's Discord): "I used to be higher up in his discord and could see channels no one else could and some of the shit he would say, post, and do with some of these (kids) would have him on a watch list. I did report a lot of it to discord back then with the proof."
- KaLee Whitmore (Walker's former partner) posted evidence of a restraining order for domestic violence involving herself and Walker.
These revelations demonstrated Walker's pattern of accusing others of the very behaviours he had been formally documented engaging in - a tactic known as DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender).
Historical Context on Joel Walker (Employer Statement): A character statement letter dated 10 January 2021 from Walker's former employer provides relevant background:
"Joel initially struck me as a man with a troubled past who was doing everything he could, trying to get his life back on the correct path... We had our first incident with Joel getting angry about two months in, Joel got into a screaming match with his supervisor and nearly got physical with him. When I asked about the situation, Joel stated he was not going to be talked to like he was a punk. This type of behavior happened a few other times with other employees, and Joel always had the same response, that he felt like he needed to use aggression to assert dominance... I then noticed Joel start to try and make everyone out to be a bad worker, in order to get them fired or disciplined... Joel's termination came after he was coached about behavior in Late December 2020, he got in my face like he was going to hit me... Joel proceeded to call HR and falsify claims that I was threatening him with a firearm, being racist toward him, and harassing him. All these claims were found to be false."
This pattern - false accusations to authorities, aggression to assert dominance, and attempts to get others punished - directly mirrors Walker's behaviour in the 2025 Facebook defamation campaign.
27 October 2025: Violence Invited
On 27 October 2025, the situation widened into real-world danger.
Once a false "pedo" label is unleashed in a large community space, it invites threats from strangers who feel righteous. The surrounding discussion included people asking for addresses.
Feather shared a restraining order connected to Walker, describing the respondent as a credible threat to physical safety.
Part Ten: November-December 2025 - Platform Failures Compound
Early November 2025: Direct Family Contact
On 2 November 2025, Brodie wrote to Edward Anthony Griggs Jr.'s father, identifying Griggs by name and describing a three-year pattern that included suicide encouragement, repeated "pedophile" smears, and a grown man storing and sharing images of Brodie's young children.
3-6 November 2025: Meta Support Loop
From 3 to 6 November 2025, Meta support continued to behave like the conversation was an inconvenience rather than an emergency.
The Nine-Hour Runaround (3 November 2025, Reference ID 1332648995224789):
- 7:30 PM: Agent Adi joined chat, Brodie explained Walker's October 25 post calling him a pedophile
- 8:03 PM: Adi promised to "pause the chat for the time being and investigate on this from my end with my team"
- 8:06 PM: Adi left
- 8:35 PM: Adi left again (65 minutes since start, no action)
- 10:08 PM: Brodie wrote: "This bad faith behaviour is on the record, I'll be contacting the ACCC"
- 10:55 PM: Adi returned (over 2 hours after leaving)
- 11:19 PM: Adi left again (4 hours since chat started, zero action taken)
- Next Day 4:55 AM: Agent Michael joined, provided form directions, left after 10 minutes
- Next Day 7:35 PM: Adi returned (over 20 hours after initial contact), admitted: "we are unable to directly take actions on this, so we require a report from your end again"
Brodie's response:
"YOU SAID YOU WOULD DO IT. THAT SPECIFIC ADI CUNT SAID HE WOULD DO IT... I HAVE BEEN WAITING TWO FUCKING DAYS"
On 5 November 2025, the tone hardened. Brodie accused a Meta support rep of not reading his messages at all, and the rep's only response was a blunt instruction not to reply further because the case had already been "investigated."
4 November 2025: Discord Strikes the Target
Discord added its own twist on 4 November 2025. In a normal support conversation about Legion features, Brodie mentioned he was about to send an email that could get Walker's Facebook account and group removed and pasted a link to his public documentation page.
Discord treated that single message as harassment and bullying and issued an account strike.
The strike notice focused on Brodie's defensive link - not the weeks of false criminal allegations being spread against him.
6 November 2025: Discord Second Strike Against Victim
On 6 November 2025, Brodie submitted Discord ticket #61771050 titled "Discord Staff Retaliation & Knowingly Penalizing Harassment Victim - Legal Escalation Imminent."
His submission laid out the timeline:
- October 25: Joel Walker publicly accused Brodie of being a pedophile on Facebook (evidence provided in previous ticket)
- October 25-November 4: Discord had Facebook evidence for 4+ days
- November 4: Discord applied harassment strike to Brodie's account for defending against false accusations
Brodie's statement: "Discord's action demonstrated either: Willful disregard for context and victim safety, actual complicity in the harassment campaign, or gross negligence in your review process."
The Psychological Collapse (October-November 2025)
The cumulative effect of three years of harassment and institutional betrayal became visible in Brodie's Discord tickets during this period.
23 October 2025 (Ticket #61465755):
"Fucking should just end my life, then you fucks might actually be forced to fucking look at this shit. I AM BEING MARKED FOR REPLYING TO A MESSAGE, WHEN THEY ARE THE ONES FUCKING HARASSING ME CUNT!"
