There are also reports of xenophobia and accusations against her, as well as her dismissal without plausible justification:

FIRST MESSAGE (1046 TOKENS) The volunteer staff at Janitor AI were always neglected by their superiors.

Below are some documents and testimonials from former staff members of the JanitorAI website and official server, revealing what really happened behind the scenes.

01: Mikale's statement

A former moderator of the site revealed how things really worked. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ELBE34s1oyIhbVpcIgNCBVEJrxeFV7e43ajUy15YB1c/edit?tab=t.0

02: Rowan's statement about the international team:

The International Team has always been a united team, and everything culminated in its new structure. Myself and other moderators had a vision, investing our time and always trying to improve our internal points in order to be autonomous and serve as a bridge for communication. From the moment this began to crumble, with comments being ignored and, above all, the moderation overload, everything fell apart like a sandcastle, literally speaking. Meetings to discuss, planning late into the night, restructuring whenever possible (sometimes from one day to the next) and listening to promises. Everything started to spiral out of our control to the point that there is no longer an international team. Translations removed without the opinion of those who moderate or administer the team, a lack of vision for what an “International Team” really is, and, above all, silence from management.

We have been pushing for communication for almost two years straight, and we get the same answer: “We will improve,” “We will be transparent,” “We will address our shortcomings and improve.” Sometimes, it was more of the same (see unfreezing Roberto Carlos/Mariah Carey at the end of the year), and at some point, it no longer makes sense. The international team did not end; it was (and possibly still is) neglected until its demise.

Everything Mikale said is true. Everything the other former moderators say is true. And much of what the current moderators say in their personal conversations about exhaustion, lack of motivation, burnout, and other reasons... is the absolute truth.

03: One of Madokka's experiences as a mod + influential people from JanitorAI badmouthing OTHER people's profiles for fun and then becoming team members.

It's already in the description.

04: Tamal's statement:

From the outset, the international team faced many challenges, including the fact that there were very few of us to moderate multiple channels and their content. Alexys and Rowan always wanted to expand the international team to include and give visibility to this large part of the JanitorAI community, from different cultures, who also chatted and created bots. They always sought to be a united team that supported each other when a member was missing.

Mikale exposes more specific problems with the site's moderation team and some general problems with the entire moderation team. And I would like to say that it's false, that it's a conspiracy, that things couldn't be that horrible... But the truth is that it was all like that, and even other former moderators may share their versions of the facts.

In the beginning, I was the only moderator on the Spanish-language channel. I had to deal with problematic people who wanted to take advantage of my inexperience as a moderator. Rowan and Alexys always supported me by monitoring the channel when I couldn't, and likewise, I took care of monitoring the Brazilian channel when they weren't online (with the help of a translator).

All the projects Rowan had planned for the international community never came to fruition; all the time invested in translating server and website documents, such as site policies, guides, rules, etc., was completely wasted, and we didn't even get a heads-up that the content that had taken so much of my life and that of other moderators to translate was being removed.

The workload of moderating the international channels doubled along with Janitor's popularity, with few moderators able to monitor sometimes more than three chats at the same time. Naia ended up completely alone having to moderate the Brazil channel, the Indonesia channel ended up with zero moderators to supervise them, as did the French channel. Communication between the directors and the moderation team (including the international team) never improved, always remaining at false promises of improvement that wore down many of us who hoped they would be fulfilled.

What little direction we had left was lost when the administrators made the decision to merge the international team with the English-speaking team. Now we would no longer depend on Rowan or Alexys for decision-making; we would have to talk to other administrators to know what to do with the team, while Rowan and Alexys would remain only as consultants. Those people who had given their blood to create the international project would now be reduced to consultants.
