Defrootification
Consider bringing a glass of water!
Defrootification refers to an alleged proposed policy that Salt is set to undertake at some point in time during his administration, according to a frogposter who claimed to be a recently fired ex-moderator of the Sharty.
The allegation
[edit | edit source]The original allegation was made on a shitpost thread on 4cuck's /v/ board on November 9th, 2026[1][2] which claimed multiple things, such as Salt's true mindset for unbanning OGD, jannies purportedly allowing loli and shota content (and some being actual lolicons), Salt secretly keeping Root around as a manager long after his supposed retirement, future removals of certain rules, and many other similar, unverified claims. Among these was the claim that Salt wishes to be like Kuz, since he has stated that he believes him to be the best admin before him[3], and this involves a process of "de-frootification" to rid the Sharty of Froot's lingering influence, likely to restore the Sharty to a pre-Froot era, or as a means of erasing Froot's legacy as payback for him being such an ardent opponent to Kuz.
Methods
[edit | edit source]The alleged methods that Salt is believed to undertake to defrootify the Sharty are:
- Getting rid of Froot's banners because "there's no point in these banners if froot is gone"
- Bringing back the /incel/ board that existed during Kuz-era and was deleted during Froot-era
- Unbanning Flandreposting which was apparently first banned during Froot-era[it just was, ok?]
- Removing many rules from the Froot-era
Response
[edit | edit source]As of now, Salt has neither confirmed nor denied the theory.
Public reaction was mixed. Some 'teens believe it's possible, while others believe that it was either a frognigger falseflag or an elaborate hoax. An alleged former janny also questioned the OP's ex-moderator status[4], claiming that the post's background as re-hired a Quote-era janny debunks it because there are multiple Quote-era jannies that were never fired[that doesn't mean one fired janny couldn't be rehired though]. He also added that jannies' accounts are deleted without explanation when they're fired, while OP had claimed that he was demoted for "not acting on reports fast enough." If OP is to be given the benefit of the doubt, it's possible that moderators are given proper demotions with reasons attached while jannies are simply dismissed with no explanation 
On the Swinny, some pointed out that almost all of the information is "obvious from 5 minutes of browsing the site," casting doubt on the frogposter's ex-mod status and "insider perspective."[5]