17 November 2025 (same ticket):
"Great to know discord gives that few fucks about the people on their platform they'll straight up close and not reply to a suicide threat after being told to kill myself for three years on discord by these cunts. I'm done, ya'll are fuckheads, I hope you all lose your fucking jobs when I end my life. Fuck, if I've gotta kill myself to get this fucking shit reformed I'll go through with it."
9 November 2025: Continued Attacks
On 9 November 2025, Walker posted a fresh jab in a DayZ Facebook group telling people to "keep defending the kiddy ticklers" at Legion.
That same day, Trojanowski sent Brodie a new Facebook contact attempt with an insulting message attacking Brodie personally - continuing the pattern of using direct contact as harassment.
10 November 2025: Direct Death Threat
On 10 November 2025, a Discord user named "Paggaslaan" sent Brodie a message ending with "Hope they do get your family" - a blunt, personal threat.
Mid-November 2025: Measurable Business Impact
A Legion subscriber agreed to provide a written explanation that he cancelled specifically because the Facebook and Trustpilot rumours in July and August had made him uncomfortable.
In plain terms, this was the reputational damage becoming measurable: the smears were not only upsetting - they were changing customer decisions.
14 November 2025: Discord's Evidence Problem
On 14 November 2025, Discord's data-export language confirmed that manually deleted messages are not stored and do not appear in a user's data package.
In the context of this campaign, that matters because one common tactic is to send threats or vile claims, then delete them - leaving the target trying to prove what happened with only whatever they preserved at the time.
17 November 2025: Trustpilot Flags Brodie for "Misuse"
On 17 November 2025, Trustpilot's Content Integrity team emailed Brodie to say it had detected "misuse" of his flagging tool and referenced multiple internal ticket numbers. The message argued that genuinely fake reviews would be removed automatically by Trustpilot's fraud engines, while also conceding that some could "go unnoticed". In plain terms, the platform reframed Brodie's repeated, evidence-backed reports of obviously false reviews as the problem, even as the same reviews and themes kept resurfacing.
21 November 2025: Reddit and Discord Close the Door
On 21 November 2025, Brodie escalated to Reddit Support in writing and tied the harassment campaign to prior formal reports, including his eSafety receipt (ACA-2024-0528878) and a police reference (CYR 0672200). On the same date, a captured screenshot shows a suicide-related report being closed within minutes without any substantive reply, mirroring the pattern he had already experienced on Discord: acknowledgement and closure, without action against the people doing the targeting.
Between 17 and 21 November 2025, Brodie filed appeals and complaints to Discord over the harassment strike and over Discord's evidence handling, repeatedly asking for a human review. He tied the appeal back to a long list of prior Trust and Safety tickets and described being mass-reported across platforms. His correspondence explicitly told Discord that the way platforms were closing tickets and refusing to consider supporting material was pushing him into despair. One follow-up complaint captured the core frustration: he raised the seriousness of the situation in a ticket, and it was closed quickly without any meaningful response - reinforcing the feeling that the system was designed to end conversations, not stop harassment.
30 November 2025: Mental Health Trustpilot Attack
On 30 November 2025, a new Trustpilot review appeared: "Rude, unwilling to help, Soul needs profession help" (1-star rating). This review represented a particularly insidious form of attack - weaponising mental health stigma as business criticism. The statement "needs professional help" imputes mental illness, which under Australian law constitutes defamation.
The same day, a Discord ticket export documented 21 tickets spanning 2022-2025 where Discord had systematically:
- Closed reports without meaningful action
- Applied enforcement against the victim instead of perpetrators
- Created a pattern where the target was penalised for responding to harassment
The Discord Contradiction: The ticket history also revealed a stark institutional contradiction. In 2022, Discord's Trust and Safety team had thanked Brodie for providing screenshots and user IDs, explicitly encouraging that evidence format - and that approach had led directly to the IP ban on Mason Stockton. By 2025, with the same harasser (Stockton) still involved in the ongoing campaign, Discord now refused to accept screenshots as evidence and redirected all reports to in-app mechanisms.
Even more damning: Discord had scrubbed the original 2022 report from Brodie's account records. The report that resulted in Stockton's IP ban - the one clear example of Discord taking the problem seriously - was only recovered through a formal data subject access request. The platform had erased its own evidence that email-based reporting with screenshots had worked.
1-4 December 2025: Disability Discrimination Act Refusal
Brodie formally invoked the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Australian law), cited ADHD, and explained how the prolonged harassment campaign was exacerbating disability impacts. He requested reasonable adjustments in Trustpilot's investigation process.
Trustpilot's Response (4 December 2025): Explicit refusal. "We are unfortunately unable to accommodate a phone call." They offered only a 1-month subscription to a mental health service ("Plumm") as an alternative.
Legal Significance: Refusal to provide reasonable adjustments for a documented disability constitutes discrimination under Australian law.
