This developed last night. I will quote from someone not me:
An explanation of the server: Jiggly's Funhouse runs a mod they call "sourcecraft" which is actually a collection of other sourcemod plugins that have been combined into one big plugin. That last youtube link is of a competing server running war3source, which is essentially the newer public version that actually does come from their respective programmers. The gameplay is similar to an RPG where you get stats and levels. Those levels, like any RPG, take hundreds of hours to build up.
Community rage is on two fronts:
1.) The admin will wait for regular players to level up considerably, at which point they (allegedly) start harassing them to donate a minimum of $25 or else either get their stats reset or completely banned. The first youtube video is audio from one such incident. This practice has apparently been going on for a while.
2.) A player who decided not to get taken in by extortion, instead decides to donate $0.01. For those who are not aware, paypal charges for each transaction which means that "Jiggly's Funhouse" actually lost money from that donation. In retaliation, the owner (allegedly) decided to post personal information regarding that person, including the full name and email. In addition, he toyed with posting the home address. (shoutboxes, are of course, editable by admin.)
Note: I'm getting all my info second hand. If I'm getting details wrong, please correct me and I will fix it.
*warning: all three links contain foul language and/or nudityEarlier today, someone donated 1 cent to Jiggly's Funhouse server, and since the owner is charged 1 dollar for every cent donated, he raged and posted the person's info in the shout box on http://www.jigglysfunhouse.net/nukeevo/index.php
This is COMPLETELY illegal and the person is reporting him to Paypal and godaddy.
This server also has a history of blackmailing players into donating by threatening to perma ban them or delete their sourcemod levels. Here are some videos of admins ADMITTING to this:
