Short quotemo secretly began populating his secret slack by asking poasters for their throwaways deep into threads, deleting the evidence shortly after, and threatening everyone who applied and/or got in with banishment if they so much as mentioned his slack’s mere existence on XO or “anyone associated with XO.”

It took a lot of detective work from me, in the face of numerous denials + poasters in the slack who sought to throw others off the trail by mocking me, for the entire scheme to be unveiled. It also took whistleblowers, who poasted short quotemo’s lulzy application onto XO, along with revealing the precise name of the secret slack.