Psychological Impact Visible: Brodie's correspondence with Trustpilot had shifted from professional legal briefing (October) to profanity-laden desperation (December). Four months of institutional indifference had broken the victim's composure.
2 December 2025: Joel Walker's Meth Accusation
On 2 December 2025, customer JackOByte reported Joel Walker's new Facebook post to Brodie: "Legions killfeed is spamming evidence he smokes meth on the regular."
This false accusation of methamphetamine use represented a new escalation - moving from "pedo" smears to drug-related defamation. Meta refused to remove the post despite formal complaints.
5 December 2025: More Fake Reviews
By 5 December 2025, the dispute shifted from "is this review fair" to "is this person even real."
A one-star review under the name "Hooded_Saw" claimed Brodie refused support, ignored a ticket, and then created a separate channel to call the reviewer names.
Brodie's own customer search screenshots show no matching customer record for the "hooded_saw" name or the email attached to the review.
8 December 2025: Discord Thread Spam Campaign
On 8 December 2025, a Discord-linked defamation flare-up became visible in a space with no moderations so there is nobody to police it. A user account named "jeff_is_boss" appeared in a mutual server, Jeaber's Killfeed Support, a discord server with the most console dayz server owners and no moderators - with a thread list dominated by attack framing.
The thread titles were not ambiguous criticism. They included variations like:
- "Legion (AKA Soul is a Pedo)"
- "Legion scam"
- "Soul be scamming"
- Repeated promotions of "aggropvp.com"
The point of those threads was not to resolve a support issue. It was to attach a criminal label to Brodie's name and to funnel readers toward a hostile website, using Discord's thread system to keep the smear visible and refreshed.
9 December 2025: Meta AI Training Concerns
On 9 December 2025, Brodie pushed the Facebook side into a more formal posture. His correspondence to Meta's privacy operations included a large attachment bundle tied to the Joel Walker Facebook accusations and the ongoing refusal to remove them.
He also raised a second, related harm: that Meta's AI training and "public internet" ingestion processes were sweeping up personal information and republishing it through automated summaries, even while Brodie was actively objecting to the underlying defamatory source material.
10 December 2025: Kamy Review Returns
On 10 December 2025, a review posted under the name "Kamy" reappeared describing Legion as "really bad." Brodie's reply stated that Trustpilot had already removed it once because it was left by a competitor, and he framed its return as the platform allowing the same competitor material to be published again.
15-16 December 2025: Discord Enforcement
On 15 December 2025, Brodie received a generic Discord enforcement notice saying his recent activity broke Discord's rules - without specifying what content triggered it.
On 16 December 2025, more Discord violation emails followed, including a removal notice.
16 December 2025: Trustpilot Evidence Manipulation
Brodie discovered Trustpilot had altered flagging history on multiple reviews. Reviews Brodie had flagged showed zero flagging history in the backend, contradicting his email records proving multiple reports filed.
The platform had rewritten its own records to avoid a liability trail.
15-19 December 2025: TikTok - Edward Griggs Continues Harassment
December 15, 2025: Brodie posted a TikTok video explaining the Legion Killfeed story with a song: "building Legion Killfeed from scratch, surviving smear campaigns, Trustpilot chaos, and still keeping the servers running. Proof beats noise. Every time."
December 19, 2025: Edward Griggs (Crix Madine Jr) appeared in the comments: "Because this clown is so focused on Skynet and can't figure out new features for his killfeed."
Brodie's Response with Evidence: Brodie replied with screenshot evidence showing Griggs' previous suicide encouragement:
Eddie Griggs - Today at 12:06 AM: "@aSoul | LEGION KILLFEED You really should just do your kids a favor and just kill yourself. their lives would be better."
Soul | LEGION KILLFEED - Today at 12:06 AM: "Probs will eventually Crix."
Eddie Griggs - Today at 12:07 AM: "As far as your slut wife, who gives a fuck."
Eddie Griggs - Today at 12:09 AM: "Look who touches their own kids."
Eddie Griggs - Today at 12:09 AM: "Idk Ask your kids. you are the one that raped them. Sick fuck"
Brodie's reply: "Eddie you know how stupid you look when you lie don't you? Like c'mon Griggsy, you know better by now."
Community Support: Other commenters rallied:
- George: "I remember the day the work logs went public. 'but we've been doing all the work'. Barley logged on compared to your logs."
- ROOSTER: "Man you helped me when I was a struggling console owner, I'll always speak good on your character and attitude. Keep going friend you got this!"
This demonstrated harassers were active across multiple platforms (Discord, Facebook, TikTok) with a consistent pattern: false accusations about children, suicide encouragement, and targeting family members.
22 December 2025: Fraudulent DMCA and Search Amplification
On 22 December 2025, Brodie documented a new tactic around the slander-site infrastructure: a fraudulent DMCA-style mirroring move connected to aggropvp.com, alongside captures showing the Skynet-versus-Legion slander pages climbing into prominent search positions. In the same cluster of materials, Brodie preserved a clip where a DMCA-related interaction was turned into a bait-and-mock moment, reinforcing the broader theme that takedown pathways were being treated as another surface for harassment rather than a way to stop it.
