Winston Wu Happier Abroad New site moderator abusing his power Las Vegas Nevada

Winston Wu allowed a new member to become a moderator of his site and he is abusing his power. Pixel--Dude, aka Steve, is giving warnings and bannings to longtime and valued members that he personally doesn't like yet allows his personal friends on this site to get away with breaking the rules. Steve himself frequently has immature tantrums, insults people, and curses at other members. He also threatens and gives warnings or bans to members who question him because he is abusing his power.

Steve lies and accuses others of harassing or insulting other members yet it's really him and his small group of friends on this site that harass and curse at other members. If you defend yourself then Steve only gives you a warning or banning, but not his friends. If you point out the fact that other members on here that he is friends with uses racial slurs towards other members, insults them, breaks rules, and harass them, he claims that it is "tit for tat" and he won't give a warning or ban to them which coincidentally happen to be his friends. Right.

It is shocking that a brand new member was suddenly made into a moderator and it was never fully explained who this guy is and why he is allowed to abuse his power like this. More concerning is that he has access to member's private information such as e-mail addresses and IP addresses can edit or delete any posts he wants. Obviously, Happier Abroad is not a trustworthy site to provide your information to if Winston Wu literally allowed a random newcomer to have access to all of this sensitive data.

This site is supposed to be about travel, foreign dating, etc. but it's really made up of a small group of rude, disgruntled members who couldn't make it in the west because of their lack of education, mean attitudes, and refusal to learn any skills. It seems like they instead promote taking advantage of people from impoverished third-world nations.

Winston Wu claims that he supports free speech yet this is also the most restrictive forum I've ever been on where the members constantly make threads and polls about wanting other members banned simply because they disagreed with their opinions yet extreme racism, antisemitism, and fringe conspiracy theories that no educated person would agree with (such as the earth being flat) are all allowed. Mainstream sites like Reddit literally have more freedom of speech and fair moderation than this site does.

I also question the judgment of Winston Wu to allow this (a moderator abusing his power), yet Winston ignores anyone who has expressed concern.

I would not recommend this site because I don't feel safe having abusive, new moderators who we don't even know the background of suddenly having access to our private data.