22 December 2025: AI Laundering
By 22 December 2025, a Google AI-style summary about Legion Killfeed circulated repeating a bundle of community allegations as if they were a neutral overview:
- Claims about "server sabotage"
- "Rude or unprofessional" support
- Token handling
- Arbitrary bans
- Rivalry with Skynet
The shift here was important: once a false claim becomes "the controversy," AI summaries can launder it into something that reads like established background, even when the underlying source is a harassment post.
23 December 2025: eSafety Complaint Renewed
On 23 December 2025, Brodie filed a renewed complaint to the Australian eSafety Commissioner's cyber abuse team (receipt ACA-2025-0729927), explicitly challenging a closure decision that treated the matter as "purely reputational harm."
That same day, Brodie also preserved paperwork relating to a Lumen defamation complaint routed to Google and a Google takedown request reference (7-4274000039113), tying the harassment story to search visibility. The point was not that Google authored the allegations, but that search and automated summaries were amplifying them as if they were neutral background, which is how a smear escapes the original platform and becomes ambient reputational damage.
eSafety Commissioner's Response: Referred Brodie to counseling services. The government regulator tasked with addressing cyber-abuse refused investigation and provided a mental health referral instead.
The complaint had documented:
- Coordinated cross-platform harassment (5+ individuals, 3 countries)
- Commercial competitor orchestration (Danny Hayes/DayZ Skynet UK, Mathew Trojanowski/DayZ Skynet, Edward Griggs/BigFatMods, Joel Walker/competing server)
- Doxxing website (AggroPVP.com with residential address)
- Platform republication after notice (documented repeated instances)
- Mass brigading (33,000-member group)
- False reporting campaigns
eSafety's Response: "We know this has been a difficult time for you."
Brodie referenced an earlier 2024 complaint where eSafety had treated the situation as serious targeted abuse. His argument was simple: the conduct continued, escalated, and spread across platforms. The "reputational harm only" framing did not match the reality of doxxing, child-image targeting, and coordinated intimidation.
Late December 2025: External Reporting Channels
By 27 December 2025, the month ended in the same loop that had defined the entire second half of 2025: platforms acknowledging the complaint without acting, while Brodie kept sending escalating documentation.
In the same period, Brodie lodged a Scamwatch report about aggropvp.com that was assigned a reference number, pushing the harassment websites into yet another external reporting channel.
December closed with the campaign still active across Discord, Trustpilot, Meta, Reddit, hostile websites, and now automated search summaries - and with the burden still sitting on the target to keep proving, again and again, that the same recycled accusations were not "controversy," but a deliberate pattern.
Part Eleven: January 2026 - The Same Campaign Keeps Moving
January 2026 did not open a new dispute. It showed the same campaign adapting again. The earlier threats, child-targeting insults, Trustpilot attacks, Discord report abuse, hostile websites, search-result damage, and platform refusals kept folding into each other. Each platform treated its own piece like a separate complaint, but the record shows the same names, claims, tactics, and timing continuing across the same conflict.
5 January 2026: Griggs suicide and child-targeting comments move into TikTok context
On 5 January 2026, Edward Anthony Griggs Jr., using the Crix Madine Jr. identity, entered Brodie's TikTok comments with the same Skynet-versus-Legion attack. Brodie answered by preserving and reposting the earlier Discord context instead of treating the TikTok comment as a standalone insult.
The preserved exchange matters because the old Discord material included suicide encouragement and child-targeting allegations. The TikTok argument was therefore not a harmless platform spat. It pulled an earlier record of telling Brodie to kill himself, referencing his children, and using sexualised insults around his partner back into the public feed.
Public TikTok reference: https://www.tiktok.com/@legionkillfeed/video/7591737346924612871 (Paper Crown, Paper Kings, 9522 views, 415 likes).
6 January 2026: Infrastructure and Skynet site links
On 6 January 2026, Brodie preserved DNS history, support-chat footage, and website snapshots for aggropvp.com, dayzskynet.com, and skynetvslegion.com. Those captures were not random technical screenshots. They documented possible shared hosting, domain history, and support-chat claims that connected hostile or competitor-facing web properties back into the same dispute.
The same day also preserved Skynet feature claims and pages showing unavailable features, which matters because public claims about capability, ownership, and originality were being used while Brodie was still documenting the code-theft history and the repeated attempts to reframe Legion as the problem.
Public TikTok reference: https://www.tiktok.com/@legionkillfeed/video/7592150571134635285 (Same IP Same Game, 12.8K views, 322 likes).
7 January 2026: Bohemia notice reframed as persecution
On 7 January 2026, the record captured Joel Walker reposting or discussing a Bohemia Interactive legal notice and framing it as being harassed by Bohemia. That framing is relevant because it matched a recurring tactic in the archive: a formal complaint, warning, or notice is presented to an audience as victimisation, then the crowd is invited to react to the emotional version instead of the underlying conduct.
This matters to the broader timeline because the same method had already been used against Brodie. Complaints about code theft, doxxing, review abuse, and child-targeting remarks were repeatedly flattened into drama, banter, or personality conflict, making the person preserving evidence look like the aggressor for responding at all.
8 January 2026: ACCC and platform dead end
On 8 January 2026, Brodie preserved ACCC correspondence showing the practical dead end around Trustpilot and review-platform harm. The response pointed to general pathways and support options, while Brodie's problem was specific: false or disputed reviews, platform refusals, repeated notices, and public business damage that kept surviving moderation.
That same window also preserved file and timestamp material tied to Legion's DayZ tools, oEmbed work, search tools, and code provenance. Those records helped answer the public copying narrative with concrete dates, files, and implementation history instead of arguments about tone.
8-9 January 2026: Evidence scale explained to a subscriber
Across 8 and 9 January 2026, Brodie explained the scale of the preserved evidence to a Legion subscriber who had originally asked about DDoS defence. The conversation is important because it shows how the harassment had become operational background noise. A customer support exchange about server protection turned into an explanation of years of code-theft claims, doxxing, family threats, review attacks, and platform refusals.
Brodie also described why the record had become so large: he had spent years documenting instead of matching the public smear campaign post-for-post. The preserved numbers were used to show that this was not one argument, one review, or one Facebook post. It was a long-running file trail attached to the same business breakup and the same stolen-code dispute.
Public TikTok references: https://www.tiktok.com/@legionkillfeed/video/7593246306458438930 (History Tab, 14.4K views, 1352 likes) and https://www.tiktok.com/@legionkillfeed/video/7593846013081718034 (Receipts Don't Expire, 8574 views, 789 likes).
10 January 2026: TikTok promotion removed during harassment
On 10 January 2026, a TikTok Promote campaign was approved and then removed mid-run after Griggs engaged with the content and was blocked. Brodie preserved the approval, the rejection, the video-removal notifications, the ticket responses, and the surrounding comments because the sequence matched the wider reporting-abuse pattern: hostile engagement happens, the platform action lands, and the target is left reconstructing the timeline after the visibility damage has already happened.
The important point is not whether TikTok made one bad decision. The important point is that platform enforcement kept arriving in the same direction: the person documenting the harassment lost reach, had content removed, or had account standing affected, while the history behind the reports had to be re-explained every time.
12 January 2026: Mass-report tooling and Discord strikes
On 12 January 2026, a Discord account posted a file described as mass-reporting and lag-switch tooling across multiple Legion channels, while also encouraging people to mass report the server. Brodie preserved the account name, user ID, channel spread, timing, and file link because it showed the tactic openly: enforcement systems were being treated as weapons.
That same period also captured Discord account-standing restrictions and violation screens. The reported material involved older posts and real-life context, yet the enforcement landed first and the removal notices came later. This mirrors the late-2025 Discord problem: automated or low-context enforcement affects the victim's business account, then the victim has to prove the context after the interruption has already occurred.
17 January 2026: Repeated Facebook comment attacks continue
By 17 January 2026, the record shows the public harassment continuing through repeated Facebook comments across multiple Legion posts, not a single one-off reply. Crix Madine Jr. repeated the same taunting line under current and older Legion content, including posts tied to Trustpilot, ACCC complaints, TikTok links, Project Jackelope, and earlier statements. The pattern was repetition across surfaces, not a single comment thread.
The same date also preserved BIG FAT MODS reactions and Brodie's warning on the Crix Madine Jr. page about suicide encouragement and incitement. KaLee Whitmore's reply alleging that photos of Brodie's children had been shared added another link back to the long-running child-targeting pattern already documented in earlier parts of the timeline.
This is where the January record stops being a list of platform events and becomes the clearest continuing pattern: the same people kept resurfacing, the same claims kept being repeated, the same family and suicide themes kept being dragged back in, and the same platforms kept treating each new surface as if it had no history.
19-24 January 2026: Trustpilot reviews and former admin context
From 19 January to 24 January 2026, Trustpilot became the main public damage surface again. Griggs-related reviews were posted, flagged, edited, taken offline, updated, and appealed through multiple case numbers. The review process itself became part of the evidence because each status change showed how easily reputation damage could appear, disappear, return, or be reframed before a clean resolution existed.
During the same window, Brodie contacted a former Kamikaze admin, MWFJunkie69, from the iDieBoo Xbox account. That exchange preserved context around FTP accusations, Azzy, Anon PVP, file access, harassment, and the code-theft history. It matters because the 2026 public narrative was still trying to rewrite the older dispute, while people from the old ecosystem were still able to corroborate parts of the background.
31 January 2026: Meta report exports and Oversight Board filing
On 31 January 2026, Brodie preserved Meta support inbox exports across multiple accounts and an Oversight Board review request tied to Adam Cooper and the wider Facebook-post problem. The evidence shows report history, template handling, and unresolved content across Daniel Santos, Joel Walker, Brett Jones, Griggs, and related posts.
The month closes with the same practical problem it began with: the evidence was no longer hard to find, but the platforms kept dividing it into separate forms, separate tickets, and separate policy categories. That fragmentation is why January belongs in the continuing-harassment timeline rather than as a disconnected month of screenshots.
Part Twelve: February 2026 - Review Platforms, Search Results, and AI Summaries
February 2026 shows the same campaign moving through review systems, Facebook posts, Reddit moderation, Google AI summaries, and public TikTok responses. The harm was no longer only the original post or review. The harm was the way each platform kept a piece of it alive after notice, while search and AI features made the disputed material easier to surface.
2-9 February 2026: Trustpilot pathways keep closing
From 2 February to 9 February 2026, Brodie preserved Trustpilot dashboards, case views, email threads, and flagging-history screens showing a blocked or circular reporting path. The Consumer/Hooded_saw review dispute, the Kamy filtering issue, the Kyle review issue, and multiple ticket threads kept producing inconsistent wording: filtered, deleted, restored, stayed online, removed, or flagged.
The February Trustpilot record matters because it shows the platform process becoming its own source of damage. Brodie was not only disputing reviews. He was documenting contradictions between dashboard states, support replies, appeals, and visible publication after notice, while legal, ACCC, and preservation language had to be repeated across threads.

11-13 February 2026: Skynet metrics, reviews, Reddit, and Kyle
On 11 February 2026, the archive joins two problems that had been running side by side: Skynet public metrics and Trustpilot review handling. Brodie preserved screenshots showing questionable Skynet stat displays, system-delay claims, and Trustpilot flagging activity around the same review sets. The point was to show that public credibility claims and review-platform damage were moving together.
On 12 and 13 February 2026, the Kyle review cycle became another example of stop-start moderation. A formal letter, reinstatement material, later offline confirmation, and Reddit moderation screenshots were preserved together because they show the same loop: a disputed item is reported, platform status changes, public damage remains possible, then another support thread is needed to explain what should already have been clear.

15-16 February 2026: Meta, Google AI, DayZ Editors, and moderator refusal
On 15 February 2026, the evidence widened again. Meta report-history screenshots were preserved next to the underlying Joel Walker and Adam Cooper posts. Several reports were rejected quickly, while the posts and comments continued to matter because they were not isolated Facebook drama. Google AI and search surfaces were also quoting or summarising related DayZ Editors content, making platform inaction visible outside Facebook.
The preserved Facebook material included claims that Legion Killfeed caused reset loops, claims that communities using Legion should be banned, comments attacking Brodie personally, and child-sex-abuse smears. On 16 February 2026, a DayZ Editors admin refused to remove a competing-bot recommendation from a reputationally sensitive thread, and Brodie issued a formal seven-day notice. That refusal is part of the timeline because third-party moderation choices helped keep the smears visible.

19-21 February 2026: Trustpilot, domain reputation, and rating damage
From 19 February to 21 February 2026, Trustpilot and domain-reputation evidence continued. Trustpilot confirmed that disputed content was flagged for defamation while still visible, refused an appeal to keep a review online, and later moved another disputed review offline. In the same window, Brodie preserved domain-reputation scanner material showing killfeed.co marked with a warning connected to a Bfore.Ai listing.
This period matters because the attack surface had expanded from posts and reviews into trust signals. Reviews, AI summaries, security scanners, and search snippets all affect whether a new user trusts a service before they ever speak to the owner. The archive records Brodie trying to correct those surfaces while the platforms treated each surface as a separate ticket.
February 2026 TikTok references
February also included public TikTok responses that tied the evidence trail back into short-form media without indexing the damages item. Relevant public references are https://www.tiktok.com/@legionkillfeed/video/7609390113818430727 (The day I file, 43.3K views, 13751 likes) and https://www.tiktok.com/@legionkillfeed/video/7609584977918856455 (The Little Things, 34.1K views, 10903 likes).
Part Thirteen: March 2026 - Discord Blowback and Public Rebuttal
March 2026 is smaller in file count, but it continues the same story: moderation context gets stripped down, old insults are reused, alternate-account framing keeps appearing, and the platform action still lands on the person preserving the evidence.
2-5 March 2026: Discord moderation blowback
From 2 March to 5 March 2026, Brodie preserved Discord material around the Mr Glizzy / Silly situation, including alt-account context, bans and kicks, missing background, and paedophile-insult framing. The March evidence is important because it shows how a moderation decision can be publicly retold as misconduct once the surrounding context is removed.
On 5 March 2026, Discord account-limitation and hateful-conduct strike material was preserved along with later violation-removal notices. That sequence again follows the same platform pattern: enforcement affects the account first, the target proves context second, and the business disruption remains even if the strike is later corrected.
March 2026: Public response videos
The March TikTok posts were not random music filler. They were part of the public rebuttal layer around monopoly claims, server culture, and repeated public attacks. Relevant public references are https://www.tiktok.com/@legionkillfeed/video/7612583128246340871 (Monopoly Mode, 18.6K views, 4243 likes), https://www.tiktok.com/@legionkillfeed/video/7616434506400042248 (Cars PVP Anthem, 4860 views, 83 likes), https://www.tiktok.com/@legionkillfeed/video/7619776430624328978 (Fuck All Song, 3229 views, 176 likes), and https://www.tiktok.com/@legionkillfeed/video/7620513615400946962 (The Fuck All Song, 6297 views, 103 likes).
Part Fourteen: April 2026 - Search Harm, Legal Removals, and Regulator Escalation
April 2026 is where the continuing campaign moves heavily into search, legal-removal, Reddit, eSafety, Ombudsman, and preservation territory. The issue was no longer only whether hostile posts existed. The issue was that those posts, snippets, summaries, and moderation decisions kept shaping the public record after repeated notice.
5 April 2026: Google review edit proof
On 5 April 2026, Brodie preserved Google review material tied to the Mathew Trojanowski dispute, including browser views and edit-proof context. This entry matters because Google-facing review material creates reputation damage beyond Trustpilot, and the evidence had to prove not just that a review existed, but how it changed and why the surrounding context mattered.
Public TikTok reference: https://www.tiktok.com/@legionkillfeed/video/7625211769333517575 (The Legion Killfeed Setup Flow, 24.6K views, 481 likes).
14-19 April 2026: Google, Reddit, Joel Walker, and Lumen
From 14 April to 19 April 2026, Google legal-removal correspondence, Reddit claims, Joel Walker material, Trustpilot context, Facebook material, and Lumen-publication issues converged. Google requested exact text, screenshots, applicable law, and follow-up detail, while the disputed content and snippets continued to create search-result harm.
The April record shows why Brodie kept escalating. Once a Reddit or Facebook claim appears in search, the damage is no longer contained to that platform. It can be repeated in snippets, AI answers, legal-removal records, screenshots, and community posts, even while the underlying accusation is still disputed and the rebuttal material is harder to keep visible.
20-24 April 2026: Search surfacing and AI summaries
Between 20 April and 24 April 2026, Brodie preserved Google search results, AI-style summaries, Reddit moderation records, Facebook group posts, competitor references, and selective-removal evidence. This is the search-laundering phase of the timeline: once hostile material is indexed, it can return as a platform-neutral search result or automated summary, even though it came from the same hostile dispute.

25-28 April 2026: eSafety, Ombudsman, and Reddit Legal
On 25 April 2026, the archive preserved eSafety complaint material, Commonwealth Ombudsman escalation, and defamation bundles involving Joel Walker, Mathew Trojanowski, Reddit, and platform-handling failures. By 28 April 2026, Brodie had sent direct Reddit Legal correspondence and preservation demands.
This phase is important because the dispute had moved beyond ordinary platform reporting. Brodie was no longer simply clicking report buttons. He was preserving legal notice, regulator escalation, report failures, and records showing that the complained-about material remained discoverable after notice.
30 April 2026: Google repeat demand and wider market evidence
On 30 April 2026, Brodie preserved another Google takedown demand asking for human review of search results, snippets, and complaint handling. The same date also preserved material involving Joel Walker, suicide-themed language, and the Jarvis / Sauce / OzzieHousos DayZ BoosterZ dispute.
The Jarvis material is relevant because it shows the same market pattern repeating outside the narrow Skynet thread: accusations, missing context, deleted messages, competing services, payment disputes, and reputation attacks keep becoming public ammunition in the DayZ tool scene.
Part Fifteen: May 2026 - Reddit Packets, Concerns Notice, Google Refusals, and New Review Chains
May 2026 shows the continuing harm becoming more formal and more public at the same time. Brodie was preparing legal notices and evidence packets while the same conflict kept appearing through Reddit, Google, TikTok, Facebook, Trustpilot, Meta reports, and new reviewer trails.
2-5 May 2026: Reddit selective moderation and evidence packets
From 2 May to 5 May 2026, Brodie preserved Reddit moderation records, selective-removal screenshots, Obviously_Mario / DayZMultiTool context, competitor-link material, banned-account views, Reddit legal correspondence, Google removal complaints, Lumen notices, and consolidated evidence packets.
The point of this May group is continuity. Reddit was not just one thread. It became a place where old claims could be repeated, rebuttal material could be blocked or removed, competitor connections could be obscured, and Google could still pick up the result.
6 May 2026: Concerns Notice and Google complaint bundle
On 6 May 2026, Brodie preserved a Concerns Notice under the Defamation Act 2005 and a Google-linked complaint bundle referencing multiple complaint IDs. This formalised what the earlier parts already showed: the issue had moved past moderation preference and into alleged defamation, publication after notice, and reputation damage.

7-16 May 2026: Joel Walker, partner references, Google indexing, and TikToks
From 7 May to 10 May 2026, Brodie preserved evidence involving Joel Walker's knowledge of his fiancee's health issues, partner references, edited posts, group-share context, direct messages, contradiction screenshots, and Google indexing captures. This matters because the campaign was not limited to business claims. Partner and family references kept being pulled into the same public conflict.
Between 8 May and 16 May 2026, several public TikTok posts tied the proof trail to the public narrative without needing the damages item. Relevant public references are https://www.tiktok.com/@legionkillfeed/video/7637325197632179464 (Does not belong to you, 35.2K views, 1325 likes), https://www.tiktok.com/@legionkillfeed/video/7638784129860898055 (Nice Grin, 100.9K views, 11132 likes), and https://www.tiktok.com/@legionkillfeed/video/7640318751661034760 (Gossip Hotline (I would too), 23.3K views, 802 likes).
24-28 May 2026: Meta, Trustpilot, Google refusal, and Ray Smith
From 24 May to 28 May 2026, the archive preserved Meta defamation reports, Trustpilot rating captures, a Google refusal record, and a Ray Smith review/alt-account chain. This is another mutation of the same damage: one pathway stalls, another review appears, another rating changes, another account history has to be preserved, and the same business reputation is hit again.
The Ray Smith material is included because it shows that the issue was no longer only about the original code-theft split. The public narrative had created an environment where new review chains and account trails could attach themselves to the same reputation damage.
Part Sixteen: June 2026 - Current Endpoint of the Same Loop
3-4 June 2026: Trustpilot star impact and Meta report record
On 3 June 2026, Brodie preserved Trustpilot screenshots showing bad-review impact on Legion Killfeed and DayZ Multi Tool star ratings. On 4 June 2026, he preserved a Meta report record. Those entries are the current endpoint of this public index, not the end of the pattern.
The continuing point is simple: by June 2026, the same cycle was still active. Reviews still affected ratings. Meta reports still had to be preserved. Google and Reddit issues were still tied to search harm. TikTok, Facebook, Trustpilot, Discord, and hostile-site history still fed the same public narrative. The timeline does not end because the conduct was resolved. It ends here because this is the latest dated evidence included in this package.
Platform Failure Analysis
The categories below (A-G) are only applied where the workspace evidence (report.json) directly supports them. Platforms and categories with no supporting evidence in the workspace are not listed.
Conclusion
By the end of this timeline, the core story is not a single insult or a single platform dispute.
It is a sustained pattern of harassment and defamation that followed Brodie across Discord, Facebook, Trustpilot, Reddit, TikTok, and hostile websites - anchored to a business breakup in June 2023 and kept alive through republication after notice.
The Central Figures
Mathew Trojanowski and Edward Anthony Griggs Jr. remained central figures through multiple phases, with rotating associates amplifying the same accusations - especially the pedophile smear, because it reliably triggers mobs and threats.
The Tactics Used
- Doxxing appeared repeatedly, including public display of Brodie's home address and explicit threats to expand the targeting to his partner.
- Misuse of his children's images appeared as a deliberate cruelty tactic, used to intimidate and to taunt while accusing him of the very crime the harassers were implying.
- Suicide encouragement was used as a weapon, with explicit messages telling him to kill himself "for his kids".
- False criminal accusations (pedophile, rapist) were deployed specifically because they trigger mob violence.
- Review bombing was coordinated across Trustpilot to damage business reputation.
- Mass reporting tools were circulated to weaponise platform enforcement against the target.
- Infrastructure attacks included redirect sabotage, account lockouts, defamatory websites, and reputation-warning pages.
Platform Failures
Platforms were notified again and again:
- Sometimes a domain would be taken down, only to be replaced later.
- Sometimes a review would be removed, only to be reinstated.
- Sometimes an account would be struck, then the strike would be reversed - but only after disruption.
- Sometimes moderators openly refused to remove defamatory promotion or attack content even after the reporting history was already documented.
The consistent harm in all of that is easy to explain: every time a platform delayed, contradicted itself, or allowed the same allegations to reappear after it had been told they were false or dangerous, it gave the campaign another place to live.
Publication After Notice (Platform Liability Focus)
Most core perpetrators are outside Australia (US, UK, Canada). That makes platform compliance with Australian law the practical enforcement path.
- Trustpilot: Karl Messer review stayed visible 157 days across 7 periods, with 6 reinstatements after notice. The report set now tracks 17 documented one-star reviews with repeated removals, reinstatements, filtering, and offline states across multiple ticket threads.
- Meta/Facebook: Daniel Santos brigading thread stayed visible 45 days after 14 reports; multiple Joel Walker posts remained visible 77-112 days after 3-42 reports; Adam Cooper's post remained visible 114 days after 8 reports.
- Reddit: r/DayZDiscussions thread anchored 5 March 2024 remained visible 711 days as of 21 February 2026, despite formal notice on 1 October 2025 and follow-up on 4 October 2025.
- Discord: Trust & Safety reports and evidence submissions were repeatedly closed or deflected to generic forms while defamatory content persisted, and enforcement was applied to the reporting victim.
Focused platform analysis: Defamation case analysis (publication after notice).
The Ongoing Reality
As of 4 June 2026, the harassment continues. The same names keep resurfacing under new accounts. The same accusations keep being republished. The same platforms keep treating coordinated harassment as isolated moderation decisions.
And Anthony Gordon Brodie keeps documenting everything - because no one else will.
